The Beauty And The Wolf - Chapter 155

Waking up, Sabrina rubbed her eyes…

“Where am I?” she asked and scanned the room.

An expression of utter surprise plastered on her face. “OMG! I’m back in the cave!”

She was lying on the wooden bed while Rhett was sleeping soundly beside her.

Then she remembered that they were on the beach earlier!

So… this means… the guardian pitied her and brought her and Rhett back into the cave where everything took place.

She can’t believe this!

Tears of happiness appeared in her eyes. She left the bed and went outside to find the guardian to thank him for giving her a chance to spend time with Rhett.

She found the guardian standing in front of the cave, staring at the horizon above. She went to his side.

Dimitri turned around and looked at her. “You can’t bring the wolf into the sacred training ground, that’s why I brought you to this place where your love story with the wolf has started and blossomed,” he said casually.

“Thank you so much! I appreciate it very much!” Sabrina said tearfully.

“Don’t mention it. I deactivated the curse in this cave so that you and Rhett won’t have to worry about it,” Dimitri informed her.

“Thank you so much!” Sabrina said gratefully.

“I’ll come back here after seven days to bring Rhett back home to his family and also to bring you back to the training ground so that we can start your training,” Dimitri added.

“Okay. I got it,” Sabrina said. She cleared her throat. “Um… before you go, can I ask you a favor?” she asked.

“Say it…” Dimitri said.

“Um… can you cure Rhett? He was now reduced to an empty shell. He’s not the same guy I met before. I know that you are very much capable when it comes to this matter. Can you please restore all of Rhett’s missing memories?” she begged.

Dimitri was silent for a long time. Debating whether to grant Sabrina her wish or not?

“What will happen if I will restore his memories? What is your plan? Are you planning to elope with him and no longer continue with the training?” Dimitri asked.

Sabrina was silent for a few minutes, pondering about the question.

Dimitri was analyzing the expression on Sabrina’s face. He saw great confusion on her face.

The truth is… Sabrina was considering eloping with Rhett after his memories were restored. But she was also aware that the guardian can find them wherever they will go – even if they will hide to the ends of the earth.

Dimitri sighed and spoke, “I know it! You are going to elope with the wolf! I have to remind you that if I restore Rhett’s memories it will only hurt him in the long run, because he will go crazy thinking about you… He won’t be able to move on with his life. If you love him, set him free because soon enough both of you are going to lead a different life after you leave this cave.”

Sabrina breathed deeply. The guardian’s explanation confused her even more.

Dimitri cleared his throat. “You can only choose from the two options that I’m going to give you. The first option, I will restore his memories and you will live in bliss with him for one week and then both of you will live a separate lives afterward. Second option, Rhett will continue to be this way, an empty shell of his former self, it’s another way of sparing him from the devastating pain. If you chose the 2nd option, Rhett only love one person in his heart and that is you. If you chose the first option, chances are… after fifty years of training you will visit him and you will discover painfully that he already move on and created a family of his own…”

Sabrina was weighing her option in her mind.

“… and one more thing… after fifty years of training… the wolf is already old. He would be about 70 years old during that time, old enough to be your father. On the other hand, you will stay forever young. Are you going to continue your love affair with him despite his old age?” Dimitri asked.

Shocked, Sabrina stared at the guardian. She didn’t think about the age difference after fifty years. She was indeed planning to visit Rhett and rekindle their love story after she finished her training. The guardian is right, Rhett would be an old man during that time.

She shut her eyes for a few minutes, feeling confused more than ever. What is the right decision for her to take?

She bit her lip, she was having a hard time making the right life-altering decision. She looked at the guardian. “I’m confused right now. Can you give me a minute, please? I have to think carefully…” she pleaded.

“Alright, I’ll return after two hours. I put the wolf in a deep sleep, he will wake up five hours later,” Dimitri said and walked away, going in the direction of the woods.

Sabrina watched the guardian enter the woods and disappeared from her sight. She went back inside the cave. She entered Amara’s room and looked at the wooden bed covered with dust. She shut her eyes for a moment as the pain of betrayal racked her whole body.

