Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 320

Thomas' POV: 

I looked into Skylar's enthusiastic eyes and felt flustered.

"I hope it's not inconvenient if I stay for dinner."

After all, Skylar was pregnant.I didn't want her to tire herself out, and Jerome should prioritize her health.

"It's no big deal," Skylar replied with a sincere smile.

"You saved me, and we're friends.It's not like you visit our home every day.We want to be gracious hosts."

I smiled back at her.

"Thank you, both of you.You're too kind.I'm honored to be friends with you."

"I'm glad we're friends, too!" Skylar said, sitting down next to me.

Then, she reached for the remote and turned on the TV.

"Let's watch TV while waiting."

As soon as we got settled, Jerome came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of neatly sliced fruit.

"I couldn't help but overhear what you two were talking about, and Skylar is right.You saved her life, so it's only right that we treat you well.Thomas, help yourself to some fruit.Try some fresh star fruit I just bought yesterday."

I quickly nodded to him in thanks and took the plate of fruit from him.

"Thanks.I don't want to bother you, so please sit with us."

Jerome obliged and sat next to Skylar.

Just then, a news broadcast flashed on the TV.

The scene immediately drew my attention.

"Recently, the conflict between werewolves and vampires has been on the rise.The werewolves claimed that they have no intention of compromising with the vampires in terms of territory.They even said that if they can't reach an agreement with the vampires, a new wave of anti-vampire school of thought will be born among the werewolves."

Hearing this, I sighed heavily.It seemed that the situation was only growing more and more tense.

The war between werewolves and vampires would inevitably take place again.

"Hey, Thomas, have you heard about this before?" Skylar suddenly asked.

"I heard from a friend that the borders of several werewolf packs have been attacked by vampires recently."

I couldn't help but look at Skylar in surprise.I didn't expect her to ask me this question.

After thinking it over for a while, I decided to tell her the truth.

"Oh, I've heard some news.The Gangrel Clan wants to attack the werewolf packs, too.I strongly oppose the war, but I can't change their opinion.After they decided to start the fight, I refused to participate, which is why I'm staying on Rube Island for now."

Skylar tilted her head in confusion.

"Thomas, you're a vampire.Don't you hate the werewolves? How come you oppose the war?"

It wasn't the first time I had heard such a question, so I knew how to respond.

"It's simple, really.I like peace and hate war.I always hope that the conflict between the two races can be resolved and that we can all live in peace.Life is created equal, so no one should sacrifice theirs in the name of a war."

Unexpectedly, as soon as I finished talking, Skylar's eyes lit up with excitement.

"Oh, my God! You're so right, Thomas! I also hate war.Why can't we all just coexist in peace?"

I was stunned.I didn't expect that Skylar shared the same sentiments as me.

Ever since I made my anti-war stance known, everyone in my clan viewed me as a freak.

The other vampires all thought that only an incompetent person would be against war.I felt a rush of excitement, having finally found a fellow vampire who held the same beliefs as me.

"Exactly, Skylar! I didn't think you'd feel the same way.I'm so glad to have finally met someone who thinks the same way!"

Skylar beamed at me, pouring a cup of coffee and handing it to me.
