The Beauty And The Wolf - Chapter 162
The following day.
The couple wakes up early and has breakfast in the eatery beside the inn. They already brought their bags with them, ready to go home after eating.
Sabrina enjoyed eating the eggplant omelet and fried rice. She noticed that Rhett was looking outside wearing a frown on his face. “What’s wrong, my love?” she asked.
Rhett looked at her. “I wonder how is Grandma Azere and Aunt Olga doing right now? The last time we talk to them they were heading to the Holybel Summit to investigate their teacher’s disappearance, then after that, they haven’t visited us in the cave again. I can’t help but get worried about them,” he said anxiously.
Sabrina recalled that the guardian assured her that Grandma Azere is in good condition, if that is the case then Aunt Olga is also doing well. But she can’t reveal the info to Rhett because he will be asking her why she knows about their condition, she can’t tell him about the medallion and the guardian.
The expression on her face was replaced by sadness instantly. “I’m worried of Grandma and Aunt Olga as well, but I’m also comforted with the fact that Grandma is quite capable, she can take care of herself,” she replied positively.
“Ah, I nearly forgotten about that…” Rhett said, smiling finally.
Sabrina felt relieved.
They resumed eating their breakfast.
After consuming all the food on her plate, Sabrina picked up her mug and drink her coffee. Then she remembered something… “Oh, I have nearly forgotten… we should buy gifts for your parents and your brothers!” she exclaimed.
“No problem, let’s go to the store and buy a present for them after we’re done here,” Rhett agreed.
A few minutes later.
The couple left the eatery and ventured to the stores nearby, buying presents for Rhett’s entire family.
After one hour, they finished shopping and finally went to the carriage station to board a passenger carriage going home.
After one hour of traveling, they exited the carriage at the village near the outskirts of the town.
They started their journey home, walking in the dense forest.
After one hour of walking… they come to a stream to drink water and rest for a while.
Sabrina scanned the area – surrounded by towering trees, wild bushes, and lush greenery. “Nice, relaxing place…” she murmured to herself.
Rhett was washing his muddy feet in the shallow water.
Then suddenly… Sabrina heard the growling of animals coming closer to the stream, when she looked around the trees… she saw wolves advancing towards the area, about fifteen of them…
Oh, no!
Rhett also heard the growling of wolves, alerting him of the sound of a pack of wolves. He looked at Sabrina, fearing for her life. He can transform into his wolf form, but Sabrina is human and vulnerable. He never had any experience fighting with his kind before, but he does have plenty of experienced killing snakes inside the cave.
He took a deep breath… his brain was thinking rapidly about how to save Sabrina from these wolves.
The wolves were stalling… they were watching the prey… waiting for the order to attack.
Suddenly… one of the wolves, the leader of the pack came forward and spoke. “We only want the girl, you can leave now!” he ordered.
Rhett was unable to reply for a moment, since they were surrounded, there will be no safe place for Sabrina to hide. If he will get busy fighting the wolves, chances are they will be able to get hold of Sabrina…
What to do?
Desperation flashed in Rhett’s eyes for a few seconds. This is not the time to hesitate. His time is running out! “Get behind that tree!” he shouted at Sabrina.
Right in front of the terrified Sabrina… Rhett transformed into his wolf form. Rhett’s transformation blows Sabrina’s mind away.
“Oh, so you want to fight to the death instead of leaving to save your life! How stupid!” the leader of the wolves sneered.
“If you touch my woman you will die!” Rhett replied with a menacing growl, ready to fight to the death to protect his girl.
The leader of the wolves attack Rhett and they began fighting fiercely.
Sabrina hide behind the trunk of the tree… frightened to death… she looked behind her and saw several wolves advancing towards her…
“Guardian, where are you!? Please help me! The wolves are coming for us!” she screamed for help in her mind.
The wolves are coming closer to her location while Rhett was busy fighting the leader of the wolves.
The guardian is still a no-show…
“Oh, God… what I’m gonna do…!?” she said in a petrified voice, her body was trembling in fear. She can only hug the bags to herself and bury her face on them to block the sight of the fierce-looking wolves advancing towards her.
“Guardian…medallion…please save me and my boyfriend from these scary wolves!” she begged desperately over and over again.
When she looked at the wolves, she was shocked to see them being thrown like rugs one by one into the air, as if they were fighting an invisible enemy that nobody can see…
‘It’s the guardian! He finally come to save us! Thank God!’ she murmured in delight. Huge relief washed over her.
