Outcast: The Alpha Kings Beloved Chapter 11 by Blue Tears. Jennifer’s POV:. Today was the first day of the training. Carson only asked us to gather together in order to emphasize how important discipline was, and briefly introduce the content of the training. Then, he dismissed us and told us to go back and get some rest. After all, we had just arrived here today. The formal training would begin tomorrow. Although the trainees were dismissed, I had to follow Prince Anthony’s order and stay behind in the training ground. Skylar wanted to stay with me, but I persuaded her to go back. With tears in her eyes, she took one last look at me before leaving reluctantly. Everyone knew that I was going to be punished for being late. All the other trainees left the training ground one after another. Before leaving, Barbara shot me a gloating smile. After the other trainees had left, Carson also left at Prince Anthony’s instruction, leaving only me, the prince, and his two attendants in the vast training ground. “Mr. Jones,” I greeted, bowing to Prince Anthony. “Have you realized your fault?” Anthony asked in a cold tone as usual. “Yes. I shouldn’t have come late. No matter what, I should abide by the rules. Since I broke the rules, I have to be punished,” I replied respectfully with my head down. “Good. ” Prince Anthony gave me a nod of approval. Then, he pointed at the obstacle course behind him and said, “Your punishment is to pass through the entire obstacle course in thirty seconds. When I took a better look at the area behind him, I gasped in shock. On the wide field, there were so many obstacles, such as three-step piles, a ditch, a low wall, a high jumping platform, a single plank bridge, a high wall, and so on. How would I be able to clear all of them in thirty seconds? It would only be possible if I grew wings and flew over them. “What? Do you have any objection?” Prince Anthony asked, raising his eyebrow. “No, not at all, Mr. Jones!”. I immediately sprinted towards the field, not daring to delay for another moment. Prince Anthony always meant what he said. It was unwise to question his decisions. If I delayed any further or tried to bargain with him, I would probably receive an even harsher punishment. One by one, I began to pass the obstacles. Prince Anthony stood by the side, personally keeping time for me. The first time I cleared the obstacles, it took me two minutes. When I came back to Prince Anthony and heard the time from him, my face turned red in embarrassment. It was nowhere near thirty sec onds! Prince Anthony started th e timer again expressionlessly

“Again. ” I went thr ough the obstacles over and over again. Each time, I fo und that it was a little easier. My skills were constantly improving, and I gra dually learned to clear the obstacles in the m ost efficient way I could to shorten the time. Soon, my clothes were so aked with sweat, which d ripped down on the field. The sun was shining high in the sky, and I felt hot and sticky all over. But since Prince Ant hony was here with m e, I didn’t complain. The time it took for me to cl ear the obstacles was graduall y growing shorter and shorter. One and a half minutes, one m inute, fifty seconds… I didn’ t know how many times I tried. When I rushed to Prince Anthony for th e last time, panting and on the verge of collapse, he said, “Thirty seconds. I almost dropped to my knees right there . I finally made it! After exerting mysel f for so long, I used up all my strength. All my limbs were numb, and I felt as if my body wasn’t even mine anymore. I knew that I must look extremely me ssy and disheveled. My whole body was c overed with a mixtu re of sweat and mud. I probably looked lik e I had just been pul led out of a quagmire. There was no way I would be late after this! I couldn’t go through such a torturous punishment again. “Well done!” Prince Antho ny looked down at me and nodded with a faint smile. “Are you t ired?” I wa s confused. Was I just imagining things? To me, it seemed like he was smiling. His sudden tenderness left me at a loss. Was this ruthless, cold-faced prince actually praising me? And was he ca ring about me? It didn’t make sense. “I’m not tired. I can hold on,” I re plied breathlessly. Despite how exhaus ted I was, I could n’t help but smile. Looking at his handsome fac e, which was so close to me , I was dazed for a moment. To be honest, he wa s the most handsome man I had ever seen. “Go back and have a rest. ” Prince Anth ony’s tone softened. “I’ll take you to see my mother in the afte rnoon. ” Prince Anthony asked me to be his m ate only to fulfill his mother’s last wish. I wasn’t surprised to hear that he wanted to take me to visit her. I suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Apart from the set of training clothes that had been give n to me when I arrived here, the only clothes I had were the worn-out rags that I had brought from Dark River Pack. Those were the clothes I’d w orn as a slave. There was no way I could show up wearing such clothes in front of Mrs. Elizabeth Jones, let alone as her son’ s mate. I clutched my clothes and was getting nervous. “It doesn’t matter

I will ask someone to p repare clothes for you. ” Hearing Prince An thony’s words, I breathed a sigh of relief. In the afternoon, I arrived at the seas ide port as Prince Anthony had asked. His private yacht was already parked there. Sure enough, he prepared clothes for me to wear. In the cabin of the yacht, I changed into the beautiful court-style dress and gracef ully circled around in front of the mirror. The hemline of the dress was e mbroidered with golden threads that shone brightly in the sun. The dress was cinched at th e waist, which hugged my cu rves and outlined my figure. I didn’t expect that Prince Ant hony would have such good taste when it came to women’s clothes. The dress was elegant and de cent, and the matching jewel ry was also very attractive. As soon as I opened the door of the cab in, I saw Anthony leaning against the ra iling on the deck with his arms crossed. When he looked at me, I could see a flicker of a ppreciation in his eyes. “Is this okay?” I asked, bitin g my lower lip. “You look bea utiful,” he s aid sincerely. “It just shows that you have good taste, Mr. Jones. ” I smiled. We took the yacht out of Marge I sland, and then took a car to th e royal palace of Osman Kingdom. I consciously sat in the back sea t, but to my surprise, Prince Ant hony asked me to sit in the front. “O ka y. Prince Anthony personal ly opened the door of th e passenger seat for me. I couldn’t help but feel flattered as I got into the car. I could tell th at he would be very good to his real mate when he found her in the future . It was said that the royal palace of Osman Kingdom was very beautiful. And since it overloo ked the sea, the scen ery was breathtaking. Although I was mentally prepared to s ee the palace, the magnificent sight that greeted me still left me stunned. The series of tall buildings w ere located on a high cliff by the sea, covering a vast area. The entire design was solemn, with a n aura of mystery. But under the bright sun, the palace shone with a golden light. I couldn’t help but straighten m y back and walk in a poised way a s I walked among these buildings. As soon as Anthony and I got o ut of the car, many servants ca me to help us with our luggage. I wanted to give a gift to Mrs. Jones, bu t I didn’t have anything to give, so Pri nce Anthony prepared a gift on my behalf. Every single part of the palac e was neat and in order, unlik e the packs I used to live in. The servants he re were gentle and respectful. Even though I was an o rdinary werewolf, they didn’t look down on me. After passing through several cor ridors, I finally saw Elizabeth i nside an elegantly decorated room
