Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Jerome's POV: 

Linda's sudden reappearance came as a great shock to me.

With this abrupt turn of events, I couldn't get married to Skylar as scheduled without marring my conscience in the process.

Since the Luna's ceremony couldn't be held until our marriage, I announced that the Alpha's succession ceremony would be postponed as well, leaving the exact date and time to be decided later.

Meanwhile, I arranged a good bedroom in the house for Linda and Andy so that they would have a comfortable place to stay.

After all, Linda had been wandering around with the little boy for a couple of years.

I could imagine that she had suffered a lot.

After making sure that Linda's physical condition was stable, I went back to my room and lay in the bed alone, thinking about everything that had happened recently.

I rubbed my throbbing forehead.

Linda's and Skylar's faces kept flashing through my mind alternately, giving me a headache.

It was true that in the past, I had loved Linda very much and regarded her as the woman whom I would spend the rest of my life with.

They was why, after her disappearance, I searched far and wide for her like a madman.

Life had been painful without her.

As the years passed by, I slowly grew numb to the pain, but I still couldn't forget Linda.

It was only after meeting Skylar, whose sweet smile and enthusiastic attitude towards life had a healing effect on me, that I was finally able to let go of the past.

Now, I knew without a shred of doubt that the love of my life was Skylar.

I wanted to marry her.

The problem was, Linda hadn't just reappeared alive and well, but with a child that she claimed to be mine.

How could I turn a blind eye to them? Thinking of that, I felt so guilty.

If Linda was telling the truth, I couldn't abandon her and the child just like that.

Andy was still so young.

If he was really my son, then I had to personally raise him up.

That was the basic duty of a father.

"Jerome, are you in there?"

There was a knock at the door, followed by Skylar's distressed voice.

"Come in."

I got out of bed and opened the door.

I knew that in this situation, Skylar was the most pitiful person.

As soon as I opened the door, she threw herself into my arms and cried hysterically.
