Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Amelia's POV:

 When Larry agreed to practice magic with me, I nearly I jumped for joy.Now was my chance to test Larry's energy.

Just now, I was worried that Larry would suspect me if I suggested practicing magic with him, but he didn't seem to notice anything off.I tried to calm myself down as Larry turned around and entered a room.

It didn't take long before he came back out, but this time, he was carrying a magic book in his hand.

"Amelia, I bet you'll never guess what's in this."

With a smug smile, Larry spread the book on the table.

"I've been practicing the magic in this book recently."

Truth be told, I had no interest in Larry's magic book.I knew he always liked studying black magic.

But for the sake of carrying out my plan, I had to pretend to be interested.

Tilting my head to the side in feigned curiosity, I asked, "What magic, Larry?"

Larry took my hand and smiled at me confidently.

"You'll know it when you see it.Come and have a look! I played along and glanced at the magic spells recorded in the book.Then, my eyes went wide with shock.It was the magic spell of rejuvenation! Larry was actually studying the magic of restoring youth! I was so shocked that I pointed at the book and shouted in a shaky tone, "Larry! This kind of magic is taboo.I've never heard of a witch who has successfully pulled it off.Many have tried, but in the end, they all aged faster as a side effect."

For some reason, I found myself hoping that Larry wouldn't do anything stupid and would live well.

"Oh, calm down, Amelia.I'm no ordinary witch, remember?"

Larry hugged me and winked at me arrogantly.

"But what are you planning to do with such a spell, Larry?" I asked with suspicion.

Unexpectedly, Larry's expression softened and he looked at me affectionately.

"Amelia, to be honest, I'm doing this all for you.I really want to go back to the past and relive our glorious time together.I miss those wonderful days—so much so that I'm going crazy! Lately, I've been using witchcraft to make myself appear young again, but it's all just illusory.I want to completely restore my youth and win you over again, Amelia!"

I was completely at a loss for words.

Larry did all of this for me? Truth be told, I was terrified.
