Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 125

Tony's POV: 

I couldn't believe it.My friend, Simon, was sitting next to me.

Ever since Arthur became the Alpha, I had been living as a fugitive.

I had to flee, and as such, I didn't get many chances to see Simon.

Now that we had been reunited, I couldn't help but sigh wistfully.

I couldn't believe I was lucky enough to be alive and see my good old friend.

But even more pressing was Jennifer, who was asking me for the truth about the past.

I hesitated for a while, lost in my memories.

Scenes of the past flashed in my mind.

Over ten years ago, before Arthur ascended to the position of Alpha, he was the Beta.

Despite this, he still held a high position in the pack as the second hand of Alpha Lewis.

Arthur approached me out of the blue and asked me to do him a huge favor.

Arthur asked me to make up that prophecy about Jennifer being a jinx and that everyone around her were doomed to die.

I didn't know him that well, so I didn't expect him to ask something so ridiculous of me.

Naturally, I didn't want to accept Arthur's request, but then he kidnapped my family and threatened to torture them.

When he saw that I was still hesitant, he started to bribe me.

I had the hobby of collecting antiques back then, so Arthur offered me the antique that Lewis had given him as a reward for helping him.

Despite my initial hesitation, I ended up agreeing to cooperate with Arthur.

I foretold in public that Jennifer was a jinx, which turned the elders of the pack against her.

Later, Jennifer's mother, Doris, died suddenly.

Everyone said that Jennifer was the cause of Doris' death.

They demanded Lewis to eliminate the jinx, but of course, Lewis didn't agree.

He would rather die than turn on his daughter.

Then, Arthur formed a coup, overturned Lewis’ rule, and killed him.

As if that wasn't enough, Jennifer and her brother, Jerome, went missing.

Later, Arthur ascended the position of Alpha.

This series of unfortunate events was only just the beginning of my nightmare.

Arthur's rule was very cruel.

He hunted me and my family down, probably because he was afraid I would reveal his secret.

Although I had promised to Arthur time and time again that I would never tell anyone the truth about what happened, he never let me go and even killed all of my family.

Now, I had no family left, and this was all thanks to Arthur.

Despite my hatred towards him, I ran away.

I even fled to a barren mountain and lived under a different identity.

Only in this way could I evade his capture.

Over the years, I gradually grew insane.

Today was the first time in ages that I came to my senses.

Simply put, Arthur was evil.

He needed to be punished.

"Tony, Jennifer needs your help,"

Simon said gently, looking at me hopefully.

"You will tell her the truth, won't you?"

I nodded and, with his help, I got out of bed to walk up to Jennifer.

"Elder Tony, I can't forgive you for my father's death, but even I admit you're one of the victims here.The one we should target is Arthur."

I helped him to his feet.

"You don't have to kneel down and apologize to me.I believe that you truly regret the past.Since God guided me to find you, it means that he has given you a chance to redeem yourself."

"Jennifer, you are so kind.God bless you."

Tony wiped the tears from his eyes and bowed gratefully.

"I will do my best to make amends.Let me testify against Arthur for you.I have evidence against him.He gave me an antique that belonged to your father, and everyone in the Rainbow Pack know that Alpha Lewis had given that very antique to Arthur."

"Do you mean this?"

I found the antique that Tony loved so much and handed it to him.

"I saw this in your home when we first found you.I remembered it had belonged to my father, so I brought it back.At the time, you were still hysteric, but you held it close and tinkered with it every day."

"Yes, this is the one."

Tony took the antique from me and traced its outline with his finger sentimentally.

"Back then, Arthur bribed me with this and forced me to tell a false prophecy.Now, I will try my best to prove your innocence, Jennifer.By the way, I have some friends on that mountain.They saved my life once.After I help you deal with Arthur, I want to go back to see them.Simon, did you come across anyone else when you found me on the mountain?"

"We only saw a child.We didn't see anyone else,"

Simon replied with a slight frown.

"Tony, what's going on?"

"A few years ago, Arthur's men were chasing after me when two young werewolves saved me.I lived in seclusion with them on that mountain, and they treated my injuries.But I can't remember what happened after.Maybe it's because I went insane." Tony sighed.

"Never mind.The top priority is to bring Arthur to justice.After that, I'll take time to go back to the mountain."

Then, we started to discuss how to overthrow Arthur's rule.

Looking around the room at all the focused faces, I felt that it wouldn't be long before Arthur got what was coming to him.

Finally, my father would be able to rest in peace.
