Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Amelia's POV: 

That night, I couldn't fall asleep.I tossed and turned in bed restlessly.

Thinking of what was to come, I felt very uneasy.

Could we actually defeat Larry? He was too powerful.

He might've been weakened by the magic drug, but what if that wasn't enough? What if we still couldn't defeat him? Such uncertainty made me too anxious to sleep a wink.

The question kept nagging at me: what if tomorrow's plan failed? Finally, I couldn't help but reach for my phone on the bedside table to check Larry's message again.

Although he had said he would meet me tomorrow, I had a gut feeling that things weren't that simple.

Maybe it was because the last time I met Larry, the way he looked at me was different from before.

There was something in his eyes that frightened me.

Maybe Larry had already seen right through me and figured out our plan.

If that was the case, tomorrow would be disastrous.

But all I had was a gut feeling.

I didn't have any evidence to prove it, so I tried to tell myself that I was overthinking.

The more I thought about it, the more irritable I became.

I felt that if things went on like this, I would definitely be a hindrance to the plan tomorrow.

So I made up my mind and dialed Morgan's number.

To my surprise, he answered the phone right after the first ring.

"Hi, honey.Can't sleep? What's wrong?"

There was a tinge of nervousness in Morgan's voice.

"I'm fine! It's just..”

“I'm so nervous, honey!" I sighed and spoke out my inexplicable worries.

"I can't help but feel that things are moving too easily.Larry is a cunning wizard.I think he's figured out that tomorrow's a trap.What if he doesn't show up?"

"Oh, honey, you're thinking too much.King Anthony has set up a trap in the garden.As long as Larry shows up, we'll catch him and he won't be able to escape.If he is afraid, then that means he can't do anything to defeat us, right?" Morgan reassured me gently.

"Don't worry, Amelia."

"Thank you, Morgan! I feel a bit better."

Now that I had calmed down, I bit my lip guiltily.

"I'll do my best tomorrow.I'm sorry for bothering you so late."

"It's no bother, honey.Your business is my business," Morgan said.

I could almost picture his smiling face through the receiver.
