The Beauty And The Wolf - Chapter 166

Hours went by.

The sun is already set on the horizon, the night is coming.

Sabrina and Rhett just finished preparing their meal and ate dinner at the kitchen table.

After they finished eating, the couple tidied the table and washed the dirty dishes together.

A few minutes later, the couple retired to their room.

“The night is still early…” Rhett said casually.

“Yes, it is,” Sabrina nodded her head.

“Let’s go outside the house and watch the beautiful night. There’s a full moon tonight and the stars are shining brightly in the sky,” Rhett said.

“Okay,” Sabrina finally agreed.

They left the room and went outside the house. They sat on the wooden chair, looking heavenward, gazing at the bright sky above while holding each other’s hands.

Sabrina smiled happily. This is such a romantic night. When she was still inside the cave, she dreamed of spending this kind of special moment with Rhett, gazing at the beautiful stars above in the open air, it’s finally happened several times already! Her heart was bursting with joy.

Romantic moments like this are meant to last forever.

Rhett looked at Sabrina. “My love, before we go home to our village, we should leave a letter for Grandma Azere and Aunt Olga. Just in case they come here, they will know that we are safe and heading to my village to see my family,” he said.

“Yes, of course!” Sabrina responded with a nod of her head. She rested her head on her shoulder savoring his heavenly presence.

She looked at the sky above wondering why the green-colored barrier was no longer up in the air? Maybe the guardian removed it after realizing that wolves won’t come tonight.

She smiled and planted a kiss on Rhett’s cheek. “I love you,” she whispered.

Rhett looked at her and smiled. “I love you more, my love!” he responded and kissed her head lovingly.

They stayed outside for another hour to admire the beautiful night and afterward retreated inside the house to rest for the night.

Meanwhile…

Dimitri was still hovering up there in the air in his invisible form, scanning the whole area left and right to see if the wolves were coming tonight to launch an attack on the couple.

During the ambush in the forest, he knows that one of the wolves was able to flee to safety and he was confident that it already informed the other wolves of what happened to his pack. Revenge is on the card.

He does not wish to kill any more wolves tonight, but if they still insist on attacking the couple they will die!

His gaze was drawn in the direction of the dense forest. He noticed some movement there.

Then out of the blue…

The gray wolves, about fifty of them, can be seen marching towards the location of Azere’s hut.

Dimitri sighed. He hovered towards the direction of the pack and when he was already above them, he spoke in a loud voice. “You are about to enter a prohibited place! Go home if you don’t want to die tonight!” he warned them.

The wolves looked at the sky above and saw no one but they heard the voice loud and clear.

The leader of the wolves ignored the warning and gave his order to his men. “Attack!” he commanded.

Ten wolves rushed in the direction of the hut only to start catching fire on their body the moment their furs came in contact with the invisible barrier.

The leader of the pack looked at the sight of his men burning in front of his eyes. Loud growls of pain echoed in the whole area.

Everyone rushed to their comrades’ side, trying to put off the fire.

A few minutes later, they succeed in eliminating the fire, saving the lives of their comrades.

The leader looked at the space in front of him. He knows that it will be stupidity to continue attacking the hut when they are facing a deadly invisible barrier ahead and a formidable enemy that can’t be seen. They will all die tonight if they continue their plan.

He addressed his pack. “Retreat!” he commanded. “Let’s go back to our territory!” he repeated urgently.

The wolves retreated, bringing the injured with them.

Dimitri smiled. “The leader is wise!” he commented. He will not remove the invisible barrier as long as the couple is still staying inside the hut. It’s better to be safe than sorry.

Meanwhile…

At the Laswich Mountain.

Olga was fidgeting on her bed. She’s not sleepy yet. Her thoughts kept coming back to the new occupants of Azere’s hut.

Who are they?

If her instinct is right, they could be the wolf and Sabrina!

But she wants to be 100% sure first!

She rose from the bed, grabbed her brown cloak, and donned it. Then she initiated the teleportation process in her mind.

A few minutes later, she landed outside the cave and immediately felt the deadly aura of the invisible barrier. She immediately rose in the air and hovered farther north to get away from the deadly barrier as possible.

