Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 267

Daniel's POV: 

I couldn't help but feel guilty for Skylar.

After all, she only used her special power to save my life.

Truth be told, I was shocked at first when I found out that she had the special power and that she might carry the bloodline of a vampire.

But on second thought, I realized I had known Skylar for a long time.

She was a kind-hearted she-wolf.

There was no way she was a vampire spy.

Then, I found out that Anthony and Jennifer had known for a long time that Skylar had her special power.They were even trying to cover it up for her.

Despite this, I figured they had their reasons.I knew from the bottom of my heart that Skylar wouldn't hurt a fly.

She was kind, compassionate, and gentle.

Now that Jerome and Skylar were being forced to leave the werewolves' territory, I felt bad.

If Skylar hadn't revealed her special power to save me, she and Jerome wouldn't have been in this situation in the first place.I felt incredibly sorry for Skylar.

She could become a beloved Luna, after all.

Moreover, who knew when we would see them again after they left? It was all just so depressing.

"Jerome, take Skylar back to the hotel and get some rest," Jennifer suggested.

"So many things have happened.I'm sure she's exhausted and overwhelmed.We need to think about her baby."

"She can go back to the hotel, but we have to keep a close eye on her.Mr.Jones, please send more guards to watch over her and don't let her act so freely," an elder said to Anthony.

"It's not that I want to make things difficult for Skylar, but the mere fact that she might be a vampire is a huge threat in itself.None of us can rest easy unless she's kept under close watch."

"I understand." Anthony had no choice but to agree, given the circumstances.

"Come on, honey.Let's go.Don't worry.Everything's going to be fine," Jerome said to Skylar softly, and they were about to leave.

"Wait!" Helen rushed forward and threw her arms around Skylar.

"Don't be afraid.We all believe in you."

"She's right. You'll always be our friend,"

I chimed in.

"Thank you, everyone."

Skylar smiled at us, tears welling up in her eyes.

"I'll never forget you."

After that, Skylar and Jerome left, escorted by Anthony's attendants.

Helen and I watched them leave, hand in hand.

"Has the problem been solved?"

Just then, my mother arrived.She looked at everyone expectantly.

"The hall's been cleaned already, and I've asked the staff to prepare some delicious food for us.Let's have dinner."

However, her enthusiasm was met with silence.

The elders and Anthony all shook their heads, which I understood.So much had happened, it was only natural no one was in the mood to eat anymore.

"Oh, I see.Thank you for attending Marlon's funeral.I'm sorry.It seems Daniel and I didn't entertain you well."

My mother apologize.

"It's not your fault, Luna Betty.What happened today was outside everyone's control.Such being the case, we'll go back now.Mr.Jones, Ms.Smith, please excuse us."

The elders bowed towards us respectfully, then left one by one.

"Mr.Jones, Jennifer, are you guys free? Let's retire in the living room.There's something I wanted to talk to you two about."

When they were gone, I turned to Anthony and smiled slightly.

"I'll leave you to it."

My mother seemed to understand I wanted some privacy, and she smiled at me knowingly.

"There are some things I need to deal with, so I'll go now.Daniel, be a good host."
