Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Amelia's POV: 

The second I got back to the royal palace, I rushed to my room and locked the door behind me.

What had happened over dinner with Larry made me incredibly restless.

What was I supposed to do? Larry seemed to have changed.

He was so gentle with me, though I had a creeping suspicion that he was just pretending.I shouldn't believe his sweet talk.

He said that as long as I went back with him, he wouldn't try to hurt Jennifer and Anthony.

If I was being honest with myself, I was hesitant; maybe if I went back with him, I'd be able to put a stop to all of this meaningless slaughter.

If my leaving with Larry could protect everyone, including Morgan, I was willing to sacrifice myself.

But I knew what kind of person Larry was.

He would most likely break his promise and go back on his word.

So, if I went back with him, he probably would've still attacked the king and queen behind my back, and maybe even kill Morgan.

After all, I knew he hated Morgan with a passion.I pressed my fingers against my temple and winced.

What should I do? Recalling Larry's thoughtfulness when he placed food on my plate, I felt more hesitant.

No, I shouldn't be deceived by his superficial gentleness.

He would never change.

He was a lunatic! 'Don't forget why you went out to see him in the first place, Amelia!' I tried to talk some sense into myself.

At a loss, I quickly took out my phone and dialed Jennifer's number.

She was smart enough to know what I should do next.

"Jennifer!"

As soon as the call connected, I called out her name agitatedly.

"I just met Larry.I don't know what to do!"

"Calm down, Amelia.Tell me everything."
