Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 157

Skylar's POV: 

Finally, I came back to my hometown, Black Stone Pack.

Even though I had lived for more than a decade, I was far from happy.

I figured it was because I had gotten so used to having Jerome by my side that I could no longer stand living alone.

If that was the case, I believed that only time could solve that problem.

After arriving at the Black Stone Pack, I heard that Daniel had returned with Helen so I didn't want to come into contact with any of my acquaintances.

I could not let Daniel find me.

If he did, he would definitely tell Jerome, and my leaving would become meaningless.

My solitary lifestyle went okay at first.

I stayed at an old inn and only went out to buy cooking ingredients.

But as time went by, a problem cropped up.

Because I had only brought a few necessities with me when I left the Rainbow Pack, it was gradually becoming difficult for me to live comfortably in my hometown.

I tried to cut down on my expenses, but I didn't have much money left.

If things went on like this, I couldn't even make ends meet.

I pondered over my situation that night before going to sleep.

Finally, I decided to get a job.

Since I voluntarily left the Rainbow Pack, I needed to do whatever I could to look after myself.

I had relied too much on Jerome and my friend, Jennifer.

I needed to get stronger on my own.

The next morning, I went to a fast-food restaurant that served fried chicken.

I had seen their recruitment ad so I decided to apply for the job.

The fast-food restaurant was in a remote area so there were only a few werewolves nearby.

When I arrived, the restaurant was not even open yet.

I stood outside for a while and observed the surrounding area.

Although this place was a little far from the town center, it was peacefully quiet.

If I were to work here, Jerome would not be able to find me so easily.

Eventually, the owner of the restaurant, a middle-aged werewolf, arrived.

When he saw me, his eyes widened.

He looked like a predator who had just found his prey.

"Are you here for lunch? You'll have to wait until we open the store," the owner told me as he unlocked the door.

"I'm not here to eat.I'm here to apply for a job," I explained.

I don't know why the owner froze at my reply.

He then looked back at me with a strange expression.

"I see.You look good so you can start working here from today."

He smiled at me, but it made me shudder in disgust.

It was probably just my imagination but something about his smile made me feel dirty.

I convinced myself that I was just being paranoid.

"Come in and have a seat."

I followed the owner into the restaurant, and he turned on the light.I went to a table by the window and sat down.

"Would you like some coffee?" he asked me pleasantly.

However, his smile continued to creep me out.

"No, thank you."

The owner chose to message someone via text instead of responding to me.

My suspicion rose a little more.

Not long after, members of his staff entered the restaurant.

When they locked the glass door behind them, I knew that something was terribly wrong.

"What do you think you're doing?" I demanded.

The owner rubbed his hands as his eyes shone with perverted delight.

"Can't you figure it out? We want to fuck you, bitch."

He walked towards me with a greedy look.This fast-food restaurant must have posted the job ad to attract she-wolves like me.

How unlucky of me to get into this kind of situation! I wanted to escape, but the waiters were blocking my way.

I needed to find an exit.

I tried my best to fight them off, but I was outnumbered.

My strength slowly flagged.

The men held me still, and the owner started pulling my clothes off.

Why was this happening to me? I became desperate.

Was I going to get raped by these sleazy werewolves? No, I could not give up! Suddenly, a strange feeling grew from within my body.

My mind conjured a strong gust of wind that swept everyone away.

All the men got thrown back, and they crumpled to the floor.

I looked down at my hands.