She was hovering in the air, wondering who the hell erected a deadly barrier around this area? How can she go to the hut safely and investigate the new occupants there?

C-could it be that Sabrina was the one who activated the invisible deadly barrier?

But why? And what for?

‘For protection of course!’ a small voice answered her question.

This is getting interesting!

She continued hovering in the air and encircled the area, careful not to get too close to the deadly barrier. She was trying to find an opening, a safe passage towards the hut.

A few minutes later, she finally gave up. There is no such thing as safe passage. The entire area was encompassed by a deadly barrier, it would be impossible to bypass it without getting burned to ashes in the process.

Never mind!

She will return tomorrow or the next day!

Maybe the deadly invisible barrier is already gone by then.

She teleported back to her room in the Laswich Mountain.

She landed in her room only to discover that Azere was already inside, waiting for her.

Azere looked at Olga and directed her a questioning glance. “Where have you been?” she asked.

Olga scratched her head. “Um… I went outside the house to breathe fresh air,” she lied.

“But I told you that you shouldn’t leave the house because it’s dangerous outside. Why are you still leaving the house without informing me first?” Azere scolded her.

Olga sighed and rolled her eyes. “Stop worrying, I’m already back safe and sound,” she insisted.

“So, tell me, where have you been?” Azere pressed her.

Olga took a deep breath and decided to come out clean. “I went to your hut to check if the couple is already back there because I noticed that your hut has new occupants. When I investigated further, I saw the clothes of the wolf and Sabrina on the cabinet,” she finally revealed her discovery.

“Whaaaaaat?” Azere’s eyes widened in excitement. “Are you sure?”

Olga shrugged. “Well, I don’t have the chance to see who the new occupants are because your butterfly suddenly materialized in the hut and informed me that you want me back in Laswich Mountain, Asap!” she explained.

“Alright, let’s go there right now!” Azere said excitedly.

“No! We can’t go to the hut at this moment because the whole place was protected by an invisible barrier, so deadly it will burn us alive. Anyone who enters that protective area will die!” Olga answered, refusing to go.

“Oh…” Disappointment marred Azere’s face. “How could that be? Who erected the deadly barrier?”

“Maybe it’s Sabrina? She already has the missing medallion in her position,” Olga took a wild guess.

“Nah….” Azere shook her head. “I don’t believe it’s Sabrina. She knows nothing about creating such powerful barriers…” she stated.

“Then who could it be? Who is responsible for creating that deadly barrier?” Olga asked.

“Maybe it’s the current guardian, or the medallion itself,” Azere replied.

A frown appeared on Olga’s face. “But why? Why would the medallion create a deadly barrier? What is it for?” she asked, confused.

“I don’t know what’s going on down there. We will know the truth soon enough,” Azere spoke.

“I should go back there again tomorrow. Maybe the invisible barrier is already gone,” Olga suggested.

“No. You won’t go alone there, I’ll come with you,” Azere said.

“Okay, let’s go together and investigate the new occupants of your house,” Olga agreed.

“Alright, let’s go to sleep early. Good night,” Azere said.

“Night night,” Olga responded.

Azere exited the door and went back to her room. On the way, she spotted Aston sleeping soundly on the floor.

She entered her room, turned off the light, and went to bed to sleep.

She kept tossing on the bed, unable to sleep. Her mind was preoccupied with Sabrina’s safety and well-being.

She can’t help but get worried about Sabrina’s mental capacity to be the next guardian of the medallion. The girl is not fit to be one.

She can’t wait for the morning to come so that she can head to the hut and see Sabrina with her own eyes.

She was bothered by the deadly invisible barrier erected around the place. What does it mean? Is Sabrina’s life in danger?

Dang! If the barrier was not there she was already back to her hut to see if the new occupants of her house are indeed Sabrina and Rhett. She was curious to know what happened after they went missing.

Their disappearance from the cave is a big mystery to her and Olga.

Where did they go? And what happened during those days that they disappeared from the cave?

She has many questions running in her mind right now that are making her wide awake.

Dang, it! She can’t sleep!

Azere forced her mind to relax so that she could finally go to sleep.

One hour later, she finally drifted into a deep slumber.
