Chapter 321: Mixed Blood


    Jerome''s POV:


    I had thought that as long as I took Skr to a ce where no one knew us, we could hide her secret


    forever.


    Little did I know that we would be exposed not long after we moved to Rube Ind.


    Of course, I never expected that we would meet Thomas, a noble vampire.


    Would Skr''s real identity be revealed? I looked at Thomas nervously, with every fiber of my being on


    high alert.I couldn''tpletely trust him.


    Thomas had already seen the mark on Skr''s wrist, so I was at a loss.


    Should I knock him out and then flee Rube Ind with Skr? Although Thomas had promised not to


    tell anyone about it, I couldn''t simply trust someone I had just met, not to mention that he was a


    vampire.


    However, judging from our experience with him so far, Thomas was very friendly and had said many


    times that he saw us as friends.


    Moreover, he had saved Skr''s life.I didn''t want to be hostile to him.


    Caught between a rock and a hard ce, I broke into a cold sweat.


    "I swear I won''t tell anyone your secret," Thomas reiterated, holding his hands up in the air.


    "But Skr, I really don''t understand why you don''t want others to know that you''re a descendant of the


    royal family.The hexagram is a mark exclusive to the most noble of vampires.You should be proud of


    it!"


    Skr shrank behind me and desperately tugged on her sleeve to cover the ursed mark on her


    wrist.


    "No, Thomas, you don''t understand.This mark is the worst thing to have happened to me.I wish it never


    it existed! Thomas''s frown deepened.


    "Skr, didn''t you know? King Aldrich hascked an heir for years.He has always been very worried


    about this.He is afraid that the bloodline of the royal family will end here.That is why I was so shocked


    to find someone with the hexagram mark out here.Skr, if you go back and reveal your identity, the


    king is likely to pass the throne to you!"


    "Wait, Thomas."


    I held up my hand for him to stop.


    "I want to ask you a question.How much do you know about the Drac n? Skr and I know


    nothing about vampires."


    Hearing this, Thomas nodded patiently and began to exin.


    "Aldrich has been leading the Drac n the past few years, but he has neither brothers nor


    children.At present, for the Drac n, the most important matter is to find an heir."


    As Thomas exined, I stared at him nervously, feeling my heart beat faster and faster.


    So, Skr was the heir of the Drac n? Oh, my God! In shock and disbelief, I asked, "Does the


    vampire king really have no heir?"


    Thomas looked at me, then at Skr.


    Suddenly, his eyes lit up with excitement.


    "Oh! They have one now! It''s Skr! An old storyes to mind...It is said that King Aldrich and a she-


    wolf had a daughter, but the royal family rejected the child of mixed blood, so the king had no choice


    but to send the baby girl away as soon as she was born.We haven''t heard anything about what


    happened to the baby after that.But I think he regrets his decision.After all, he ends up with no heir."


    As Thomas spoke, his eyes, which were on Skr, grew wider and wider.


    "Skr, oh, my God! Could you be that mixed-blood baby?!"


    Skr''s POV:


    The more Thomas exined, the moreplicated my feelings grew.


    After so many years, now I finally knew who I truly was.


    No wonder my parents abandoned me.No wonder I carried the characteristics of werewolves and the


    special power of vampires.


    All my previous spections had been put to rest.It turned out that I was really the child of a she-wolf


    and a vampire.


    "Skr, please don''t be scared.I don''t hate werewolves.I really don''t mean you any harm!"


    It was as though Thomas had read my mind.


    He was still holding his hands up, and he took a few cautious steps back.


    "In fact, I''ve heard from my family that the king has been telling those around him that he misses his


    daughter very much and hopes to see her again in his life."


    Hearing this, I couldn''t help but burst into tears.


    He was my father.


    I had never seen my father.


    And he missed me.


    Only God knew how much I wished I could have met my parents, especially when I had no one to rely


    on.


    At the thought of the word "father," I cried so hard that all my defenses crumbled.


    Finally, I raised my head and asked in between sobs, "Thomas, what about my mother? Where is she


    now? Have you ever met her?"


    However, to my disappointment, Thomas shook his head.


    "I''m sorry, Skr.Your mother is a she-wolf after all.I know nothing about her nor have I seen her."


    Although I was disappointed, I couldn''t say I was surprised at his answer.


    "Is it really possible that I''m the daughter the king abandoned? That means I''m not an orphan.I have


    parents! And, Jerome, my father is looking for me!"


    I was too excited to speak coherently.


    Jerome threw his arms around me in a tight hug.


    "I know, Skr.It turns out you aren''t an orphan and your father misses you."

    Thomas looked at us with a big, hopeful smile on his face.


    "Skr, can you tell me what you know?"


    Now that things hade to this point, there was no need for me to hide anything from him anymore.I


    pulled up my sleeve to reveal the hexagram mark on my wrist.


    "It''s true.I carry the bloodline of werewolves.In fact, I was adopted and raised by werewolves.I have the


    keen sense of smell of werewolves and can transform into a wolf.No one doubted my bloodline, and


    even I myself firmly believed that I was a she-wolf.But a few months ago, I suddenly awakened my


    special power, and then this hexagram mark appeared on my wrist out of the blue!"


    As I exined, I was choked with sobs.Jerome gently tucked my hair behind my ear andforted me.


    Then, to Thomas, he exined, "After the werewolves found out about Skr''s special power, they


    refused to ept her.They firmly believed that she was a spy sent by the vampires.We had no choice


    but to leave, and we ended up here on Rube Ind, hoping to avoid any more trouble."


    Thomas'' eyes shed and he took my hand.


    "Skr, would you like toe back with me to see King Aldrich? If you are really his daughter, then


    you''re our princess and everyone will support you! I am more than willing to help you and your father


    meet again."


    I knew he meant well, but I shook my head adamantly.


    "Thomas, thank you for the offer, but I don''t want toe with you.King Aldrich chose to abandon me


    back then, so why would he want me back now? Although I would have loved the idea of meeting my


    biological father very much, once I go to him, I probably can''t be with Jerome anymore."


    As I spoke, I threw myself into Jerome''s arms, tears streaming down my cheeks.


    "I like my life with Jerome now.I just don''t want to be disturbed by anyone or anything else.The most


    important thing now is that I know my origin.But I don''t want to get involved in their war.I just want to


    live a peaceful life with Jerome and our baby on Rube Ind..."


    After saying that, I buried my face in Jerome''s arms and hugged him tightly, unwilling to let go.


    "Don''t cry, honey.Thomas is a good man.He won''t force you."


    Jeromeforted me, whispering into my hair and wiping away my tears.I knew Thomas wouldn''t


    betray me, but I still couldn''t stop crying.Oh, my God! I couldn''t believe I was the f daughter of the


    vampire king.This position was too extraordinary.


    Even if Thomas kept it a secret, I doubted we could live a quiet life on Rube Ind.Was it possible my


    father woulde here for me?
