Outcast: The Alpha King’s Beloved

Skylar’s POV:
Finally, I came back to my hometown, Black Stone Pack.
Even though I had lived for more than a decade, I was far from happy.
I figured it was because I had gotten so used to having Jerome by my side that I could no longer stand living alone.
If that was the case, I believed that only time could solve that problem.
After arriving at the Black Stone Pack, I heard that Daniel had returned with Helen so I didn’t want to come into contact with
any of my acquaintances.
I could not let Daniel find me.
If he did, he would definitely tell Jerome, and my leaving would become meaningless.
My solitary lifestyle went okay at first.
I stayed at an old inn and only went out to buy cooking ingredients.
But as time went by, a problem cropped up.
Because I had only brought a few necessities with me when I left the Rainbow Pack, it was gradually becoming difficult for
me to live comfortably in my hometown.
I tried to cut down on my expenses, but I didn’t have much money left.
If things went on like this, I couldn’t even make ends meet.
I pondered over my situation that night before going to sleep.
Finally, I decided to get a job.
Since I voluntarily left the Rainbow Pack, I needed to do whatever I could to look after myself.
I had relied too much on Jerome and my friend, Jennifer.

I needed to get stronger on my own.
The next morning, I went to a fast-food restaurant that served fried chicken.
I had seen their recruitment ad so I decided to apply for the job.
The fast-food restaurant was in a remote area so there were only a few werewolves nearby.
When I arrived, the restaurant was not even open yet.
I stood outside for a while and observed the surrounding area.
Although this place was a little far from the town center, it was peacefully quiet.
If I were to work here, Jerome would not be able to find me so easily.
Eventually, the owner of the restaurant, a middle-aged werewolf, arrived.
When he saw me, his eyes widened.
He looked like a predator who had just found his prey.
“Are you here for lunch? You’ll have to wait until we open the store,” the owner told me as he unlocked the door.
“I’m not here to eat.I’m here to apply for a job,” I explained.
What had just happened? The werewolves could not get up after that, and they looked at me in horror.
Suddenly, the remainder of my strength left mybody, and I crumpled to the floor.
I wanted to get up but I just could not do so.
Just when I thought all hope was lost, a handsome werewolf crossed the threshold and helped me up.
He took off his coat and draped it over my shoulders.
“Are you alright?” he asked me in a gentle voice.

I shakily looked at him before checking on the waiters who were sobbing on the floor.
“I’m all right.Thank you,” I replied.
“My name is Robin.I’m from the Blue Rose Pack.We’re not safe here so let’s go.”
After introducing himself to me, the newcomer assisted me out of the fast-food restaurant.
Robin then took out his phone and called the police.
“I called the police earlier, but I’ll call them again to give them more details.We can’t tolerate what they did or else they will
continue to this kind of thing in the future.” I agreed with Robin.
Seeing the police take all my assailants away made me sigh in relief.
Robin’s POV:
Recently, I had passed by the fast-food restaurant a few times.
I knew that it was usually empty because it had a bad reputation, so I never ate there.
But today, I saw a she-wolf walk into the restaurant.
It was surprising so I hung about to keep an eye on the situation.
Because all the employees were male, it was quite dangerous for women to enter the restaurant by themselves.
Sure enough, something strange happened.
The waiters locked the front door.
I knew that something awful was about to happen, but the glass door was locked.
I couldn’t get in so I began to feel anxious and helpless.
Some moments passed but the girl did not come out.
