The Beauty And The Wolf - Chapter 131

Ivy looked at Amber’s worried face. “Why are you scared?” she asked.

“My aunt will ask me why I was not in my room. How I’m going to answer?” Amber said.

“Well…” Ivy was stupefied for a moment.

Amber pondered about her dilemma for a few minutes. “Um, can you please bring my aunt back to her room and then erase her memory of tonight? Can you do it, please?” she pleaded.

“Sure! That’s easy peasy!” Ivy said. “I’ll do it now!” she said and flew back to the room.

Amber watched her friend vanished from her sight.

Fifteen minutes later.

The window opened and Ivy can be seen flying towards the magic carpet.

“I already put your aunt back to her room and put her in a deep sleep. I also erased her memory, entering your room. Tomorrow when she wakes up, she won’t remember anything about tonight’s mess,” Ivy reassured her.

Amber’s eyes glowed in happiness. “Thank you so much, friend! You’re the best!”

Ivy responded, “Don’t mention it. We’re friends, I will help you the best I can. Let’s head back to your room now!” she said.

The magic carpet entered the window and landed on the floor.

Amber stepped onto the floor and the magic carpet disappeared instantly. She looked at her bed. Her aunt is gone! Thank God!

“Alright, I’m going back to my place now. I’ll visit you some other day. Good night,” Ivy said.

“Night night! Thank you for helping me,” Amber said.

“My pleasure,” Ivy replied, she flew towards the window and disappeared into the darkness of the night.

Amber closed the window, turned off the light, and lay down on the bed, staring at the thick darkness that enveloped her room.

She had a hard time sleeping. She was deeply bothered after learning something from her past. She has a lover named Rhett! And she finally recalled the guy in her dreams – he looks exactly like Rhett and she can conclude now that the people she knows in her previous life were also the same people who are calling her Sabrina in her dreams.

She finally get it! Her real name is Sabrina! Not Amber!

But why did Aunt Cornelia and Lady Helen name her Amber?

How come she arrived at this place?

Could it be that her aunt was just making up stories about her parents drowning in the sea?

Are they even her real parents? Or everything they told her is pure lies!

Everything in her current life is all lies!

She was confused about these recent happenings in her life. Part of her wants to know the truth but after learning that her lover Rhett impregnated a woman, that would surely hurt her deeply if she will regain her full memories of him, that scares her to the bones.

What is it in her previous life that is worth going back to?

Or she will just continue living her current life and forget everything that happened in her past.

Which path she will choose?

Which is which?

She’s confused now!

Argh!

Just thinking about her mystifying past, already gives her a painful headache.

So many things bothering her mind right now. How is she going to sleep with all these thoughts torturing her?

She groaned in dismay. Half of her wants to know about her past and who are those people in her dreams. But another part of her is scared to face the ugly things that she might uncover after regaining her memory.

Sighing deeply, she shut her eyes to sleep.

It was already 11:00 in the evening when she finally succumbed to a night of deep sleep.

…

Meanwhile…

Across the miles, at Hillsraine Grove.

Thirty minutes before midnight.

Leera’s companions along with their husbands returned to the mansion empty-handed. She’s on the verge of breaking down. She addressed them with a sigh. “Thanks for helping me find my husband. It’s already past bedtime, go to your rooms now and have a good night’s sleep. Let’s continue the search tomorrow,” she said gloomily.

“Thank you, Priestess!” the girls said, and together with their husbands they climbed the stairs and retired to their rooms upstairs for a much-needed rest.

Leera stared at the darkness of the night, feeling distraught and desolate inside. “Husband, where are you? Why did you leave me?” she asked aloud, wondering where is Rhett right now. Earlier, he was touring the construction site alone in the afternoon, that’s the time he went missing, and nobody has seen him ever since.

He vanished without a trace!

Leera left the mansion and rose in the air like a white lady, her white robe blown by the wind behind her. She looks like an apparition of an angel that descended from heaven.

Suddenly, she saw the lights flashing in the wooded part of the property, she rushed toward their location.

The lights saw the priestess approaching their location, the leader flew towards Leera to greet her.

“Lights, have you seen my husband?” Leera asked urgently.

“Good news, Priestess! We found your husband lying on the ground, unconscious, near the trunk of a big tree in the woods. We’re about to go back to the mansion to inform you about him,” the leader said.

