Outcast: The Alpha King’s Beloved

Anthony’s POV:

The night before Marlon’s funeral, I picked up my phone and gave Adonis a call.

“How’s everything going, Dr.Adonis? I hope you’re prepared for the funeral tomorrow.We’re counting on you to tell the truth in front of everyone,” I said calmly.

“Hello, Mr.Jones.Don’t worry.I’ve been staying at home and didn’t go anywhere.I am fully prepared for what to say tomorrow,” Adonis replied in a respectful voice.

“But this morning, I received a message from Grace asking me to put all the blame on Mandy tomorrow at the funeral.”

A humorless snort of disdain escaped my lips.

I had already expected that Devin wouldn’t give up till the very end.

He was such a vicious man.

If Mandy was accused of murder in front of everyone at the funeral tomorrow, rumors would spread throughout the pack.

Even if she was proven innocent later, her reputation would be too tarnished to repair.

It seemed that Devin was ready to throw anyone to the wolves as long as he could stay in the clear.

“Dr.Adonis, please tell Grace that you’ll do as she says.We have to make sure that she and Devin don’t suspect a thing.”

I instructed Adonis in accordance with the plan that Jennifer and I had made.

“When they ask you to testify, you accusing them instead of Mandy will catch them off guard.”

“Good idea, Mr.Jones.I’ll do that,” Adonis replied.

Now that we had Adonis on our side, we were fully prepared to take Devin down.

Early morning the next day, the church received many visitors who had come to attend Marion’s funeral.

Jennifer and I were all dressed in black formal clothes for the solemn event.

More and more visitors poured in; some of them were Alphas and Betas from other packs that had a good relationship with the Black Stone Pack, while some of them were Marlon’s friends.

Almost all the werewolves of Black Stone Pack came to the funeral.

The love that they had for their late Alpha was clear to see.

“Thank you, thank you for coming,” said Betty, who was standing at the gate to welcome the guests.

Jennifer and I walked towards her hand in hand.

“I’m sorry, Luna Betty,” Jennifer said sincerely.

“Don’t worry, we won’t let the murderer go.”