All the wolves that were previously advancing towards her location were finally exterminated by the invisible enemy. Their dead bodies were scattered all over the ground.
A few minutes later.
The guardian showed himself to Sabrina. “Are you hurt?” he asked worriedly.
Sabrina shook her head. “I’m okay! You just arrived on time to save me. Please help Rhett, he is fighting with another wolf!” she pleaded.
Dimitri shrugged indifferently. “Let them fight…” he said casually.
Sabrina’s eyes widened in shock. “What the hell! Why are you not willing to help my boyfriend!? I don’t want him to die!” she said, glaring at him.
Smirking, Dimitri shook his head. “Nah… I want to see if Rhett is capable enough to kill his enemy to protect you. Let see… I’ll watch them fight and see who is the winner in the end…” Dimitri said, he made himself invisible again.
“Are you crazy!” Sabrina shouted, gritting her teeth in anger, extremely annoyed that the guardian refused to help her boyfriend. Damn him! Where is he!? Damn! He disappeared again!
Sabrina left the trunk of the tree and watches the two wolves fighting each other fiercely.
Then Sabrina saw the enemy pounce at Rhett viciously, Rhett was pinned to the ground struggling to get up, her eyes widened in horror after seeing blood trickling on Rhett’s side. She screamed in anger and rushed to the enemy. “Get off him! I’ll kill you!” she said menacingly.
She got hold of the foot of the enemy and with all her might pulled him away from Rhett.
What happened next blows her mind away… her hands were filled with incredible strength that came out from nowhere enabling her to pull the wolf away from her boyfriend and hurled the enemy to the nearest tree. The sheer force of her strength shocked her because the wolf’s body hit the trunk of the tree producing a loud thud, the wolf whimpered in pain, gasping for breath, and finally fall to the ground dead…
That was the last thing Rhett saw… the incredible moment when Sabrina pulled the wolf away from him and she hurled it to the trunk of the tree with a loud thud… then he fainted.
Sabrina hugged Rhett’s body and cried hysterically. “Please, don’t die on me! Please don’t die!”
Suddenly, Rhett’s body transformed into its human form. Sabrina stared in horror at the deep wound on Rhett’s side, fresh blood coming out from the gaping wound.
Dimitri finally showed himself beside Sabrina.
Sabrina looked at him, her eyes flashing with anger. “I hate you! You didn’t help him! Now he’s dying! I will never forgive you if he dies today!” she said vehemently.
Dimitri was shaking his head. “Relax, calm down, he’s not dead yet. He just fainted,” he stated calmly. He placed his right hand on the open wound, healing it in the process.
Stunned, Sabrina saw the wound starting to heal and finally gone as if it’s never there at all. There is no sight of blood and scar as well. “Incredible, the wound was healed instantly! Amazing!” she gushes as huge relief washed over her.
“You worry too much for nothing,” Dimitri scolded her softly.
Sabrina bit her lip wanting to retaliate but instead keep her mouth shut. This is not the right time for argument. They have just encountered a harrowing incident. Her body was still shaking in fright.
She closed her eyes for a moment, inhaling and exhaling fresh air into her lungs. She can finally relax and let her guard down since Rhett’s wound was already healed. She nearly has a nervous breakdown after seeing so much blood coming out from Rhett’s wound. She needs to slow down the beating of her heart.
Dimitri wrapped his black-cloaked around Rhett’s naked body. He looked at Sabrina. “Are you okay?” he asked.
Sabrina nods her head without looking at him. She was still annoyed at him.
Dimitri walked away, allowing Sabrina’s anger to cool down.
Sabrina looked at the retreating guardian. “Don’t walk too far away!” she said, fearing another attack from the wolves.
“I’m not going away,” Dimitri replied, reassuring her, then continue walking away. He found a nice spot to sit down a few meters away from Sabrina and her wolf.
Sabrina breathed in relief after seeing that the guardian was just a few meters away, guarding them. She looked at Rhett, he is naked. His clothes were ripped apart during his transformation.
She took the extra pants and shirts from the bag and began donning them on Rhett’s body.
Dimitri was watching the struggling Sabrina. “Need my help?” he asked.
Sabrina shook her head. “No need, I can manage,” she said and continue dressing Rhett.
A few minutes later, she successfully managed to put the clothes on Rhett’s body even though she struggled in the beginning due to his heavy bulk.
She stared at Rhett for a moment, thinking how much he had seen…. wondering what to do about their situation.
