Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 353: The Decisive Moment 

Amelia's POV:

My whole way back to the royal palace, I was gripped with trepidation.It was not until I stepped past the palace gate that I finally felt a sense of relief.

Until then, I had been afraid that Larry would suddenly appear in front ofand takeaway.

When I thought of what had happened with Larry this time, a chill ran down my spine, and a bad foreboding arose in my mind.I couldn't help but worry that Larry had seen through me.

Right before I left, he had sternly toldthat there was a limit to his patience.

Ever since I pretended to agree to be with him, this was the first tthat he had gotten so serious with me.

Although he had shown his impatience before, he had always been thoughtful of my feelings and had never said anything harsh to me.

So what had changed? Had he discovered something? Had I failed to hide my tracks well enough? No, that couldn't be it.

If he had really found something, he wouldn't have letgo.

Larry had probably said that he was running out of patience because he was eager to leave withas soon as possible.

This conclusion put my mind at ease, but only for a moment.

Then, my heart rose to my throat again.

If things went on like this, I was afraid that Larry would suddenly lose his mind and takeaway.

The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became.I was frightened to the bone.What should I do? I didn't want to be dragged away by Larry again.

Not only had Larry's energy declined considerably, but he had also gotten injured while trying to cast the spell today.He had never been weaker before.

If we could seize this opportunity to get rid of Larry, my werewolf friends and I would finally be able to live without worrying about him.

To be honest, I didn't want to disturb Anthony and Jennifer as I knew how busy they were.

However, this matter was of great importance.

If I delayed informing them about this, what if something went wrong? After weighing the pros and cons, I took a deep breath and called a maid over.

"Tell Queen Jennifer that I have something to tell her."

After reporting to Jennifer, the maid ledinto her residence.

Jennifer was lounging on the sofa, reading a newspaper.

As soon as she lifted her head and saw me, her lips curved up into a smile.

"Amelia, have a seat.What's up? How have you been these days?"

Suppressing the excitement in my heart, I sat opposite her and tried to keep my voice as steady as possible.

"Thank you for your concern, Jennifer.I'm fine.I just wanted to tell you that I met Larry today.And he got injured!"

Jennifer immediately put down the newspaper and narrowed her eyes at me.

"Amelia, what happened? Telleverything."

Nodding fervently, I said in one breath, "Larry's condition has really worsened.He's not able to use magic like before.Today, he tried to cast a high-level spell and ended up injuring himself.Jennifer, I don't think we can delay our plan any longer.Now is the best tto catch Larry.What's more, he expressed his impatience withtoday.I'm worried that he has already found out that I drugged him..."

I thought of the cold glint in Larry's eyes when he looked atearlier.

The fear I felt in that moment still lingered within me.

After hesitating for a moment, I added, "I'm really scared that he will cand takeaway!"

"I see." Jennifer frowned.

"It sounds really urgent.Don't worry, Amelia.Nothing will happen to you as long as you're here.Anthony will be back soon.I'll discuss it with him the moment I see him."

"Jennifer, I'm not doubting your abilities nor King Anthony's, but I think that there is strength in numbers." I was so nervous that my voice trembled as I spoke.Jennifer stood up and took out her phone.

"You're right.I'll ask Anthony to call Roy and Morgan here."

Pressing the phone receiver to her ear, Jennifer said, "Hello, Anthony.It's an emergency.

Larry got injured today, and Amelia thinks that this is the best tto Jaunch an attack on him."

Soon after the phone call, King Anthony, Roy, and Morgan arrived.

It had been days since I last saw Morgan, and I couldn't help but feel thrilled.

He seemed to share my sentiments, because he flasheda bright smile before quickly sitting down next to me.

"How are things going with Larry?" Anthony asked after everyone took their seat.

Without skipping a beat, I repeated what I had said to Jennifer earlier.

Everyone was pleased to hear these words.

"Great!" Roy sighed.

"This is the result of our joint efforts, but especially you, Amelia.You have made a great contribution."

"Honey, I know it's hard for you."

Morgan held my hand and comforted me.I shook my head, but a lump formed in my throat.

"I'm fine, but you have suffered a lot, honey."

Morgan and I hadn't been able to meet for a long time.I missed him so much.I really hoped that after dealing with Larry, we would never have to be apart from each other again.

Jennifer's POV:

Seeing that everyone was here, I spoke out my thoughts first.

"I think Amelia's worries are reasonable, but right now, a full-blown war between us and the vampires is on the verge of breaking out.I don't think that this is the tto deal with Larry.We need to focus our attention on the impending war."

"Jennifer, you're right, but an opportunity like this might never cagain.Larry is at his weakest now, and he's within our reach.We should seize this opportunity to capture him," Anthony said, shaking his head.

"And the longer we put off our plan, the higher the chances of Larry finding out that he has been drugged.If he figures out a way to recover himself to his original strength, it will be difficult for us to deal with him."

Sitting next to Amelia, Morgan nodded in agreement.

"That's right.And every tAmelia has to meet him, she's putting herself in danger.I don't want her to take any more risks."

"I agree," Roy chipped in.

"Today's the day.Let's gather our people now and defeat Larry in one go."

"All right.Can you call the other wizards to help us?" Anthony asked.

Roy nodded.

"My wizard friends are all here on standby."

Morgan seemed to be confident too.

"I've been practicing magic recently in order to deal with Larry, and I believe I've reached my best state."

Hearing all their input convincedtoo.

"Okay.But how are we going to lure Larry out?"

"I'll take care of it.I'll contact him and ask him to seetomorrow," Amelia replied.

Anthony rested his forehead on his hand, lost in thought.

Then, he said solemnly, "Ask him to meet you in the garden in the royal palace.I will clear the place in advance and arrange our people nearby so that they can capture Larry at the right time.We can't let him escape."

"Okay, Mr.Jones," Amelia said in a hurry.

I was worried about Amelia, so I reminded her, "Amelia, be careful.Don't say or do anything to give yourself away.If Larry suspects anything, he will be on guard."

"I will try my best, Jennifer," said Amelia.

"That's settled then.Amelia will contact Larry and informwhen the tof their meeting is fixed."

After saying that, Anthony stood up and waved at Morgan and the others.

"Thank you, everyone.You can go back to prepare for tomorrow."

"Okay."

With that, Roy, Morgan, and Amelia left.

"What should we do now?" I asked, looking at Anthony.

"I'll summon the royal guards and ask them to conceal themselves in every corner of the garden tomorrow to capture Larry," Anthony said, taking out his phone.

As usual, he was two steps ahead of everyone.

"Close the royal garden immediately.No one is allowed to enter without permission,"

Anthony ordered into the phone.

"Ask them to add a few more surveillance cameras, just in case," I reminded.

Anthony took my advice.

"Arrange smore cameras to monitor the garden," he added into the phone.

After hanging up and arranging everything, Anthony held my hand and gently stroked my hair.

"The thas finally come, honey.We're going to face Larry.Are you worried?"

I shook my head with a smile.

"Not at all.Besides, you're here with me.I'm confident that we can defeat him together."

Since Anthony and I prepared everything on our end, we went back to our room to wait for news from Amelia.I stood by the window and looked up at the sky, clenching my fists.

Finally, the thad arrived for a decisive battle against Larry.We had to defeat him once and for all
