Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

 Thomas's POV: 

The second I saw the hexagram mark on Skylar's wrist, I immediately suspected that she might be the daughter of King Aldrich, who had been sent away when she was but a baby.

That was why I deliberately told Skylar about the king's past and how he missed his long lost daughter, hoping to convince Skylar to tell me the truth.

As expected, soon Skylar admitted that she was of mixed-blood.She really was our vampire princess! I was ecstatic.

I had always adored our king, hoping that one day he would find his daughter.

Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that she was right under my nose this whole time! However, to my disappointment, even though Skylar finally admitted her identity, she still didn't want to go back to vampire territory to meet Aldrich.

Unconvinced, I tried to persuade her.

"Skylar, it's been a long time.Maybe King Aldrich didn't want to abandon you.Are you angry of him? Whether you want to take the throne or not, I think it'll be a good idea for you to meet him and talk.Maybe things aren't what you think.But Skylar shook her head firmly.

"No, Thomas, I already made up my mind when I found out that I have special power.I swore that I would never choose to be a vampire.It was werewolves who raised me.I can't let my adoptive parents down, though they're already in heaven.So I can't go back to the vampires' territory with you!"

Seeing the fierce expression on Skylar's face, I sighed and gave up.

"Okay, I respect your opinion.Skylar.We are friends.I won't tell anyone about your little secret."

"Thank you, Thomas.Please don't let any vampire find out about my relationship with the Dracula Clan, and don't let them know that I'm on Rube Island.I'm afraid that they will forcibly take me back if they find out the truth."

Skylar looked at me with pleading eyes which were puffy from her crying.I quickly knelt on one knee and took Skylar's hand.

"Skylar, you don't have to act like this.Although you don't recognize the vampire king as your father, for me, you are already our princess, as well as my friend.I'll do everything in my power to protect you.Don't worry.I swear that I will never reveal your secret!"

Skylar seemed a little surprised, but soon she finally smiled and said, "You don't have to act like this, Thomas.I believe you.Thank you.Jerome and I also consider you our good friend."

"Yes.I will be very grateful if you are willing to help us keep the secret, Thomas."

Jerome held Skylar with a firm expression.

"As long as Skylar doesn't want to, I won't let her go back to the vampires' territory, no matter what."
