Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 194: Jerome and Skylar's Escape 

Jerome's POV: 

I didn't stop running until I reached one corner of the garden.There were bushes here where Skylar and I could hide.

I crouched down behind some bushes and cautiously peeked over the leaves.I wanted to check if our pursuers were still following us.I didn't see any of our pursuers, but the path beyond the bushes was full of guests from the banquet.

"Have you heard? Apparently, Austin killed the previous king.For that, Anthony overthrew his brother and imprisoned him.So will Anthony be the new king?"

"But he's afflicted with the Love Curse, which is an unbreakable curse.That is unless he's not in love."

"How horrible! I heard that there was a vampire in the banquet hall!"

The guests gossiped as they walked past the bushes.Their voices were really loud so I heard them clearly.

According to them, the battle had come to an end.

Anthony had successfully overthrown Austin.I couldn't help but feel relieved for him.But I was also worried about Skylar.

"I wonder how a vampire managed to sneak in here.That damned vampire!"

As the guests continued to talk, I looked down at Skylar.

She seemed to shrink in my arms, and her face was pale.

She obviously overheard their conversation as well.

"Don't worry, honey.Austin is no longer a threat, and Anthony is next in line to the throne.He won't believe the rumors.Besides, Jennifer will do her best to prove that you are innocent," I told Skylar in an effort to comfort her.

Her frightened look made my heart ache.

"But I do have special powers, Jerome.What if I really am a vampire?" Skylar whispered.

"What do I do?" I hugged Skylar, feeling sorry for her.

To me, Skylar was Skylar.

I didn't care who or what she was because I love her, but others would not see it that way.

While I was racking my brains to comfort her, a cat suddenly popped out from the bushes.

The cat yowled and pounced on Skylar.

I quickly threw out an arm to block it, but she still got startled so she screamed.
