Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Jennifer's POV: 

Days had passed since Skylar left.

It was as though a dark cloud had befallen the pack and was affecting everyone's mood especially Jerome's.

He seemed to have aged tremendously in a few days’ time.

Worried for my brother, I kept texting Skylar, hoping for a reply.

"Skylar, where are you? Can you text me back when you see this?"

"Don't be let Linda fool you.She's a scheming she- wolf.Whatever happened was obviously part of her plan to drive you away.Please come back soon! We're all worried about you."

"Skylar, are you okay?"

"Has anything bad happened to you?"

I scrolled through our thread, re-reading all the messages I had sent Skylar.

Alas, she didn't respond to any of them, which made me worried sick.Had something happened to Skylar? She had been away for days.

Plus, she was a girl.

So far, there had still been no news from Daniel.

Agitated and restless, I decided to talk to Jerome to see if there was anything more we could do.

I stopped at the door of his study and knocked.

"Come in."

Jerome's voice came from inside.

I pushed the door open and strode in to find him frowning deeply over some matters of the pack.

Ever since Skylar left, Jerome had locked himself in his study day in and day out.

I could see from the dark circles around his eyes that he hadn't slept in a long time, burying himself in work.

We all knew that he was doing this to himself on purpose to keep his sadness at bay.

"Jerome, has Skylar reached out to you yet?" I asked Jerome with a sigh.

Maybe she replied to his message after she was less angry.

"No.I can't stand it anymore.I haven't heard anything from her in days.I need to go look for her myself.Jennifer, can you help me out here? I need to leave the Rainbow Pack.I don't give a damn about becoming the Alpha.Money and power are nowhere near as important as finding Skylar."

Jerome raised his head to look at me.

His eyes were dim, his cheeks were sunken, and his hair was disheveled.

My heart couldn't help but break, seeing him like this.

"If you want to look for Skylar, I won't stop you.But you have to solve the issue with Linda first so that you can explain everything to Skylar once you find her." I relented.

If he wanted to look for Skylar in person, he could go.
