The Beauty And The Wolf - Chapter 156

Sabrina looked into Rhett’s eyes. “Not only that… I can also leave the cave without gasping for breath…” she said.

Rhett’s eyes widened in shock. “Really-?” he asked in disbelief.

“Yes… watch me!” Sabrina said and walked outside and stayed there for a few minutes.

Rhett watched his beloved Sabrina stay outside the cave, holding his breath in fear… then he noticed that she didn’t collapse! He finally believed her claim. He rushed to her side and hugged her tightly, overwhelmed with happiness. “This is good! The cursed was broken at last! You can finally leave this cave without losing your breath!” he said, kissing her head.

“Yes!” Sabrina said happily.

“B-but how things come to this? I’m confused…” Rhett asked in bewilderment.

Sabrina grabbed Rhet’s hand. “Let’s talk in our room. I will explain everything…” she said.

They entered the cave and went to their room to have a serious talk regarding the mind-blowing transformation that is happening to Sabrina.

The couple cuddled on the bed.

“My love, start explaining to me how and when these things have taken place because I’m confused right now,” Rhett said.

Sabrina cleared her throat. “When you left for Grandma Azere’s hut, I fall asleep here right in the bed. When I woke up, I was shocked to see my hair already turned white… and when I saw my face in the mirror the hideous curse was already gone. Feeling happy, I run towards the entrance and out of the cave wanting to inform you about what happened to me. Due to my excitement and happiness… I’m gone out of the cave yet I no longer encounter the same shortness of breath as before. So, I stay a little longer outside… and I discovered that I can finally leave the cave without grasping for breath anymore. That’s all,” she concluded her narration.

Rhett scratches his head, overwhelmed by the sudden turn of events. “These are all too much for me to handle…” he finally said.

Sabrina pouted. “Why… you no longer like me because all my hair turned white?” she asked.

Rhett smiled. “No, not that… I rather welcome your white hair than your cursed face. It’s a welcome change considering that you can finally leave the cave freely. I’m happy for your transformation!” he said gratefully and planted a kiss on her lips.

The couple shared a passionate kiss on the lips that lasted for a few minutes.

After the kiss ended.

Sabrina looked at Rhett. “After one week, you and I will go home to the Golden Peak Valley to see your family, okay?”

Rhett smiled brightly. “That’s good! I’m looking forward to introduce you to my parents. They are eager to meet you!” he said ecstatically.

“I’m excited to meet them as well!” Sabrina replied enthusiastically. “But we must go to the town first…” she said.

Rhett raised a brow in confusion. “Why?”

“Because I want to buy a black wig to hide my white hair,” Sabrina said.

Rhett shook his head. “No need… I’m okay with your white hair and my family will also accept you for what you are,” he assured her.

Sabrina pouted. “But I still want to buy a black wig!” she insisted. “I don’t like meeting your parents sporting white hair. I will look older than them…” she joked.

Rhett chuckled. “Sure, no problem. One of these days, let’s go to town to buy you a pair of black wigs,” he relented.

Sabrina smiled brightly. “Thank you, my love,” she said and hugged him tightly.

“I can’t believe that in just one day… so many things have happened…” Rhett said, shaking his head in bewilderment.

Sabrina sighed inwardly. ‘My love, if you only know what happened. But I’m sorry… I have to shield you from the painful truth. It’s the best thing that I can do for you,’ she said inwardly. Out for her great love for him, she wanted to shield Rhett from the ugly truth, she should suffer from the truth alone on her own.

She wants it this way for both of them…

An expression of sadness flashed on Sabrina’s face.

Rhett noticed those fleeting moments of sadness on his girlfriend’s face. “My love, what’s wrong-?” he asked worriedly.

Sabrina shook her head and smiled brightly, masking quickly the sadness in her eyes. “Nothing… I’m just a bit sad about my white hair but once I can wear a black wig, I’ll be fine,” she lied.

“Don’t worry, we will buy a wig in the town, if you want,” Rhett said.

“Okay, thanks,” Sabrina said.

The couple enjoyed sweet moments inside the room. Sabrina relishes in the warmth of Rhett’s heavenly love knowing that she only has seven days to enjoy his presence.

Meanwhile…

Across the miles.

At the secret dungeon beneath the White Coven Castle.

A woman bathed by her blood can be seen lying on the ground. Both her hands and feet were bound by chains and tied to the post. She was barely breathing…

A door opened and a man in a white cloak entered the room. He went to the woman’s side. “Are you still breathing, Betty? If you will only tell me the place where you hide the medallion, you won’t suffer this much! You’re so stubborn!” he said angrily.

