Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Skylar's POV: 

There was a lot I had to discuss with Jennifer now that we had been reunited.

"I'm sorry to disturb you, Mr.Jones.I was hoping that Jennifer could sleep with me in my room tonight."

I felt a little embarrassed because it was Anthony who answered when I knocked on the door to Jennifer's room, but I managed to give him a polite smile.

"No problem.Please come in."

Anthony stepped aside so that I could pass.

I grabbed Jennifer and dragged her to my room.

"Tonight is just for us girls," I told Jennifer.

We settled into my bed and grinned at each other.

"You know what, Jennifer? I experienced a lot of things while I tried to make it on my own."

I then told Jennifer about what had happened to me during this time.

I told her about my good friend, Robin, and how I helped Jerome and Linda bury Andy.

"To be honest, I don't hate Linda.I'm happy that she was willing to change," I sighed.

Jennifer held my hand comfortingly.

"Congratulations on your pregnancy, Skylar." Jennifer smiled wider.

"I can't wait to meet your baby."

Even though she was smiling at me, I heard a tinge of bitterness in her tone.

I knew that my friend was genuinely happy for me so I figured that she was just worried about something else.

"You look a little bothered, Jennifer.What's wrong?" I asked cautiously.

"Does it have anything to do with Anthony?"

"Anthony is afflicted with the Love Curse," Jennifer replied after a moment of silence.

"Do you have any idea how terrifying the Love Curse is? You probably don't.People who have been cursed with this will be in extreme pain if they feel even the slightest bit of passion for their significant others.They could even die from it.We suspect that it was the grand wizard Larry who cast this curse.We've consulted with several wizards, but none of them could undo the curse."

Jennifer's gaze became gloomy as she spoke.

During lunch, I heard Anthony mention that he was cursed, but I had not expected the curse to be so horrible.

I hugged Jennifer despite my shock.
