Outcast: The Alpha King’s Beloved

Chapter 1: A Princess In Trouble

Jennifer’s POV:

“Jennifer, you bitch! Where is my pearl necklace?”

Barbara yelled from outside the door.

Startled by her voice, I stuffed the pearl necklace back into the wooden box in a hurry, and then

stashed the box under the pillow to hide it.

I had barely straightened up from the bed when the wooden door of the room was kicked open.

Barbara rushed in with a group of werewolves, followed by Luna Debra, whose face was covered

with a thick layer of foundation, but unfortunately, it could not hide the wrinkles at the corners of her

eyes.

These two women always dressed up extravagantly, as if they wanted to flaunt all the jewelry they

owned in a single outfit.

“Luna Debra, Miss Barbara, what can I do for you?” I asked politely, saluting them as usual with a

friendly smile on my face.

“Jennifer, where’s the pearl necklace I usually wear?”Barbara growled, grabbing my collar and

glaring at me.

“You bitch! You always have sticky fingers.You’re the one who cleans my room.Where did my

favorite pearl necklace go? I can’t find it.Did you steal it?”

“Miss Barbara, I didn’t take anything from your room.You can’t accuse me without evidence,”I

replied patiently in a tone that was neither humble nor pushy.

“You shameless bitch! How dare you talk to me like that? You want evidence? Let’s find it right

now!”Barbara spat, shoving me backward.

Then, she turned to the werewolves she had brought along and ordered them to search my room.

My small and shabby room was soon turned upside down.

The old quilt on the bed was thrown to the floor, and the small wooden table and stool were kicked

over with loud thuds.

What was worse, I had to watch Barbara walk all over my quilt in her expensive high-heeled shoes.

She even picked up the half-empty kettle that had fallen on the floor and poured the water on the

quilt.

It was as if she was taking this opportunity to vent all her anger.

I tried to keep my face expressionless as I stared at the ruffians turning my room into a mess, but

resentment gripped my heart and seeped into my eyes.

“How dare you glare at me? You’ll suffer when I find the necklace!”

Barbara shouted, driving her heels harder into my quilt.

I clenched my fists to suppress my anger and ignored her.

After a few more seconds of watching the werewolves knock all my things to the floor, I couldn’t

bear it anymore.

“Stop! I didn’t steal anything.Why are you doing this?”I shouted.

“Why? It’s simple. I am the Beta’s daughter, while you’re just a slave, a piece of garbage

abandoned by others!”Barbara snickered at me.

“You’re not noble at all.You are nothing but an orphan adopted by the Luna,”I replied fiercely.

Before their deaths, Barbara’s parents had been close friends with Luna Debra.

That was the reason why Luna Debra had taken Barbara in.In terms of bloodline, I was much nobler

than Barbara.I really didn’t know what I had done to offend her.

From the beginning, she had always disliked me, and stirred up trouble for me both in public and in

private.

At this time, a she-wolf overturned my pillow, causing the small wooden box to fall to the floor.

“No!”

I anxiously hurried forward to grab the wooden box.

But just when I was about to touch it, Barbara stepped on the back of my hand.

Her heel dug into my skin, drawing blood.

I couldn’t help but wince at the sharp pain.

“Bitch, what’s the rush? Why do you care about this shabby box so much? You must be hiding

something in it, “Barbara sneered.

A she-wolf picked up the wooden box and handed it to her.

Barbara opened the wooden box, revealing the pearl necklace that was lying in it.

I wanted to get up, but Barbara drove her heel harder into the back of my hand, pinning me down.

I was afraid that if I got up abruptly, I’d end up tearing my skin.

The pain was too much to take.

But compared to the physical pain I felt, the pain in my heart was even more.

“Luna Debra, look!”

Barbara picked up the pearl necklace and triumphantly waved it in front of Luna Debra.

“I told you that bitch stole my necklace! She just refused to admit it.How can a slave like her own

such an expensive necklace?”she spat, glancing at me in disdain.

Looking at the necklace, Luna Debra frowned and nodded in agreement.

“We put a roof over her head, but she stole from us! How dare she? She must be punished

severely,”

Barbara continued, trying to provoke Luna Debra even more.

“That necklace is mine! Miss Barbara, look at it carefully.It’s not yours at all,”I argued, biting my

lower lip.

“Even if this isn’t my necklace, it can’t be yours either.Since you lost my necklace, I’ll take this as

compensation.

“Clenching the necklace in her hand, Barbara kicked me in the chest and then threw the wooden

box to the floor.

“Luna Debra, you have to do something! Barbara is being unreasonable,”

I pleaded, turning to Luna Debra, who was my last ray of hope.

But Luna Debra just stared at me with contempt.

“Since you lost Barbara’s necklace, shouldn’t you compensate her for it? You should just feel

grateful that Barbara isn’t holding you accountable for it,”she said mockingly.

I gritted my teeth in anger.

I knew there was nothing I could do against these two vicious women, so I had no choice but to

swallow the insult and humiliation.

At the thought that the necklace left behind by my deceased mother was being snatched away from

me by Barbara, I almost lost control.I really wished I could tear the two women’s faces apart and let

them have a taste of their own medicine.

“Luna Debra, let’s go.This bitch’s room is so dirty.It’s not worthy of your presence.”

Barbara held Luna Debra’s arm and left arrogantly, with the werewolves following them.

“Bitch, you won’t get any food for the whole day tomorrow.That’s what you get for pissing me

off,”she added before leaving.
