Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 281: Amelia Was Poisoned 

Larry's POV:

Damn it! I hid in a corner of the royal palace and cursed Anthony and his stupid mate from the bottom of my heart.I stifled the urge to snicker with pleasure when I saw the maid bring the parcel I had prepared to Jennifer's room.I was really looking forward to seeing that bitch's expression after she saw the parcel.I imagined her running to Anthony in tears, fraught with fear.

But what could he do to me? I had to show them the consequences of offending me.

If it weren't for them, Amelia wouldn't be with Morgan right now.

Amelia was mine and she could only be mine forever.

It didn't matter if she was dead or alive, I wouldn't allow her to be with anyone else other than me.

I wasn't willing to give up what was mine.

More importantly, Anthony had the blood of my enemy coursing in his veins.

I couldn't let him go.I didn't care that he was able to remove the Love Curse.I had plenty of ways to deal with him.

After all, it was Anthony's father that led an army against my father and killed him.

My father joined forces with the vampires and invaded the territory of the werewolves.

The werewolves were forced to retreat because they were no match for the vampires, but everything changed after Anthony's father went to battle and killed my poor father.

I wanted to crush the skull of the king for what he had done.

Unfortunately, he died before I could get even with him.

However, since Anthony was his favorite son, I decided to exact my revenge by killing him instead.

I wanted revenge! I wanted revenge! I thought that Austin would be able to kill Anthony, so I cooperated with him.I didn't know that the idiot would fail and I would have to go into hiding because of his incompetence.

This time, I would have to kill Anthony and his mate before taking Amelia back.I gritted my teeth in anger.

Thinking of Jennifer and the parcel, I couldn't contain my excitement and decided to go and see Amelia again.

I couldn't let my beloved woman escape.

There were several guards patrolling just outside Amelia's place.

Fortunately, I was invisible to the naked eye thanks to black magic.

Humph! They must have been dreaming if they thought they could catchso easily.

I sneered.

Suddenly, I saw Amelia cout of her room.

Amelia! I stood there with my eyes stuck to her.

She was just as beautiful as she was the last tI saw her.

But the smile on my face quickly froze the moment I saw Morgan walking right behind Amelia.

They were out on a walk again.

Damn it! Damn it! Damn that idiot! I was so jealous when I saw them love each other.

The sight of them walking hand in hand as lovebirds droveup the wall.

I couldn't let go of Amelia.

After all, she toldherself that she loved me.

How could she change her mind about me? Anger contorted my face before a sly grin appeared on my face and I cackled out loud.

Fortunately, it wouldn't be long before she crunning back, beggingto take her back.

I was able to prevent her from escaping in the past by keeping her sedated with poison only I had the antidote to.

'Amelia, my dear, you won't escapeagain.'

Amelia's POV:

Morgan suggested we go out for a walk since I spent most of the day sitting in our room depressed.I agreed because I desperately needed sfresh air.

Hand in hand, Morgan and I walked in the garden, escorted by Anthony's attendants.

It was only because of them that I felt safe to walk around without having to worry about Larry.

No matter how powerful or strong Larry was, he couldn't takeaway in front of so many guards.

Morgan and I chatted and laughed freely.

"Didn't you say that you liked the cakes I made before? I'll make smore for you when I can."

"I am so happy to hear that! I've been craving them for decades," Morgan said happily.

To see Morgan in such a happy state madefeel happy as well.

However, just as I was about to say something, I felt a sudden chill on my back.

For sreason, I felt like I was being watched "Morgan, something doesn't feel right.Is Larry here? Have you seen him?"

My eyes widened as I looked around nervously.

"Don't be afraid, honey.There's no reason for you to be worried.The royal palace is heavily guarded, and Mr.Jones has assigned more guards to patrol the vicinity.You are safe here."

Morgan tried to comfort me.

Unfortunately, I couldn't ignore my apprehension.

It felt as though a poisonous snake was slithering around me, waiting to pounce.

"No! Larry is here! I can sense him!"

I screamed helplessly before I felt dizzy and fell to the ground.

"Amelia! Oh my God! What happened to you?"

Morgan ran over and looked atwith concern.

"Amelia, let's go back."

I nodded and just as I was about to get on my feet, I saw a black shadow in the corner.

"There! It's him.He's here!"

I screamed in horror, but the shadow quickly disappeared.

"Don't be afraid, honey.I'll keep you safe."

Morgan carriedin his arms and tookback to my room.

I was touched by his display of chivalry, but I couldn't help but feel anxious.I grabbed Morgan's arm and said, "Morgan, I can't stop shaking."

"Don't be afraid, honey.I'll fetch the doctor right away! "

Morgan held my hand and said in a hurry.

Without further delay, he left the room and quickly cback with a doctor.

After the doctor ran stests, he looked atwith a frown.

"Your condition is more complicated than I thought.You seem to have been poisoned with skind of nerve poison.I can't be certain how it happened unless I ran smore tests, but I'm sure the poison has been lying dormant in your bloodstream this whole tand it only decided to attack your nervous system just now."

The doctor looked atwith furrowed eyebrows.

I widened my eyes and said, "It has to be Larry! It must be him! He must have poisonedto stop me from running away from him! Oh my God!"

I broke down into tears as soon as I recalled my days of imprisonment and solitude.I tried committing suicide once by not eating, but Larry pried my mouth open with his fingers and forceto eat.

He must have slipped the poison into my food at that time.

Oh, God! When would this nightmare end? Did he wish to seedead? I knew he was the type of person who would rather destroy something he loved than let someone else have it.

"Honey, don't be afraid.I'll find Mr.Jones right away.He won't sit by and do nothing!"

After he heard the doctor's words, Morgan's face turned pale too, but he quickly pulled himself together.

He held my hand and gently comforted me, "You will be fine.Larry only wants to take you back alive.He is not going to kill you."

I looked at Morgan with tears in my eyes and nodded.I knew I had no choice but to turn to Anthony for help.

Did Larry really think he could forceto give up the fight? I wouldn't let him takeback to his lodge even if I had to die.

I would happily choose death over Larry anytime.
