Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Skylar's POV: 

After Anthony stepped forward in our defense, the elders finally compromised and agreed to let Jerome abdicate.

"Thank you, Jennifer.Thank you for supporting us."

I hugged Jennifer and expressed my gratitude as tears of relief welled up in my eyes.

"I don't know what I would do without you..."

"There's no need to thank me.I know that you would have done the same for me.Now that everything is settled, you and Jerome are free to go wherever you want."

Jennifer held me in her arms and comforted me with a smile.

"Skylar, sit down and finish your lunch.Don't forget that you're now eating for two people."

I nodded and sat down next to Jennifer and Jerome.

We had been so wrapped up in our discussion with the elders that we almost forgot about the food on the dining table.

There was still some tension in the air and so I avoided making eye contact with the elders.

"Jerome is so ungrateful! How could he abandon everything for the sake of love?"

"Yes.It's such a shame he isn't willing to set his personal interests aside for the Rainbow Pack."

I could still hear some of the elders bemoaning Jerome.

They weren't even trying to hide it from me.

It was almost as if they wanted me to hear them.

Unfortunately, I couldn't deprive them of the satisfaction of getting a reaction from me because I was infuriated.

Nonetheless, I had to admit that they were right.

It was because of me that things had ended up like this.

Did I do something wrong? Was I being selfish by letting Jerome ruin his future for me? As if he had read my mind, Jerome took my hand gently and said, "Don't listen to their nonsense.Skylar.You can't make everyone happy.We just need to worry about our life."

"Jerome..."

I held back my tears as I didn't want to be embarrassed in front of the elders.

I squeezed his hand tightly and whispered, "What if I'm wrong to insist on being with you.What if I'm wrong and I end up harming you?"

There were several elders eyeing us sourly, but Jerome paid no heed to them and pulled me in his arms.
