Outcast: The Alpha King’s Beloved

Jennifer’s POV:
We hung out with Andy until the sun went down.
Although he had grown comfortable with me, I still couldn’t glean any useful information from him.
I didn’t expect a three-year-old child would be so careful with what he talked about.
Linda must’ve told him not to say anything.
Nevertheless, I still firmly believed she was hiding something.
But what could be so damning that she had to hide it from everyone? When we got back to the Rainbow Pack, we took Andy
to Linda’s room.
“We’re back, Linda! Andy’s so cute.Anthony and I have both grown very fond of him.We had a great time.”
I smiled and ruffled Andy’s hair.
“It must’ve been hard for you to raise Andy alone, Linda.By the way, which pack did you live in?”
“We went to the Red Sun Pack first, where we found a doctor who helped cure my disease.Then, I took Andy to the Rainbow
Pack and we’ve been wandering around here ever since.”
Linda’s tone was calm and her face betrayed nothing.
If Andy hadn’t mentioned the Lavender Pack today, I would have believed what she said.
She was a good actress.
I needed to be wary of any tricks she might play.
Out loud, I said with a smile, “You’re a good mother and you’ve raised Andy well.You’re strong-willed, too.It’s no wonder my
brother fell for you in the past.”
“Thank you, Jennifer.I’m sure I’m nowhere near as strong as you, though,”
Linda said, feigning modesty.

We chatted for a little while longer before bidding each other goodnight.
Anthony and I headed back to our room.
The second we closed the door behind us, I began to talk about Linda with Anthony.
“Anthony, Linda’s lying.Andy mentioned that they used to live in the Lavender Pack, but Linda didn’t mention it and said they
had been staying in the Rainbow Pack for a while now.”
I frowned and scratched my chin.
“Plus, I can tell that he’s keeping a secret for Linda.No matter how I asked, Andy wouldn’t mention anything about their past.I
think Linda’s hiding something.”
“I agree.There is something fishy about Linda.Don’t worry.I’ll try to help.I’ll send my attendants over to the Lavender Pack to
investigate a she-wolf named Linda.And if Linda did live there, I’ll have them find out everything they can about her stay
there.But the Lavender Pack is far.The investigation may take some time.”
“You are the future Alpha.Why would you go through the trouble of making a cake for me? Jerome, you are too good to me.”
She gratefully took the plate and pulled me into the room.
“The truth is, I’m not angry at you.I locked myself in because I needed to calm down.Linda and Andy’s sudden appearance
just shocked me too much.”sudden appearance just shocked me too much.”
“I understand,”
I said, reaching out to stroke her hair.
“But no matter what, you have to eat.When you go hungry, I’m the first one who feels sorry for you, okay? Promise me that
you will take good care of yourself from now on.How can I rest easy when you act like this?”
“Got it.”
Skylar gnawed her lower lip bashfully.


“I’ll listen to you from now on.”
“Good girl.”
I leaned over and pecked her on the forehead.
“Isn’t mango cake your favorite? Let me feed you.”
I cut small piece and fed it to her.
Skylar seemed shocked that I would offer to feed her, but she obediently opened her mouth and ate the cake.
As she chewed, her tears started streaming down her cheeks, landing on the plate.
“What’s wrong, Skylar? Don’t cry.”
I put down the fork and hugged her tightly.
“Did I do something wrong? Honey, I hope you can give me a chance.I really don’t want to lose you.”
“Jerome, you didn’t do anything wrong,”
