Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Skylar's POV: 

I was asleep in the ward when my phone started ringing. It was Robin.

He told me that Andy was dead.

My eyes went wide with shock.

I just saw Andy yesterday and he was fine.

How could he be dead? Robin explained that the poor child had mistakenly ingested the poison that Linda had left out.

By the time Linda found out, it was already too late.

Despite rushing him to the hospital, the doctors could do nothing to save Andy.

When I got off the phone, I rushed to the emergency room.

There, I found a group of people gathered around the door.

In the distance, I could hear the wailing cries of a miserable woman.

My heart sank.

I waded my way through the crowd but stopped in my tracks when my eyes landed on a familiar figure.

It was Jerome.

Why was he here? I quickly averted my gaze and ducked back into the crowd, hoping he wouldn't see me.

If he did, my efforts to run away from him would all be in vain.

But a few seconds later, I found myself in a warm and tight embrace.

"Skylar, what're you doing here? I've been looking all over for you!"

Jerome held me so tightly in his arms, I almost felt suffocated.

I struggled to break free from his embrace, but he was too strong.

"Jerome, let go. You're hurting me!"

I raised my head and looked at him coldly.

I had been in hiding for so long, but he still found me.

What was I supposed to do? Finally, I managed to push Jerome away.
