Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 42: Punishment 

Anthony's POV:

The next day, I calmed down a little, and I chose a time when Jennifer would be in her dormitory to go and see her.

"Anthony!"

Jennifer beamed as soon as she saw me standing at the door, and eagerly pulled me into her room.

The moment she closed the door, she threw her arms around me.

"I missed you so much while you were gone," she added, wrapping her arms around my waist and looking up at me with a genuine smile on her face.

Damn it! For some reason, I felt bitter.

I subconsciously tightened my grip on the necklace in my hand.Looking at Jennifer's smile, all I could think about was what I saw last night.

In particular, in one of the photos I saw last night, Jennifer was talking to the unconscious Daniel with the same smile on her face.

It burned my eyes, filling my heart with resentment.

I knew Jennifer wouldn't betray me, but I still felt uncomfortable every time I thought of Daniel.

I tried my best to control my emotions and just let her hug me.

Then, I took out the necklace that I had retrieved from the Dark River Pack and showed it to her.

"It's my mother's necklace!" Jennifer's eyes lit up with joy and surprise as she took the necklace from my hand.

"Is this why you went away? To get this necklace from the Dark River Pack?"

"Yes, I wanted to give you a surprise," I replied.

In fact, I wanted to give her this surprise last night.But what I saw at the hospital made me stop myself from rushing into the ward.

I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to control myself, and would quarrel with Jennifer.

"Thank you, honey."

Jennifer stood on tiptoe to kiss me on the cheek, which eased my mood a little.

Moreover, hearing the word "honey" from her lips pleased me.

With a smile, I gave her a peck on the lips.

"Jennifer, what have you been up to these days?"

I let her go, sat on the edge of her bed, and looked at her.

While taking out the jewelry box to put the necklace in, Jennifer answered frankly, "Daniel was poisoned and had to be hospitalized.I have been taking care of him in the hospital these days."

She was telling the truth.

I had even seen Jennifer wiping Daniel's naked chest with a towel, which made me very unhappy.

Jennifer carefully put the jewelry box into a drawer and closed it.

"Daniel wouldn't have been poisoned if he didn't eat the dish I ordered.You know, he's my best friend here, and he always helps me.When I saw him being rushed into the emergency room, I felt so helpless.I didn't know what to do. Anthony, you know what? I've never been that scared in my life before.Someone almost died because of me.I can't believe a great guy like Daniel almost left the world.Thank God he’s still alive."

"Jennifer,"

I interrupted her because I didn't want to hear that name from her lips anymore.

Jennifer's POV:

"Anthony, what's wrong?"

I could sense that there was something wrong with Anthony's tone.

When I looked up at him, I knew he was unhappy.

His face was dark, and his eyes were burning with anger.

Had I said something wrong? "Anthony?"

I called again when he didn't answer, and walked up to him.

He still didn't say anything.

He just sat there, pulling a long face.

"I came back yesterday.I couldn't find you here at the dormitory, so I went to the hospital to see you," he finally said, gritting his teeth.

I had no idea that he had come to the hospital last night.

"Then why didn't you enter?"I asked him.

"When I got there, I saw you wiping Daniel's body.And he was shirtless."

I could tell from Anthony's tone that he was angry.

"Are you jealous?"

I asked, staring straight into his eyes.A spark of rage flickered in his eyes before he looked up at me.

"I also saw your intimate photos."I raised my eyebrow in confusion.

What was he talking about? How could there be intimate photos of me and Daniel? "There were many photos posted on the notice board,"

Anthony explained.I realized that someone must have deliberately taken photos of me and Daniel from a questionable angle so as to ruin my reputation.

"There's been some misunderstanding.Daniel and I are just friends."

"I don't like you being so intimate with him.Can you stay away from him from now on?"

Anthony interrupted me.

Did he mean that he didn't want me to talk to Daniel anymore? But Daniel and I were just friends.

Besides, Daniel had gotten poisoned because of me.

He was lying in the hospital with no one else to take care of him.

How could I leave him alone at such a time? "I really can't promise you that."

Anthony suddenly stood up and walked towards me.

He looked so intimidating that I subconsciously took a few steps.As my back bumped against the wall, I shivered because of the sudden chill.

Then, Anthony's threatening voice came from above my head.

"What did you say?"

"I can't"

Before I could finish my words, Anthony stopped me with his lips.A minute passed, then two, then three...He pinned my arms above my head and pressed his body against mine.

His tongue buried deep into my mouth, and he inhaled deeply, as if trying to suck all the air out of me.

I wanted to say something, but I didn't have the chance.

Anthony bit my lower lip, M2 IW ue lam bet making me gasp in pain.

I struggled against him, but he only held me tighter.

I felt suffocated, but a part of me didn't want this feeling to disappear, so I began to respond to his kiss.

I opened my mouth again, letting Anthony's tongue enter it and entangle with my tongue, leading it in a passionate dance.

Encouraged by my response, Anthony wrapped his arms around my waist and pressed harder against me.

I felt something hard poking my thigh.

"Touch it and see how angry it is."

Panting hard, Anthony put his chin against the bridge of my nose and guided my hand downwards to unbuckle his belt.

My face turned red, and my whole body was burning, like I was in a sauna.

Anthony guided my hand to unzip his pants and touch his throbbing dick.

The moment I felt it, I collapsed into his arms.

"Now do you know you were wrong? Huh?"

Anthony asked breathlessly.My mind went blank.

Under the force of his ferocious rage and desire, I couldn't keep my composure at all.

As I trembled uncontrollably in his arms, I finally understood what was happening.

This was Anthony's way of punishing me.

"I was wrong."

Out of the desire to survive, I apologized and pulled my hand away.

However, Anthony didn't seem to be satisfied with my apology, because he continued to hold me tightly and began to lift my dress up with his free hand.

I trembled under his palms as I watched him lift up my dress to my shoulders and look at my breasts.

"You are so beautiful," he murmured.

When he swallowed, his Adam's apple bobbed in his throat.

The image of him being cold and aloof in the past flashed through my mind. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Back then, I could never have imagined how the two of us would end up now.

I had never expected Anthony to be so lustful.

His hands and lips wandered restlessly around my body, leaving countless hickeys on my skin.

He finally pulled away and bit me on my neck.

It wasn't until after a long time of begging him for mercy that he finally ended his pleasurable torture on me.

"I'll send a nurse to take care of Daniel.You don't have to take care of him by yourself."

Anthony helped me put on my clothes and held me in his arms.I had no choice but to agree.

"By the way, tell me about the poisoningDo you have any idea who would want to kill you?"

Anthony began to interrogate me about what had happened recently.

I hesitated for a moment.

I hadn't told Anthony about the enmity between me and Ella yet, but I figured that the time had come to do it.

"I suspect that it’s Ella.She has tried to kill me on more than one occasion, but I haven't found any evidence yet."

Anthony squeezed my shoulder comfortingly.

"Don't worry.I will help you get to the bottom of this."

"Thank you, honey."

I kissed him on the cheek to show my gratitude.

My relationship with Anthony had already become so intimate.

I wondered if I should tell him about my background.
