Outcast: The Alpha King’s Beloved

Jennifer’s POV:
I had difficulty sleeping recently because I was worried about the curse that had been placed on Anthony.
One morning, I texted Jeff.
“I’m sorry to bother you again, but I need your help.Roy said that a wizard had cast a spell on Anthony.However, he couldn’t
figure out which spell had been cast.He could only give us the contact information of other wizards and advise us to visit them
one by one.I will forward you the information so that you could look at it as well.”
Not long after I sent the message, Jeff replied, “I happen to know a witch named Cynthia.I can take you to see her, but I don’t
know if she can remove the curse on Mr.Jones.”
I told Jeff to go ahead with setting an appointment.
We made plans to see Cynthia together.
Like most wizards, Cynthia lived in a remote place.
It took us some time before we found her.
“Hello, Cynthia.We came here today to ask for your help.My mate seems to have a curse on him, but we don’t know how to
break it.Could you help us figure out exactly what the curse is so that we could find a solution?”
“Was it Roy who told you about me? He gave me a heads-up regarding this matter.”
Cynthia looked at us with a serious expression.
“Yes, it was Roy who suggested that we come here, ” Jeff replied.
“In that case, let’s not waste any more time.Come in.”
The witch warmly invited us into her house.
Anthony and I looked at each other before entering her abode.
Cynthia had simple furnishings, and she made Anthony lie down on the bed.

She then inspected him several times using black magic.
About half an hour later, Cynthia shook her head with a regretful expression.
“I’m sorry.I can’t figure what kind of curse has been put on him, but there are traces of magic in his blood.You’ll have to ask
another spell-caster for help.”
“How is that possible?”
I was greatly disappointed.
What kind of curse did Anthony have? Why was it unidentifiable that most wizards and witches could not figure out how to
break it?
“Don’t be sad, Jennifer.Roy gave you the contact information of many wizards, right? Surely, one of them can help us solve
this problem,” Jeff told me.
“But the next wizard on the list lives far away.Let’s go another day.I’ll be fine.Don’t worry.”
Anthony got up from the bed and held my hand.
Even though he said that to reassure me, I still felt worried about him.
I didn’t want anything bad to happen to Anthony ever again.
“Ordinary wizards might not be of much help to you.You should find Larry, a grand wizard.He is currently the most powerful
one among us,” Cynthia suggested.
I tried to guide Jennifer into lying down, but she suddenly sat up.
“I haven’t called Jerome yet.I need to know what’s going on with him.”
“All right.Go call him first.”
I stroked her long hair lovingly.
Jennifer was always busy.

She had too many things to worry about.
Jennifer called Jerome and put him on loudspeaker.
“Jerome, have you found Skylar?”
Jennifer asked before Jerome could even say anything.
“No, but I learned that she came to Blue Rose Pack.I’m in their territory right now.”
“Okay.” Be careful.Call us if you get any more news.
“I will.I’ll try to find her as quickly as possible.Jennifer, thank you for looking after the pack for me.It’s a tough job.”
“It’s what I should do.Don’t worry, my dear brother.I will guard the pack that was left to us by our father.”
The two siblings chatted a bit more and then ended the call.
I kissed Jennifer’s forehead and pulled her into my arms.
But before we could fall asleep, we heard someone shouting outside.
We opened the window and saw Tony standing in the yard with a panicked expression.
We realized that something was wrong so we quickly got dressed and went to check on the situation.
“Mr.Jones, Miss Smith, you came at the right time.There is something important I must tell you.The stars have changed!”
“Elder Tony, what are you talking about? What do you mean the stars have changed?” Jennifer stepped forward and asked
him.
“I was charting the stars as usual, and according to my prediction, a big catastrophe is going to happen.That catastrophe is
related to the two of you so you must prepare yourselves.”
Tony looked at us with a frown.
