Outcast: The Alpha King’s Beloved

Jennifer’s POV: 

As Anthony and I were eating dinner, a maid suddenly walked up to me.

“Mrs.Jones, Amelia wishes to see you,” she reported politely.

Amelia had texted me earlier, saying that she was going to meet Larry this evening.

Frankly, I was just relieved to hear that she had come back safe and sound.

“Invite her here!” I said hurriedly.

Anthony overheard what the maid had said and stood up.

He went to the door of the dining room with me to receive Amelia.

“Jennifer!”

Amelia rushed in breathlessly.Her cheeks were rosy pink, her eyes twinkled, and she wore an excited smile.

“I did it! I drugged Larry!”

My jaw nearly dropped to the floor.I couldn’t believe what I had just heard.

Larry was drugged! Everything was moving as we had expected.I immediately reached for Amelia’s hands and

squeezed them excitedly.

“That’s wonderful news, Amelia! You’re awesome! I can’t believe it!”

But then, her face fell.

“I don’t mean to dash your hopes, Jennifer, but I noticed that Larry didn’t react after ingesting the drug.What if it

doesn’t work?”

Anthony stepped in to comfort her.

“Don’t worry, Amelia.Morgan told me that it will take a while before the drug takes effect.At first, the victim will

experience no symptoms, but as time passes, the effect will be more and more evident.In the end, the magic

energy of the drugged wizard will become weaker and weaker, maybe even to a point where he can’t use magic

ever again.”

“Oh, I see,” Amelia murmured.

She still had a worried look on her face.

“But I’m still worried that Larry will notice when his power starts to fade and that he’ll develop an antidote.When he

figures out that he was drugged, he’ll know I did it.He’ll definitely find a chance to take revenge!”

As Amelia spoke, fear filled her big eyes.I looked at her sympathetically, fully understanding where she was coming

from.

After all, Larry had imprisoned and tortured her for decades.I was already amazed that she had plucked up the

courage to face him time and time again.

“Don’t worry, Amelia.Larry isn’t that powerful.Even if he found out that he was drugged, his magic energy would

have almost faded away by then.If we all work together, we’ll definitely be able to subdue him then.”

I patted her gently on the back, trying to comfort her.

Fortunately, it seemed to work somewhat.

Amelia’s furrowed brows gradually relaxed and she smiled at us.

“Thank you, Jennifer.You’re right.I shouldn’t worry too much.”

“I think everything from here on out will be much easier to handle.”

I smiled back at her warmly.

“Amelia, when the magic drug on Larry starts to take effect and his magic energy decreases, can you contact him?

We need to lure him out of his hiding spot.The rest of us will be hiding in the shadows.When he shows up, we’ll fight

together and defeat him.”

“Okay, Jennifer.Just tell me what to do.You’re very clever.”

Amelia nodded in agreement and looked at me gratefully.

I quickly waved my hand and shook my head.

“No, no.I won’t dare to take credit.You’re the one we should be thanking, Amelia!”

“She’s right, Amelia,”Anthony echoed.

“We wouldn’t have come this far without you.Thank you so much for your help.”

“Oh, I just did what I had to…” Amelia blushed.

“I was the one who got everyone into this predicament after all.”

“Don’t say that, Amelia.That’s not true.”

I comforted her.

“Anyway, it’s getting late.You should go back and get some rest.I’m sorry to ask this, but for the time being, please

continue keeping your distance from Morgan and stay in contact with Larry, lest he suspect anything.”

“Okay.Good night, Jennifer and Mr.Jones,”

Amelia nodded and turned around to leave.

After Amelia left, Anthony and I went back to the dining room to finish our dinner.

As soon as I sat down, Anthony filled our glasses with champagne.

“Jennifer, let’s celebrate.Our plan is ona path to success!” I raised my glass and agreed readily.

“Cheers for Amelia!”

Amelia’s POV: 

On my way back from meeting Jennifer and Anthony, I ran into a strange man in the garden.He suddenly walked

out in front of me from behind the bushes, startling me.

At first, I thought it was Larry.

But when I saw his face clearly, I breathed a sigh of relief.It was a young man I had never seen before.

“Hello,” the young man said to me.

I looked at him, confused.

He seemed to want to something to say to me.

Hesitantly, I asked, “Are you talking to me, sir?”

“Yes! I’m sorry to bother you.I’m Carl, Alpha of the White Lily Pack.Are you the witch named Amelia?” he asked.

It turned out that this stranger knew me, but I had never even heard of him.

As a witch, I wasn’t that familiar with werewolves, but since he said he was an Alpha, I couldn’t just ignore him.

“Yes, that’s me.What can I do for you?” I answered warily.

“Oh…here’s the thing.I heard that you’re a witch that the king and queen personally brought back to the royal

palace.I just wanted to ask you how much you know about black magic.How powerful is black magic? Can it change

someone’s heart?”

Carl looked at me seriously.I looked back at him in surprise.

Black magic? He was a werewolf.

Why on earth was he asking about black magic? I thought his question was very strange, but it was not that difficult

to answer it.

So I said, “Magic only has the power to change someone’s appearance or body.Under no circumstance can it

change one’s heart and soul.The so-called black magic which can forcibly change someone’s mind actually just

turns someone into a walking corpse.Black magic doesn’t change one’s mind; it erases it.”

After he heard what I said, all the color drained from Carl’s face.

“Thank you.I’ll get going now.”

Then, he abruptly turned around and walked towards the other end of the garden.I watched him leave, only to

witness him stumble, as though he was drunk.

“What a freak!” I muttered, rubbing my arms nervously.

Then, I hurried back to my room.

When I was finally safe, I called Morgan.

“Honey, I was able to drug Larry a while ago!”

“What? Really? That’s great!”

Morgan sounded ecstatic.

“You are finally going to be free, my dear Amelia.”

I couldn’t hide my longing for my husband.

“Yes, I’m finally going to be free.Morgan, I miss you so much.I hope we’ll be able to be together soon!”

“We will, honey.I’m willing to wait for you, even if it means waiting forever,” Morgan said softly.

I closed my eyes, savoring his sweet words.

Larry was finally going to pay for all the pain and suffering he had caused me.

And Morgan and I were finally going to have our happy ending.

Spread the love
