Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 180: Meeting Linda Again 

Skylar's POV:

With ample rest and recuperation, I eventually made a full recovery.

Before long, I was discharged from the hospital.

I was pleasantly surprised by flowers that suddenly appeared in front ofon the day I was to be discharged from the hospital.

The people who cto greetwith flowers were Jerand Robin.

Jerwas holding a large bouquet of delicate red roses in his arms, while Robin was holding a bouquet of golden sunflowers.

"Congratulations on getting discharged today, Skylar." Jerspoke first.

He smiled gently and handedthe large bouquet of roses.

I hesitated to accept the flowers because I knew that roses represented love.

My heart thumped inside my chest as I didn't know what to do when Jerexpressed his love tome.

"Skylar, I hope you like sunflowers." Robin handedthe sunflowers.

"I hope that these flowers bring you joy and I pray that your life is bright and sunny from now on."

"Thank you, Robin.I do like sunflowers." I smiled at Robin in response.

"Honey, don't forget your flowers."

Seeing that I didn't take the roses, Jerpushed the bouquet I of red roses into my arms as he glanced at Robin coldly.

I felt a little awkward at first, but when I noticed the affectionate manner in which Jerlooked at me, I held both bouquets in my hands.

When I got out of the hospital, I was carrying two bouquets of flowers.

"Skylar, where are you going? I've booked the presidential suite at the hotel I'm staying in." Jerome caught up tobefore I could figure out what to do next.

"The food there is great and they have a wide selection of desserts.I'm sure you'll like it there."

"Skylar, would you like to go to my place?" Robin offered.

"I've cleaned up your room, so you can stay there if you want to."

I paused, not knowing what to say to Robin.

I didn't want to bother him, but I also didn't want to stay with Jerat the moment.

"Skylar doesn't need you to take care of her! She's my mate!"

Jerscreamed at Robin before he pickedup in his arms.

"Jerome, what are you doing?"

Embarrassed, I tried to push him away.

"Putdown!"

"Robin, thank you for looking after my mate, but I'm sorry to say that I'm leaving with her."

Jerheldtightly and glared at Robin with squinted eyes.

"Then, perhaps we'll see each other at another time."

Robin scratched his head, smiling to hide his embarrassment.

"Skylar, I'll visit you at the hotel. Goodbye!"

Meanwhile, Jergrinned like a child as he watched Robin walk away.

I slapped him on the arm for his childish behavior.

"Honey, let's go back to the hotel."

I pouted my lips crossly as Jerkissedon the cheek.

I felt a little light-headed when we arrived at the hotel.

Just as I was about to sit down, Jerhuggedfrom behind.

"Skylar, you have no idea how much I've missed you," Jerkissed my neck and whispered in my ear.

"I thought I was going to lose my mind."

Jerbegan to caress my waist and buttocks as he spoke.

Then he moved his hands to touch my chest and thighs.

With each touch, my body quivered and my lips trembled.

As we were very familiar with each other's body, he knew exactly where my sensitive spots were.

The first moan escaped my lips as I began to feel aroused.

"Has he ever touched you like this? Skylar, you are mine.I won't allow anyone to covet you," Jerome whispered, biting my ear.

"Why are you are so envious, Jerome?" I couldn't help but laugh.

"I have no feelings for Robin beyond friendship.We are just friends."

"That's good to know." Jercupped my breasts with both hands.

"I want you to cback with me, Skylar."

I had a feeling that Jerwas going to say that.

I didn't agree right away as I wasn't too eager to 7 return to the Rainbow Pack.

The thought of what Linda had done still gavechills.

Thinking of the past always madefeel sad, and I had to deal with it carefully.

"I need stto think about it.Jerome, the Rainbow Pack is a sad place for me.Although we discovered Linda's plots, I still can't forget what happened."

"I understand what you're saying.Skylar, I am willing to wait here for you until you're ready." Jerome kissedon the forehead after he spoke.

Jerome's POV:

After I took Skylar back to the hotel, I tried to persuade her to go back to the pack with me, but she refused.

I was willing to drop everything and stay here with her, but she wouldn't allowto do so.

"No, you can't do that, Jerome." Skylar looked atseriously with clear and bright eyes.

Her gaze intoxicatedas I could hardly extricate myself from it.

"You are the future Alpha.You can't leave your pack behind.You have a lot of responsibilities on your shoulders.You can't just stay here with me.You have to go back to deal with the pack's affairs."

"Don't worry about that, honey."

I ran my fingers over Skylar's soft skin.I found myself utterly bewitched by her.

"I have made sarrangements before coming here.Everything should be in order.Trust me." I said Skylar on the bed as I spoke.

Then, I leaned over and kissed her luscious lips.

I had spent many days longing for her scent and her touch.

Seeing Skylar again rekindled the passion inside my heart.

Skylar was my mate.

She was meant to be only mine.

I loved her more than anything else, including my own life.

I wanted to taste and feel every inch of her body.

"Skylar, you are the most beautiful woman in the world to me.I love you,"

I murmured before I kissed her again.

To my relief, Skylar didn't pushaway this time.

I found myself losing control as I kissed her harder.

I was surprised to see that she was responding as well.

Consumed by my desires, I wanted to spread her legs apart and enter her, but when I remembered the baby in her belly, I snapped myself out of my trance.

I didn't want to make an impulsive move as Skylar was pregnant with our child.

Having suppressed my urges, I slowly lay down, holding her in my arms.

"I almost forgot that you are pregnant with our child,"

I whispered, gently caressing her belly.I lowered my voice as I was afraid of frightening our child.

"I promise I'll make sure that he is the happiest child in the world.The three of us are going to spend the rest of our lives together."

Skylar's eyes shimmered when she looked atas though she was moved by my words.

"Yes, of course! Our baby will be the happiest child in the world." Skylar smiled agreeably.

"Honey, you look so beautiful when you smile."

I kissed her on the forehead.

"It must have been hard for you to spend so many days in the hospital.Would you like to go out for a walk?"

"Sure," Skylar agreed happily.

After all, she spent the past few days confined to her ward and she hadn't seen the outside world in a while.

I decided to take her shopping.

"Honey, you've lost a lot of weight."

While we were walking on the street, I felt sorry for her as I stroked her slender wrist.

"We can go shopping and then have a nice dinner? What do you say, Skylar?"

"Well, I don't really need anything, but perhaps we can buy something for our baby." Skylar smiled.

"have enough clothes."

"But Skylar"

"Jerome, I just want to buy things for our child. Please?"

Skylar playfully yanked my arm, acting like a spoiled child.

What else could I do? I had no choice but to take her where she wanted to go.

We ended up buying a lot of things for the baby.

Skylar assumed that the baby was going to be a girl, so she bought several dresses.

I followed her the whole tand carried her shopping bags for her.

In less than half an hour, both of my hands were carrying shopping bags.

However, I didn't mind because we were both having a good time.

I couldn't wait to take her to dinner.

Unfortunately, our happiness cto an unexpected end when we ran into Linda just outside the shop.

She looked absent-minded and her ragged clothes were barely hanging from her skinny framework.

"Have you seen my son, Andy?"

She kept stopping the people who were passing by.

I grabbed Skylar's hand and started walking in the other direction because I didn't want her to see Linda.

Unfortunately, it was already too late because Linda turned around and saw us.

The atmosphere froze for a moment as the three of us stood there staring at each other in awkward silence.
