Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 250: Their Arrival 

Betty's POV:

When Daniel first introduced Helen to us, I heard about her background.I heard that the future Alpha and Luna of the Rainbow Pack were good friends of hers.

Now, I knew that this rumor was true, because they had come running to help Helen personally in her time of trouble.

Moreover, Helen's father was an elder of the very same pack.

I knew that I needed to deal with this matter cautiously and stop at nothing to find the truth.

Recalling what had happened on the day that Marlon died, I couldn't help but feel guilty.

I had doubted Helen at the time, which must've hurt her.

Now that I calmed down, I found myself believing in Helen.

After all, she had no reason to murder my husband.

Even if she really wanted to kill Marlon, she wouldn't have used such a stupid method.

As for Mandy, she might've grown up with Daniel, but I still didn't know much about her.

Plus, thinking about how she had cursed Helen earlier, I couldn't help but feel dubious.

How could she have acted so uneducated? Her behavior was truly strange.

Unfortunately, there was no evidence to prove that Helen was innocent, so I could do nothing to comfort her.

With a sigh, I decided to put these worries aside first.

I had to prioritize dealing with my poor husband's funeral.

When we arrived at the church, I looked at Marion's body lying in the coffin.

"Honey, I came to see you" I said softly, trying to hold back my tears.

I stroked the coffin gently.

It was as cold as my heart.

"How are you? I miss you so much, Marlon.I miss you more each day."

God, just half a month ago, he was still alive and well.

Now, he was a cold, lifeless corpse lying in a coffin.

Thinking about this, I could feel my heart shattering into a million pieces.

"Alpha Marlon, rest in peace."

Skylar sighed heavily.

"Alpha Marlon, you were a fair and kind Alpha.We will always remember you."

Helen prayed beside her with her hands clasped together.

"Daniel, have you made your father's death public?" I turned to ask my son.

"Yes, Mom," Daniel replied without hesitation.

"The memorial service will be held in two days.Daniel, please send out the invitations to the funeral before then."

The truth was, I could do those things myself.

But now that Daniel was going to become the Alpha of our pack, I decided he could use the training.

"Sure, Mom," Daniel answered respectfully.

I looked at him. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

His eyes were red, but he managed to remain calm and collected.

It was good that he was able to deal with these trifles calmly.

I couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

It seemed that my son had become more mature overnight.

Just then, an attendant ran to us in a hurry.

"Luna Betty, Prince Anthony from the Osman Kingdom and his mate have arrived," the attendant announced breathlessly.

‘'Oh, my God!'’ I didn't think the prince would hear about Marlon's death, let alone come here personally to pay his respects!

"Everyone, come with me to receive the prince.Our welcome ceremony must be of the highest standard.We can't overlook anything!"

As soon as I was done giving orders, I rushed to the gate in a panic.

For some reason, Skylar and Jerome seemed unfazed.

They simply followed me with Daniel and Helen.

Jerome's POV:

I was expecting Anthony and my sister to come to the Black Stone Pack.

After all, Helen was also their friend.

But when I heard that they had already arrived, I couldn't help but feel excited.I hadn't seen my sister for a long time.

She had been busy and stressed, dealing with Anthony's Love Curse.

Now that the curse was lifted, she could finally be at ease.

I took Skylar's hand and together, we walked out of the church and headed to the Black Stone House.

From afar, I could see Anthony's private plane landing on the tarmac.

Anthony and Jennifer disembarked.

They looked good beaming, even.

"Good day, Mr.Jones.It's nice to meet you."

Betty took the lead and bowed respectfully to Anthony.

"Jennifer!"

After saluting Anthony, Skylar rushed over to Jennifer excitedly and practically pounced on her.

"Be careful, Skylar!" I hurried to follow her.

"You could've fallen.You're pregnant, remember?"

"Skylar, how have you been?"

Jennifer threw her arms around Skylar and stuck out her tongue at me.

"I'm fine.I heard you're pregnant, too.Congratulations, Jennifer! The Osman Kingdom is about to have an heir! " Skylar answered, taking Jennifer's hands in hers.

I chuckled softly.I knew she missed her friend very much.

"Congratulations, Jennifer.I'm glad you and Mr.Jones can finally get married without worries.I wish happiness for the both of you."

"I was really hoping everyone could come to the wedding, but I don't think that'll be the case." Jennifer sighed sadly.

"Yeah, we still need to figure out Helen's predicament, and I doubt Skylar can go back anytime soon..."

Thinking of everything that had happened, I sighed alongside Jennifer.

I understood what my sister meant.

Although she really hoped that Skylar could be there at her wedding, she was more worried about exposing Skylar's special powers, which would put Skylar in danger.

After all, Skylar had revealed her special power in the royal palace's banquet hall last time, and many had witnessed it.

She couldn't afford another mistake."Don't worry.

Everything will turn out fine.

Anthony and I will do everything in our power to make things work."

Jennifer smiled at me encouragingly.She was still so optimistic.

"Mr.Jones, please come in and have a seat.You must be tired from your flight,"

Betty cut in with a sheepish smile.

"Thank you." Anthony nodded.

Together, we all filed into the hall and got settled.

"Care for a drink? Juice? Coffee?" Daniel asked, enthusiastically playing his role as tonight's host.

"I'm pregnant so I can't drink coffee.I'm good with anything else other than that." Skylar chuckled.

To me, she winked.

"He will make a good husband in the future."

"You're right, honey." I laughed with Skylar.

"I'll have some juice," Jennifer told Daniel.

"Then, I want juice, too." Anthony sat down next to Jennifer and held her hand.

The two exchanged glances and smiled.

Seeing the way they interacted with each other made me grin from ear to ear.

I was just so happy that they could finally be together, after everything that they had been through.

"Okay, please feel at home.I'll be right back."

Daniel scurried off with an armful of cups.

"Let me help, Daniel."

Helen stood up to follow after him.

"Don't.It's no big deal, I can handle a few cups of drinks.Stay here and talk to our friends."

Daniel smiled at Helen.

With all of us together again after so long, the depressing atmosphere from earlier dissipated almost completely.

"Helen, sit here!"

Jennifer smiled at Helen and patted the seat next to her.

"Sure!"

Helen agreed without hesitation and sat down next to Jennifer.

Just then, Daniel returned to the hall with a tray full of drinks.

He distributed the cups of juice to everyone before finally settling down next to Helen.

"Now that everyone's here, let's get down to business.

"As Jennifer spoke, she gave a meaningful look at Anthony, who nodded.Then, she turned to Betty seriously.”

"Luna Betty, I heard that Helen was accused of murdering Alpha Marlon.What on earth happened? Tell me everything."
