Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 148: The Competition 

Skylar's POV: 

"Skylar, are you in there?"

I was sitting in my room and Jerome was knocking at the door.

"Yeah, come in," I called out.

There was a click as the door opened.

Jerome walked in slowly with a cautious look.

Then, he held out a gift bag.

I took a cold glance at it.

There seemed to be a dress inside the bag.But why would Jerome buy me a dress all of a sudden? 

"Honey, I want you to be my date at the dinner party," Jerome said, holding my hand.

"You know what? Elder Tony came back with two friends.They were soldiers from Osman Kingdom.They had a narrow escape with death on the battlefield before they met Tony by accident.Today, they came to the Rainbow House and Mr.Jones recognized them.It was a wonderful moment."

Jerome's tone was sincere, and his eyes glinted with determination.

"Fate is really an amazing thing.It was also fate that made us cross paths.Skylar, I will cherish our precious relationship and every single moment that we are together."

"Really?"

I couldn't bring myself to say anything else, and just forced a bitter smile.

If it had been in the past, hearing such sweet words from Jerome's lips would have shot me over the moon.

I would have been too happy to even fall asleep.

But today, these words barely made a dent on my bad mood.

I could only force a smile, because I didn't want to embarrass him.

I took the gift bag and put on the dress that Jerome had bought for me.

His eyes lit up as soon as he saw me wearing the dress, and he even leaned in to kiss me, but I dodged subconsciously.

"Let's go to the dinner party together."

Jerome coughed to ease the awkward atmosphere. I nodded and held his arm.

With a smile, he wrapped his arm around my waist and held me tight.

There were a lot of guests at the dinner party.

When Jerome and I showed up hand in hand, all eyes turned to us.

"This is my mate, Skylar, the only love of my life,"

Jerome announced, publicly introducing me as his mate.

The crowd burst into a long round of applause, and they extended their blessings to us.
