Chapter 268: The Dracula Clan

Jerome's POV:

Seeing Skylar like this broke my heart.She was such a kind girl—-why did God have to make her suffer so much? "Skylar, don't be sad.Just think about our baby."

Heartbroken, I hugged her tightly and tried to comfort her.

"I swear to Moon Goddess that I will protect you.Skylar, it doesn't matter toif you're a werewolf or a vampire; I'll never leave you.You're my mate.No one can separate us.I love you."

"Oh, Jerome..."

Tears welled up in Skylar's eyes.She threw herself into my arms and huggedtightly.

"You two are so sweet!"

Seeing how I treated Skylar, Helen burst into tears.

"Don't worry, Skylar.Jerwill always be there for you."

"She's right, Skylar.You have to trust Jerome,"

Jennifer chimed in, patting Skylar on the shoulder.

"Oh, also, I've asked Anthony to check out the totems of the major vampire clans.Maybe we'll find out where you cfrom soon."

Gradually, Skylar calmed down.I wiped away her tears gently.

"Jennifer, the truth is, I'm torn.I want to know where I cfrom, but I'm scared to find out if I'm really a descendant of vampires.I don't know what to do."

Skylar sighed and held out her wrist with the hexagram mark.

"How I wish this was all just a dream!"

Daniel's and Helen's eyes widened when they saw the mark on Skylar's wrist.

They were kept in the dark with regards to Skylar's special power, so this was the first tthey had seen the hexagram mark.

"Wait a second! Skylar, I think I've seen that mark somewhere before,"

Daniel suddenly said, staring hard at Skylar's wrist.

"What? Are you serious, Daniel? Where did you see it?"

I was so excited that I looked at Daniel expectantly, hoping that slight would be shed on the situation.

"Letthink..."

Daniel scratched his chin, deep in thought.

Suddenly, he snapped his fingers excitedly.

"I once fought with a vampire.If my memory servesright, that vampire cfrom the Dracula Clan.It is said that every vampire from their clan has that very shexagram mark!"

‘'The Dracula Clan?’' I had a bad feeling about this.

"Daniel, are you sure about this?" Anthony asked suddenly, his voice tense.

He looked at Daniel seriously.

"The vampire king is a Dracula.Those who share his last nare all members of the royal family."

"The royal family of the vampires?"

All the color drained from Skylar's face and I felt her hand in mine go stiff.

"It's okay, Skylar.Don't worry."

I patted her on the back softly to comfort her.

"This hexagram is the Dracula Clan's mark.I've seen it before."

Daniel nodded, gesturing at Skylar's wrist.

"Coincidentally, my men have just collected the totems of the well-known vampire clans."

Anthony was staring at his phone screen as he spoke.

Then, he showed it to everyone.

"Look, this is the representative totem of the Dracula Clan.Does it look like the hexagram on Skylar's wrist?"

Hearing this, I immediately raised Skylar's wrist and carefully compared the mark on her skin with the picture on the phone screen.

Suddenly, I gasped in shock.

They were really alike—no, they were exactly the same!

"Oh, my God!" Skylar exclaimed.

"How could this be possible?"

Everyone was shocked.

Did Skylar actually have something to do with the royal family?

"This can't be real! I can't believe I'm related to the royal family! I'm doomed.Will the royal family let me live freely? Or will they cto me? Will they dragback to vampires' territory?"

Skylar covered her mouth with her hand, trembling in fear.

"Honey, calm down.I won't let it happen," I said soothingly, pulling her into my arms.

"Jerome, I'm so scared.I don't want to know about my parents anymore.Let's just leave it, okay? Plus, everyone knows about my special power now.I can't stay on the werewolves' territory anymore.Let's leave this place."

Skylar huggedsadly, burying her head in my arms.

"But Skylar, this could all just be a huge misunderstanding," Helen said hurriedly, looked at her friend with concern.

"Let Mr.Jones and Jennifer investigate further.It's better than knowing nothing."

