Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 162: Family Gathering 

Daniel's POV: 

Helen and I had been in the Black Stone Pack for several days now.

Ever since we got here, we had been searching high and low for Skylar, but it was as though she had disappeared into thin air.

No matter where we looked, we couldn't find a trace of her.

At some point, we even started to suspect that Skylar hadn't even come back to Black Stone Pack.

I texted Jerome that there was no sign of Skylar yet, hoping that they would turn their eyes towards other packs.

Despite things looking bleak, I sent a large number of werewolves to continue the search for Skylar in Black Stone Pack.

Amidst everything, I received a message from my brother, Devin.

"Let's have dinner at my place at eight o'clock tonight, Daniel.Bring Helen with you."

That was strange.

Devin and I had always had a complicated relationship.

Why was he inviting us to dinner? Was he just trying to act friendly in front of our parents? Or perhaps he actually wanted to improve our relationship.

After some slight hesitation, I replied, "Okay."

Then, I turned off the phone.

I needed to focus.

What was Devin up to? Even though I racked my brains, I still couldn't figure him out.

There was nothing I could do but wait and see.

Later that day, Helen and I went to Devin's house at eight o'clock sharp.

But to my surprise, my parents were nowhere to be found.

Did Devin not invite our parents? How awkward if it was just the four of us! After all, my relationship with Devin was, to put it lightly, strained.

"Helen, be careful.I don't think tonight is as simple as it seems," I told Helen.

She nodded and slipped her hand into mine.

We headed to the dining table together.

There was an unexpected guest waiting there.

It was my childhood friend, Mandy.

As soon as we sat down, Mandy approached us.

My expression darkened.

What was she doing here? Why did Devin invite her? "I'm sorry, but this is my seat."

Mandy stood beside Helen, smiling at her.

She gestured for Helen to switch seats.

Helen eventually relented and sat in the other seat next to me.

"So, you're the famous Helen.I've heard so much about you.Now that you're at the Black Stone Pack, please feel at home here," Mandy said with a smile.

"Who is she?" Helen whispered in my ear.