“Amara, I’ve been kind to you! But how did you repay my kindness!? I hate you forever! I will never forgive you!” she said, her body trembling with rage.

After a few minutes, her anger subsided. She left the room and return to Rhett’s side in the other room. She climbed the bed, looked at her beloved, and caressed his handsome face lovingly.

“I miss you so much, my love! Now we’re back together in each other’s arms. But our reunion will also lead to another separation. Why does our relationship have to end this way? Why our love story can’t have a happy ending? Why?” she lamented in agony, tears filling her eyes.

She lie down beside him and wrapped her arms around him. Sooner or later, she has to make a decision. But for now, she wants to enjoy his presence as long as she can.

“I love you so much, Rhett!” Sabrina whispered in his ears, teary-eyed.

Time went by.

Two hours later.

There was a soft knock on the door and Sabrina already know who it is. She left Rhett’s side and opened the door. The guardian stood in the doorway.

“I’m back!” he said.

Sabrina sighed and looked at Rhett for a few minutes.

Dimitri entered the room and asked Sabrina, “So… what is your decision?”

Sabrina took a deep breath. “I finally reached a decision…”

“I see… so… which is which? Option 1 or 2?” Dimitri asked.

“I want you to restore his memories before I went missing…” she replied.

A frown appeared on Dimitri’s face. “You don’t want him to remember the day when you were gone from his side and he nearly went crazy trying to find you everywhere?”

Sabrina nodded her head. “Yes! Just restore the memories he had before I disappeared from the cave… I can still remember that he went to Grandma Azere’s house to get some food supplies, upon his return to the cave he finally discovered that I disappeared…” Sabrina explained.

Dimitri was rubbing his chin. “Hmm… if I do that… he will be confused why your hair is white and your face is back to normal. How are you going to explain all that mind boggling transformation to him?” he asked.

“Just leave the explanation part to me. Just do your part and restore his memory. That’s all I’m asking from you,” Sabrina insisted.

“Okay fine. Shall I start now?” Dimitri asked.

“Yes. But bring him to Grandma Azere’s place first. Initiate the restoration of his memories there so that when he awakened from his slumber, the events will unfold the same way it happened on the same day he discovered that I disappeared from the cave,” Sabrina explained.

“Alright, I got it! I’ll bring him now to Azere’s hut,” Dimitri said and touched Rhett’s arm.

A few minutes later, the two men disappeared from the room.

Sabrina sighed in relief. Time to prepare herself mentally and emotionally for Rhett’s arrival.

She removed the wig from her head and comb her white hair with her fingers. She went to the corner and grabbed her bag which was covered with dust. She fished out the small mirror from the pocket of the bag and looked at herself in the mirror.

She still looks the same, the only difference is her white hair. White hair is better than her cursed face. Done making herself presentable, she left the room and waited for Rhett’s arrival at the entrance of the cave.

While waiting for Rhett, her heart was beating faster in her rib cage.

Her face brimming with excitement. She can’t wait to see him again in his old self.

Fifteen minutes later.

Sabrina saw Rhett walking in the distance, coming from the direction of Grandma Azere’s hut.

Sabrina looked at Rhett, wearing a bright smile on her face.

Rhett is getting closer to the cave when he was already a few meters away from the entrance of the cave… he was astonished to see a white-haired woman standing in the mouth of the cave wearing a bright smile on her face.

A frown appeared on his face, upon closer inspection, he noticed that the white-haired lady is no other than his beloved girlfriend, Sabrina!

Stunned, he rushed to her side. “My love, what happened to your hair? And your face is back to normal! Amazing! What is going on?” he asked, confused.

Overwhelmed with happiness, Sabrina looked deeply into his eyes and murmured, “I miss you so much!” she replied and hugged him tightly. He’s back in his old self! She’s overjoyed.

A mixture of relief and happiness overwhelmed her senses, Sabrina began sobbing hard in his arms.
