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.
