Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 321

Jerome's POV: 

I had thought that as long as I took Skylar to a place where no one knew us, we could hide her secret forever.

Little did I know that we would be exposed not long after we moved to Rube Island.

Of course, I never expected that we would meet Thomas, a noble vampire.

Would Skylar's real identity be revealed? I looked at Thomas nervously, with every fiber of my being on high alert.I couldn't completely trust him.

Thomas had already seen the mark on Skylar's wrist, so I was at a loss.

Should I knock him out and then flee Rube Island with Skylar? Although Thomas had promised not to tell anyone about it, I couldn't simply trust someone I had just met, not to mention that he was a vampire.

However, judging from our experience with him so far, Thomas was very friendly and had said many times that he saw us as friends.

Moreover, he had saved Skylar's life.I didn't want to be hostile to him.

Caught between a rock and a hard place, I broke into a cold sweat.

"I swear I won't tell anyone your secret," Thomas reiterated, holding his hands up in the air.

"But Skylar, I really don't understand why you don't want others to know that you're a descendant of the royal family.The hexagram is a mark exclusive to the most noble of vampires.You should be proud of it!"

Skylar shrank behind me and desperately tugged on her sleeve to cover the accursed mark on her wrist.

"No, Thomas, you don't understand.This mark is the worst thing to have happened to me.I wish it never it existed! Thomas's frown deepened.

"Skylar, didn't you know? King Aldrich has lacked an heir for years.He has always been very worried about this.He is afraid that the bloodline of the royal family will end here.That is why I was so shocked to find someone with the hexagram mark out here.Skylar, if you go back and reveal your identity, the king is likely to pass the throne to you!"

"Wait, Thomas."

I held up my hand for him to stop.

"I want to ask you a question.How much do you know about the Dracula Clan? Skylar and I know nothing about vampires."

Hearing this, Thomas nodded patiently and began to explain.

"Aldrich has been leading the Dracula Clan the past few years, but he has neither brothers nor children.At present, for the Dracula Clan, the most important matter is to find an heir."

As Thomas explained, I stared at him nervously, feeling my heart beat faster and faster.

So, Skylar was the heir of the Dracula Clan? Oh, my God! In shock and disbelief, I asked, "Does the vampire king really have no heir?"

Thomas looked at me, then at Skylar.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up with excitement.

"Oh! They have one now! It's Skylar! An old story comes to mind...It is said that King Aldrich and a she-wolf had a daughter, but the royal family rejected the child of mixed blood, so the king had no choice but to send the baby girl away as soon as she was born.We haven't heard anything about what happened to the baby after that.But I think he regrets his decision.After all, he ends up with no heir."

As Thomas spoke, his eyes, which were on Skylar, grew wider and wider.

"Skylar, oh, my God! Could you be that mixed-blood baby?!"

Skylar's POV: 

The more Thomas explained, the more complicated my feelings grew.

After so many years, now I finally knew who I truly was.

No wonder my parents abandoned me.No wonder I carried the characteristics of werewolves and the special power of vampires.

All my previous speculations had been put to rest.It turned out that I was really the child of a she-wolf and a vampire.

"Skylar, please don't be scared.I don't hate werewolves.I really don't mean you any harm!"
