Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Jennifer's POV: 

Morgan jotted down what Anthony and I dictated.

When he was done, he rolled up the letter and tied it to the leg of the carrier pigeon.

He then opened the window to send the pigeon on its way.  Watching the little bird fly off into the distance, I gradually felt relieved.

But then gusts of freezing cold winds blew in from the window, whipping at me.

As though the injuries weren't painful enough, the snow mountain's biting cold was simply unbearable.

I shivered uncontrollably as the cold seeped into my bones.  "Jennifer, you're shivering! Stop pretending to be strong and drink the potion for the cold."

Anthony hurriedly looked for the bottle of magic medicine that Amelia had given us in his back pack.

When he handed it to me, Morgan's eyes lit up excitedly.

"Oh, my God! Isn't that Amelia's?"

He bounded over and pointed at the bottle in Anthony's hand.

"I would recognize it anywhere.That must mean Amelia really is alive!"

He clasped his hands gratefully, tears welling up in his eyes.  "Yes, Amelia gave this to us.She helped us prepare for this trip.Without her, I doubt we would've made it this far,"

Anthony explained with a smile, pressing the bottle into my hand.

The second I swallowed the medicine, a wave of delicious warmth enveloped my body.  "Can you take me with you back to the royal palace? I really want to see my dear Amelia again,"

Morgan pleaded.

Seeing how desperate he looked, Anthony and I exchanged emotional glances.

"Of course, Morgan," I said softly.

"We're indebted to both you and Amelia.Plus, we promised her that we would help her find her husband.You can go to see her at the royal palace any time you wish."

I reached out and patted him on the shoulder, smiling warmly.  Just then, Anthony suddenly clutched his chest and gasped in pain.  

"Anthony!" I rushed to his side.

"Are you okay? Is it the Love Curse? Wait, I'll get you the medicine!"

I started rummaging through my backpack desperately, but no matter how hard I looked, I couldn't find the medicine.

Oh, God! Could it have been lost in the avalanche? As horror began to overtake me, I looked helplessly at Anthony, who was curled up in pain.

How could I relieve his pain? I was at a total loss.I could do nothing but hold him in my arms tightly.

"Anthony, I can't find the medicine.I'm so sorry.What should I do?"

Anthony had broken into a cold sweat.

I tried to wipe it off his forehead.

He grimaced in pain and shut his eyes tight.

I couldn't bear to see him like this.

"Let me help."

Suddenly, Morgan raised his magic wand, winking at me.
