Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Skylar's POV: 

I hadn't slept a wink all night.

Thinking about what had happened to Jerome, I couldn't fall asleep.

Suddenly, Jerome turned over in bed and wrapped his arms around me tightly.

"What's wrong, baby? Why are you still awake?"

Feeling my restlessness, Jerome gently kissed my forehead.

"It's okay.I'll fall asleep soon enough."

I kissed him back to show him that I was fine.

But the truth was, I was worried.

The fact that Dylan was actually Jerome hadn't sunk in yet.

He had a whole history I didn't know about, let alone the position of Alpha to inherit.

"Jerome, are you planning to become the Alpha of the Rainbow Pack?" I asked.

Jerome looked at me, finally realizing why I was so restless.

"So that's what was on your mind.If everything goes well, then yes.It's my duty as the son of the late Alpha Lewis.Arthur is cruel and merciless.The werewolves in our pack are unhappy under his rule.I must protect my pack and carry out my father's will."

"I'm sure your father would've been very proud of you."

Despite saying this, I couldn't help but feel uneasy.

After hesitating for a while, I finally decided to be honest with Jerome.

"Jerome, I'm worried that I'm not good enough to be your Luna.We're from very different walks of life.Everyone will judge me."

Hearing what I said, Jerome hugged me even tighter.

"Skylar, don't think like that.No matter what family background you have, you're my mate.I won't marry anyone else." I sighed.

Jerome was a good man, so I believed what he said.

But what about me and my past? Could I really qualify to be the mate of the future Alpha? "I used to be an orphan.I had no family.Later, the Alpha of the Black Stone Pack adopted me and I finally started to live a normal life.I worked hard to be selected by Mr.Jones for the training of elite werewolves.I didn't get any special treatment, unlike some werewolves from other packs.I worked hard to get whatever I have today."

This was the first time I had told Jerome about my past.

Yes, others might have seen me as a cheerful, optimistic, and maybe even childish girl.

They didn't know anything about what I had gone through.
