Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 166

Linda's POV: 

I had not expected Jerome to banish me and Andy from Rainbow Pack.

Because of his heartless order, we could not enter their territory for the rest of our lives.

I had no choice but to wander around with Andy in tow.

We went to Red Sun Pack first.

But when the Alpha there heard that we had been banished by the Rainbow Pack's Alpha, Jerome, and Prince Anthony, he had the nerve to turn me and Andy away.

We tried going to Lavender Pack next.

I had hopes of taking my place once more as Alpha Bard's mistress Andy was his child after all.

However, he kicked us out as well, claiming that he did not want Jerome's trash.

In the end, Andy and I ended up becoming beggars in Blue Rose Pack.

Fortunately, the werewolves here were kind so we were at least able to keep ourselves from starving to death.

I had not expected to cross paths with Skylar in this damned place.

How unlucky of me! I was kind of hoping that she would be living miserably after leaving Jerome, but the reality was different from my expectations.

She seemed to be living well, and she didn't look as dejected as I had thought.

On the contrary, Andy and I were in an awful situation.

"Linda, Andy, why are you here?"

Skylar looked shocked to see us.

I lowered my gaze because I didn't want her to see me like this.

I frowned when she continued to question us.Did she want to make fun of our situation that badly? 

"You're Linda and Andy, aren't you? Are my eyes deceiving me?"

"Yes, it's me, Linda.Long time no see, Skylar!"

I lifted my chin stubbornly and met Skylar's gaze.

I was willing to admit when I had lost as long as the other person was not Skylar.

I never wanted to lose to her.

"Why are you two here? What happened?"

Skylar crouched down, keeping her gaze on me and Andy.

We were in this miserable situation because of her.

Why did this bitch look sympathetic? How ridiculous! Jerome probably did not know that Skylar was here in Blue Rose Pack.

This was a great opportunity to pay him back for the pain that he had inflicted upon me.

"Skylar, I didn't expect to see you here.This is great.I thought Andy and I would be begging for the rest of our lives.Please help us."

"What on earth happened to you?"

"We got kidnapped during an outing.I assumed that our kidnappers wanted to sell us off, but when I overheard them talking, I learned that they were actually Jerome's enemies.They kidnapped us in hopes of using us to threaten Jerome.I didn't want that to happen so I took a risk and managed to escape with Andy.We have been wandering at Blue Rose Pack ever since."

"Jerome has been working undercover for Mr.Jones all these years.Who would want to hurt him?" Skylar asked.

"They are probably Arthur's men.Or they could have also been Jerome's political rivals.Either way, they kidnapped us, hoping to prevent Jerome from becoming Alpha.I did not want Jerome to deal with that so I found a way to escape.Andy and I have resorted to begging just to stay alive.What I had not expected was that Jerome did not come looking for us."

"Jerome isn't that kind of man.Why didn't you call him? Maybe he doesn't know that you are in Blue Rose Pack."

"It's too late! I am ashamed to show my face to Jerome because I've been raped by other beggars."

I forced myself to shed some tears as I wove an extraordinary yet miserable tale to invoke Skylar's sympathy.

"Don't cry, Mom.I will protect you."

Andy hugged me, but he started crying as well.

"Get up.I'll help you!" Skylar sighed.

What a softhearted girl! This was the opening that I was waiting for.

"Thank you, Skylar.That's very kind of you."

I helped Andy to his feet and thanked Skylar once more.
