Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 80

Dylan’s POV: 

This morning, Anthony sent me a message, asking me to follow Jennifer back to the Rainbow Pack so that I could secretly protect her.

I heard what happened to Jennifer at the banquet.

Someone said it had been foretold that she was a jinx.

And the royal family was using this as an excuse to make things difficult for her.

This was a heavy blow for her.

Even without Anthony's order, as her brother, I had to protect my sister.

How could she be a jinx? I agreed with Anthony.

The rumor was ridiculous.

Anyway, since Jennifer decided to go back to the pack, I would definitely go with her.

I couldn't let her face it all alone.

After all, we used to live in that pack as a family.

Perhaps visiting the place would jog my memory a little.

In fact, until meeting Jennifer again, I hadn't been curious about my lost memories at all.

But after hearing from her that I once had a happy family and loving parents, I couldn't help but wonder what my past had been like.

I replied to Anthony's message, telling him that I would protect Jennifer and find out the truth together with her.

Then, I kept my phone aside and packed up some necessities.

I knew that on our journey back to the pack, Jennifer and I might face all kinds of dangers, so I packed some medicine, as well as electronic equipment that I usually used.

Once I was done packing, a face suddenly appeared in my mind.

It was Skylar.

These days, I was thinking of her more and more frequently.

I thought it was necessary to tell her about my trip.

After all, she was my mate.

I didn't want to hide anything from her.

Therefore, I went to Skylar’s dormitory and waited for her at the door.

Since she had training that day, it was a long time before she returned.

As soon as she saw me, she skipped over happily.

"Dylan, did you miss me so much that you came here to see me?" she asked excitedly, throwing her arms around me.

I gripped her waist and gently moved her aside before pointing my chin at the door, indicating for her to open it.

Skylar opened the door and eagerly welcomed me in.

I knew it was inappropriate for me to enter a she-wolf's room in the middle of the night, but I couldn't risk letting anyone else hear what I was about to tell Skylar.

Her room was the only place we could talk in private.

Time was limited.

I had to get straight to the point and explain why I was here to Skylar.

"Skylar, I have to leave this place for a while."

Skylar's face, which had been so cheerful until now, turned gloomy.

"Why?"

"I'm going back to the Rainbow Pack with Jennifer.That's where we grew up.We have to find out the truth about our father's death and prove that Jennifer is not a jinx."

Since Skylar was my mate, I wanted her to know these important details about me.

But after saying those words, I felt a little reluctant to leave.

Before I could figure out why I was feeling this way, Skylar reached out and clasped my hands.

"Dylan, take me with you." She leaned in and blew on my ear like a temptress.

I knew that she wanted me to love her and make love with her, and that she wanted to be my real mate.

But I pushed her away and said, "Skylar, just stay here and take good care of yourself."

I didn't even know what kind of danger Jennifer and I would encounter on the way.I couldn't drag Skylar along with us.

But Skylar's face fell when she heard my words.

"Dylan, I know why you don't want to bring me with you.You don't want to come back here, right?"

I felt a headache coming on.

The truth was, I didn't want to leave Skylar's room, let alone leave her alone on Marge Island.

However, it wouldn't be safe to take her along with me.How could I protect her in the face of unknown dangers? 

"Skylar, I'm going to finish an important task.There's no telling what danger I'll face.I won't be able to protect you.Be good and stay here, okay?"
