Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 354: Angry Larry 

Larry's POV:

Even as the moon hung in the sky, I kept tossing and turning in bed.I just couldn't fall asleep.

Thinking about how I had failed in my attempt to use the Avatar Curse made me feel utterly depressed.

What was happening to me? I was Larry, the grand wizard the most powerful wizard of them all! Damn it! I couldn't accept this failure.

So I got out of bed and reached for my wand.I went outside and pointed my wand at the starry night sky.

"Avatar Curse!" I shouted with determination.

"Avatar Curse! Avatar curse!!" I tried countless times but it was futile.

Every time I felt the energy gathering into my wand, my body would go limp, as though all of my strength was being drained.

It seemed to me that my energy always ran out at the most critical of moments.

"Ah!" Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

I was so angry that I threw my wand to the ground and started pulling my hair in frustration.

What the hell was happening? I used to be so powerful, so much so that I had become extremely proud and cocky.I simply couldn't accept that I was getting weaker and weaker.

But no matter what I did, I couldn't change the reality of the situation.

Dejected, I bent over, picked up my wand, and retreated to my room to check my physical condition again.I was shocked to find that I was even weaker than I was in the daytime.

Was it because I injured myself? Through gritted teeth, I tried to heal myself with the magic wand.

When I was finally successful, I punched the pillow in a fit of rage.

The weakening of my power was just too sudden.

Could I have been cursed? What had Amelia done to me? Clenching my fists, I began to carefully recall what Amelia and I had been doing these days.

Although she hadn't explicitly used any spell in front of me, we did share a few meals.

Perhaps she had tampered with the food.

My eyes narrowed unhappily.

What I fool I've been! I pressed my fingers against my temples, regretting § how love had blinded me, causing me to fall for Amelia's trap.

"But I still need to prove that this is Amelia's doing..." I murmured to myself.

Maybe I misunderstood her and my weakening had nothing to do with her.I still found myself reluctant to blame her.So I decided to investigate first.I needed to study the magic books tomorrow to see if I could find any clues.

Just as I slipped back into bed, I heard my phone beep.

Upon checking, I found that it was a message from Amelia.

"Honey, I've been thinking and I've decided I'm willing to go with you.Can we meet at the garden of the imperial palace tomorrow at noon?"

When I read the message, I nearly jumped for joy.

"She finally agreed!"

Amelia! My dear Amelia! We were finally going home! God! I was so happy that I nearly shed tears.

But the excitement made me cough so violently that I could barely breathe.I suddenly froze.

For a second, I had almost forgotten just how weak I had become.

The joy only lasted a few seconds.I gradually calmed down and stared at Amelia's message pensively.

Something was off.

If she really wanted to come with me, why did she ask to meet me in were wolve's territory? It was obviously a dangerous place for me, and she knew this.Yet she asked me to meet her there.

It was obviously a trap.

I got it! Amelia was setting a trap for me.

She was simply waiting for me to throw myself into the snare.I gnashed my teeth.I was furious.

Regardless of my injuries, I struggled to stand up.

I had to go to the palace of werewolves to see what they were up to.I managed to rush to the palace in one breath.

It was quite a feat, and I was so tired that I was out of breath.

Fortunately, I had been here many times and was used to sneaking in.

I hid in the shadows and managed to sneak all the way to the garden.

Hiding in the bushes, I scanned the area and found that there were many guards patrolling around the garden.

There was even a notice posted at the entrance of the garden, announcing that the garden would be closed indefinitely.

The garden was closed to outsiders and there were so many guards patrolling the area.

But Amelia asked me to meet her here tomorrow.

It was clear to me now that this was indeed a trap.

Amelia's invitation was a trap! This truth made me tremble with anger, but I didn't dare to make any sound, lest I be discovered.I could do nothing but retreat for now.

Just as I was leaving, I saw a familiar figure in the distance.

Wasn't that werewolf the Alpha named Carl? I walked quietly behind him, observing his movements.I knew it had to be Carl.

He was pacing back and forth outside Jennifer's residence, holding a bottle of wine.

Judging from his odd behavior, I guessed that the she-wolf he liked was that bitch, Jennifer.

Some time ago, I thought I could use him to destroy the relationship between Jennifer and Anthony, but unfortunately, Carl was cowardly and incompetent back then.

But maybe I could manipulate him now.

After making up my mind, I decided to follow Carl.

This stupid werewolf seemed to be in a bad mood.

He walked with his head down and his footsteps were erratic.

I followed him with ease into a hotel outside the palace.

Carl seemed to be in a daze.

When I followed him into the room, he didn't even notice my presence.I stood in the corner of the room and exerted a low level of stealth on myself.I decided to wait and see.

"Oh, my God! Jennifer! My Jennifer!"

As he was packing his things, Carl kept murmuring that bitch's name.

"I don't want to leave.I don't want to leave.Why did you have to be so cruel to me?"

Judging from his mumbling, I could tell that he was packing to leave the Osman Kingdom.

As I hid in the shadows, I quickly came up with a plan.

He seemed to be consumed by that bitch, so I figured he would jump at any chance to be with her.I could use this to make him listen to me.

Thinking about the guards I saw in the palace garden just now, I almost went crazy with anger.I was certain that Amelia had been lying to me all this time.

The damned woman! How dare she use me? She lied to me while I did nothing but love her with all of my heart.

Damn it! Damn it all to hell! Jennifer and Anthony must've been behind all this.

They were the ones who changed Amelia's mind! The old grudges against them hadn't been settled yet, and now there were new ones.

They needed to pay for everything they had done to me.I looked at the weary werewolf before me and smiled deviously.

Carl could break up that damned couple and torture them.

Just wait and see.I wouldn't let Amelia go.

She was mine and only mine.

I would kill Morgan before her very eyes and teach her a lesson.I couldn't help but get excited at the thought of Amelia kneeling on the ground, crying humbly and begging me for mercy.I grinned and decided to reveal myself.

As Carl continued to pack his things, I removed my stealth cover and appeared in front of him.

I sneered, "Hey, what are you doing? Are you planning to run away with your tail between your legs just because you couldn't get the she-wolf you love?"
