Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 138: Reconciled 

Jerome's POV:

Thanks to Jennifer's reminder, I knew how depressed Skylar was feeling.

It dawned on me that I hadn't been the best mate recently.

Of course it must be hard for Skylar to accept everything that was happening.

I had been so immersed in my own frustration that I had forgotten to care about her feelings.

I quickly went to Skylar's room.

Through the window, I could see her sitting all alone on the bed, next to a delicate-looking dress.

I recognized the dress at first glance.

It was the dress that Skylar was supposed to wear for the Luna's ceremony.

I knew how much she was looking forward to wearing it.

But at this moment, tears streamed down her cheeks as she touched the dress.

"Skylar, open the door.I want to talk to you,"

I called softly, knocking at the door.

Looking at her wallowing in sorrow like this broke my heart.

A moment later, the door opened.

Skylar stood there, looking at me with a pair of red teary eyes.

Without waiting for even a moment, I stepped forward and swooped her into my arms.

I leaned down and kissed away the teardrops on her face.

I held her tightly, pressing her against me as if I wanted to meld her body with mine.

"Jerome, what's wrong?"

Skylar asked breathlessly, looking up at me in surprise.

"Nothing.I just wanted to hug you.I'm sorry.Did I hurt you?"

I loosened my grip and touched her head.

"Silly girl, why were you crying just now? Was it because of me? Skylar, I'm really sorry for making you suffer so much."

"You saw it?"

Skylar sniffed and tried her best to wipe the remaining tears off her face.

She walked to the bed, picked up the beautiful dress, and sighed with a longing look.

"I really like this dress.It's so pretty.You know, I've been looking forward to wearing it for a long time.Ever since we bought it, I've been counting down the days to when I would get to wear it.I've imagined myself in this dress so many times, holding your hand and finally marrying you.Jerome, I really want to be your wife and Luna.But now, with Linda and Andy here, I feel like I've been slapped by reality.Marrying you now feels like an impossible dream."

As she spoke, tears uncontrollably welled up in her eyes again, and she choked through sobs.

I couldn't stand looking at her in so much pain.

"Skylar, you're thinking too much.I promise I'll make your dream come true.I will marry you.I'll never let you down.Please trust me, okay? I just need some time to sort things out.

I can't be an irresponsible man.

I have to settle Linda and Andy down first.

But don't worry, I won't indulge myself in the past.

The relationship I had with Linda is long over.

The only woman in my heart now is you.

"Then why do I feel like I've lost? Linda didn't do anything, but I still feel like I'm defeated.When I think of how long you were with her and that you even have a child together, I can barely breathe.You two had a wonderful past and a lovely child.But what about me? What do I have? I'm not even your Luna,"

Skylar cried, shaking her head.

"Silly girl, you have my love! This love is eternal and will never change.I am yours, and always will be." All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

I lifted her chin, held her delicate cheeks, and looked into her eyes sincerely.

"Really? Are you sure?"

Tears streamed down Skylar's face, and she hugged me tightly, as if she was afraid I would disappear at any moment.

"Jerome, are you still mine?"

"Of course.We are mates chosen by Moon Goddess."

Holding her waist, I lowered my head and gently kissed her pink lips.

I wanted to comfort her, but as usual, the sweet taste of her lips drove me crazy.

As the kiss deepened and our tongues entwined with each other, Skylar gradually calmed down.

I believed that as long as we loved each other, there was no power that could separate us.

Linda's POV:

It was late at night when the brutal torture finally came to an end.

My whole body was stained with Nick's cum.

An abnormal glint flickered in his eyes as he let his gaze wander over my bruised skin.

"You slut, are you satisfied?"

Nick reached out and wantonly rubbed my swollen pussy.

"Tsk, tsk, I almost tore your pussy apart.I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself and came inside you.You better take a morning-after pill."

"I will," I said meekly, nodding.

"Nick, you will help me change the result of the paternity test, right?"

"Of course.How can I break my promise?"

Nick pinched my butt again.

"You slut, fucking you felt so good.Come and lick my cock clean.Then you can leave."

With my limbs free, I obediently shifted towards him, wrapped my lips around the tip of his cock and licked off all the liquid.

Nick's eyes squinted, and he hummed happily.When I sucked him dry, I mustered up a smile and shook my buttocks at him like a puppy.

He nodded, stretched his arms, and slowly put on his clothes.

After that, he calmly walked out of the room and left.

Now that I was all alone with the mess in the room, I felt the air grow thick enough to suffocate me.

I couldn't help but sob in despair.

Right now, I felt dirty.

Enduring the wave of nausea threatening to overwhelm me, I rushed to the bathroom and washed off the cum all over my body.

After putting on my clothes, I dragged my exhausted body away from the hotel.

On the way, I bought a morning-after pill and took it.

Then, I hurried back to the Rainbow House.

My body ached with every step I took, and my legs were covered with bruises.

Damn it! That lecher had almost broken me into pieces.

Afraid that someone in the Rainbow House would notice my arrival, I secretly tip-toed back to my bedroom.

As soon as I pushed the door open, Andy jumped up and held my thigh.

"Mom, why did you come back so late? I couldn't fall asleep without you by my side," he whined like a spoiled child.

I bent down, hugged him, and gave him a peck on the cheek.

"Baby, let's go to bed now."

With a guilty conscience, I looked around, hurriedly picked up Andy, and crept into the bedroom.

After I closed the door, Andy pointed at the bruises on my arm and asked innocently, "Mommy, why are you hurt? Did someone bully you? Tell me! I'll help you beat up the bad guy!"

Tears welled up in my eyes.

"No one bullied me.My dear, you're such a good boy."

My voice trembled with emotion as I reached out to hug him again.

"Andy, I'm sorry for being a bad mother.I can't give you a complete family."

"Mommy, don't cry.You're here, aren't you? I don't care even if I don't have a dad.I just want you, Mommy."

Andy looked up at me and tried to comfort me.

"But why did you ask me to call Jerome my dad? How many dads do I have?"

When I heard these words, my eyes widened in fear and I covered his mouth in a hurry.

"Andy, don't talk nonsense.What if someone hears you? Remember, Jerome is your father.We need to start a new life.Don't talk about the past at all.Forget everything, okay?"

"Oh, okay, Mommy."

Confusion was evident in Andy's eyes, but he still nodded obediently.

"I'll listen to you.Jerome is my only dad from now on.But...he doesn't seem to like us very much."

"Andy, he will change as time goes by.You'll see.You'll have a good father."

I carried Andy to the bed, held him in my arms, and sang him a lullaby to coax him to sleep.

"Honey, it's time to go to sleep, okay?"

Soon, Andy dozed off.

After that, I went to the bathroom to take a shower again.

This time, I repeatedly rubbed at the marks on my body, willing them to disappear.

After the shower, I lay in the bed next to Andy and tiredly closed my eyes.

Why did I have such a tragic fate? In order to be with Jerome, I had to endure the torture of a pervert.

I clenched my fists and made up my mind to win Jerome back no matter what.

As long as I could force Skylar to leave, my son and I would be able to live a rich, amazing life.I would succeed.
