Outcast: The Alpha King’s Beloved

Jerome’s POV:
I slowly peeled my eyes open and woke to find myself in my room.
But to my surprise, when I turned my head, I saw Linda lying next to me, naked.
What the hell? Why on earth were we naked? Did I sleep with Linda last night? I sat bolt upright, eyes wide with shock.
No, this wasn’t possible.
I loved Skylar and my body was only ever drawn to her.
Was I actually drunk enough to mistake Linda for Skylar? If Skylar saw me and Linda in bed like this, she would definitely break
up with me.
I pressed my fingers against my temples and tried to recall the events of last night.
However, the last thing I could remember was drinking with Skylar and then being sent back to my room.
I had no memory of Linda coming inside my room.
Linda was crying right now.
No matter how I tried to comfort her, it didn’t work.
She kept sobbing over our past, which upset me.
If we really had sex last night, then I didn’t know how I could possibly face Skylar.
Would she forgive me? No.
If I really had sex with Linda last night, then I had no right to ask for Skylar’s forgiveness.
I was spiraling, so I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down.
I needed to think.
How on earth did I get into this situation? Maybe things weren’t as bad as I thought.

What if this was all part of Linda’s scheme? I didn’t really trust her these days.
Maybe she just wanted me to believe that we had sex to rope me into being responsible for her.
If that was the case, then I could figure out a way to maneuver out of this sticky situation.
But before I could interrogate Linda, the door suddenly opened.
Skylar stepped inside and our eyes met.
In that moment, I knew I was doomed.
Skylar’s eyes were red and puffy from crying.
My heart broke.
Skylar looked at me as a tear fell from the corner of her eye.
Her eyes were lifeless, as though she was empty and hollow inside.
That was the look of complete and utter despair.
Without waiting for a response, Skylar turned around and ran out.
I tried to chase after her, but Linda stopped me.
“It’s useless to talk to her now, she’ll only get angrier.You’d better wait until she calms down,” she said.
As much as I hated to admit it, she was right.
I needed to wait for Skylar to cool down.
But would she still take me back? I sighed helplessly.
‘‘God, what should I do?’’
In the end, I decided to try my luck and go after Skylar.I was really worried she would give up on me.

But this time around, someone else stopped me.
It Was Andy, who suddenly ran inside and latched onto my leg, tears streaming down his face.
“Dad, please don’t abandon Mom.I want to be with you two forever.”
He held me tightly with his little hands.
I wanted to push him away, but I didn’t have the heart.
He was just a child after all.
I could do nothing but watch as Skylar got farther and farther away.I was in a Crisis.
Skylar’s POV:
Before today, I couldn’t make up my mind to leave Jerome, because I loved him too much.
I also thought that he loved me too.
