Chapter 267: Desperate Skr


    Daniel''s POV:


    I couldn''t help but feel guilty for Skr.


    After all, she only used her special power to save my life.


    Truth be told, I was shocked at first when I found out that she had the special power and that she might


    carry the bloodline of a vampire.


    But on second thought, I realized I had known Skr for a long time.


    She was a kind-hearted she-wolf.


    There was no way she was a vampire spy.


    Then, I found out that Anthony and Jennifer had known for a long time that Skr had her special


    power.They were even trying to cover it up for her.


    Despite this, I figured they had their reasons.I knew from the bottom of my heart that Skr wouldn''t


    hurt a fly.


    She was kind,passionate, and gentle.


    Now that Jerome and Skr were being forced to leave the werewolves'' territory, I felt bad.


    If Skr hadn''t revealed her special power to save me, she and Jerome wouldn''t have been in this


    situation in the first ce.I felt incredibly sorry for Skr.


    She could be a beloved Luna, after all.


    Moreover, who knew when we would see them again after they left? It was all just so depressing.


    "Jerome, take Skr back to the hotel and get some rest," Jennifer suggested.


    "So many things have happened.I''m sure she''s exhausted and overwhelmed.We need to think about


    her baby."


    "She can go back to the hotel, but we have to keep a close eye on her.Mr.Jones, please send more


    guards to watch over her and don''t let her act so freely," an elder said to Anthony.


    "It''s not that I want to make things difficult for Skr, but the mere fact that she might be a vampire is a


    huge threat in itself.None of us can rest easy unless she''s kept under close watch."


    "I understand." Anthony had no choice but to agree, given the circumstances.


    "Come on, honey.Let''s go.Don''t worry.Everything''s going to be fine," Jerome said to Skr softly, and


    they were about to leave.


    "Wait!" Helen rushed forward and threw her arms around Skr.


    "Don''t be afraid.We all believe in you."


    "She''s right. You''ll always be our friend,"


    I chimed in.


    "Thank you, everyone."


    Skr smiled at us, tears welling up in her eyes.


    "I''ll never forget you."


    After that, Skr and Jerome left, escorted by Anthony''s attendants.


    Helen and I watched them leave, hand in hand.


    "Has the problem been solved?"


    Just then, my mother arrived.She looked at everyone expectantly.


    "The hall''s been cleaned already, and I''ve asked the staff to prepare some delicious food for us.Let''s


    have dinner."


    However, her enthusiasm was met with silence.


    The elders and Anthony all shook their heads, which I understood.So much had happened, it was only


    natural no one was in the mood to eat anymore.


    "Oh, I see.Thank you for attending Marlon''s funeral.I''m sorry.It seems Daniel and I didn''t entertain you


    well."


    My mother apologize.


    "It''s not your fault, Luna Betty.What happened today was outside everyone''s control.Such being the


    case, we''ll go back now.Mr.Jones, Ms.Smith, please excuse us."


    The elders bowed towards us respectfully, then left one by one.


    "Mr.Jones, Jennifer, are you guys free? Let''s retire in the living room.There''s something I wanted to talk


    to you two about."


    When they were gone, I turned to Anthony and smiled slightly.


    "I''ll leave you to it."


    My mother seemed to understand I wanted some privacy, and she smiled at me knowingly.


    "There are some things I need to deal with, so I''ll go now.Daniel, be a good host."


    "In that case, I''ll take a walk in the garden," Simon said, taking the hint.


    Soon, Helen and I headed back to the living room with Anthony and Jennifer.


    The four of us settled in and started to discuss.


    Helen''s POV: I followed Daniel into the living room and sank into the sofa.


    Finally, I let out a sigh of relief.


    I had been very anxious for Skr.


    Now that I knew she was going to be okay, I could finally rest easy.


    "Daniel, did you know that Skr had the special power?" I looked at him questioningly.


    "No, I just found out."


    Shaking his head, Daniel looked to Anthony and Jennifer.


    "When did you and Jennifer find out about it? I figured you two already knew, since you''ve been helping


    Skr cover it up."


    "I''m sorry, Daniel, Helen.We''ve known about Skr''s special power for a while now, and we''ve been


    investigating it in secret."


    Jennifer looked at Daniel and me with an apologetic smile.


    "It''s not that we don''t trust you, but we really couldn''t tell anyone about it.The more people who knew,


    the more danger Skr Would be in.So we decided not to tell anyone, not even you two.I''m really


    sorry."


    "Don''t apologize, Jennifer.You did the right thing."


    Daniel tried to make her feel better.


    "Jennifer, when are you guys n to go back to the Rainbow Pack with Skr and Jerome?" I asked.


    "We need to leave as soon as possible, given the urgency of the matter.We can''t dy any longer."


    Jennifer sighed heavily, pressing her fingers to her temple.


    "I was nning to ask you and Mr.Jones to stay a few more days so that we could hang out.We


    would''ve loved it if you attended Daniel''s coronation ceremony."


    I sighed alongside her, sad at the sudden turn of events.


    "My coronation ceremony is not that important.Skr''s problem is our top priority."


    Daniel smiled at me reassuringly.


    "That''s true, of course.I just can''t help but feel sad."

    I nodded and gave him a small smile.


    But thinking about Skr, I couldn''t help but feel bad.


    "Jennifer, how about we go to the hotel to see Skr? She must be very sad."


    "Good idea.Let''s go!"


    Jennifer immediately got on her feet.


    Then, the four of us all went to the hotel to visit Skr and Jerome.


    "Skr, are you there?"


    Jennifer knocked on the door and raised her voice.


    Soon, the door swung open, revealing a worried-looking Jerome.


    "Oh, good, you''re here.Skr''s not doing so well."


    Jerome sighed heavily.


    Jennifer and I rushed into the room to find Skr sobbing on the bed.


    "Oh, my Skr, why are you crying?"


    Seeing her like this, I felt incredibly sorry for her.


    "Jennifer, Helen, I''m so scared!"


    Skr took our hands in hers.


    "I don''t Know where I came from.I''m so scared that I''ll turn into a vampire one day.I really don''t know


    what the future holds for me.Will the problem be solved if Jerome takes me away? What if I be a


    vampire in the future? Will I still be able to control myself? What if I end up hurting Jerome? Oh my


    God, I''m so terrified..."


    "Skr, everything''s going to be okay."


    Jennifer gently touched Skr''s head, stroking her hand softly.


    Wepletely understood where Skr wasing from, but at the same time, I firmly believed that


    she would always be our friend, no matter what.
