The Beauty And The Wolf - Chapter 169

Azere’s hands released deadly flames wanting to harm the stranger whom she thought was the one responsible for Olga’s current condition.

“Don’t shoot! I’m not the enemy, I’m the guardian!” The man in black cloak quickly identified himself. He lowered himself on the ground, feeling Olga’s pulse. “She’s still breathing!” he said and grasped the tip of the arrow.

Azere watched the arrow dissolve into small particles in the hands of the guardian. Then he flattened his hands on the area of Olga’s chest where fresh blood can be seen oozing from the wound made by the arrow.

A few minutes later.

The guardian finally removed his hands…

Azere stared in astonishment at the area where the wound used to be, it was gone! The blood also disappeared. She looked at the guardian in awe. “Thank you so much!” she said happily, her heart was overflowing with relief and gladness.

“Don’t mention it!” Dimitri said. He carefully lifted Olga’s injured body and carried her in his arms effortlessly.

Azere rushed to the house and opened the door. They entered and went to Olga’s room to settle her in the bed.

Azere looked at the guardian, whose face was concealed by the hood. “What am I going to do next? Will Olga be alright?” she asked anxiously. She was still reeling from the shock of nearly losing her friend today.

“Yes. If I come too late, it would be impossible to revive her. But she is lucky, today is not the time yet for her to die,” Dimitri replied casually.

“When will she wake up?” Azere asked.

“She will wake up at the right time. Give her time to recover, her body is still recovering from the shock right now. But she’s already far from danger,” Dimitri reassured her.

“Thank you so much for saving Olga’s life!” Azere said in a heartfelt tone.

“Don’t mention it. I’m glad to be of help during these turbulent times,” Dimitri spoke. “By the way, I followed you here because Sabrina asked me to give you these gifts that she had bought from the town when she and Rhett went there the other day,” he said. A bag containing two summer dresses materialized in his hands.

Azere accepted Sabrina’s gift and said, “Please give Sabrina our thanks. I appreciate her gifts for us.”

“I will,” Dimitri replied. “Who destroyed your house? Is it the supreme witch?”

“Of course! He’s the one! No one else can do this to us!” Azere answered in an enraged tone. Then she noticed that Aston was nowhere to be found. She had a bad feeling about his sudden disappearance.

The only way to know what truly happened to the house during her absence is to summon the magic mirror whom she instructed to record everything.

She waved her hand in the air. The magic mirror suddenly appeared in the air. “Show me what happened here during my absence!” she commanded.

The mirror began displaying the events that took place in the house just like a movie. A mist appeared out of nowhere and began enveloping the entire house. Aston was sitting on the sofa in the living room during that time. After inhaling the mist, he suddenly collapsed on the sofa, unconscious.

Men in white cloaks arrived at the house.

Two men went to the sofa and grabbed Aston, then they vanished from the house.

The rest of the men trashed the house, then they all disappeared afterward. They left behind a devastating ruin that broke Azere and Olga’s hearts.

“So, they took Aston away…” Dimitri commented casually.

Azere looked at the guardian, a surprised expression registered on her face. “H-how did you know about Aston and the supreme witch?” she asked in wonderment.

“I know everything,” Dimitri replied nonchalantly.

“Ah, okay…” Azere said. She reminded herself that the guardian was gifted with limitless capabilities due to the power that the medallion had bestowed upon him. So, why not ask for his help to locate Aston? Why not? There is nothing to lose if she will try asking for his assistance. “Um, can you help us locate Aston’s whereabouts? Please?” she requested.

Dimitri looked at Azere for a moment then he replied, “I’ll see what can I regarding your request. I will let you know if I already found his location,” he said. “If nothing else, I’ll take my leave now…”

“Okay. Thank you so much for saving Olga’s life, we owe you big time,” Azere said, feeling grateful for his help.

“Don’t mention it,” Dimitri said and vanished from the house in the blink of an eye.

Sighing, Azere went to check on Olga. Her friend is breathing normally and the wound on her chest was no longer there, she feels tremendous relief that the worst is over now.

She left the room and proceed to the basement, she opened the secret door and went inside.

Inside the room.

Azere opened her palm and released the two medallions, they floated in the air and went back to their original position, floating in the air above the table.

Done with her task in the secret room, she left the basement and went back to Olga’s room to check on her. When she arrived there, Olga was still sleeping. She covered her friend’s body with the blanket and left the room.

