Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 161: A New Life 

Skylar's POV:

Tseemed to fly.

I had been in the Black Stone Pack for a few days, and it was tforto find a job.I couldn't stay here too long.I needed to save enough money to leave the Black Stone Pack and find a new pack to settle down.

After preparing a simple breakfast, I headed out to look for a job.

When I walked out of the hotel, I found Robin standing idly outside.Had he been waiting for me? As I was walking, my eyes happened to meet his.When I saw him smile at me, I grinned back and approached him.

"When I found out you were living here alone, I decided to cover to see if you were doing okay," Robin said sheepishly.

"Thank you, Robin," I replied gratefully.

"You've helpeda lot.I really appreciate it.I'm sorry if you waited long, I didn't know you were downstairs.”

"Don't worry about it.Where are you going?"

"I'm trying to look for a job."

"Why are you in such a hurry to find a job? Last twe met, you were also looking for a job.Skylar, are you in trouble?"

Robin squinted atin surprise.

I didn't answer him at first, not knowing whether I should tell him the truth or not.

After all, we had only known each other for a few days, but Robin helpedand seemed genuinely concerned about me.

Maybe he thought ofas a friend.

I decided not to hide the truth from him.

"Here is the thing.I want to find a job and make money so I can leave Black Stone Pack," I told him.

"If that is the case, you don't have to find a job to do that.I can help you.You can leave any tyou want,"

Robin offered with a smile.

"Robin, I appreciate the offer, but I want to make money by myself." I shook my head.

He had already helpedso much.I couldn't ask him for anything more.But to my surprise, he insisted.

"But it seems tothat your luck has run dry.If you're having a hard time, lethelp you.Getting you out of here is a piece of cake.Skylar, I think we are friends, so we should help each other."

He sounded so sincere.I hesitated.

What he said made sense.

I needed to leave the Black Stone Pack as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the longer I stayed here, the more likely Daniel was to find me.

After thinking it over, I finally agreed to Robin's suggestion.

"Thank you, Robin.Please loanthe money for my travel expenses.I'll pay you back as soon as possible."

"It's just a small sum of money.Don't sweat it." Robin waved his hand dismissively.

"No away.We might be friends, but I refuse to take advantage of your kindness.Letpay you back."

Seeing how determined I was, Robin finally nodded in agreement.

But now, there was the question of where I should go.

When Robin saw my hesitation, he suggested we go to the Blue Rose Pack, which was his hometown.

I had never been to the Blue Rose Pack.Thus, it seemed highly unlikely that Jerwould go there to look for me.

So I agreed with Robin.

Once I got onto the plane, I had mixed feelings.

Although I didn't know whether I was making the right decision or not, I was determined to live my life to the fullest.

Robin's POV:

What kind of girl was Skylar? The first tI met her, she had defeated an entire group of males by herself.

At first, I was just curious about her, but the more I learned about her situation, the more intrigued I was.

She was so strong-willed in the face of difficulties.She was mysterious and fresh, which drew me towards her.

During the process of getting to know her, I found that my interest in Skylar was growing.

I found myself longing to see her, and at times, even wanting to protect her.

I had never had such a wonderful feeling for a she-wolf.

When we were seated on the plane, I saw her checking her phone from tto time.

After reading through smessages, she seemed to give up and tucked her phone away, as though she was afraid of something.

I didn't know what was going on in her mind, but I wanted to find out.

"What's wrong? You seem a little anxious," I asked her.

Skylar eyednervously for a while before finally letting out a heavy sigh.

"The reason why I needed to leave the Black Stone Pack is because my mate has been looking for me.But I don't want to go back to him.I decided to give up on him so that he could be together with his ex-girlfriend.I don't want him to find me.I really can't take being sandwiched between them anymore.It was such a suffocating feeling." Skylar smiled bitterly.

So that was why she had left everything behind.Knowing what she had gone through, I couldn't help but feel bad.

"Skylar, you're an interesting girl, but you're way too kind-hearted.Why didn't you fight for your mate? His ex-girlfriend should've been nothing but a reminder of his past.You should've respected the arrangement of Moon Goddess and cherished your mate." I shook my head in disbelief.

This silly girl actually went so far out of her way for other's happiness, while sacrificing her own.

"No, I don't want to cause them any more suffering.I has a feeling my mate still likes his ex.I don't want to be in a relationship where my mate has eyes for another woman.It's better to leave them alone than to share his love with another girl.More importantly, I believe that I can also live a wonderful life alone," Skylar explained simply.

"Skylar, I believe you need to think more about yourself and your own happiness.But since you've already made the decision to leave, I'm sure things will get better for you.You will definitely find your own happiness."

I felt sympathetic towards her situation.

If she really wanted to break away from her past, then I sincerely hoped she could live a better life from now on.

"Thank you, Robin.You're right.Now that I've made my decision, I need to move on and look toward the future.Everything will turn out fine.What about you? I don't know anything about you."

Skylar finally began to inquire about me.

I couldn't help but feel a little happy, as it looked like she was slowly beginning to warm up tome.

"I'm the son of the Blue Rose Pack's Beta.Actually, the only reason why I was in the Black Stone Pack in the first place is because a friend of mine is getting married, so I visited him.His name's Daniel, and he's the son of the Black Stone Pack's Alpha.We used to be classmates.I heard he's deeply in love with his mate.I'm really happy for him."

I didn't know if I was just seeing things, but it looked like Skylar stiffened at the mention of Daniel's name.

"How long will it take for us to reach the Blue Rose Pack?" she asked, abruptly changing the topic.

I stole a glance at her.

Did Skylar know Daniel? But before I could ask her, we started experiencing turbulence and the plane jerked up and down.

As the plane shook, I heard Skylar scream.

A cup of hot water had spilled onto her, scalding the back of her hand.

"Are you okay?"

I quickly grabbed her wrist and wiped her hand with a tissue.

"Yeah, don't worry about me.It's nothing serious."

Skylar took her hand back.

"You should be more careful."

Worried about her hand, I looked for sburn salve and carefully applied it on her hand.

Then, I wrapped her with a blanket for fear that she would catch a cold.

Skylar shifted uncomfortably.

It looked like she wasn't too happy with the way I cared about her.I could see that she hadn't completely given up on her mate.

My fingertips were still warm from touching Skylar's hand.I couldn't help but smile slightly.

Skylar was a really complicated but lovable girl.
