Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved Chapter 256: The Hexagram Mark

Jennifer's POV:

After saying goodbye to Daniel, Anthony and I went back to the presidential suite that Daniel had
arranged for us.

Once we were settled down, Anthony called a doctor to check on me and the baby to make absolutely
sure that we were okay.After examining me for a while, the doctor looked up and gave us a reassuring
smile.

"It's nothing serious.The baby is all right."

It was only then that the two of us could breathe a sigh of relief.

After the doctor left, I turned to Anthory..

"Anthony, I want to go and see Elder Simon.He must be really worried about Helen," I told him.

Our whole accommodation had been arranged by Daniel, so Skylar and Jerome were staying next
door, while Simon was staying in another suite.

"Sure, let's go."

Anthony accompanied me out of our suite.

Soon after we knocked on the door of Simon's suite, he opened it and invited us in.

"Elder Simon, Helen has been proved innocent, so you don't have to worry about her anymore," I said,
trying to comfort him.

"Thank you for your concern, Miss Smith."



Simon forced a smile at me, but he still looked troubled.

"I'm beginning to wonder whether it's the right decision for Helen to marry Daniel.After all, Daniel is the
son of an Alpha.I don't want Helen to get involved in any power struggles.She is simple-minded."

I fully understood how concerned Simon must be for his daughter.Just like he said, Helen was an
innocent girl incapable of scheming and suspicion.

That was why she had been set up by someone like Mandy.

But I also knew how much she and Daniel loved each other.If she couldn't marry Daniel, she would be
heartbroken.

"Elder Simon, I know you're saying this out of love for your daughter.But the truth is, Helen and Daniel
can't live without each other.They have a deep relationship.I don't think either of them will be able to fall
in love with someone else.Anyway, I believe that in the future, Daniel will protect Helen well.And if
Helen is in trouble, Anthony and I won't stand by without helping her either," I said earnestly.

"Yes, I know.Anyway, whatever decision Helen takes, I'll respect it.Thank you, Miss Smith and
Mr.Jones.I will never forget your kindness to Helen."

Simon bowed deeply to me and Anthony.

"Don't mention it.Helen is our friend, and friends should help each other," I answered with a smile.

After saying goodbye to Simon, Anthony and I went to see Skylar.

It had been a long time since I last saw her, and I missed her very much.

"Oh my God, Jennifer, we finally have the chance to talk!"

As soon as Skylar saw me, she hugged me excitedly.



"I know, right? I really missed you, Skylar."

As I spoke, I took Skylar's hand.

"Jerome, Skylar, let's go to my room and have a chat." Skylar and Jerome followed me to the room that
Anthony and I were staying in.

I ordered room service to bring us some beverages and desserts.

Over a glass of milk, I told Skylar about what had happened over the past few days.

The two of us chatted happily.

"When your child is born, I will be its godmother," I said excitedly, touching Skylar's bulging belly.

"Of course.And I'll be the godmother of your child!" Skylar giggled.

"By the way, Skylar, have you been able to control your special powers? Have you used them
recently?" I asked with concern.

"Oh, speaking of that, I almost forgot to tell you.Jennifer, look!"

Skylar thrust her hand in front of me.

After taking a confused glance at her, I looked down at her hand, where I found a strange mark on her
wrist.

"Jennifer, this mark suddenly appeared on my wrist recently.And the weird thing is, it glows
sometimes.Every time it glows, my special powers will grow and almost get out of control.What should I
do, Jennifer?" Skylar asked in frustration.

Looking at how crestfallen she was, my brother quickly shifted closer to her and hugged her.



"Skylar, this mark may be the symbol of a vampire family.I've heard that the vampires of some noble
families would have a specific totem on their bodies, which is a symbol of their noble identities,"
Anthony said, narrowing his eyes at the mark on Skylar's wrist.

Skylar's POV:

Looking at the mark on my wrist, I felt very uneasy.I didn't know why this mark had appeared on my
wrist all of a sudden, but Anthony's words filled me with anxiety.

It seemed that there really was a link between me and vampires.

What was more, not only did I somehow have the blood of a vampire, but it was possible that I had the
blood of a noble one.

"I suspect that Skylar is a descendant of a noble vampire family,"

Anthony continued with a frown, looking at me.

"Skylar, do you remember anything from your childhood?"

"Well...as far as I remember, I was an orphan.I didn't have any food to eat, and often slept on the
streets.I didn't have a home until the Black Stone Pack took me in," I said slowly, biting my lip as I tried
to recall the past.

"Skylar, you must hide this mark well.Don't let anyone else see it!" Jennifer said firmly, holding my
hand.

"Don't worry, Jennifer.I will," I replied seriously.

"But what if my identity is exposed somehow? Jerome will get into trouble too because of me."



This conversation only made me even more determined to put my past and true heritage behind me.I
didn't want to look for my family who had abandoned me, nor did I want to be a vampire aristocrat.I just
wanted to be an ordinary she-wolf and spend the rest of my life with the man I loved.

"Don't worry, honey.Everything is going well now, isn't it?" Jerome said soothingly, squeezing my hand.

"Don't think too much."

"Okay," I whispered, forcing a smile at him.

"Jennifer, Mr.Jones, it's getting late.We'll get going.Skylar needs to go to bed early since she's
pregnant," Jerome said to Jennifer and Anthony, standing up and holding his hand out to me.

"Sure.Skylar, keep in touch, okay? Don't worry.We'll find a way."

With a confident smile, Jennifer walked me and Jerome to the door.After saying good night to Jennifer
and Anthony, Jerome and I returned to our room.

Sitting on the bed, I held my wrist and stared at the mark.

Despite everyone's words of reassurance, I couldn't calm down.

"Jerome, I can't stop thinking about this.I'm so scared.I wish I could just wipe out this mark.Is there a
way we can make it disappear?" I asked Jerome in a trembling voice.

"Skylar, it's okay.No one can hurt you when I'm here.We can find a way to make it disappear after we
return to our pack, okay? Maybe a wizard can remove it with a spell," Jerome comforted me softly,
holding me in his embrace and stroking my hair.

"What if it can't be removed? I have a mark of the vampires on my bare wrist.Sooner or later, someone
will find out my true identity.And once the news spreads, everyone will want to kill me, and our poor



child will be at the center of this tragedy..."

As I spoke out my worst fears, I felt my throat constricting, and I couldn't finish my sentence.The
consequences that I would have to face were bad enough, but I didn't want my child to suffer.

"Honey, I promise that that day will never come."

Jerome planted a gentle kiss on my forehead.

"As long as I'm alive, I will protect you, and so will Jennifer and Anthony.They are the future king and
queen.Nothing will happen to you."

"But I keep having this feeling that something bad is going to happen to us soon."

I squeezed my eyes shut, buried my head in Jerome's arms, and sobbed.

"Skylar, you're thinking too much.It's just your imagination.For your sake, and for the sake of our child,
please let yourself relax and have positive thoughts.Be good."

Jerome gently patted on my back and shifted me towards the pillow.

"Lie down and get some rest, honey.I'll go get you a cup of warm mk Taking a deep breath, I reluctantly
closed my eyes and lay down on the bed.Of course I didn't want to worry about all these things.I knew
that being under stress was bad for the baby.But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't calm down.It was
like a grey cloud looming over me, making me restless.How would my future turn out to be? Could I
really be with Jerome forever?”
