Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 183

Skylar's POV: 

There was a lot I had to discuss with Jennifer now that we had been reunited.

"I'm sorry to disturb you, Mr.Jones.I was hoping that Jennifer could sleep with me in my room tonight."

I felt a little embarrassed because it was Anthony who answered when I knocked on the door to Jennifer's room, but I managed to give him a polite smile.

"No problem.Please come in."

Anthony stepped aside so that I could pass.

I grabbed Jennifer and dragged her to my room.

"Tonight is just for us girls," I told Jennifer.

We settled into my bed and grinned at each other.

"You know what, Jennifer? I experienced a lot of things while I tried to make it on my own."

I then told Jennifer about what had happened to me during this time.

I told her about my good friend, Robin, and how I helped Jerome and Linda bury Andy.

"To be honest, I don't hate Linda.I'm happy that she was willing to change," I sighed.

Jennifer held my hand comfortingly.

"Congratulations on your pregnancy, Skylar." Jennifer smiled wider.

"I can't wait to meet your baby."

Even though she was smiling at me, I heard a tinge of bitterness in her tone.

I knew that my friend was genuinely happy for me so I figured that she was just worried about something else.

"You look a little bothered, Jennifer.What's wrong?" I asked cautiously.

"Does it have anything to do with Anthony?"

"Anthony is afflicted with the Love Curse," Jennifer replied after a moment of silence.

"Do you have any idea how terrifying the Love Curse is? You probably don't.People who have been cursed with this will be in extreme pain if they feel even the slightest bit of passion for their significant others.They could even die from it.We suspect that it was the grand wizard Larry who cast this curse.We've consulted with several wizards, but none of them could undo the curse."

Jennifer's gaze became gloomy as she spoke.

During lunch, I heard Anthony mention that he was cursed, but I had not expected the curse to be so horrible.

I hugged Jennifer despite my shock.

"Once the Love Curse is activated, Anthony would be in an awful lot of pain.Seeing him in that state, I would rather that he forgets me instead,"

Jennifer admitted to me as she closed her eyes.

"Don't say that, Jennifer.Where there's a will, there’s a way."

Compared to this tragedy that Jennifer and Anthony were facing, my own rollercoaster of experiences with Jerome felt like nothing.

"Anthony is powerful.With his own strength and the resources at his disposal, we will find a way to undo the curse."

Jennifer managed to smile back at me as I tried my best to comfort her.

"Let's not talk about this anymore.I don't want to make you sad too.Let's talk about something more pleasant."

Jennifer's POV: 

I didn't want to share my pain with Skylar because she was pregnant so I changed the topic.

"We haven't talked in so long, Jennifer.It feels so good to hang out with you again." Skylar was a considerate girl.

She playfully pinched my cheeks in an effort to make me happy.

"By the way, Jennifer, there's something else I've been wanting to tell you."

Skylar knocked on her head as if it could jostle her brain into recalling the memory that she wanted to talk about.

"After I left, I ended up in the Black Stone Pack.I wanted to find a job so I applied for a job at a fast-food restaurant, but I nearly got raped instead of getting hired.However, at the critical moment, a strange force suddenly burst out from within me.I was able to knock my assailants with a gust of wind, but I don't know how I did it."

"A gust of wind?" I was surprised to hear about this incident from Skylar.

"Yes, it was as if I could control the wind.Have you heard of anything like it, Jennifer?"

Skylar looked at me in a mixture of hope and confusion.

Being able to produce winds strong enough to knock down werewolves sounded like some special power.

I heard of the ability to control the wind, but that ability was restricted to vampires.

"Have you told anyone else about this? You should keep this to yourself, Skylar," I sat up on the bed and told her with a serious expression.

"All right, all right.I'll do as you say, Jennifer."

Skylar sat up as well and nodded.

"Have you been able to control the wind since then?"

"No.I tried after that, but I haven't been able to repeat what happened that time." Skylar shook her head.
