Outcast: The Alpha King’s Beloved

Skylar’s POV:

After Anthony stepped forward in our defense, the elders finally compromised and agreed to let Jerome abdicate.

“Thank you, Jennifer.Thank you for supporting us.”

I hugged Jennifer and expressed my gratitude as tears of relief welled up in my eyes.

“I don’t know what I would do without you…”

“There’s no need to thank me.I know that you would have done the same for me.Now that everything is settled,

you and Jerome are free to go wherever you want.”

Jennifer held me in her arms and comforted me with a smile.

“Skylar, sit down and finish your lunch.Don’t forget that you’re now eating for two people.”

I nodded and sat down next to Jennifer and Jerome.

We had been so wrapped up in our discussion with the elders that we almost forgot about the food on the dining

table.

There was still some tension in the air and so I avoided making eye contact with the elders.

“Jerome is so ungrateful! How could he abandon everything for the sake of love?”

“Yes.It’s such a shame he isn’t willing to set his personal interests aside for the Rainbow Pack.”

I could still hear some of the elders bemoaning Jerome.

They weren’t even trying to hide it from me.

It was almost as if they wanted me to hear them.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t deprive them of the satisfaction of getting a reaction from me because I was infuriated.

Nonetheless, I had to admit that they were right.

It was because of me that things had ended up like this.

Did I do something wrong? Was I being selfish by letting Jerome ruin his future for me? As if he had read my mind,

Jerome took my hand gently and said, “Don’t listen to their nonsense.Skylar.You can’t make everyone happy.We just

need to worry about our life.”

“Jerome…”

I held back my tears as I didn’t want to be embarrassed in front of the elders.

I squeezed his hand tightly and whispered, “What if I’m wrong to insist on being with you.What if I’m wrong and I

end up harming you?”

There were several elders eyeing us sourly, but Jerome paid no heed to them and pulled me in his arms.

“What are you thinking about now, silly girl? We love each other and that’s all that matters.Don’t be afraid.Life will

bring many ups and downs, but we will tackle them together.”

Jerome’s words took me on a trip down memory lane.

We had once been separated because of Linda, but later we ended up together again.

Jerome was right.

We had gone through so many ups and downs and there would be more in the future, but nothing would stop us

from loving each other.

I nodded.

Ignoring the resentful eyes around us, I tilted my head up proudly to say, “You’re right, honey.We will be fine no

matter what happens.”

“Elders, please help yourself to whatever you like,”

Anthony suddenly said without raising his head.

Finally, the elders finally grumbling.

Everyone ate quietly and there was peaceful silence again.

After the meal, Tony suggested, “Miss Smith, why don’t we set the date for your official inauguration as the new

Alpha.In the meantime, we’ll need a few days to prepare.”

“I will abdicate immediately.” Jerome smiled at everyone.

Jennifer nodded and said, “Then let’s set the ceremony for the day after tomorrow.We can inform the werewolves

of the whole pack and hand over the pack affairs tomorrow.”

“We will all follow your arrangements.”

The elders nodded in agreement.

Even Jacob, who had been dissatisfied with Jennifer, didn’t say anything more.

At long last, I heaved a deep sigh of relief.

After the elders left, Jerome and I decided to go back to our room and get some rest.

The discussion had left us exhausted and we needed to unwind.

“We’ll be heading back too, Skylar.Get some rest and don’t worry about anything else.”

Jennifer came to me and hugged me.

“Everything will be fine.Remember to pack up everything you need before leaving the Rainbow Pack.Let us know if

you need anything.Take care of yourself and the baby.”

I was so touched that I hugged Jennifer back.

“I will.Thank you, Jennifer.”

Anthony smiled at me and Jerome.

“If you need anything, just let us know at any time.We’re more than just friends now.We’re family.”

“Thank you very much.I’m afraid that as soon as Jerome and I leave, Jennifer will have to shoulder a lot of

responsibilities.Jennifer, I’m sorry and I wish I don’t have to leave you, but…”

I was so sad that I was reluctant to let go of Jennifer.

“Our separation will only be temporary.In the meantime, you can focus on the arrival of the baby.We will see each

other again soon.”

Jennifer patted me on the shoulder and smiled.

I nodded, finally coming to terms with the situation.I told myself that I had to be stronger, if not for me, then at

least for Jerome and our unborn child’s sake.

Jerome’s POV:

It was nice to see Skylar hugging my sister.If it weren’t for fate, Skylar and I wouldn’t have had to leave the Rainbow

Pack.

However, for Skylar and the future of our baby, we had no choice.I was angry at myself for being such an

incompetent husband.

Here I was about to embark on a journey with no final destination with my pregnant wife.

What was I thinking? I couldn’t help but worry about her.

“Jerome, where are you going to settle down next?” Jennifer looked at me curiously.

In truth, I had already considered this question before.

I had been secretly studying the surrounding areas outside the werewolves’ territory.

“I found Rube Island after some research.It looks like a quiet place with very little cause for disputes.I’ve heard that

people sometimes go there on vacation.I don’t know much about the public security on the island, but I’m going to

take Skylar there to see if she likes it.Rube Island doesn’t belong to werewolves.If there’s no sign of danger, we can

settle down there.”

“I’ve heard of that island too.People have been calling that place a slice of paradise on earth.It sounds amazing.”

Jennifer’s eyes lit up.

“Jerome, you should always look after Skylar.If the weather is good, you should take her out more.It’s not good for

her health to stay indoors all the time.”

Jennifer’s detailed instructions came from a place of love for me and Skylar.

I nodded with a smile and said, “Okay, I will.Thank you, my dear sister.You and Mr.Jones can go back now.Don’t

forget that you are also pregnant with a baby.”

“See you tomorrow.”

Jennifer held Anthony’s hand and waved at us.I took Skylar’s hand.

“Let’s go back, honey.”

After Skylar and I went back to our room, she rested her hands on her waist and walked to the bathroom.

“I want to take a bath, honey.”

I quickly walked over to hold her hand and said, “Of course.Let me help you, honey.You should be more careful

from now.What if you slip or fall down? We wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to you or the baby.”

“Sure, if you say so.”

Skylar giggled, reaching out to unbutton my shirt.

“Today was an important day for us, wasn’t it? Jerome, don’t you think we should do something to celebrate it?”

“Of course, what do you have in mind?”

I whispered in Skylar’s ear intimately.

“I love you, honey.”

We were going to leave Rainbow Pack soon.

A place that held a special place in our hearts because we shared some of our best memories here.

The thought of us leaving made me feel both excited and nervous at the same time.

Thinking back to our past, I pulled Skylar’s face closer and kissed her with so much passion that I hoped it would

help her to remember this wonderful moment in our life.

I carried Skylar to the bed and took her clothes off.

Then I kissed her from her toes upward, slowly, as my hands spread her legs open.

I felt her back arch in anticipation, knowing where my penis was going.

My head rocked back against the pillow as she did, and the first moan escaped her lips.

“God, I feel so good…”

I smiled with satisfaction.

Skylar was the only woman in the world who could make me feel like this.

I loved her.

No matter where we were, our feelings for each other would never change
