Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Jerome's POV: 

I finally found Skylar, but to my surprise, there was another man by her said.

His name was Robin, and he had the audacity to introduce himself as Skylar's future boyfriend.

What was worse, however, was that Skylar didn't deny it.

Moreover, seeing Skylar concerned about Robin made my heart ache.

I needed to clear things up.

Thus, when Robin was being treated for his wound, I pulled Skylar aside to talk to her alone.

"Jerome, what is it?"

Skylar asked me, obviously annoyed from being dragged out all of a sudden.

Despite this, I couldn't help but pull her into my arms.

"Skylar, I've missed you so much.I've been looking all over for you.I was going crazy with anxiety!"

"Jerome, I'm sorry I misunderstood you.However, even though I now know that Linda's behind all of this, I still feel like we should move on from each other." Skylar pushed me away.

"What do you mean? Can't we continue from where we left off?" Her answer struck me like lightning.

"I'm sorry, Jerome.I like my life right now.Linda wasn't the only reason why I left the Rainbow Pack.I was thinking about it carefully and I realized I can't become your Luna.What we had was great, but that's in the past now.Thank you for loving me.And thank you for looking for me.But please respect my choice."

"Skylar, if you don't want to become my Luna, then I choose not to become the Alpha.I'm willing to give everything up to be with you, okay?"

I bit my lip anxiously, hoping to change Skylar's mind.

"What? Your father's the deceased Alpha.As the son of Alpha, you have your responsibility.You should shoulder it."

Skylar tried to persuade me.

I frowned slightly.Was this the real reason why she was refusing me? Or had she fallen in love with someone else? 

"Skylar, is it because of Robin? What's your relationship with him?"

As soon as I asked, I felt regret.I realized that I didn't want to know the answer.

"We're just friends.My decision has nothing to do with him," Skylar said to my great relief.

"Skylar, you still love me, don't you? If we love each other so much, then why should we be separated? Please don't leave me.I'll make things up to you.I really can't live without you." I looked at her pleadingly.

"Too many things have happened recently.My mind is a mess.Please give me some time to think it over." Skylar sighed.

I felt a glimmer of hope when she said this.At least Skylar didn't refuse me outright.

I still had a chance! I hugged Skylar again excitedly.

This time, she didn't try to push me away.

In that moment, I couldn't hold myself back anymore.
