Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 284

Larry's POV: 

Amelia, the woman I had missed so much, was finally in front of my eyes.

It had been torture for me to be separated from her all these days.

In order to find her, I had searched high and low around the world, almost driven crazy by her absence.

I hadn't expected that she was taken away by those idiots.

They had gone too far this time.

We wizards never stuck our nose into werewolves' matters, so how dare they interfere in my business? From the beginning, Amelia was my woman.

I would never allow anyone to take her away from me! Holding Amelia tightly in my arms, I took a deep breath and inhaled the sweet, familiar fragrance of her hair.

My head was buzzing with excitement, and a wide grin spread across my face.

"Honey, you look as charming and beautiful as always.I'm so glad to see you again."

But to my dismay, Amelia didn't hug me back.

Her arms lay stiff at her sides as she looked at me in horror.

"Who are you? Larry, is it you? How did you become like this?"

The fear in her eyes made me pull a long face.

I shouted, "What's wrong, Amelia? Honey, aren't you happy to see me again? Can't you recognize me because of how young I look? You like my handsome face, right? You said it yourself."

It was courtesy of my skilled magic that I was wearing the young and handsome face I currently had.I had deliberately changed my appearance to the way I looked when I was young to remind Amelia that I was her first love.I was confident that she wouldn't be able to forget how much we had loved each other back then.

"You're right, Larry, I did say that.But that was many years ago," Amelia said, shaking her head.

"You might be able to change the way you look with your magic, but you can't turn back time." I subconsciously clenched my jaw and glared at her.

Was she really aware of what she was talking about? "Tell me, why did you ask me to come here?"

As Amelia spoke, she turned her face away, as if she couldn't bear to look at me anymore.

"Are you trying to take me back? Please let me go, Larry. We can't be together again."

"No! I never agreed to break up with you," I roared.

"You have no choice.If you don't go back with me, I'll turn the whole palace upside down.I'll kill Morgan, Anthony, Jennifer, and everyone else you care about!"

"No! You can't kill him!" Amelia screamed.

Hearing how worried she was about Morgan sent a sharp stab of fury through me.I reached out and pinched her neck.

"Ah, just like I thought, you're refusing to go back with me because of that fool, aren't you? You must be dreaming.Amelia, don't forget that there's poison running through your veins.If you don't do as I say and come with me, you might as well count down the days to your death."

What an ungrateful woman! I had poured so much time and effort into scouring the earth to find her, but here she was, happily in love with another man.

I would make her understand the price of betraying me.

Amelia's POV: 

Now that Larry was actually standing in front of me and talking to me, the image of him I had in my head as an untouchable phantom faded, and my fear of him dissipated along with it.

I took a deep breath to steady my mind.I knew that I couldn't escape from Larry.

He would take me away and torture me to death.

From the beginning, I knew that I had to face him sooner or later; it was just a matter of when.I refused to give in to my fate.

In the past, I had lived a life of gloom and darkness.I was numb and detached from reality, like a walking corpse.

I was too weak to even make a sound.

Larry threw his head up and laughed when he saw me like this, as if the sight of me in agony truly brought him joy.

"Oh, honey, this is what happens when you disobey me."

Then, without warning, he took out a pill from his pocket and stuffed it into my mouth.

My first instinct was to spit it out, but he pinched my chin and forced me to swallow it.

The pain in my body was immediately relieved.

"The drug that you're poisoned with was personally concocted by me.It is not fatal.But if don't take the antidote once a month, you will suffer a fate worse than death."

Larry couldn't help but laugh harder as he spoke.

"Honey, do you really think you have another choice? I'm the only one who knows how to make the antidote."

"Humph!" I sneered at him, squaring my shoulders.

"Do you think that I'm as scared of death as you are? I don't give a damn! I would die long before I give in to you!"

Larry's laughter finally ceased, and his face darkened.He pinched my chin again and shot daggers at me with his eyes.

"You don't have to make the decision so soon, honey! I'll give you a month to think about it.Of course, nothing's going to change, so you might as well agree right now.The choice is yours.If you don't agree to what I say, I'll kill Morgan.But if you go with me, I'll spare his life."

After saying that, Larry's hold on me loosened, and he took a few steps back before vanishing.I looked around in a daze.

"Larry? Larry, where are you? Come back!"

It seemed that he had disappeared without a trace.I continued to stand rooted to the spot, looking at the empty garden with complicated feelings and touching my bruised neck.I didn't know what to do.

If Larry was really going to attempt to kill Morgan, was I strong enough to stop him?
