Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 286: The Rube Island

Chapter 286: The Rube Island 

Skylar's POV:

When Jerome took me to our new home, I still hadn't come to accept the fact that Jerome and I had really left Rainbow Pack.

I thought I was in some kind of dream.

Because I was pregnant, Jerome cleaned the entire place by himself and he even called a moving company to help carry our belongings into the beautiful villa.

When the movers were bringing the furniture inside, Jerome held my hand and said, "Honey, let's go out for some air.By the time we get back, the house should be ready."

I nodded and followed Jerome outside.

We sat on the sand, staring out into the boundless blue ocean in front of us as the waves hit the shore and touched our toes.

It felt like a treat to be able to enjoy such precious moments with the man I loved.

"Oh my God, Jerome.It's really beautiful here!"

I was over the moon with joy, taking Jerome's hand in mine.

"This place is going to be our happy new home."

Jerome looked at me gently with a smile.

"I'm glad you think so.I was afraid that you might not be able to adapt to living on a remote island."

As we walked along the coast of Rube Island, the soft breeze from the sea blew on my face and cleared up the dark cloud that had enveloped my heart for quite some time now.

The other inhabitants who were also walking on the beach smiled at us warmly and greeted us.

Jerome waved back at them and said, "Hello! Have a good day!"

It was such a pleasant change of pace from the fear and distrust we had to face at the Rainbow Pack.

I tugged at Jerome's arm and said, "Everyone is so nice and friendly.You are right.We can start a new life here since no one knows who we are or where we came from."

Jerome pulled me into his arms and then gave me a kiss on the forehead.

"Honey, you won't have to worry about anything anymore.Our lives are going to be simpler and happier.After our baby is born, I'll teach him how to swim in the sea."

As the sunlight fell on his gentle face, his loving smile caused my heart to beat faster.

"Just think of it as our honeymoon," Jerome said and he winked at me playfully.

Then, he stared deeply into my eyes and leaned in for a kiss.

I felt my heart flutter and I said, "Jerome, this is so romantic!"

We kept walking along the coast until we came to a barbeque restaurant on the way.

Jerome pointed at the restaurant and said, "Hey, do you want to have some barbeque? Perhaps if you eat something different, your morning sickness will get better."

"Okay," I agreed happily.

"We get to eat deliciously grilled meat on the beach.This is turning out to be better than I imagined."

We walked into the restaurant and the owner welcomed us warmly.

"Please have a sit.What would you like to eat? We also have an all-you-can-eat buffet.Just ask the waiters and they will prepare everything for you."

Jerome smiled and said, "We'd prefer to do it ourselves.Besides, I want to impress my wife today."

The owner gave me a wink and said, "No problem!"

A waiter set up a grill on the beach and brought in a bag of charcoal.

We ordered some chopped vegetables and marinated meat to barbeque.I was quite surprised to see that Jerome knew his way around a grill.

He taught me how to stick the iron skewers into the vegetables and meat before they were seasoned with spices and oil.

I was very excited because this was a new experience for me.

After the food was ready, the smoky aroma pervaded my nose and made my mouth water.

My eyes lit up at the tenderness and succulent flavor of the meat, but even though I accidentally charred most of it, Jerome ate it all without complaining even once.

"Jerome, you've done quite well! It's delicious!"

"Really? You should eat more if you like it so much."

Jerome looked at me with a doting smile.

My flushed cheeks showed my shyness as I looked away.

Only this man could make me feel like that.

Having finished our meal, we decided to walk back.

As the wind blew through my hair in parching gusts, Jerome told me to stand and pose with the beach to my back.

He took out his phone and said, "Honey, you don't know how beautiful you look right now! Let me take some photos of you and send them to Helen and Jennifer."

Needless to say, I complied happily, lifting up the hem of my dress as I came up with a wobbly pirouette and struck a pose.

I looked at him and said, "You'd better not make me look bad in any of the photos."

It was said that time passed quickly in delightful company.

It had already been a few hours since Jerome and I left the villa and I barely even noticed it.

We both picked out our favorite photos and send them to Helen and Jennifer.

I didn't expect to receive a call from Helen as soon as we sent the photos.

"Wow, you look so beautiful! How's it going, Skylar? Are you having a good time over there?"

Helen sounded chirpy over the phone.

Despite my shyness at her words, I answered, "It's quite nice out here! I'm fine, Helen.Jerome is taking good care of me."By the way, how are you and Daniel doing?"

"Daniel and I have returned to Black Stone Pack.We decide not to start the preparations of our wedding until after Mr.Jones' coronation ceremony and his wedding ceremony with Jennifer.Daniel's father passed away just recently, and the werewolves of Black Stone Pack are still mourning him.We still need some time to take in everything."

I understood how Helen felt, so I comforted her.

"You and Daniel have a lifetime of happiness to look forward to.Everything is going to be all right."

"Thank you," Helen replied gently.

"You too."

Jerome's POV:

We sent the photos of Skylar to Jennifer, but there was no reply.It was getting dark, so we decided to walk back slowly.

"Perhaps Jennifer is very busy at the moment.After all, she has a wedding to prepare with Mr.Jones," Skylar said to me.

I nodded, thinking that Skylar's reasoning was sound.I noticed Skylar's face become lusterless at the mention of Jennifer's wedding.

"I really wanted to be there at Jennifer's wedding.It's such a pity."

It broke my heart to see the look of sadness in her eyes.

I already had a secret plan and I smiled mysteriously at her as it was time for the grand reveal.

"Honey, what if I told you that I have a way to take you to the wedding?"

Skylar's eyes lit up and she asked in disbelief, "Really? What do you mean?"

"Yes! Have I ever lied to you?" I held Skylar in my arms.

"But I have to keep it a secret for the time being.It'll be a nice surprise."

"Oh, Jerome! You're so good to me!" Skylar wrapped her arms around me and gave me a big hug.

I was happy to see her smiling again.

It seemed as though I was right to take Skylar away from the Rainbow Pack.

Only after leaving that place behind was she able to feel at ease.

The Skylar I wanted to see was the one I had fallen in love with in the first place—carefree and soulful.

We finally arrived at the villa.

It looked like the movers had just finished putting everything in the right places.

They greeted us with a smile when they saw us.

"Thank you so much."

I expressed my gratitude and then signed my name on the receipt handed over by the staff.

"You're welcome.We hope you like living here.This is a beautiful and prosperous island.Anyone who has ever been here will fall in love with this place."

The staff smiled courteously.

After the moving staff left, I took Skylar inside for a full tour of new home.

Skylar excitedly ran to the balcony.

"Wow, what a big balcony! We can put up some chairs and watch the sunrise and sunset from here."

I walked up to Skylar and hugged her from behind.

"Yes! I'm glad that you like it!"

Skylar nestled in my arms and looked at the stars in the sky.

"What a beautiful starry sky, Jerome."

I kissed her forehead and said, "Your eyes are prettier and brighter than those stars."

Skylar's cheeks blushed and she said, "I'm afraid that you're spoiling me too much."

I whispered in her ear, "That's exactly what I plan to do, babe."

Just one touch and it was over, as it was always that way with Skylar.I felt the electricity in my skin.

Skylar began to take my clothes off, and so did I.

"Jerome...I love you."

With blurry eyes, Skylar looked up at me.

"I love it when you make love to me like that.

"I love you too, honey."

As I spoke, I moved faster, thrusting deeper into her until she squirmed and her body convulsed.

The beautiful starlit night bore witness to our love for each other all night long.
