Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Jerome's POV: 

I slowly peeled my eyes open and woke to find myself in my room.

But to my surprise, when I turned my head, I saw Linda lying next to me, naked.

What the hell? Why on earth were we naked? Did I sleep with Linda last night? I sat bolt upright, eyes wide with shock.

No, this wasn't possible.

I loved Skylar and my body was only ever drawn to her.

Was I actually drunk enough to mistake Linda for Skylar? If Skylar saw me and Linda in bed like this, she would definitely break up with me.

I pressed my fingers against my temples and tried to recall the events of last night.

However, the last thing I could remember was drinking with Skylar and then being sent back to my room.

I had no memory of Linda coming inside my room.

Linda was crying right now.

No matter how I tried to comfort her, it didn't work.

She kept sobbing over our past, which upset me.

If we really had sex last night, then I didn't know how I could possibly face Skylar.

Would she forgive me? No.

If I really had sex with Linda last night, then I had no right to ask for Skylar's forgiveness.

I was spiraling, so I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down.

I needed to think.

How on earth did I get into this situation? Maybe things weren't as bad as I thought.

What if this was all part of Linda's scheme? I didn't really trust her these days.

Maybe she just wanted me to believe that we had sex to rope me into being responsible for her.

If that was the case, then I could figure out a way to maneuver out of this sticky situation.

But before I could interrogate Linda, the door suddenly opened.

Skylar stepped inside and our eyes met.

In that moment, I knew I was doomed.

Skylar's eyes were red and puffy from crying.
