Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 265: Skylar's Special Power Exposed 

Skylar's POV:

Out of the blue, Devin burst into the hall with a gun in his hand.

Oh, my God! What the hell was going on? Before I could even react, Jerimmediately pulled me aside.

"We need to get out of here, Skylar!" Jershouted anxiously.

"Jennifer!"

Anthony also held Jennifer in his arms protectively.What with Devin's sudden appearance, we were all caught off guard.Sharp gunshots exploded in my ears.I was at a complete loss, seeing Devin shoot indiscriminately.

"Helen!"

At this moment, Daniel pushed Helen aside but was then completely exposed.Devin raised the gun and aimed at him.No, I couldn't let Daniel die.I was so anxious that I couldn't think straight.

All I knew was that I needed to save Daniel.

By sheer instinct, I raised the arm with the hexagram mark towards Daniel, inadvertently activating my special power of teleportation.

I appeared in front of Daniel in the twinkling of an eye.

There was nothing else on my mind.

Through gritted teeth, I grabbed Daniel's arm and teleported away to avoid Devin's attack.

A split second later, we appeared on the other side of the hall.

Devin's bullet hit the chair Daniel was sitting on, and the wood shattered to pieces.

"Catch him! Catch him before he hurts anyone!"

More guards streamed in and rushed at Devin.

"Damn it!"

Seeing that he wasn't able to shoot Daniel, Devin grew furious.

He started shoot at anyone and everyone until he ran out of ammunition.

Just as he was reloading, Anthony and Jennifer took this as an opportunity to pounce on him.

"Surrender, Devin!"

Anthony shouted angrily, throwing Devin on the floor and kicking the gun away.

Since Anthony and Jennifer were powerful, it was easy for them to take Devin down.

It didn't take long before Devin was subdued.

"Surrender, Devin," Jennifer echoed, pinning Devin's hands behind his back.

"Skylar, thank you for saving me.I could've been shot," Daniel said toas I was still shocked from what just happened.

"Take Devin away and have more men watch him.If he escapes again, I will not spare you so easily." Anthony looked at the guards sternly.

The guards nodded and bowed their heads in shame, hurrying to take Devin away.Only when Devin was gone did I realize that I had used my special power.Panicked, I prayed in my heart that no one had noticed.I felt my heart beating fast in my chest.

"She's a vampire! I saw her use her special power!"

A guard pointed ataccusingly.I felt my whole body tremble.

"I saw it, too! She teleported to move Daniel away!" A maid also pointed atwith a terrified expression.

"Is she a vampire? She snuck into a werewolf pack to make trouble! Oh, my God! My father was killed by a vampire!"

"No, I...l''m not a vampire.I would never hurt anyone..."

Stunned, I took a step back.All eyes were on me.

"No, I can assure all of you that Skylar is not a vampire." Jennifer suddenly spoke up, standing in betweenand the crowd.

"Jennifer is right.Otherwise, why would Skylar have rescued Daniel?" Anthony cto my side as well.

"Yes, it's not what you think it is." Jeralso defended me.

"Skylar just wanted to save Daniel!"

"Vampire? Are you kidding me?" Daniel asked incredulously, speaking on my behalf.

I looked aroundat my friends who were so willing to support me.

Tears welled up in my eyes.

But the truth of the matter remained: I had exposed my special power.What was I supposed to do?

Jerome's POV:

I gritted my teeth anxiously.I didn't expect this to happen so soon.

Skylar's special power was exposed, and as expected, nobody was happy about it.

I had planned to go back to the Rainbow Pack and turn over the affairs of the pack to Jennifer as soon as possible so that I could take Skylar far away.

Unexpectedly, Skylar used her power before I could do so.

Because Anthony and Jennifer stood in front of us, the guards in the hall didn't dare to hurt Skylar.

However, everyone still looked at Skylar with doubt and disdain.

If things were different and Anthony wasn't here, they would've definitely attacked Skylar by now.

"Everyone, be quiet!" Anthony said sharply.

Under the prince's command, the hall fell quiet.

"Jerome, I knew I would screw up!" Skylar threw herself into my arms.

"I didn't want to.I just wanted to save Daniel.I'm so sorry, Jerome!"

Of course I knew that.If I were in her shoes, I would've done the same.

"Don't worry, Skylar."

I tried to comfort Skylar, stroking her hair gently.

"You did a good job.You didn't do anything wrong."

As I spoke, I glared at the werewolves who had spoken out against Skylar.

"Everyone, letexplain.Skylar is definitely not a spy, " I announced loudly.

"I'm Alpha Jerof the Rainbow Pack.I swear that her special power was discovered only recently.And Mr.Jones already knows about it.To be honest, we suspect she carries svampire bloodline, but Skylar knows nothing about her origin.She also has never thought of hurting others.She's innocent."

"Alpha Jerome, with all due respect, I don't trust her.Vampires are all cunning and scheming.She must've deceived you!" a guard voiced his thoughts gloomily.

"He's right.The werewolf packs don't coexist with aliens for a reason," someone echoed.

"Everyone, calm down!"

Seeing that the guards were so agitated, Daniel stood out and spoke for Skylar.

"I've known Skylar for a long time, and many elders of the Black Stone Pack can vouch for her.They've watched her grow up.Everyone knows that she's a kindhearted girl."

"Maybe she's been pretending all this time!"

"We can't trust vampires!"

"She's probably been deceiving us so that the rest of her vampire kin could sneak in and kill us all!"

No matter what we said, the crowd was unconvinced.

Their words were getting more and more unpleasant to hear.I winced, knowing Skylar wouldn't be able to bear it.

"Honey, don't listen to them, okay? It's utter nonsense." I looked at Skylar, worry written all over my face.

"No, Jerome.They're right.This is all my fault.I can't show myself to the public ever again.I'll leave the werewolves' territory immediately and won't cause you any more trouble." Skylar cried bitterly.

Suddenly, she broke away from my arms and sprinted towards the exit.

"Skylar!" Jennifer turned pale with fright and hurriedly called after her friend.

"Don't be rash, Skylar!"

I hurried after her, trying to catch up to her.

What a stupid girl! Who knew what sort of dangers awaited her outside? She was the target of public criticism, not to mention she was pregnant with our child.I couldn't let anything bad happen to her.

‘'Skylar!'’ I called her nwith all my heart, running as fast as I could.
