Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved Chapter 157: Superpower Awakening

Skylar's POV:

Finally, I came back to my hometown, Black Stone Pack.

Even though I had lived for more than a decade, I was far from happy.

I figured it was because I had gotten so used to having Jerome by my side that I could no longer stand
living alone.

If that was the case, I believed that only time could solve that problem.

After arriving at the Black Stone Pack, I heard that Daniel had returned with Helen so I didn't want to
come into contact with any of my acquaintances.

I could not let Daniel find me.

If he did, he would definitely tell Jerome, and my leaving would become meaningless.

My solitary lifestyle went okay at first.

I stayed at an old inn and only went out to buy cooking ingredients.

But as time went by, a problem cropped up.

Because I had only brought a few necessities with me when I left the Rainbow Pack, it was gradually
becoming difficult for me to live comfortably in my hometown.

I tried to cut down on my expenses, but I didn't have much money left.

If things went on like this, I couldn't even make ends meet.

I pondered over my situation that night before going to sleep.



Finally, I decided to get a job.

Since I voluntarily left the Rainbow Pack, I needed to do whatever I could to look after myself.

I had relied too much on Jerome and my friend, Jennifer.

I needed to get stronger on my own.

The next morning, I went to a fast-food restaurant that served fried chicken.

I had seen their recruitment ad so I decided to apply for the job.

The fast-food restaurant was in a remote area so there were only a few werewolves nearby.

When I arrived, the restaurant was not even open yet.

I stood outside for a while and observed the surrounding area.

Although this place was a little far from the town center, it was peacefully quiet.

If I were to work here, Jerome would not be able to find me so easily.

Eventually, the owner of the restaurant, a middle-aged werewolf, arrived.

When he saw me, his eyes widened.

He looked like a predator who had just found his prey.

"Are you here for lunch? You'll have to wait until we open the store," the owner told me as he unlocked
the door.

"I'm not here to eat.I'm here to apply for a job," I explained.



I don't know why the owner froze at my reply.

He then looked back at me with a strange expression.

"I see.You look good so you can start working here from today."

He smiled at me, but it made me shudder in disgust.

It was probably just my imagination but something about his smile made me feel dirty.

I convinced myself that I was just being paranoid.

"Come in and have a seat."

I followed the owner into the restaurant, and he turned on the light.I went to a table by the window and
sat down.

"Would you like some coffee?" he asked me pleasantly.

However, his smile continued to creep me out.

"No, thank you."

The owner chose to message someone via text instead of responding to me.

My suspicion rose a little more.

Not long after, members of his staff entered the restaurant.

When they locked the glass door behind them, I knew that something was terribly wrong.

"What do you think you're doing?" I demanded.



The owner rubbed his hands as his eyes shone with perverted delight.

"Can't you figure it out? We want to fuck you, bitch."

He walked towards me with a greedy look.This fast-food restaurant must have posted the job ad to
attract she-wolves like me.

How unlucky of me to get into this kind of situation! I wanted to escape, but the waiters were blocking
my way.

I needed to find an exit.

I tried my best to fight them off, but I was outnumbered.

My strength slowly flagged.

The men held me still, and the owner started pulling my clothes off.

Why was this happening to me? I became desperate.

Was I going to get raped by these sleazy werewolves? No, I could not give up! Suddenly, a strange
feeling grew from within my body.

My mind conjured a strong gust of wind that swept everyone away.

All the men got thrown back, and they crumpled to the floor.

I looked down at my hands.

I somehow managed to knock down those werewolves and break the glass door at the same time.

What had just happened? The werewolves could not get up after that, and they looked at me in horror.



Suddenly, the remainder of my strength left mybody, and I crumpled to the floor.

I wanted to get up but I just could not do so.

Just when I thought all hope was lost, a handsome werewolf crossed the threshold and helped me up.

He took off his coat and draped it over my shoulders.

"Are you alright?" he asked me in a gentle voice.

I shakily looked at him before checking on the waiters who were sobbing on the floor.

"I'm all right.Thank you," I replied.

"My name is Robin.I'm from the Blue Rose Pack.We're not safe here so let's go."

After introducing himself to me, the newcomer assisted me out of the fast-food restaurant.

Robin then took out his phone and called the police.

"I called the police earlier, but I'll call them again to give them more details.We can't tolerate what they
did or else they will continue to this kind of thing in the future." I agreed with Robin.

Seeing the police take all my assailants away made me sigh in relief.

Robin's POV:

Recently, I had passed by the fast-food restaurant a few times.

I knew that it was usually empty because it had a bad reputation, so I never ate there.

But today, I saw a she-wolf walk into the restaurant.



It was surprising so I hung about to keep an eye on the situation.

Because all the employees were male, it was quite dangerous for women to enter the restaurant by
themselves.

Sure enough, something strange happened.

The waiters locked the front door.

I knew that something awful was about to happen, but the glass door was locked.

I couldn't get in so I began to feel anxious and helpless.

Some moments passed but the girl did not come out.

I whipped out my phone and called the police.

But what happened next went beyond my expectations.

Somehow, that she-wolf managed to beat the owner and the waiters on her own.

She even broke the glass door.

If my eyes were not deceiving me, she had the ability to control wind.

Because I was interested in her identity, I wanted to become closer to her.

After that incident, I took her to the hospital to have her injury treated.

Her arm was bleeding, but she did not cry out in pain.

She was admirably strong.



I noticed that her clothing was quite worn out so I assumed that she was not well-off.

"Did you go to that restaurant for lunch? The owner and the waiters there have a bad reputation so no
one goes there to eat," I informed her.

"No.I went there to apply for a job.I was hoping to find work there," she explained.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Skylar.Thank you for coming to my rescue."

This was her second time thanking me.What a polite girl! I was becoming more and more interested in
her.

"Now that we've been properly introduced, Skylar, can I take you out to dinner?"

I tentatively put the invitation out and observed her reaction.

"Thank you for the kind invitation, but I don't want you to spend anything on me.You've already helped
me out a lot,"

Skylar answered, tactfully turning me down.

"It's not a big deal.Our meeting today must be fate.It's like we're already friends.Now that we're friends,
you don't need to feel shy about me treating you to a meal."

"Oh, all right.I'll take you up on your offer then,"

Skylar answered in acquiescence.

I took her to a Western restaurant.I took this opportunity to chat with her and know more about her.



"I saw you knock down those scumbags, and it was really awesome.Were you born with the ability to
control wind?"

She seemed surprised by my question.

"To be honest, I don't know how that happened," she replied as she hung her head.

Since she didn't seem to know what was going on, I stopped interrogating her about her special ability.

After dinner, I brought her back to her residence.

It didn't surprise me to see that she was staying at a shabby inn.

"See you around," I told her.

She merely smiled in response.

I watched her walk away from me until I could no longer see her.

Her smile was infectious.

It made me feel happy from the bottom of my heart.

How strange! ‘It was very nice to meet you, Skylar.I look forward to seeing you again soon.
