Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 302: The Demon's Whispers 

Carl's POV:

The mysterious wizard who called himself Larry disappeared into thin air, and I stared blankly at the notebook on the table, in a trance.

Such powerful magic could have only been exhibited by a grand wizard of legendary proportions.

I recalled hearing rumors about a grand wizard who infiltrated the royal palace, sneaked past all the guards, and attacked Anthony's mother, Elizabeth.

Could Larry really help me? No! What was I even thinking? I picked up the notebook and tore off the page with Larry's phone number written on it, crumpling it into a ball in my fist.

I didn't want to cooperate with a wizard, let alone achieve my goal by shameful means.However, when I walked to the trash can, I found myself hesitating.

What choice did I have? If I didn't cooperate with Larry, how could I be with Jennifer? She was the queen now! Although I knew that she was married to the king, I still couldn't stop myself from loving her.

Damn it!I threw the paper ball, not into the trash can, but on the table.I slumped down on the sofa with my hands wrapped around my head and I screamed in frustration.

"What should I do? Damn it!"

I found myself in a frenzy of desperation.I had feelings for Jennifer ever since I was a child, but I wasn't confident enough to act on those feelings because 1 had come from humble origins.I thought that I would be able to confess my love to her once I had achieved something notable.

Unfortunately, by the time I finally became Alpha, she became the queen.

As I recalled the events of the other day at the garden, I ridiculed myself for being such a fool.

'Carl, she's not interested in you at all"

There was no love in her eyes when she looked at me, but they were full of tender affection the moment she set them on Anthony.I couldn't lie to myself.

To Jennifer, I was probably no different than a stranger now, even though I had kept her in my heart every single day for many years.

Life could be very cruel sometimes.

How I wished she could reciprocate my feelings of love, even if it was only for a day! Suddenly, while I was lost in my thoughts, I heard whisperings in my ears.

‘'You deserve to be with Jennifer! She is yours! You have to do what it takes!'’ I stood up almost immediately, horrified by the crazy idea that was trying to plant a seed in my mind.

I screamed and overturned the table, breaking every beer bottle and the fruit plate that were on it before I fell to the floor.

"No! I can't do it!"

My voice cracked, and as I looked down, I saw the note on the floor as if it were calling out to me.

'Do it, Carl.As long as you call Larry, he will help you get rid of Anthony.No one will know that you have anything to do with it.With Anthony dead, you can finally be with Jennifer"

"No, no, no..." The voice kept tempting me.

I tried my best to restrain my evil thoughts.After all, I didn't want to become the kind of werewolf I hated the most.It took me a long time to calm down.I slowly got up to my feet and picked up the note.I saved

Larry's phone number in my phone and then threw it in the trash can.I didn't want to collude with Larry, nor did {I want Anthony to die.I just needed a backup plan.

If Anthony didn't treat Jennifer well, I would swoop in and take Jennifer away from him.

Anthony's POV:

Jennifer and I spent a romantic evening at the royal restaurant.We had such a good time that we didn't go back to our room until midnight.

The next day, I was woken up by Jennifer's tender kiss on my lips.Her beautiful face was the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

"Good morning, my king," Jennifer said with a smile as she nestled in my arms.

"You are the best thing that has ever happened to me.Did you know that?"

"Good morning, my love." I gently stroked Jennifer's hair.

"I hope you'll still be in a good mood later on today."

Jennifer and I went to the dining room, hand in hand, to have breakfast after freshening up.

"Anthony, I'm still afraid that Larry will see through our plan.If that happens, Amelia will be in danger.We have to find a way to protect her," Jennifer said, with a concerned furrow on her eyebrows.

This was why I loved Jennifer.

She was always thinking about others and, more often than not, she was right about most things.

Larry was crazy enough to do anything to get what he wanted, and it wouldn't surprise me if he hurt Amelia in the process.

"Don't worry, Jennifer.I will have some bodyguards keep an eye on her in the dark.If Larry makes a move, they will be there to respond."

I reached out to touch Jennifer's little hand and comforted her.

"I have some of the best fighters working for me.Even if they can't defeat Larry, they can at least keep Amelia safe."

"This is why I admire you, Anthony.You are always two steps ahead of your opponent.A sweet morning kiss for the most brilliant king."

Jennifer sat on my lap and pulled my face to a gentle kiss.

I grabbed her by the waist and kissed her.

Then, I nibbled her earlobe and said, "I'm happy to hear that."

"Anthony, you've had a busy few weeks and now after you took the throne, it seems as though you're always working.I'm worried about your health, honey."

Lying in my arms, Jennifer sighed.

"I don't want you to tire yourself out." I patted her on the shoulder.

"Don't worry about me, honey.I can handle the pressure.Besides, our people need us, and we have to defend our territory."

"I know, but I still feel sorry for you." Jennifer blinked her eyes at me.

"Just try to maintain a proper balance between work and rest."

"You are right, but I still have to do what I should do at night," I said to Jennifer, with a hint of mischief in my tone.

"You're so annoying!" Jennifer squeezed my cheek.

"Aren't you supposed to be in a meeting? Stop dawdling."

"All right, all right.By the way, Carl will also be attending today's meeting.He wants to discuss matters of the White Lily Pack with me.I can't wait to hear what he has to say."

I stood up and waved at the maids to clean up the dishes.

"By the way, Anthony, don't forget that you promised me something," Jennifer said in a sweet voice, holding my arm.

"What do you mean?" I asked, pretending as though I had no idea what she was talking about.

"I'm talking about us having dinner with Carl." Jennifer gazed at me with her beautiful big eyes.

"You can't go back on your word now." I sighed helplessly.

"Okay, my queen.Have I ever broken a promise to you?"

"Yes… You have...in bed,"

Jennifer whispered in my ear and giggled.It took me a while to understand what she was talking about.

During our intimate bedroom moments, whenever Jennifer would ask me to stop, I would agree at first, but then carry on harder and faster.

It was only because I knew that even though she was asking me to stop, her body kept telling me to go harder.

"I'm afraid I will have to break my promise on that again." I smiled and kissed Jennifer on the lips.

"See you later, honey."

I sighed when I looked at the time and said goodbye to Jennifer as I didn't want to be late for the meeting.
