Jennifer’s POV:
Anthony and I had a crazy night.We went to sleep very late.
As a result, we didn’t get up until noon of the following day.
Skylar was the first thing on my mind, so I went to see her as soon as I got up from bed.
Before going to her room, I prepared some breakfast and honey water for her, knowing she might have a terrible hangover.
“Skylar, are you awake?” I knocked on the door, but received no response.
“I’m coming in!”
I figured she was probably still asleep, so I fetched a spare key and opened the door.
To my surprise, there was no one in the room.
Moreover, the closet was empty.
Everything was neat and tidy, just like the way it was before Skylar stayed here.
Even the quilt was folded carefully.
Other than a letter lying on the desk, there wasn’t a trace that Skylar had even stayed in this room.
In a daze, I picked up the letter.
Skylar had left without telling us.
What on earth had happened that made Skylar leave so decisively? I dashed to Jerome’s room as fast as I could, only to find
him looking dazed and dejected.
Linda and Andy were there, too.
Andy’s eyes were red and puffy, as though he had just been crying.What were they doing here?
“Jerome, what on earth happened?” I demanded.
“I woke up in bed next to Linda, and Skylar saw us.”
“What? How did that happen?”
No wonder Skylar left! If I were in my friend’s shoes, I would’ve reacted the same way.The poor girl must’ve been crushed!
“Did you have sex with Linda after getting drunk last night?” I asked pointedly.
“I...don’t know.I was really drunk.I barely remember a thing. I just woke up to find Linda lying beside me.” Jerome looked up
at me helplessly.
I glanced at Linda.
When her eyes met mine, she immediately averted her gaze, as though she was guilty of something.
“Do you know that Skylar’s gone?” I asked my brother.
“What?”
Jerome stood up in disbelief.
“Why didn’t you try to explain to her?”
I sighed and handed the letter to Jerome.
He looked very sad.
“This is all my fault.If I was able to control myself, we wouldn’t be in this situation,”
Linda said in a sobbing tone.
“Linda, you can drop the act already.I know you’re happy that Skylar left.” I lost my temper.
We had all witnessed the love between my brother and Skylar.
We could only imagine the pain he must’ve felt now.
Of course, no one blamed him.
After all, my brother was also a victim.
“Skylar might have gone to the Black Stone Pack.After all, that’s where she grew up,”
Daniel guessed boldly.
This seemed to be the most reasonable speculation now.
“Then let’s go to Black Stone Pack to find Skylar,” I said resolutely.
“Let’s split up.We’ll cover more ground that way.”
Jerome’s POV:
She did it.
Skylar left me.
My heart was broken and my world was collapsing.
Before today, I never would’ve thought that Skylar would leave me.
I always thought we would be together forever.
After all, she was my mate.
“I’ll go.You all stay here.I’ll go to the Black Stone Pack alone.I need to be the one to find Skylar and I’ll bring her back myself,”
I said in a low voice.
Skylar was my mate and she left because of me.
It was only right that I looked for her.I couldn’t burden everyone else with my problems.
But they didn’t agree.
“Jerome, let us do it.You are the future Alpha of the Rainbow Pack.They need you right now.Moreover, the Alpha’s
succession ceremony hasn’t been held yet.You can’t leave the pack until then.Don’t worry.We will bring Skylar back safe and
sound,” Jennifer said.
What happened today made me realize that the most important person in my life was Skylar.
Without her, I didn’t even know how to keep on living.
Becoming the Alpha was nothing compared to her.
Fame, wealth and status couldn’t keep me going.
It was Skylar who made life worth living.
“Jennifer, I have to find Skylar,” I said firmly.
“I don’t need to be the Alpha.I’ll let go of the position and give it to you.I just want to be with Skylar.”
