Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 167: Larry 

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 stbefore we found her.

"Hello, Cynthia.We chere 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 gavea heads-up regarding this matter."

Cynthia looked at us with a serious expression.

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

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

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 nhas cup 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 ctoif 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 htogether.

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 madefeel 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 againstwith 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 becdetermined.

"That's right.Chere and take a nap.You haven't slept well in days."

I tried to guide Jennifer into lying down, but she suddenly sat up.

"I haven't called Jeryet.I need to know what's going on with him."

"All right.Go call him first."

I stroked her long hair lovingly.

Jennifer was always busy.

She had too many things to worry about.

Jennifer called Jerand put him on loudspeaker.

"Jerome, have you found Skylar?"

Jennifer asked before Jercould even say anything.

"No, but I learned that she cto Blue Rose Pack.I'm in their territory right now."

"Okay.” Be careful.Call us if you get any more news.

"I will.I'll try to find her as quickly as possible.Jennifer, thank you for looking after the pack for me.It's a tough job."

"It's what I should do.Don't worry, my dear brother.I will guard the pack that was left to us by our father."

The two siblings chatted a bit more and then ended the call.

I kissed Jennifer's forehead and pulled her into my arms.

But before we could fall asleep, we heard someone shouting outside.

We opened the window and saw Tony standing in the yard with a panicked expression.

We realized that something was wrong so we quickly got dressed and went to check on the situation.

"Mr.Jones, Miss Smith, you cat the right time.There is something important I must tell you.The stars have changed!"

"Elder Tony, what are you talking about? What do you mean the stars have changed?" Jennifer stepped forward and asked him.

"I was charting the stars as usual, and according to my prediction, a big catastrophe is going to happen.That catastrophe is related to the two of you so you must prepare yourselves."

Tony looked at us with a frown.

"What kind of catastrophe? How can we prepare for it?"

Jennifer asked anxiously.

"I can't say for sure at the moment.I'll keep observing the stars.If there are any more changes, I'll let you two know immediately.The point is that you have to be more careful from now on.Watch out so that you don't get framed by others,"

Tony told Jennifer with a shake of his head.

"I'm sorry to disturb you at this hour.I shall take my leave now.Take care of yourselves."

"Thank you for the warning, Elder Tony."

Jennifer said goodbye to Tony and returned to the room with me.

But this time, she was even more anxious.

She tossed and turned in the bed.

Tony's latest prediction was quite concerning.

Every member of Rainbow Pack firmly believed him when he had predictions because his divinations had yet to be wrong.

If he said there was going to be a catastrophe, there was going to be one.

"Go to sleep, Jennifer.I'll always be with you."

I kissed Jennifer on the lips and tried to lull her to sleep.

"l can't."

"Letread you a story then."

I gently stroked her hair.I heard that Jennifer liked listening to her parents tell stories when she was a child.

Although her parents were dead, she hadnow, and I was willing to spoil her.

"That's really kind of you, Anthony."

I picked up a on the bedside table, wrapped my arms around Jennifer, and began to read out loud.I told the story in a gentle voice.

As Jennifer listened, she began to relax and yawn.

"The next full moon, the young prince went to see the princess, but she had fallen asleep.The prince had ca little too late.” A witch stepped up and said, ‘If you want her to wake up, you have to give up what is most important to you."

Jennifer fell asleep before I could finish reading the story.

I put the book down, tucked her in, and pondered over our situation.

"Zane, what should I do to make Jennifer worry less?"

At this moment, I really wanted to talk with my wolf.

"Don't stress about it.You can keep her happy by continuing to stay by her side," Zane replied.

"I once made up my mind to protect her from any danger, but she always seems to get in danger if I am by her side."

"Anthony, you shouldn't think that way.Couples are bound to have many sweet moments, but dangers and difficulties are inevitable in life.As long as you two love each other, everything will turn out fine."

"Zane, you've matured.Everything you've said is quite wise."

"Of course.I'm Zane, the wolf of the Osman Kingdom's prince."

I couldn't help smiling when I heard this.I now knew what I should do.

No matter what difficulties we would face in the future, Jennifer could count onto be by her side.