Leera smiled happily. “Great! Take me to him now!” she said excitedly.

The lights lead the way, followed by Leera.

A few minutes later.

They descended on the deepest part of the woods. Leera saw her husband lying on the ground. She rushed to his side. “Darling, what happened to you? We’re looking for you everywhere!” she asked worriedly.

“Priestess, your husband can’t answer your question because he was unconscious when we found him. We try waking him up but failed to do so,” the leader of the lights said.

“Okay, go now and continue searching for Sabrina!” Leera commanded

“Aye, Priestess!” the leader of the lights said and left the area.

Leera hugged her husband happily and initiated the teleportation back to her room in the mansion.

Leera and the unconscious Allan landed in the couple’s room. Leera settled her husband comfortably on the bed and began checking his body for any signs of open wounds, thankfully, she didn’t find any injury on his body after a few minutes of thorough inspection.

But why he’s not waking up yet?

“Husband, wake up! What’s wrong with you?” Leera asked apprehensively.

In the succeeding minutes, Leera tried her best to wake up Allan but to no avail. No matter how hard she tried, she can’t awaken him. She noticed that he was breathing normally and his skin color is still the same. His overall condition doesn’t indicate that he was fatally harmed by anyone.

C-could he be poisoned by someone?

What if some spirit in the woods took fancy of him and hide him away for a few hours?

That’s entirely possible!

Her eyes were flashing with anger, if she will know who play stupid tricks on her husband, she will burn that culprit alive!

Furious, she began pacing back and forth on the floor – constantly looking at her husband, trying to identify the reason why he’s not waking up yet.

She hoped his condition is not fatal!

She glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, it was already past midnight, her body craves rest.

Time to sleep!

She lay her body down on the bed beside her husband and covered their bodies with the blanket. “Goodnight, darling!” she said and planted a sweet kiss on his head. “Please, wake up tomorrow morning, okay?” she begged in a distraught voice. She’s worried about his strange condition. Worse, there’s nothing she can do to remedy it.

What if his condition will worsen tomorrow morning? What she’s going to do?

No!

She refused to dwell on that possibility!

Allan will be alright!

Everything will return to normal tomorrow.

Comforted by those positive thoughts in her mind, she finally closed her eyes and drifted into a deep slumber.

The mansion was plunged in dead silence, the inhabitants were already sleeping soundly in their respective rooms.

…

The following day.

The first thing that Leera did when she woke up is to check on Allan. She was expecting that he was awake already but to her surprise and agony, he’s still sleeping soundly, what’s going on!?

Why he’s not waking up yet!?

She was getting scared by Allan’s perplexing condition. He’s not harmed in any way but why does he refuse to wake up!?

What’s wrong with him?

She began re-checking his whole body, from head to foot, looking for any signs of poison.

After a few minutes of thorough check-up, she found nothing wrong with him. His strange condition baffled her deeply.

What she’s going to do now?

She desperately wants him to wake up so that she will know what exactly happened to him during those times when he went missing.

Who abducted him against his will?

Argh!

All the troubling things that transpired on her beloved husband are making her crazy!

She got to catch the person who did this to Allan!

Grrrrrr!

She will tear apart that person into a million pieces once she will caught him or her!

She will observe Allan’s condition for one whole day, and if his condition worsens, she has no choice but to bring him to her friend living in the south, a great healer.

Allan will undergo an internal check-up and healing to cure him. She was infuriated that she failed to identify the reason why he was unconscious until now. If his situation will stay like this for several days, she’s afraid that he might die suddenly.

No! She can’t allow that!

She caresses Allan’s face lovingly. “Darling, can you hear me? What’s wrong with you? Who did this to you? Please wake up! You’re scaring me! Please wake up!” she said sorrowfully, fresh tears sprang from her eyes.

Suddenly, there was knocking on the door.

She wiped the tears from her eyes and glanced at the door. “Who’s there?” she asked.

“Priestess, breakfast is ready!” Odette announced.

“Just inform the servant to bring my meals here!” Leera responded.

“Aye, Priestess,” Odette spoke and went back downstairs.

Leera shifted her attention back to her unconscious husband. “I will never leave your side, darling,” she said miserably and continue sobbing.

She only stopped crying when her breakfast arrives in her room.

She ate her meals in tortured silence.
