Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved Chapter 260: Painful Skylar

Jennifer's POV:

Now that we had Adonis's testimony on video, Anthony and I headed back to our hotel room.

"Oh, my God! Devin is so good at acting.What a sly werewolf!" I said to Anthony as I whipped out my
phone and copied the recording into the U disk.

"He almost had me.I was convinced he might not be the murderer after all."

"He's a threat to Daniel.We need to make sure we expose his crimes thoroughly so that Daniel will
become the Alpha smoothly," Anthony said seriously.

"Anthony, what're you going to do?" I asked worriedly "We don't have to expose Devin's true colors
right now.We can deliver the fatal blow when he is off- guard."

With a sly smile, Anthony rapped on the table with his knuckles.

"Just when he starts to relax, that's when we'll strike."

"Good idea, Anthony!" I clapped my hands with satisfaction.

"We can expose him at the funeral! That way, everyone will know what kind of a werewolf Devin is, and
the late Alpha Marlon will have closure.Oh, this is good!"

"Exactly.I'll make arrangements in advance, lest he try to escape from his punishment."

Anthony strode over and sat next to me, slipping his arms around my waist lovingly.

"Many werewolves will attend the funeral.Everyone will be there when we reveal who the true murderer
is.I can tell that Devin's a proud man.The look of disgust on everyone's face will be enough to destroy
him."



"You're right." I chuckled, leaning on Anthony's shoulder.

"By the way, Jennifer, keep the evidence to yourself.Don't tell anyone else about it, lest anything
unexpected happen," Anthony instructed me.

"Don't worry.I'm way ahead of you."

I winked at him and was about to say more, but all of a sudden, I felt sick and started to retch.

"What's wrong?" Anthony held me worriedly.

"It's probably just morning sickness.Skylar said it's normal for pregnant women." I sank into the sofa
and closed my eyes.

A little while later, the dizziness faded.But now, I was faced with a new problem.

"I'm craving something sour...like a yogurt cake."

I didn't know why, but I felt as though I wouldn't be satiated until I had a yogurt cake.

"Okay, I'll make one right now."

Without hesitation, Anthony got up and went to the kitchen to bake a cake.

A half-hour later, a yogurt cake decorated with colorful fruits was laid out in front of me.

"Oh, my God! Anthony, you made this?"

I took the plate of cake and examined it carefully.

"It's too beautiful for me to eat!"

"Don't worry.If you like it, I'll make it for you every day." Anthony winked at me charmingly.



"Come on, babe.I made it just for you. Try it."

"Okay, okay, fine."

With a wide grin, I took my fork and was about to dig in when Anthony stopped me.

"Let me feed you.You can just lie on the sofa and enjoy it, my queen."

Anthony leaned over, scooped up a spoonful of cake and put it to my mouth.

Seeing the smile on his face, I felt very happy.It felt so good to be taken good care of.

"Wow!" I chewed on the sweet, moist cake thoughtfully, savoring its sweetness.

With Anthony's help, I finished the whole cake in no time.

"Babe, your mouth has cream on it!"

Chuckling, Anthony suddenly leaned over and licked my lips.I was stunned for a moment, flustered by
his sudden gesture.

"You taste sweeter than the cake, honey." Anthony smiled, wrapping his arms around me.

"Now, isn't it your turn to satisfy me? I'm not interested in yogurt cake.I just want to eat you."

"You're so annoying." I rolled my eyes, smirking.

Finally, I leaned forward and pressed my lips against his.

After sharing a passionate kiss, I climbed onto his lap and looked at him seriously.I suddenly
remembered Skylar's situation, which depressed me.



"Anthony, even if Skylar manages to keep her special power a secret, I don't want her to keep hiding
her true self.It must be really difficult." I sighed heavily, voicing out my concerns.

"You're right." Anthony echoed my sentiments, frowning slightly.

"I don't think Skylar should do that to herself.If her identity ends up being exposed, Jerome can just
take her away.I know he'll be able to protect her."

