The Beauty And The Wolf - Chapter 146
Damn, she’s so snobby! Gustav eyed Sabrina appreciatively, she’s just his type of girl, so adorable! He could spend his whole eternity with her. After so many years of being loveless, the girl who can make him fall in love again is finally born and she’s now within his reach!
Fantastic!
Sabrina looked at the stranger warily. “State your purpose in joining me at my table, Sir. Or else I will leave now,” she said.
“Oh, I’m sorry, sweetie. You’re so beautiful I was mesmerized by your beauty, I was speechless for a moment,” Gustav apologized.
Sabrina smiled in amusement. “Keep your words of flattery to yourself, Sir!” she said and about to get up.
“Wait… don’t go yet! I still need to talk to you!” Gustav said, panicking.
Sabrina breathed deeply and sit down again. “I will ask you again for one last time, what do you want from me?” she asked in a cold voice, not interested in talking to a stranger with a mysterious background.
Gustav cleared his throat. “Um… I want to get to know you better… can I?” he asked permission.
Sabrina shook her head vigorously, not liking the guy’s statement because she already had an intuition that the guy is looking for a companionship or friendship that she was not willing to give. She’s not a willing participant in what he envisioned in his mind, so why bother talking to him. “What for?” The question came out of her mouth before she can think twice about it.
Gustav smiled adoringly at his newfound love interest. “Because I have a crush on you. I mean I like you the first time I laid my eyes on you that’s why I want to get to know you better and hopefully you will like me too,” he confessed his inner feelings to her instantly because he knows that his time with her is running out.
He might not be able to tell her his feelings the moment she will go on training because Dimitri is the only one who knows that place, even if he knows that place he’s not allowed to enter it.
Sabrina was stunned by the stranger’s instant confession of affection towards her. “But we only meet each other…”
“Does it matter? Do you believe in love at first sight?” Gustav asked.
A smile escaped Sabrina’s lips. “You’re crazy!” she said.
“I’m crazy for you!” Gustav grinned.
“I’m sorry to say this… but I’m not looking forward in having a relationship with anyone right now,” Sabrina said.
A look of pain flashed on Gustav’s face. “Oh, please don’t turn me down yet. Spend time with me even for a few days so that you will get to know me better. Please?” he begged.
Sabrina finds the serious expression on the stranger’s face a bit pitiable. Then she smiled. “You confessed your feelings to me instantly – yet we don’t even know each other’s name. You look like you’re in a hurry…” she observed.
Gustav chuckled after he realized that they haven’t been properly introduced to each other. “Oh, sorry about that. I’m indeed in a hurry to get to know you fast. By the way, my name is Gustav… how about you? What’s your name pretty girl?” he asked eagerly. The fact that she didn’t leave him yet, gives him a little bit of hope to proceed with his madness.
Sabrina eyed the stranger closely. So far, the guy looks harmless, revealing his name to a stranger is not a big deal. “My name is Sabrina…” she answered.
“What a beautiful name you had!” A bright smile emerged on Gustav’s lips. Awesome! She finally revealed her name!
Sabrina recalled the peculiar atmosphere of the establishment that she and the stranger have first seen each other. “Um… I want to ask you a question…” she said.
“Sure, go ahead, what is it?” Gustav spoke.
“My question is about the establishment that we first meet… can you tell me what are those people? Why they look like they are ready to devour me?” she inquired.
Gustav was debating in his mind if he will tell her the truth or not. “Um… if I will tell you the truth, you won’t tell others?”
“Okay, I won’t tell others…” she reassured him.
He leaned over and whispered in her ear. “Those people are blood thirsty vampires. For them you are a fresh delicious meat ready for the taking that’s why I arrived on time to save you from being their first victim of the night…” he informed her about the truth.
Sabrina’s body stiffened in fright. Her face blanched. “Oh, no!”
“Oh yes… now you know that place is dangerous. Don’t ever go there again without my presence or else you will be somebody’s meals…” Gustav warned her.
Trembling in fright, Sabrina swallowed her saliva down her throat. Jesus! She was so close to being bitten by those vampires. Good thing this stranger in front of her saved her on time, or else she’s dead meat already. She remembered when the lights were off and then went on again, those people already surrounded her, ready to attack her.
She closed her eyes for a moment, trying to calm the erratic beating of her heart.
