Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 202

Anthony's POV: 

We searched Larry's house and rummaged through all of his belongings, but we didn't find anything that could lead us to him I was at my wits’ end when suddenly, I heard a voice.

I couldn't believe my ears when I heard the voice at first.

I didn't think that there was someone else in the house.

"Excuse me, are you Larry, the grand wizard? Please show yourself.We only here to talk," I said immediately.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not Larry.I'm an old friend of his.Unfortunately, even I haven't seen him for a long time.Why are you looking for him?" the voice answered quickly.

I was caught by surprise when I realized that the voice belonged to a female.

Frankly, I was a little disappointed because I was really hoping to find Larry.

However, I soon realized that it was better to have run into someone that knew Larry instead of going back empty-handed.

After all, perhaps this woman could help us find Larry.

"Can we speak face to face? It's important that I have a word with Larry as soon as possible." I raised my voice to imply urgency.

There was no response.

For a moment, there was pin-drop silence in the house and I couldn't help but fear the worst.

"All right.Go straight to the window and open the small door across it.Then you can see me," the voice finally responded, much to my relief.

Jennifer and I exchanged glances before we walked forward cautiously.

Lo and behold, there actually was a small door opposite the window.

Clenching my fists with some apprehension, we pushed the small door open.

The moment we saw what was behind the small door, Jennifer and I were stunned.

It was an empty bare room with a single bed inside.

Tied to the bedpost was a middle-aged woman who still looked charming, considering present circumstances.

Her eyes looked weary and sleep- deprived, but she liked very pretty for someone of her age.

I couldn't find the words to respond with because I wasn't expecting to see any of this when I came here looking for Larry.

"Hello, my name is Amelia.I am Larry's lover.I haven't seen the outside world in decades after he imprisoned me here." Amelia's voice was hoarse and weak and she looked up at me beseechingly.

"Please, help me get out of here before Larry gets back!"

 I agreed to her request without hesitation.Amelia's pale face and dried lips told me that she was in distress.

"I haven't eaten anything for days.I don't know where Larry is."

Amelia looked at me sincerely.

"If Larry hadn't given me some magic medicine a few days ago, I would have been dead already."

I tried to untie the rope around her body, but as soon as I touched the rope, a sharp pain seared through my fingers and I drew my hand back almost immediately.

"You can't untie it with your bare hands.Larry has enchanted this rope with black magic," Amelia explained immediately.

"Let me have a try, Mr.Jones." Roy came over and took out his magic wand.

Amelia's POV: 

I never thought I'd see another living soul in Larry's house in this lifetime.I thought that I was going to spend the rest of my life locked up within these four walls.

As such, my heart lit up with hope anew the moment I saw a group of strangers in the house.

I couldn't believe that I was finally going to get out of here.I could help but shed tears of joy and excitement at the thought of finally breaking out of this prison.

After all, Larry had imprisoned me here for decades.

In fact, I regretted nothing more in my life than meeting him in the first place.

Many years ago, when I was a powerful witch, Larry and I fell in love with each other.