"No! I don't want to investigate anymore. I don't want to know! I don't want to have anything to do with the royal family.I just want to be an ordinary she-wolf and live a peaceful life with Jerome!"

Skylar yelled hysterically.

"Okay, Skylar.We'll drop the investigation, if that's what you really want."

Jennifer hurried over to comfort Skylar.

"It's up to you."

"Jennifer, I'm so scared.If I really carry the bloodline of the royal family, will they takeback?"

Sniffling, Skylar looked at Jennifer with terror-filled eyes.

"Hush.Don't worry.They abandoned you when you were a child, which means they won't take you back.They probably don't even remember you!"

Jennifer comforted Skylar in a soothing voice.

"She has a point, Skylar.Even if they wanted to take you back, they wouldn't be able to find you.As long as we hide our tracks well, you'll be safe."

I echoed with Jennifer.

"Okay.Thank you, everyone, for being there for me.I will try my best to cheer up."

Skylar wiped her tears with the back of her hand and smiled.

Seeing her like this, I felt both sad yet relieved.

Skylar was getting stronger and wiser.

"Now that that's settled, let's prepare to leave for the Rainbow Pack tomorrow.We can discuss what we'll do next later," Anthony said.

"What? You're leaving so soon? Tflies so fast!"

Helen lowered her head sadly.

"I would've wanted to have you here for a few more days.I don't want to part with you, Skylar and Jennifer."

"I don't want to leave either." Skylar looked sad and hugged Helen tightly.

"But we will see each other again, I promise.Even if it seems impossible, I'll find a way to see you again!"

"Take care, Jerome.I'll miss you guys.If you need anything, just giveand Helen a call."Daniel stood up and shook my hand firmly.

"I will.Thanks, buddy," I answered with a smile, shaking his hand back.

"By the way, Helen, would you know if Elder Simon going to join us tomorrow?" I asked.

"Actually, I was hoping to ask Dad to stay in the Black Stone Pack for a few more days."

Helen slipped her hand into Daniel's and smiled.

"After everything that's happened, I'd like to spend more twith him.So I don't think he'll be going with you to the Rainbow pack.

"Okay.I understand." I nodded and smiled back at her.

"The pack has other elders.Elder Simon doesn't need to rush home."

Just then, I noticed that Skylar's face was still ghostly pale.

"Skylar, what's wrong? Is it morning sickness again?" I asked worriedly.

"No, I'm fine.I'm just a little tired," Skylar replied with a weak smile.

"Jerome, take good care of Skylar, okay? We won't take up any more of your time.Please get some rest, both of you."

Seeing how exhausted Skylar looked, Anthony stood up, followed by Jennifer.

"We'll be heading out, too.Jerome, again, if you need anything, just let us know.We'll help you."

Helen smiled.

Daniel also nodded in agreement.

After exchanging goodbyes, they left for their own rooms to get ssleep.

After closing the door behind them, I turned to Skylar.

"Honey, are you okay? Do you need to see a doctor?"

She was lying in the bed dejectedly.

I sat down next to her and stroked her hair.

"Don't worry, Jerome.I'm fine.Just tired."

Skylar struggled to sit up from the bed and forced a smile.

"I don't want to think about the future, Jerome.But...What if I really am related to the royal family of vampires? That'll be crazy! My family and Mr.Jones' are enemies!"

Tears streamed down Skylar's cheeks as she smiled bitterly.

I felt my heart ache for her.

What a silly girl! I knew she had been trying to suppress her sadness in front of her friends.

"Just cry if you need to, Skylar.It's okay.You'll be fine.I'm here for you.Although I'm not as strong as Mr.Jones, I'll always protect you.Besides, we'll never have to fight him.We'll always be friends, I just

know it."

I cupped Skylar's cheek and leaned in to plant a kiss on her lips.

"Jerome, I'm so glad I have you."

Finally, Skylar's wry smile turned genuine, and she kissedback gently.

"I love you, Skylar,"

I murmured, nibbling on her lip gently.

"I love you too, Jerome."

Skylar's voice was sweet, like fresh honey.
