Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 223: Skylar's Dream Of Prediction 

Skylar’s POV:

I opened my eyes from an abysmal nightmare in the middle of the night.

My body was bathed in a cold sweat and the sheets were twisted around my limbs, probably because I was thrashing in my sleep.

In my dream, I saw Jennifer and Prince Anthony buried underneath snow and ice on the snow mountain.

"Jerome! Jerome!"

In a panic, I shook Jerome up from sleep.

"I just had a terrible nightmare about Jennifer and Mr.Jones getting caught in an avalanche on the snow mountain!"

"Honey, it's just a nightmare.It's not real."

Jerome quickly pulled me into his arms and comforted me gently.

"Perhaps, you've been having these nightmares because you've been thinking about them day and night."

"No, that dream seemed too real to ignore!"

I retorted without conscious thought.I clenched my fists and wiped the sweat from my forehead.

"Don't worry, Skylar.Mr.Jones is no mere lycan.They will be fine."

Jerome heaved a deep sigh.

Perhaps Jerome was right, but I couldn't help feeling worried.

"Why don't you lie down and I'll ask someone to get you a glass of hot milk?"

Jerome tucked me in before he got out of bed.

I knew that I shouldn't have reacted like an emotionally unhinged person, especially since I was pregnant.

I decided to put the negative thoughts out of my mind and lie down.

However, as soon as I closed my eyes, I saw them again.

The image of them being crushed by the weight of the giant mass of snow forced my eyes open again.

Anthony and Jennifer were lying with their arms wrapped around each other, almost as if they were in deep sleep.

For some reason, my instincts were telling me that if no one woke them up, they would stay dead forever.

I sat up straight and screamed Jerome's name as loud as I could.

"Jerome, I saw them again.It's not just a dream! It can't be!"

As I grabbed Jerome's hand.I didn't realize that tears were falling from my eyes.

"What is it? What's happened to you?"

Jerome ran back as fast as he could and wrapped me in his arms.

I felt sorry for him because I could tell by the look in his eyes that he was absolutely terrified because he didn't know what was happening to me.

"Ah!"

I felt a slight burning sensation in my wrist before the pain suddenly escalated and forced a screech out of my throat.

I glanced at my arm to find a hexagram burned into my skin.

To add to my confusion and astonishment, the mark flickered like a dying star.

"What's this, Skylar? You didn't have this mark before!"

Jerome's eyebrows shot up in bewilderment when she looked at the hexagram mark.

"I don't know, but I think it might have something to do with my special powers," I stammered in a low voice.

"What if my dream wasn't just a dream, but a vision of the future? I've heard that vampires have the ability to see other people's future through their dreams..."

"Let's not jump to conclusions before we grasp what's really happening to you, Skylar.As far as I'm concerned, your visions might just be nothing more than dreams."

Jerome managed to soothe my fears with his words.

I hoped so.I cried in his arms for a while.I sincerely hoped that nothing bad would happen to Jennifer and Anthony.

Jerome's POV:

I tried my best to comfort Skylar.

Fortunately, she managed to calm down after a while.

I was starting to feel nervous back there.

Where did the mark on Skylar's wrist come from? I guessed that whatever it was, it probably had something to do with her vampire bloodline.

What if she was right about her dreams being a vision of the future? The mere thought of it gave me chills.

On the one hand, I was afraid that if Skylar were to manifest more powers, then it would only get harder to keep her hidden from the other werewolves of our pack.

On the other hand, I couldn't help but worry about Jennifer as well.

"Jerome, I can't stop thinking about Jennifer and Mr.Jones.Can you call and check up on them for me? I just need to know that they're safe and then I'll be able to forget about my dreams."

Skylar burst into tears as she held my hand and begged me.

"Skylar, just try to relax.I'm calling them right now!"

I quickly took out my phone and dialed Jennifer's number.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is not available."

Skylar and I stared at the phone quietly and after a minute, we received a response from the automated voice.

I didn't say a word and dialed Anthony's number.

No one answered the call either.

I tried calling his number a few times, but I couldn't get through to them.

This time I was starting to feel nervous because at least one of them should have answered their phone by now.

The only other conclusion was that they had reached the top of the snow mountain and it was a known fact that the reception at the top of the snow mountain was almost non-existent due to such a high altitude.

However, even that seemed unlikely as they couldn't have reached the peak of the mountain in such a short time.

My heart sank in an instant.

Skylar screamed and she tried to get out of bed.

"No! Jerome, I'm going to the snow mountain to look for Jennifer.Something must have happened to them.I need to help them before it's too late!"

"Skylar!"

I quickly pulled her down.

I couldn't indulge her spontaneity because it seemed as though she had completely forgotten about her own health.

"How can you go to the snow mountain? Have you forgotten that you're pregnant? Calm down, Skylar.I'll have a word with Elder Tony first.He will know what to do!"

I kissed Skylar's forehead, hoping that it would calm her down.

It seemed to have worked as she finally stopped struggling.

I took a deep breath as I gathered my thoughts and called in a maid to look after Skylar.

"I'm going to look for Elder Tony.Just stay here and wait until I get back, okay? I promise I will let you know as soon as I have some news.Rest assured, I won't let anything happen to Jennifer and Mr.Jones."

I coaxed Skylar as if she was a little baby.

"All right.I promise I won't do anything stupid."

Skylar wiped her tears.

"I was just being anxious, but I know that being anxious isn't going to help solve the problem."

What a sensible girl! I bid her farewell and then left to look for Tony at once.

Much to my surprise, as soon as I opened the door, I saw Tony running towards me with a panicked expression on his face.

"Elder Tony, what are you doing here?"

My instincts were telling me that something bad was going to happen.

"Alpha Jerome, I have some bad news!"

Tony bowed respectfully to me.

"I discovered something strange when I was observing the stars tonight.In my deep meditation, I saw Jennifer and Mr.Jones facing a terrible danger in the snow mountain!"

Tony's words seemed to have sent shock waves through my body as if I had just been struck by lightning.

"I wasn't sure what to make of my visions, but I thought to let you know just in case."

Elder Tony sighed.

"Alpha Jerome, what are you going to do? Are you going to contact the royal family now?"NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
