Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 266

Skylar's POV: 

Everyone gave me cold looks and mocking sneers, which made me feel extremely embarrassed.I didn't know what to do, so I ran away as fast as I could.I didn't even stop to look back when Jennifer and Jerome called me from behind.I kept running until I was far away from everyone and my legs were exhausted.I hid in a corner of the garden and squatted down on the grass, wrapping my arms around my knees.

Why did I have to be the one to go through so many difficulties? I wiped the tears from my face, but I couldn't stop crying.

"What should I do? Everyone hates me!"

I cried bitterly as I felt like a homeless she-wolf again, alienated and abandoned.

Everyone's impression of me had changed because they now saw me only as a vampire.

I was filled with sadness and hopelessness.

It was as if everyone and everything I held dear in my life had been taken away from me.I was no longer considered to be one of them.I was left with no choice but to leave because the werewolves would never let me live amongst them.

It was better to leave with dignity than being driven away.

Besides, I didn't want to bring any trouble to Jerome.

However, the thought of having to leave Jerome broke my heart.

After all, we were having a child together and now our baby was going to grow up without a father.

"What should I do?" I murmured.

"Skylar! Where are you? Skylar, I'm worried about you!"

Suddenly, Jerome called out to me.I knew Jerome would come looking for me.He would never abandon me.

Hearing his voice made me feel warm inside my heart, but I clenched my fists and told myself not to drag him down.I stood up in a hurry and tried to find a more secluded place to hide in, but I was so anxious that I stepped on one of the protruding stone bricks by accident and lost my balance.

"Ah!" I covered my mouth as soon as I screamed and I regretfully realized that I had done something stupid again.

"Skylar! There you are!" Jerome ran to me and pulled me into his arms.

"You had me so worried! Are you all right? Are you hurt? Why did you run away like that? Skylar, have you ever thought about what would happen to me if something bad were to happen to you?"

As Jerome spoke, he took my hand and looked at me up and down, making sure that I was all right.

"Jerome..."

The moment I saw the loving look in Jerome's eyes, my desire to run away vanished in an instant.

Yes! What was I thinking? While I was wallowing in my own sadness, I hadn't even thought about Jerome.

How could he carry on living without me? I felt ashamed for not having any faith in him after he told like a thousand times that he would never give up on me.

"I'm sorry! Jerome, I didn't know what to do.I don't want to leave you.I just..."

My words got stuck in my mouth as muffled sobs wracked against my chest.I threw myself into his arms without hesitation.I had a thousand words inside my heart, but I couldn't say anything at that moment.

"Honey, there's no need to apologize.I can understand your feelings." Jerome held me in his arms and gently stroked my hair.

"Don't cry.I will always be your safe haven."

"Jerome, I'm a coward.I don't know how I'm going to face the other werewolves.Everyone thinks I'm a spy!"

Despite Jerome's reassurance, I couldn't help but have mixed feelings.

"Skylar, there's nothing to worry about.We can leave everything behind and go wherever we want."

Jerome kissed me on the forehead and comforted me gently.

"What do you have in mind?" I asked after I finally stopped crying.

"Skylar, you are the most important person in my life.We'll tell the elders the truth after we go back to the Rainbow Pack.I'm going to relinquish my position as the Alpha and then start a new life in some other place where no one knows us," Jerome said with a yearning smile on his face.

"I don't care where we will be, but I know that we will be happy together.You don't have to live in fear anymore." I was deeply touched by Jerome's words.

He was willing to give up his position as the Alpha of his pack for me.I was beyond moved, but I couldn't let Jerome make such a big sacrifice.

He was an exemplary werewolf and an even better leader.

Besides, I always felt that Jerome had sacrificed too much for me.

"No, I can't let you give up the position of Alpha for my sake.Jerome, I beg you.If you do so, I won't be able to forgive myself."

I cried and shook my head

."Skylar, I need you to trust me and my love for you! Being an Alpha is not a symbol of power for me.It's more like a job or a responsibility that I don't really want.It's a job that can be done by someone else, perhaps by someone even better than me.All I want is to spend my life with you! You are the only person I will ever need in my life!" Jerome said affectionately.

Then, before I knew it, he leaned closer and kissed me to stop me from saying anything else.I closed my eyes and melted in his passionate kiss.

Jerome wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer.

He kissed me with increasing pressure, as though he hadn't kissed me in a long time.

"Jerome, then so be it.Let's leave together and start a new life.We will be together for the rest of our lives."
