Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 225: Wizard 

Jennifer's POV:

I had a terrible nightmare that shook me to the core.My limbs felt stiff and my body was covered in cold sweat when I woke up.

A sense of dread filled me as I tried to recall what had happened before I lost my consciousness.

I remembered Anthony and me getting swept by the avalanche, but fortunately, we fell into an icy cave and managed to escape death.

However, to make matters worse, the Love Curse started to cause Anthony pain again.

I couldn't remember much after that except that I had lost consciousness after I got hit by something.I sat up without conscious thought and scanned my surroundings, but Anthony was nowhere to be seen.

As soon as I stood up, my knees gave beneath me and I fell to the floor with a loud thudding noise.Wait, where was I? I looked around and found myself in a strange log cabin.

There was nothing fancy about the old cabin, and the furnishings were plain and simple.

I tried to get up, but I didn't have the strength to lift myself from the floor.However, I had to find Anthony no matter what.I gritted my teeth to endure the pain and forced myself up on my feet.

As soon as I stood up, a strange voice came from behind me.

"Hey, you're awake!"

I turned around to follow the voice and saw a man in a black cloak standing at the door.

Was he talking to me? I took a step back with apprehension and looked at him anxiously, wondering if he was going to do something bad to me.

On second thought, perhaps this was the man who had saved me.

After all, I should have been lying dead in the snow by now.

"Who are you?" My voice was hoarse.

"I am a wizard.I live here, on the top of the snow mountain.When I went out today, I found you and a man, unconscious in the snow.If I hadn't brought you here, you would have died," the man replied calmly.

I felt relieved as he didn't seem hostile at all.

"I see.Thank you, sir."

I politely showed him my gratitude, but when I heard about Anthony, my eyes widened with curiosity.

"The man who was with me...Where is he?"

"The man? He was badly injured when I found him.Alas..."

The wizard lowered his eyes and took a deep breath.I feared the worst when I saw his reaction and my head started spinning.

"No, it can't be! Anthony, no!" burst into tears and screamed desperately.

"Oh, calm down, miss.I just wanted to say that he is fine."

I stared at him in utter disbelief as he chuckled and added, "His injuries were severe, but I managed to save his life."

"Where is he right now? Can you please take me to him?"

As soon as I found out that Anthony was alive, I didn't care about anything else.I begged him like a child.

"He is sleeping in the next room."

The wizard pointed at the door.I couldn't think of anything else.

Stifling the pain, I rushed to the next room without hesitation.

The moment I saw him with my own eyes, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I was so happy to see him that I realized I wouldn't be able to carry on living if something had happened to him.

Anthony's POV:

As soon as I woke up, I squeezed my eyes shut because of the pain.

I paused to catch my breath before I looked around the room I was in.I fell into a state of panic when I couldn't see Jennifer and I got up to look for her.I recalled her helpless expression as she didn't know what to do when the Love Curse attacked me.I knew it must have broken her heart to watch me go through something like that.I had to let her know that I was fine.I had to find her immediately.I staggered to my feet and stood up straight.

The next moment, I fell to the floor and coughed out blood.I supported myself on the wall and looked at my blood.I was so frustrated for feeling so helpless that I ended up laughing bitterly at myself.

Who would have thought that I would end up in a place like this? How could someone like me keep Jennifer safe from harm?

"Anthony!"

Just then, I heard Jennifer's voice and I felt as though someone had breathed hope into me.Jennifer was still alive!

"Jennifer, I'm here!"

I responded to her immediately.

The next second, Jennifer rushed in, and I wrapped my arms around her.

I burst into tears as I couldn't hold back my excitement.

Jennifer wept, too.

"Anthony, I thought I would never see you again!" Jennifer touched my face.

"The moment I saw you fall down, my mind went blank and I didn't know what to do."

"It's all right now, honey.I'm just sad that you had to come here to this place for me and then ended up having to deal with an avalanche.I feel like I'm the reason behind your sadness."

I kissed Jennifer on the forehead to give her comfort.

"Hey! There's no need to cry.We've both survived, right?" Jennifer smiled at me lovingly.

"Now that we've survived such a big disaster, I think there's nothing that will stop us from having a happy life in the future."

"Yes, you are right.We're indeed very lucky to be together again."

I wiped the tears from her eyes and checked to see if she had any injuries.I felt bad when I saw her torn, blood-stained clothes.

"Jennifer, what about your injuries?"

"I'm fine.Just minor injuries." Jennifer looked at me with concern.

"Anthony, what about the Love Curse? Does it still hurt?"

"I'm fine.I feel much better now.Don't worry about me.You should think about your own health, silly girl." I kissed her on the cheek. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Just as Jennifer and I were talking to each other, we both heard a cough.

I looked up at the door and found a man standing there in a black cloak.I immediately pulled Jennifer and stood in front of her.

"Who are you?"

"Oh, Anthony, don't be afraid.He's a wizard.He found us and nursed us back to health,"

Jennifer explained in a soft voice.

"I see."

I breathed a sigh of relief as I walked over to the wizard.

"Thank you for saving us.If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know."

"You two are so interesting.Your first reaction after waking up was to look for the other, completely oblivious to your own health and wellbeing," the wizard said with a smile.

Jennifer lowered her head shyly and I smiled at his words."Perhaps, this is the power of love,"I said proudly, taking Jennifer's hand.

"We love each other very much."

"Well, that's good to know.Shouldn't you be introducing yourselves to me?" The wizard stroked his beard.

"It would be nice to know the names of the people I just saved."

I looked at the wizard from head to toe.

Although he looked a bit strange, the fact that he willingly saved two strangers told me that he wasn't a bad person.

"My name is Anthony.She is Jennifer, my mate.We are both werewolves."

I reached out my hand for a handshake.

"May I know your name? We would like to repay you for saving our lives."

"Yes, thank you very much for saving us," Jennifer echoed with me.

The wizard burst into laughter and replied, "I have lived on the snow mountain for many years.Do you know why I choose to live in seclusion? It's because I have nothing to worry about or care for in this world.In other words, I didn't save you to get something in return.You were just lucky that I was in a good mood when I met you."

As I looked into the wizard's eyes, I felt more confident about my judgment.He seemed like a straightforward guy.

"Please tell us your name and I promise that I will repay you for saving us," I insisted.

"Well, it doesn't matter even if I tell you." The wizard shrugged his shoulders.

"Just call me Morgan."

Suddenly, my eyebrows furrowed with curiosity.I thought I had heard of that name before.

"Anthony, isn't Amelia's husband called Morgan?"

Jennifer whispered excitedly, holding my hand.

I kept silent, but I winked at her.

Yes! This had to be the same man Amelia had been looking for! "Morgan, do you know someone called Amelia? She is a witch."

I stared at the wizard in anticipation.
