Outcast: The Alpha King’s Beloved

Jennifer’s POV:
Days had passed since Skylar left.
It was as though a dark cloud had befallen the pack and was affecting everyone’s mood especially Jerome’s.
He seemed to have aged tremendously in a few days’ time.
Worried for my brother, I kept texting Skylar, hoping for a reply.
“Skylar, where are you? Can you text me back when you see this?”
“Don’t be let Linda fool you.She’s a scheming she- wolf.Whatever happened was obviously part of her plan to drive you
away.Please come back soon! We’re all worried about you.”
“Skylar, are you okay?”
“Has anything bad happened to you?”
I scrolled through our thread, re-reading all the messages I had sent Skylar.
Alas, she didn’t respond to any of them, which made me worried sick.Had something happened to Skylar? She had been
away for days.
Plus, she was a girl.
So far, there had still been no news from Daniel.
Agitated and restless, I decided to talk to Jerome to see if there was anything more we could do.
I stopped at the door of his study and knocked.
“Come in.”
Jerome’s voice came from inside.
I pushed the door open and strode in to find him frowning deeply over some matters of the pack.

Ever since Skylar left, Jerome had locked himself in his study day in and day out.
I could see from the dark circles around his eyes that he hadn’t slept in a long time, burying himself in work.
We all knew that he was doing this to himself on purpose to keep his sadness at bay.
“Jerome, has Skylar reached out to you yet?” I asked Jerome with a sigh.
Maybe she replied to his message after she was less angry.
“No.I can’t stand it anymore.I haven’t heard anything from her in days.I need to go look for her myself.Jennifer, can you help
me out here? I need to leave the Rainbow Pack.I don’t give a damn about becoming the Alpha.Money and power are
nowhere near as important as finding Skylar.”
Jerome raised his head to look at me.
His eyes were dim, his cheeks were sunken, and his hair was disheveled.
My heart couldn’t help but break, seeing him like this.
“If you want to look for Skylar, I won’t stop you.But you have to solve the issue with Linda first so that you can explain
everything to Skylar once you find her.” I relented.
If he wanted to look for Skylar in person, he could go.
But it was a matter of great importance, so I definitely couldn’t make the decision alone.
I still had to ask Jennifer what she wanted.
“I don’t agree.This isn’t just about the two of us, it’s about the future of the Rainbow Pack.My brother is a good leader and the
elders trust him.If he suddenly gives up the role and hands it over to me, I doubt the elders will be happy.Plus, the Rainbow
Pack has never had a female ruler before,”
Jennifer said seriously after thinking for a while.
“I think he’s just worried sick about Skylar.I’m sure that he’ll be able to think straight once he finds her.”


“But I think it’d be good for you to become the Alpha.And who cares if you’re a girl? You’re just as good as Jerome, if not
even better.”
I always thought highly of Jennifer’s ability, so when Jerome brought the idea up to me, I wasn’t surprised in the slightest.
My mate was capable.
I had faith in her capabilities.
“Forget it.”
She waved her hand dismissively.
“I’ll think about it later.The most important thing now is to find Skylar.I’m worried about her.We haven’t heard a thing from her
in a while.Let’s go out and look for her right now.”
As Jennifer spoke, she intertwined her fingers and mine and practically dragged me out.
Together, we headed to the Rainbow Pack’s boundary to check the surveillance videos again but more carefully this time
around.
Later, we inquired everyone we encountered, hoping to find any clues towards Skylar’s whereabouts.
But it was futile.
No one had seen Skylar on the day she disappeared.
“Can we draft a notice offering a reward for anyone who can help us find Skylar? We can attach her photos to it.Then, we can
post them in every corner of the Rainbow Pack so that those who have seen Skylar will come to us voluntarily,” I suggested.
“That’s a good idea,” Jennifer agreed with a nod.
We went straight to work.
The notice was posted everywhere in the entire territory of the pack, covering every place that Skylar might pass by.
Everything was going smoothly until we passed through a dense forest on our way back to the Rainbow Pack.
I felt something was not right with this place.
