Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved Chapter 70: Usurp The Throne

Anthony's POV:

When I heard that my mother was rescued, I felt so relieved.

Jennifer had taken her back using my private plane.

I rushed to see my mother, and those elders who supported me also followed.

They were happy that I didn't sign the agreement to give up the right to inherit the throne.

However, when I got to her room, my mother didn't hug me with a smile as I expected.

Instead, I found her lying in bed, unconscious.

The room was crowded with several doctors.

As they discussed my mother's condition heatedly, we had no choice but to wait outside for the time
being.

I sighed in frustration.

The cause of my father's death was still unknown, and now my mother was suffering because of
Austin.

All the same, I couldn't help but feel guilty.

If I had found my mother earlier, maybe she wouldn't have ended up in this position.

The elders were very angry.

They knew that Austin had threatened me, demanding I sign the agreement that absolved my right to
inherit the throne.



"How dared Austin hurt Mrs. Jones? He doesn't deserve to be king!" was still unknown, and now my
mother was suffering because of Austin.

All the same, I couldn't help but feel guilty.

If I had found my mother earlier, maybe she wouldn't have ended up in this position.

The elders were very angry.

They knew that Austin had threatened me, demanding I sign the agreement that absolved my right to
inherit the throne.

"How dared Austin hurt Mrs. Jones? He doesn't deserve to be king!"

"Unfortunately, we don't have solid evidence that it was him. Otherwise, we could use it against him."

One of the elders tried his best to persuade me.

"Anthony, we can't let Austin's reign continue. With such a cruel king in power, our kingdom is
doomed."

"That's right," another elder echoed.

"It's not a simple scruple among the royal family. The survival of the kingdom rests on this."

"You should seize the throne as soon as possible. We can't delay any longer."

"Anthony, you have our unwavering support."

Everyone in the room spoke up.

They were all really worked up over this.



I glanced inside the room as they continued to discuss.I saw Jennifer sitting by my mother's bedside,
looking back at me with a worried expression.

Truth be told, I had thought about usurping Austin more than once.

But I never found a valid enough reason to do so.

Even until now, I couldn't find out the real cause of my father’s death, so I had shoved this thought to
the back of my mind time and time again.

But with what happened to Jennifer and my mother, I needed to seriously consider overthrowing Austin.

I could try seizing his power by force, but I knew I wasn't as powerful as him yet.I needed to find the
right timing.

As I was deep in thought, I heard my mother stir.

At this time, nothing was more important than my mother's safety.The elders and I rushed over and
surrounded her bed.

Elizabeth's POV:

I felt so tired that I couldn't open my eyes.

Despite this, I could feel that I had been moved to a different place, but the voices of discussion around
me were very familiar.

Was I dying? Why was everyone so noisy? I could hear multiple voices.

It sounded like they were talking about my condition.

Amidst the chaos, I vaguely heard the voice of Anthony.



It sounded like someone was trying to persuade him to usurp the throne.

I tried to focus on their conversation.

They were asking Anthony to overthrow Austin.

I wanted to open my eyes and agree, but I was still too weak.

Perhaps it was because I hadn't slept properly in so long that I was so tired.

Even so, my mind was still sharp; I could hear what the elders outside were saying, but I didn't hear
anything from Anthony.

I frowned slightly. I agreed vehemently with what the elders were saying.

After all, if Austin was bold enough to do such a thing to me, who could say what he would do to
Anthony and Jennifer? I couldn't rest easy at all.

But first, I needed to open my eyes.

I struggled at first, but I managed to crack them open.

Light started to flood in my vision, then the world gradually grew clear to me. I was lying in my own
room.

The doctors around me were running around like headless chickens.

I glanced up and saw an intravenous fluid bottle hanging.

Lastly, I saw Jennifer sitting next to me.

"Mrs. Jones is awake!"



I heard her exclaim excitedly. I didn't have any strength left. I could only sit up with the help of Jennifer.

Anthony rushed to my bedside.

He gloomily watched as the doctors examined me.

Although Anthony always acted cold and quiet to others, he was an obedient son.After thinking about it
for a while, I decided to say my piece.

"Anthony, come here," I said.

He took a few steps forward and held my hand.

"I heard what you and the elders were talking about," I said grimly.

"Do you want to see the same thing happen again?"

"Mom, I'm sorry. I made you suffer."

Anthony pressed his face against the back of my hand, which was something he often did when he was
a child.

Ever since he was young, I had taught him to apologize whenever he did something wrong.But my son
had been getting more and more mature.

He hadn't needed to apologize in years.

"Anthony, Austin is no longer suitable to rule this kingdom.You've found your mate.Are you willing to
endanger her? Just look at what happened to me!"

My condition was only worsening.



If I died soon, I would die worried about my son and his mate.

Anthony suddenly raised his head from my hand and looked at Jennifer, who had stepped aside to give
us space.

"Bring her here," I told him.

Anthony stood up and walked over to his mate.He slipped his hand in hers and led her to my bedside.

"Anthony has found the mate that Moon Goddess designated to him. She is the lady in front of you,
Jennifer Smith," I announced loudly.

When the elders heard this, they broke into cheer.

"Now that Anthony has found his mate, he needs to protect her.We have to discuss a plan to fight
against Austin." The elder then turned to me seriously.

"Mrs.Jones, do you agree?"

But before I could answer him, Anthony nodded resolutely.

The elders were very excited to see this.They had been looking forward to this moment for a long time.

"But how do we go about this?" This question made everyone present fall silent.

"How about we gather an army and break into the royal palace? That sounds straightforward enough!"

"No, that's not perfectly justifiable." The elders then broke out in discussion.

After a while, I came up with a plausible idea.

"Isn't the Colored Flowers Pack being invaded by vampires?" I asked.



"How about we send Anthony to go help them? On the one hand, he can save the pack, and on the
other hand, he can build an alliance with them." Everyone nodded in agreement with me.

"We should send Miss Smith with him," one of the elders suggested.

"I heard she's a very strong and capable werewolf."

I thought about it and decided it was feasible.Then I took the opportunity to add, "When they come
back, we can hold an engagement ceremony for them and announce their mate bond."

After all, Jennifer was the one who had saved me; plus, she was Anthony's destined mate.No one
dared to question her validity.Once again, the elders agreed with my proposal.

"Anthony, Jennifer, what do you think?" I looked at the sweet couple meaningfully.

Anthony nodded with a smile.

"I think this sounds good.Thank you, Mom."Jennifer also smiled shyly to show her approval.

It truly warmed my heart to know that Anthony had found his mate.Seeing the way the two looked at
each other made me feel so happy.

I just wished they could stay safe.