"Actually, Jerome's been thinking about this." I sighed again.

"But as an Alpha, he's responsible for the members of his pack.There's nothing he can do about it.By
the way, Anthony, can you send your men to check on the totems of the vampire families? I want to
know where Skylar came from.Maybe we can find a way for her to control her special power.There's a
hexagram mark on her wrist, right? You mentioned that it might be the symbol of a noble vampire
family."

"Okay, I'll look into it.Leave it to me." Anthony smiled, giving me a peck on the forehead.

Skylar's POV:

That night, I couldn't fall asleep.I tossed and turned in bed restlessly.I tried to calm myself down, but I
couldn't get rid of the images in my head.I couldn't help but fret that, if my vampire bloodline was
discovered by others, they would try to kill me.

Plus, what if my child also had special power? What would I do then? The more I thought about it, the
more anxious I felt.

My heart started to race like a drum.

"Skylar, what's the matter?" Jerome seemed to notice how restless I was.



He hugged me from behind.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Jerome, my heart is beating so fast.I don't feel so good.There are scenes in my mind that I can't get
rid of."

I threw myself into Jerome's arms and burst into tears.

"Do you think it's because of your special power?' Jerome looked at me worriedly and then helped me
up.

"Don't panic, honey.Let's go see Jennifer and her mate.They must have a solution!" He then scooped
me up into his arms carefully.

At a loss, I buried my head into his arms as he carried me out of our room.

"Jennifer, it's me, Jerome.Please open the door.Skylar's unwell!" Jerome cried anxiously as soon as we
reached their room.

"What's wrong, Jerome? Skylar, are you okay? What happened?"

As soon as the door swung open, Jennifer bombarded us with questions.When she saw me, her eyes
went as wide as saucers.

"Oh, my God! You don't look so good.Come inside!"

Jerome carried me into the room, and Anthony closed the door behind us.I asked Jerome to put me
down.

Then, I threw myself into Jennifer's arms.



"What should I do? I feel like my special power is getting out of control.I'm so worried that everyone will
find out and that they'll try to hunt me down.My child won't be able to grow up safely."

As I rambled, tears streamed down my cheeks.

"Jennifer, I really can't bear to see Skylar suffer like this.I need to take her away to someplace safe.We
can go to a place where no one knows us.Skylar can then give birth to the baby and live a happy and
carefree life with me."

Jerome looked at Jennifer gravely, and I knew what he was about to ask.

"Please take my place as Alpha."

"I knew this day would come." Jennifer sighed heavily.

Hugging me, she rubbed my back comfortingly.

"If you've decided, then I'll take over the position.But Skylar, I don't want you two to leave.Who knows
when we'll be able to see each other again?"

Hearing Jennifer's words, I was choked with sobs.

"I don't want to leave either, Jennifer.But I don't know what else to do."

We hugged each other tightly.

Suddenly, I felt my shirtsleeve moisten.

Jennifer was crying, too.

"We should stop crying; it's not good for the babies." Jennifer coaxed me softly.



"Maybe things won't be that bad.After all, no one in the Rainbow Pack has discovered that you have
the special power, right?"Jennifer's words made sense.

I tried my best to calm down and wiped away my tears."Jerome, please think twice.You need to make a
careful decision.Are you sure you want to give up the position of Alpha?"

Jennifer asked Jerome.

"Trust me, Jennifer.I've been thinking about this for a long time.But I don't want to force you to take
over my responsibilities.If you don't want to become an Alpha, just tell me.I'll try to come up with
another solution."

Jerome held my hand and we both smiled at Jennifer.

"Okay, I'll think it over." Jennifer smiled back at us.

Being surrounded by the people closest to me, I gradually calmed down.

After saying goodbye to Jennifer, Jerome and I went back to our room.

It was quite late at night and I needed to get some rest.Sinking into my bed, I rubbed the hexagram
mark on my wrist and closed my eyes.
