Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Jennifer's POV: 

Right before I fell asleep, my phone rang.

It was Helen.

She told me that Skylar had left Black Stone Pack.

I sat bolt upright when I heard the news, anxious because now, it would be even more difficult for us to find Skylar.

The world was huge.Where on earth could she have gone? 

"I have to tell Jerome," I said to Anthony urgently.

Jerome was so busy with work lately, trying his best to solve the matters of the pack as soon as possible so that he could search for Skylar himself.

I figured he would move even faster once I told him the news.

"I'll go with you."

Anthony also got out of bed.

The two of us hurriedly got dressed and rushed to Jerome's room.

Nodding slightly to Anthony, I raised my hand and knocked on the door.

Soon after, Jerome opened the door.

There were dark circles around his eyes.

"What's up?" he asked tiredly.

"Jerome, I'm just here to tell you that Skylar has left the Black Stone Pack."

 "What?"

All the color drained from Jerome's already pale face.

"Where could she have gone? Do you think she's in danger? I can't wait any longer.I'm going to look for her right now.Jennifer, I don't have the time to properly hand over the affairs of the pack to you.Please summon the elders and have a meeting tomorrow to explain the situation."

As he spoke, Jerome had already headed back into his room to pack his things.

"Since you've made up your mind, we will support you.Call me if you need anything, okay?" I sighed.

Because time was of the essence, Jerome only took a few attendants with him.

Anthony and I escorted him to the airport.

"I'm going straight to the Black Stone Pack to personally investigate the matter.If Skylar was there, she must've left some clues.I'm sure I'll find something at the airport.Hopefully, she didn't go far." Jerome waved at me.

"Thank you, Jennifer."

"Don't worry," I said with a forced smile.

"I'll do what I can to take care of the pack. Be careful, okay? Call us as soon as you find Skylar."

"I will," Jerome agreed.

"If you encounter any difficulties, don't hesitate to tell me."

"Okay." Jerome nodded.

Then, all of a sudden, he threw his arms around me tightly.

"Jennifer, I'm sorry.I'm a bad brother.We were separated when we were children.I've never taken care of you properly.And now, I'm asking you to take over the Rainbow Pack for me."

"So you have to come back soon, or I'll never forgive you." I felt a lump in my throat.

Jerome nodded and let go of me.

"All right.Mr.Jones, Jennifer, I'm leaving now."

He walked towards the plane steadily, glancing back at us from time to time.

When we were sure that Jerome was on board, Anthony and I went back to Rainbow House.