She went to the kitchen and made herself a cup of tea and brought it to Olga’s room.

She will stay in the room until Olga wakes up. She wants to be by her side when she opens her eyes to reassure her that everything is alright.

She sat on the chair and sipped her tea wondering where the supreme witch hides Aston? It could be anywhere far from here? Or they probably brought Aston to the White Coven Castle and hid him in the basement just like what they have done to Mother.

Everything is possible!

She was getting worried that they were also torturing Aston right now, she hoped not! Although she hasn’t fully trusted Aston until now, she didn’t wish him to suffer badly at the hands of the supreme witch.

The enemy was not merciful to Mother even if she is a woman. She had a bad feeling that they wouldn’t hesitate to treat Aston the same way.

Her only hope right now is the guardian, she was hoping that he will help them find Aston and bring him back to safety.

Azere finished sipping her coffee, she put it on the table and went to the window, looking at the far distance.

She remained in that position for some time.

Two hours later.

Olga stirred in her sleep. Her eyelids fluttered, she slowly opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling of her room. Suddenly she recalled everything that happened to her, oh no! She sat upright and looked at her chest, expecting to see the tip of the arrow protruding on her chest and the unbearable pain that follows afterward, that’s what she remembered before pitch darkness completely took over her senses.

She was surprised to find nothing of that sort on her chest. Where is that arrow that penetrated her back and pierced her chest? Why is it gone now? And there was no sign of wound when there should be one!

Is it a dream? Was she dreaming about the whole thing?

But she was 100% sure that it was not a dream!

She saw the familiar sight of her room. Happiness shone brightly in her eyes as the awareness surged through her body after realizing that she wasn’t dead yet!

She’s still alive!

What a miracle!

The door opened and Azere entered the room. She rushed to Olga’s side after she saw her friend awake already. “How are you feeling right now?” she asked worriedly.

“I’m feeling fine, but where is the arrow that hit me?” Olga asked. “I saw it with my eyes before I passed out, I’m sure of what I saw! Was that a dream?” she asked in bewilderment.

Azere shook her head. “What happened to you is not a dream, but a tragic reality that almost killed you. Someone shoots an arrow through your back, piercing your chest. As I hold you dying in my arms, suddenly, a hero appeared from nowhere and saved you, stopping the blood from flowing out from the wound and within just a few minutes, he completely healed you. As you can see, there was not even a scar to remind you that you were shot fatally by an arrow earlier…” she explained.

Olga’s eyes narrowed in confusion. “W-what did you say? A hero came to save me from a certain death? Who is that hero? Do I know that person?” she asked.

“He is no other than the guardian of the medallion. He followed us here because Sabrina wanted to give us the summer dress as her gift to us. He saw what happened to you and immediately appeared to save you from death. You owe him your second life,” Azere stated.

“Where is he? I want to personally thank him!” Olga said, feeling thankful for the guardian’s timely intervention that eventually saves her life.

“He already left after reassuring me that you are going to be fine after you wake up,” Azere replied.

“Oh…” Olga said, feeling disappointed.

“Don’t worry, I have a feeling that he will return soon,” Azere spoke.

“Why are you confident that he will come back?” Olga asked.

“Because I asked his help to find Aston’s location,” Azere answered.

A frown appeared on Olga’s face, she asked, “What happened to Aston?”

Azere waved her hand in the air, summoning the magic mirror. “Magic mirror, show us what happened to the house during my absence!” she commanded.

The magic mirror began projecting the events that transpired on the house during the attack of the supreme witch’s men.

Olga gasped in shock, seeing the men kidnapping Aston and trashing the whole house made her heart boil in anger. “Despicable! I will kill them all!” she said indignantly.

Azere released a deep sigh. “That’s right if they will come here again! I will never show them an ounce of mercy anymore!” she said furiously.

The rage was boiling in Azere’s eyes. She was mad that the enemies didn’t appreciate the warning that she had shown upon them when they fell into the foul-smelling dark liquid. When they attempted to kill Olga with an arrow earlier, they only meant one thing, war!

“No more mercy for them!” Olga blurted angrily, her eyes flashing with murderous intent.

Azere nodded her head in agreement.. “Yeah! Let’s get ready for their return! Let’s get ready for war!” she hissed indignantly.