Then she remembered the guardian of the medallion, she was confident that he won’t just hide in the shadow and do nothing to save her from harm. She was instantly consoled with the thoughts and gradually the erratic beating of her heart was back to normal.
Gustav saw the fear flashing on Sabrina’s face a moment earlier. “Are you okay, Sabrina?” he asked worriedly.
Sabrina looked at him and nodded her head. “Yeah, I’m okay…” she said. She looked at him closely trying to understand his identity. Why did everyone in that strange place obey his command when he told them to stop? That puzzled her. “Are you a frequent visitor on that place?” she asked.
“Yeah… that is one of my favorite place to hang out during the evening,” Gustav replied.
“So… you mean to say.. t…that…y…you are one of them?” Sabrina asked him point-blank.
Gustav smiled. “Oh, no… I’m not one of them… I’m your guardian angel who falls from heaven to save and protect you…” he joked.
Sabrina doesn’t believe him, right now, he looks like a vampire to her. He exudes an ethereal aura around him and his hand was cold when he grabbed her hands, pulling her out of the vampire-infested building.
Gustav saw the disbelief in Sabrina’s eyes. “Oh, you don’t believe me?” he said.
“I don’t believe you. I think… you are one of them!” she said in a low voice and stood up, she walked out of the restaurant, leaving the stranger alone at her table.
Sighing in dismay, Gustav watched the apple of his eyes as she exited the restaurant.
Then out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Dimitri standing in the dark corner of the restaurant in his invisible form, then he suddenly vanished from his eyes.
Oh, he was caught!
Groaning, he stood up, walked to the door, and exited the restaurant. He looked at the staircase and debated inwardly… should he follow Sabrina in her room or not?
Better not…
He walked towards the entrance of the inn and stepped outside. He strolled towards the back of the inn where the trees are located. He went behind one of the trunks of the tree and vanished from the area in the blink of an eye.
He can be seen floating in the air, landing on the rooftop of the inn, still in his invisible form.
As expected… his friend Dimitri was already there, sitting on the rooftop, waiting for him. He went to his side and lowered himself beside him. “My friend… fancy seeing you here!” he said with a smile.
Dimitri chuckled. “I live here, remember?” he said. “I see… you already made a move on my charge… so fast!” he commented casually.
Gustav cleared his throat. “A-are you mad at me for introducing myself to her?”
Dimitri shook his head. “Nah, I’m not mad. You’re just talking to her, not a big deal to me. Just don’t go overboard. Don’t even try kidnapping her and bringing her somewhere,” he warned him in a cold voice.
Gustav breathed deeply. “And what if I’ll do it?” he said, trying to tease him.
Dimitri looked at him sharply in the eyes. “You’re a dead man! The medallion will haunt you even if you hide Sabrina to the ends of the earth,” he said.
“Okay, got it! I’m glad that you give me permission to talk to her, don’t worry, I have no plans in kidnapping her. I know that the medallion won’t forgive me. I will just wait patiently after she comes out from her training,” Gustav assured him.
“Good! That issue is already settled between you and me,” Dimitri said and looked at the horizon. “Just stay true to your words and you will be fine,” he added.
“I will!” Gustav stated in a serious tone.
“Ah, one more thing. The girl is facing a big problem right now, so try to avoid adding to her heavy burden,” Dimitri told him.
Gustav raised a brow. “Oh, what kind of problem?” he asked curiously.
“Sabrina is trying to find her missing lover…” Dimitri replied.
“Whaaaaat-!?” Gustav asked, shocked by his friend’s revelation about the apple of his eyes.
“Yeah…”
“Y-you mean to say that she already had a lover?” Gustav asked the question that leaves a bitter taste in his mouth.
“Yup… Sabrina had a lover which is a wolf. They’re already an item before the medallion and I enter her life,” Dimitri explained.
Confusion marred Gustav’s handsome face. “And where is that wolf right now? How come I didn’t see him around Sabrina?”
“The wolf is missing and Sabrina was going crazy thinking about him. That’s why she’s here in this town trying to find him,” Dimitri elaborated further.
“Oh, my heart! It’s broken again!” Gustav whined. The expression on his face was that of someone about to cry.
Dimitri looked at his friend and chuckled. “You’re so funny, stop being a drama king!”
“Man! I’m really heartbroken right now,” Gustav said in a dispirited voice.
“I know!” Dimitri continues chuckling, he finds the expression on his friend’s face, funny as hell.
