Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 268

Jerome's POV: 

Seeing Skylar like this broke my heart.She was such a kind girl—-why did God have to make her suffer so much? "Skylar, don't be sad.Just think about our baby."

Heartbroken, I hugged her tightly and tried to comfort her.

"I swear to Moon Goddess that I will protect you.Skylar, it doesn't matter to me if you're a werewolf or a vampire; I'll never leave you.You're my mate.No one can separate us.I love you."

"Oh, Jerome..."

Tears welled up in Skylar's eyes.She threw herself into my arms and hugged me tightly.

"You two are so sweet!"

Seeing how I treated Skylar, Helen burst into tears.

"Don't worry, Skylar.Jerome will always be there for you."

"She's right, Skylar.You have to trust Jerome,"

Jennifer chimed in, patting Skylar on the shoulder.

"Oh, also, I've asked Anthony to check out the totems of the major vampire clans.Maybe we'll find out where you came from soon."

Gradually, Skylar calmed down.I wiped away her tears gently.

"Jennifer, the truth is, I'm torn.I want to know where I came from, but I'm scared to find out if I'm really a descendant of vampires.I don't know what to do."

Skylar sighed and held out her wrist with the hexagram mark.

"How I wish this was all just a dream!"

Daniel's and Helen's eyes widened when they saw the mark on Skylar's wrist.

They were kept in the dark with regards to Skylar's special power, so this was the first time they had seen the hexagram mark.

"Wait a second! Skylar, I think I've seen that mark somewhere before,"

Daniel suddenly said, staring hard at Skylar's wrist.

"What? Are you serious, Daniel? Where did you see it?"

I was so excited that I looked at Daniel expectantly, hoping that some light would be shed on the situation.

"Let me think..."

Daniel scratched his chin, deep in thought.

Suddenly, he snapped his fingers excitedly.

"I once fought with a vampire.If my memory serves me right, that vampire came from the Dracula Clan.It is said that every vampire from their clan has that very same hexagram mark!"

‘'The Dracula Clan?’' I had a bad feeling about this.

"Daniel, are you sure about this?" Anthony asked suddenly, his voice tense.

He looked at Daniel seriously.

"The vampire king is a Dracula.Those who share his last name are all members of the royal family."

"The royal family of the vampires?"

All the color drained from Skylar's face and I felt her hand in mine go stiff.

"It's okay, Skylar.Don't worry."

I patted her on the back softly to comfort her.

"This hexagram is the Dracula Clan's mark.I've seen it before."

Daniel nodded, gesturing at Skylar's wrist.

"Coincidentally, my men have just collected the totems of the well-known vampire clans."

Anthony was staring at his phone screen as he spoke.

Then, he showed it to everyone.

"Look, this is the representative totem of the Dracula Clan.Does it look like the hexagram on Skylar's wrist?"

Hearing this, I immediately raised Skylar's wrist and carefully compared the mark on her skin with the picture on the phone screen.

Suddenly, I gasped in shock.

They were really alike—no, they were exactly the same! 

"Oh, my God!" Skylar exclaimed.

"How could this be possible?"

Everyone was shocked.

Did Skylar actually have something to do with the royal family? 

"This can't be real! I can't believe I'm related to the royal family! I'm doomed.Will the royal family let me live freely? Or will they come to me? Will they drag me back to vampires' territory?"

Skylar covered her mouth with her hand, trembling in fear.

"Honey, calm down.I won't let it happen," I said soothingly, pulling her into my arms.

"Jerome, I'm so scared.I don't want to know about my parents anymore.Let's just leave it, okay? Plus, everyone knows about my special power now.I can't stay on the werewolves' territory anymore.Let's leave this place."

Skylar hugged me sadly, burying her head in my arms.

"But Skylar, this could all just be a huge misunderstanding," Helen said hurriedly, looked at her friend with concern.

"Let Mr.Jones and Jennifer investigate further.It's better than knowing nothing."

"No! I don't want to investigate anymore. I don't want to know! I don't want to have anything to do with the royal family.I just want to be an ordinary she-wolf and live a peaceful life with Jerome!"
