Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 167

Jennifer's POV: 

I had difficulty sleeping recently because I was worried about the curse that had been placed on Anthony.

One morning, I texted Jeff.

"I'm sorry to bother you again, but I need your help.Roy said that a wizard had cast a spell on Anthony.However, he couldn't figure out which spell had been cast.He could only give us the contact information of other wizards and advise us to visit them one by one.I will forward you the information so that you could look at it as well."

Not long after I sent the message, Jeff replied, "I happen to know a witch named Cynthia.I can take you to see her, but I don't know if she can remove the curse on Mr.Jones."

I told Jeff to go ahead with setting an appointment.

We made plans to see Cynthia together.

Like most wizards, Cynthia lived in a remote place.

It took us some time before we found her.

"Hello, Cynthia.We came here today to ask for your help.My mate seems to have a curse on him, but we don't know how to break it.Could you help us figure out exactly what the curse is so that we could find a solution?"

"Was it Roy who told you about me? He gave me a heads-up regarding this matter."

Cynthia looked at us with a serious expression.

"Yes, it was Roy who suggested that we come here, " Jeff replied.

"In that case, let's not waste any more time.Come in."

The witch warmly invited us into her house.

Anthony and I looked at each other before entering her abode.

Cynthia had simple furnishings, and she made Anthony lie down on the bed.

She then inspected him several times using black magic.

About half an hour later, Cynthia shook her head with a regretful expression.

"I'm sorry.I can't figure what kind of curse has been put on him, but there are traces of magic in his blood.You'll have to ask another spell-caster for help."

"How is that possible?"

I was greatly disappointed.

What kind of curse did Anthony have? Why was it unidentifiable that most wizards and witches could not figure out how to break it? 

"Don't be sad, Jennifer.Roy gave you the contact information of many wizards, right? Surely, one of them can help us solve this problem," Jeff told me.

"But the next wizard on the list lives far away.Let's go another day.I'll be fine.Don't worry."

Anthony got up from the bed and held my hand.

Even though he said that to reassure me, I still felt worried about him.

I didn't want anything bad to happen to Anthony ever again.

"Ordinary wizards might not be of much help to you.You should find Larry, a grand wizard.He is currently the most powerful one among us," Cynthia suggested.

"Do you know where this Larry lives, Cynthia?" I asked.

"That I do not know.Sorry."

Cynthia shook her head helplessly.

"Larry is very mysterious.Only a few people have seen him."

"That's okay.Thanks anyway for your help today." I bowed to Cynthia.

"I haven't really done anything to help, but you're welcome."

I hope you can find Larry soon so that you can break the curse on your mate.We bid Cynthia goodbye and then left her residence.

Anthony's POV: 

"Jeff, do you know Larry, the grand wizard?" Jennifer asked on our way back.

"To be honest, his name has come up before.Larry is allegedly the most powerful wizard alive, but he rarely appears in public.Only a few people have seen him in person so I don't know where he lives or how he can be located.I'm sorry I can't be of help." Jeff sighed.

"That's fine.You have already helped us a lot.Thank you, Jeff," Jennifer told him.

"You know you can come to me if you need any help.I'll head back first.Good luck in your search for Larry."

"Thanks again."

After Jeff left, Jennifer and I went home together.

As soon as we arrived, I ordered my attendants to search for Larry's residence and contact information.

After doing that, I found Jennifer on the bed.

She was sitting on it, and she seemed to be in a daze.

"Honey, everything will be okay.Look at me.I'm still fine, right?" 

I hugged Jennifer.

I really did not want her to worry about me.

She had been losing weight ever since she decided to deal with the pack's affairs.

It made me feel sorry for her.

"I feel useless, Anthony.Even though you're facing many difficulties, I can't be of any help to you."

Jennifer leaned against me with a sad expression on her lovely face.

"What are you talking about? How can you say that you're useless? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to live this long.Jennifer, you are the light of my life."

"Well, you are my most important person and the owner of my heart.No matter what kind of curse it is, we are going to find a solution."

Jennifer's expression became determined.
