Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved Chapter 145: Want To Leave

Skylar's POV:

I pressed my fingers against my temple and winced.

I couldn't erase from my mind the scene of Linda and Jerome being intimate, and remembering it made
me go crazy.

Blind with jealousy, I couldn't help but ask Jerome those pointed questions.

But as soon as the words left my mouth, I regretted it.

The truth was, I didn't want to know about their past.

I knew it would only hurt me even more.

If I found out just how close they were before, my jealousy would grow uncontrollable.

Jerome stared at me, stunned at my questions.

After what seemed like an eternity, he said, "I have to admit what Linda and I had was wonderful.But
that's all in the past now.You are my present and my future.I promise you, there's nothing romantic
going on between me and Linda, and nothing will ever happen.I'm loyal to you and you alone.Please,
you have to trust me."

I frowned.

He did sound sincere, but I was still unsure whether to believe him or not.He had never lied to me ever
since we became mates, and I could tell that he wasn't a liar, either.

Jerome had morals.



So, should I believe him? But I couldn't deny what I saw.

I caught him kissing a half-naked Linda.

"Jerome, you said you were loyal to me, but I'm not so sure about that.I don't want to hide anything
from you.I saw Linda taking off her clothes and being intimate with you just now.How do you explain
that? Where was your so-called ‘loyalty’ then?"

"It was nothing like that! This is a misunderstanding.Nothing was going to happen.It was
just...Linda...she was so emotional that she took off her clothes in front of me, wanting to get a taste of
the past.But I didn't touch her, I swear.Skylar, I'm not lying to you.I would never betray you!"

Jerome was in such a hurry to explain that he stuttered as he spoke.

I sighed.

"Even if there is nothing going on between you two, it doesn't matter.It's obvious that Linda won't give
up on you, and you're obviously unwilling to abandon her and her child.But that's why our relationship's
too complicated now.I feel like an outsider who doesn't belong.Even if what I saw was just some
misunderstanding, the problem between us still exists.Jerome, maybe we are not the right mates for
each other.I wish we never met." I lowered my head and bared my heart.

The problem was never about the trust; it was the fact that Linda and Andy suddenly built a wall
between us.

No matter how open-minded I was, they were like a sharp thorn that kept piercing my heart with every
beat, each one more painful than the last.

With this thorn in my heart, I knew my relationship with Jerome wouldn't be the same.



"Skylar, don't say that! Meeting you was no mistake —it was the best thing that has ever happened to
me.I love you and Moon Goddess gave you to me.How could she have made a mistake? Please don't
leave me.I can't live without you."

At a loss, Jerome threw his arms around me tightly, tears welling up in his eyes.

However, I felt nothing but exhaustion.

"I want to be alone for a while," I said coldly.

"I'm not leaving,"

Jerome said stubbornly.I didn't respond.

Silence hung over us for what seemed like an eternity.

Finally sensing my icy coldness, Jerome sighed and relented.

"Fine.Because you asked, I'll give you some space.I'll come back later."

He lowered his head dejectedly and walked out of my room slowly.

As soon as Jerome closed the door behind him, my heart felt empty.

No matter how I played it out in my head, the only solution to this situation was for me to leave.

Without me, Linda, Jerome, and Andy could become a happy family.Yet I couldn't bring myself to give
him up.

I loved him too deeply to simply let go.I clutched my chest as despair crept up on my heart.

Jennifer's POV:



Just as I was about to go to bed, I heard a knock picture.What am I supposed to do?

My heart sank.

The thing I feared most happened Linda's sudden appearance was destroying Skylar's relationship with
my brother.

"Jerome, I already warned you to be careful of Linda.How could you let this happen?"

I was always suspicious of her.

Now, she was slowly revealing her true color.

"I'm sorry.You were right.I let my guard down and I'm suffering the consequences.It's strange, but I
can't help but feel that she has changed.She seems to be a completely different person from the
innocent girl I used to know."

Jerome hung his head dejectedly.

"This is all my fault."

"Linda's hiding something.I took Andy out and found out something strange from him.At first, he was so
secretive about their past.Then, it slipped out that he and Linda used to stay at Lavender Pack.But
when I asked her about it, she said that she had been wandering around the Rainbow Pack all this time
and never even mentioned Lavender Pack."

"Really?"

Surprised, Jerome stood up abruptly.

"Calm down."



Outsiders often saw most of the game.

My brother must have been deceived by Linda.

I had to find out what she was hiding in order to help my brother and Skylar.

"I've already brought this up with Anthony and he promised me he would investigate the matter.If he
finds out that Linda is lying to us, I won't let her go so easily."

"Thank you, Jennifer." Jerome nodded in a daze.

"Maybe she really has changed.I'm so stupid!"

"Jerome, you'd better watch out from now on, okay? Don't believe everything Linda says.Guilt about
the past is blinding you.You can't go on like this,"

I warned him sternly.

"Okay, I'll try to keep my distance from her," Jerome said with a resolute nod.

"Don't worry.The truth will come out soon enough.I'll Keep an eye on Skylar and try to calm her down.I
won't let your relationship end here."

"Thank you.You're the best!"

Jerome expressed his gratitude and gathered me into a bear hug.

"You're welcome.You're my brother, after all.Your business is my business."

Patting him on the shoulder, I added, "You and Skylar are a perfect match.Please don't let her go."

‘’Linda had better behave herself.Otherwise, I'm going to make her pay.”
