Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

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."