Betty coughed blood into the floor. “Y…you are not deserving of the medallion. It already had chosen it’s next guardian, you and I have no right to own it!” she said in labored breathing.

“I see… let me prove to you that I am the rightful guardian of the medallion!” the guy in the white cloak said.

Betty opened her eyes and looked at the Supreme Witch in the eyes. “You can’t force the medallion, it will choose its own guardian,” she repeated her statement weakly.

“I have a way to make the medallion chose me! Just tell me where is the medallion right now and I will spare your life!” the Supreme Witch shouted in an authoritative voice.

Betty shook her head. “No! The medallion has already chosen its own guardian, you should respect its wishes! You might succeed in taking my life but I will never reveal to you the medallion’s whereabouts!” she said defiantly.

The supreme witch laughed. “You are so stubborn even if you are already dying! But maybe, bringing your beloved students Azere and Olga here and killing them in front of you can make you reveal the whereabouts of the medallion… how about that Betty?” he said in a threatening voice.

“No! Spare my students! They are innocents, they have nothing to do about the medallion!” Betty cried.

“Then you should tell me where is the medallion now!” the supreme witch demanded.

Betty knew that the supreme witch will hunt her student if she will stubbornly bury the truth with her to her grave. She must act now before it’s too late. “Alright, you win! I will reveal the medallion’s whereabouts, but I will only tell Aston and not you… bring him here so that I can tell him where the medallion is,” she said.

“Why do you need Aston for? Why can’t you tell me?” the supreme witch asked angrily.

“Because I want him to promise me that the girl who got the medallion and my students are protected by him. I want them safe and protected because I know that the moment you will know the medallion’s whereabouts you will kill the girl and my students without mercy! I know you better than anyone else in this entire planet!” Betty hissed into his face.

The supreme witch laughed hysterically. “Then do you think that I won’t kill Aston too after I get the information from him?”

“You won’t and you can’t because Aston know your dark secrets and if you kill him, the whole White Coven Castle will know of your dark plan! And it will be your end!” Betty threatened him.

The supreme witch laughed even more. “Fine… it’s a good deal,” he said and stood up. “Alright, I’ll bring Aston here to your side quickly!” he said and left the room in haste.

After the door shut, Betty fainted on the cold hard floor.

…

Aston was indulging himself in pottery-making sessions, his favorite hobby. Suddenly there was a soft knocking on the door and he was informed by his assistant that the supreme witch wants him in his office.

He stood up and left the pottery room, wondering why he was being called by the supreme witch suddenly.

His instinct told him that something urgent is going on!

After cleaning himself in the bathroom of his room and donning clean clothes, he left his room and went to the office.

When he arrived in the office. The supreme witch was standing beside the window, his back on him. “I’m here, my lord!” he said, announcing his presence.

The supreme witch turned around and looked at Aston, he smiled. “Aston, I will bring you somewhere…” he said.

Aston raised a brow. “Where, my lord?” he asked.

“Someone wants to see you…” the supreme witch replied.

“Who?” Aston asked, his confusion intensifies.

“Your dear friend, Betty,” the supreme witch answered casually.

Aston’s eyes widened in shock and surprise. “Oh, so you know Betty’s whereabouts all this time?”

“Yes, of course!” the supreme witch responded.

Aston was shaking his head in a state of confusion. “B-but… I don’t understand…”

“Shh… I will explain everything after we arrive to the place where Betty is hiding. Follow me!” the supreme witch said and exited the room.

Stunned, Aston followed his leader. He’s having difficulty understanding why the supreme leader knows about Betty’s whereabouts yet he pretended that he doesn’t. His gut feeling heightens… something is wrong with the picture!

He will know soon enough!

He followed his leader room to room until they entered a secret passage going underground. They went down a long staircase and entered a dark room.

The moment they entered the darkroom, the light suddenly flooded the entire room.

Aston was shocked to see a woman covered with blood from head to toe lying on the floor, both of her feet and hands were chained.

Grinning, the supreme witch looked at Aston. “Say hello to your friend Betty. She specifically asked me to bring you here to say goodbye to you and she will also tell you the whereabouts of the medallion. Go now, talk to Betty!” he ordered.

‘Damn! She tortured Betty!’ Aston said inwardly. Things are getting out of hand. If Betty will reveal to him the whereabouts of the medallion, the supreme witch will never allow him to see the light of day again. He must play his card well today or end up dead alongside Betty.

He rushed to her side and touched her arm gently. “Betty, I’m here now….”
