Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved Chapter 347: Won The First Battle

Daniel's POV:

Helen and I were sitting in the living room, watching news on TV.They were broadcasting the latest
news on the conflict between werewolves and vampires.

The news anchor announced that King Anthony had decided to let Austin lead the army to the front
line.

"Austin? When did they let him come back?" Helen gasped in surprise.

I shook my head.

"I don't know, but I know Anthony must have a good reason."

"Daniel, if the war goes on like this, I'm worried that the Black Stone Pack will be involved sooner or
later.I don't want you to go to war!"

Helen suddenly hugged me, her body trembling with fear.Just as I opened my mouth to comfort her, my
phone started to ring.It was Anthony.I answered the phone in a hurry.

"Hey, Mr.Jones! What's up?"

"Hello, Daniel.I was calling to ask about your coronation ceremony.Your father passed away some time
ago.Why haven't I heard any news from you? The situation is growing more and more chaotic with
each day that passes.The Black Stone Pack needs an Alpha to take charge," Anthony said.

"Mr.Jones, I completely understand where you're coming from.But the vampires have been stirring
trouble, so the other packs are busy.No one will be able to attend a coronation ceremony at this time,
so I decided to delay the date of succession." Anthony paused to think for a while.



"You're right.It's true that the succession ceremony can't be held in such a tumultuous period of time,
but the Black Stone Pack still needs an Alpha.How about this? I'll issue a notice to all the packs
announcing that you've been given the title of Alpha.That way, you can deal with pack affairs and
comfort the members of your pack.What do you think?"

I didn't expect Anthony to be so considerate.I nearly jumped with joy and exclaimed, "That's a great
idea, Mr.Jones! Thank you for your understanding!"

"No need to thank me, Daniel.It's nothing," Anthony said gently.

"After we defeat vampires, you can hold a coronation ceremony.By then, Jennifer and I will attend it."

"Sounds like a plan.Thank you.Bye!"

When I hung up the phone, I turned to Helen, who was looking at me expectantly.

"Helen, Anthony is going to announce that he will give me the title of Alpha in advance.Then, after we
defeat the vampires, we can hold the coronation ceremony."

"Oh, wow! Really? That's wonderful!" Helen clasped her hands happily.

"Anthony is so wise."

"And considerate.I didn't know he was still thinking of us, what with the vampire invasion and all.If it
came to it, I wouldn't sit still and wait for death.I would've gone straight to the front line to support our
troops."

"Daniel, don't! It's too dangerous!" Helen's eyes filled with dread.

"What would I do if something bad happened to you?"

I hugged Helen tightly and comforted her.



"Honey, don't go there.Nothing bad will happen to me.Besides, if we lose our home, where will we go?"

Helen bit her lower lip and nodded slowly.

"I suppose you're right, Daniel.I wasn't thinking straight.In that case, you should go.I'll support your
decision."

I reached out to cup her cheek.I was deeply touched by Helen's understanding of me.What a
reasonable wife I had!

Anthony's POV:

After dropping the call with Daniel, Jennifer looked at me searchingly.

"Well, what did he say?"Jennifer asked excitedly.

"Daniel said that since our situation is too chaotic as of late, he's been postponing the coronation
ceremony, " I explained.

"But I decided to give him the Alpha title in advance so that he can participate in pack affairs and lead
his pack already."

"Those vampires have gone too far.They've made a mess in our country and now our people are
suffering!" Jennifer snorted indignantly.

I wrapped my arms around her and made her lie down in bed.

"I'll handle it.Don't worry.What you need to do now is take good care of the baby.Get some sleep,
honey."

"Fine.Good night, Anthony."



Jennifer stuck out her tongue at me playfully.I chuckled and soon, the two of us fell into deep sleep.

All my dreams were good with Jennifer in my arms.

Early the next day, I got out of bed and rushed to work.

As soon as I reached my office, I asked my secretary to issue an announcement that Daniel, the son of
the deceased Alpha of Black Stone Pack, would inherit the title of Alpha and that, after the current
situation stabilized, only then would the coronation ceremony be held.

When that was settled, an attendant suddenly approached and reported the situation of today's battle.

"Mr.Jones, Austin has arrived at the Red Sun Pack.He led the elite soldiers to join the werewolf troops
there.They fought the whole night and beat off a large number of vampires.At present, our morale is
high, and we seem to have the upper hand for now," the attendant reported politely.

"That's fantastic!" I stood up excitedly.

"Inform all the elders that I'm holding a meeting to discuss next steps."

"Yes, Mr.Jones."

The attendants immediately nodded and left.

After dealing with other government affairs and signing some urgent documents, I rushed to the
meeting room.

In the meeting hall, I looked around the elders who were present and found that everyone's face was
full of joy and enthusiasm.

Obviously, they had caught wind of Austin's victory.



"Everyone, thank you for attending on such short notice.Let's cut the crap and start the meeting right
now."

I walked to the main seat of the meeting hall and sat down.

After the meeting was started, I asked my secretary to report the current situation to everyone present.

After my secretary reported everything, I nodded to him, gesturing for him to step back.Then I spoke
up.

"Now, everyone knows that the troops led by Austin did not disappoint us.They drove the vampires
back.I think that we should seize this as an opportunity to chase after them and further boost our
morale." Primo nodded.

"I agree." The other elders also nodded in unison.

"Austin is indeed an excellent soldier.I think he will keep on winning."

"It turned out that King Anthony is good at finding talented commanders."

Eric then asked, "So, Mr.Jones, what should we do next?"

"We might've won the first battle, but I'm worried that the vampires won't swallow this defeat
easily.They might fly into a rage and take advantage of the chaos to attack other packs and confuse
us.I'll have more troops sent to the other packs to strengthen their defenses in case the vampires fight
back."

I voiced out my plan slowly and clearly.

"I think that's a good plan.You're very considerate of the other packs.That's good."



Primo echoed my sentiments.

"Yes, yes, we can't let down our guard.After all, it's cunning vampires we're dealing with," another elder
chimed in.

I was happy to see that everyone supported my decision.It was rare to see the elders agree so readily
on something, and even rarer for them to approve of Austin.

"Since we're all in agreement, let's continue the discussion on military deployment," I suggested.

After the meeting, I strode out of the meeting hall in high spirits and returned to my office to deal with
the rest of the government affairs.

"Mr.Jones, Austin's on the phone.He's asking for you."

When I walked into my office, an attendant suddenly stepped forward and handed the phone to me.I
nodded and took the phone.

"Hello, Austin.How are things?"

"Great!" Austin practically shouted into the receiver.

"I just fought with those stupid bats, and they were all beaten to a miserable pulp." I couldn't help but
chuckle.

"Well done, Austin."

"Thank you," Austin said proudly.

"Don't worry, Anthony.I know what I'm doing.I'll strengthen the defense line of the werewolves.I won't let
a single vampire get past us."



"Okay, I trust you, Austin.But please watch your back, too," I said seriously.

"Caroline and Alice are waiting for you to come back."

"I know, I know.Anyway, thank you, Anthony.Bye," Austin said softly.

"Bye, Austin.Call me if you need anything.Be safe."

After that, I hung up the phone.I sat at my desk and tapped my fingers on the table.I sincerely hoped
that my brother would come back safe, sound, and victorious.
