Chapter 322: Skylar's Identity Revealed

Thomas's POV:

The second I saw the hexagram mark on Skylar's wrist, I immediately suspected that she might be the
daughter of King Aldrich, who had been sent away when she was but a baby.

That was why I deliberately told Skylar about the king's past and how he missed his long lost daughter,
hoping to convince Skylar to tell me the truth.

As expected, soon Skylar admitted that she was of mixed-blood.She really was our vampire princess! I
was ecstatic.

I had always adored our king, hoping that one day he would find his daughter.

Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that she was right under my nose this whole time!
However, to my disappointment, even though Skylar finally admitted her identity, she still didn't want to
go back to vampire territory to meet Aldrich.

Unconvinced, I tried to persuade her.

"Skylar, it's been a long time.Maybe King Aldrich didn't want to abandon you.Are you angry of him?
Whether you want to take the throne or not, I think it'll be a good idea for you to meet him and
talk.Maybe things aren't what you think.But Skylar shook her head firmly.

"No, Thomas, I already made up my mind when I found out that I have special power.I swore that I
would never choose to be a vampire.It was werewolves who raised me.I can't let my adoptive parents
down, though they're already in heaven.So I can't go back to the vampires' territory with you!"

Seeing the fierce expression on Skylar's face, I sighed and gave up.

"Okay, I respect your opinion.Skylar.We are friends.I won't tell anyone about your little secret."



"Thank you, Thomas.Please don't let any vampire find out about my relationship with the Dracula Clan,
and don't let them know that I'm on Rube Island.I'm afraid that they will forcibly take me back if they
find out the truth."

Skylar looked at me with pleading eyes which were puffy from her crying.I quickly knelt on one knee
and took Skylar's hand.

"Skylar, you don't have to act like this.Although you don't recognize the vampire king as your father, for
me, you are already our princess, as well as my friend.I'll do everything in my power to protect
you.Don't worry.I swear that I will never reveal your secret!"

Skylar seemed a little surprised, but soon she finally smiled and said, "You don't have to act like this,
Thomas.I believe you.Thank you.Jerome and I also consider you our good friend."

"Yes.I will be very grateful if you are willing to help us keep the secret, Thomas."

Jerome held Skylar with a firm expression.

"As long as Skylar doesn't want to, I won't let her go back to the vampires' territory, no matter what."

I could tell from Jerome's words that he was being serious.I stood up and smiled.

"I will keep my promise.As much as I wanted Skylar to come with me to see Aldrich, I wasn't Skylar.I
didn't know what she had gone through over the years, so I had no right to force her.I glanced at my
watch and winked at them.

"It's getting late.I should go back now.Thank you for your hospitality.Skylar, Jerome, I'll just pretend as if
nothing happened today."

"Oh, don't go.Let's have dinner first.Since you're willing to help me keep my secret, we owe you!"



Skylar clasped my hand and looked at me gratefully.

"That's right.Plus, I just said I wanted you to taste my specialty.Stay and share a meal with us before
you leave!"

As Jerome spoke, he was already walking towards the kitchen.

There, he slipped on an apron and smiled brightly.

"I've already prepared the ingredients.The food will be ready soon."

I thought that Jerome and Skylar might not want me to stay after such an emotional episode, so I
offered to leave.I didn't expect them to want me to stay, which made me warm and happy.

"Okay!" I replied with a smile, knowing that I had made two good friends.

Soon, delicious scents wafted over from the kitchen.

Not long after, Jerome served the food on the table and we all sat down to eat together.

As we enjoyed the food, I reiterated my stand to Jerome and Skylar.

"I'm a vampire, but I don't want to make enemies with werewolves, nor do I discriminate mixed-
bloods.On the contrary, I find that mixed-bloods are very powerful, since they carry both the strength of
werewolves and the special power of vampires, combining the advantages of the two races."

"Oh, that's kind of you to say, Thomas."

Skylar's cheeks turned bright red and her smile turned timid as I praised her.

"Thanks for letting us know, Thomas.Actually, to tell you the truth, I used to be the Alpha of the
Rainbow Pack, while Skylar was my Luna.However, when Skylar's identity was revealed, we took the



initiative to give up our positions and fled,"

Jerome confessed to me honestly.

I was a little surprised, but then I couldn't help but burst into laughter while they chuckled alongside me.

The three of us shared a wonderful meal.I glanced around the table at my two newfound friends,
thankful to have met them.

Jerome's POV:

After dinner, Skylar and I walked Thomas to the street.

"Bye, Jerome and Skylar! I promise I will help you keep your secret.Don't worry.I'm a man of my word."

Thomas waved at us with a bright smile.

Hearing Thomas' sincere words, I was moved.He was such a nice vampire.

"Thomas is living proof that not all vampires are evil!" Skylar said to me with a sigh.

I echoed with her, "I agree."

Then we headed back inside the house and began to clean the tableware."Let me help you,
Jerome.You must be tired after cooking up a storm."

Skylar came over to help, but I stopped her.With a smile, I led her to the sofa and made her sit down.

"No, you don't have to do this.Just take care of yourself and our baby, Skylar."

Skylar held my arm and sighed.



"I hope we can continue to live our peaceful life here, Jerome."

I kissed her forehead reassuringly.

"We will, honey.We will be happy forever."

Then, I proceeded to clean the house while Skylar took out her phone to call Jennifer.As I washed the
dishes, I listened to their conversation quietly.

"Hey, Jennifer, you'll never guess what happened to us today..."

Skylar relayed everything that had happened between us and Thomas over the phone.

"I don't want to become the vampire princess.I just want to live a carefree life with Jerome and our
child."

After chatting for a while, Skylar hung up the phone and raised her voice to call me.

"Jerome, Jennifer told us not to worry too much.If anything comes up, we should call her.If the
vampires really show up to take me back, we can find another place to live.But the truth is, I like it
here.I hope nothing bad happens."

I dropped what I was doing and hurried to her side.

"Honey, don't worry.Thomas said he wouldn't tell anyone."

Nestled in my arms, Skylar smiled.

"I know, Jerome.I think it's amazing, actually.Growing up an orphan, I never would've imagined that I
was the daughter of the vampire king.It feels like a dream, but I feel oddly relaxed, knowing that
worrying is useless."



I looked at Skylar tenderly and murmured, "My Skylar has grown up."

As I spdéke, I bent over and pressed her against the sofa, kissing her affectionately.

"Jerome, I love you.I'm so glad I have you.Only in this way can I hold on,"

Skylar whispered in my ear.

"You are everything to me."

My heart melted and I looked into her eyes lovingly.She was also my everything.No matter who she
was— vampire princess or not—I would protect her forever.
