The Beauty And The Wolf - Chapter 174

Azere and Aston can be seen walking back towards the house.

Olga was already awake during that time. She left her room and went to the kitchen to drink a glass of water then afterward she will go back to the burial site to join Azere.

She was about to leave the house when she heard the door opening, she flattened herself behind the kitchen wall.

“I think Olga is still sleeping in her room,” Azere said.

Olga heard Azere’s voice. Her brows knitted together. Who was she talking to?

When she took a peek, she saw Aston standing beside Azere. OMG! Aston is alive!

She left the kitchen and rushed to their side. “Aston! Is this really you?” she asked, teary-eyed. She can’t contain her happiness.

Aston smiled at the woman who repeatedly stabbed him on his chest. “Yes, dear. It’s me, risen from the dead!” he answered in amusement.

Olga broke down on the chair, a mixture of joy and relief bombarded her senses. Then she raised her head and looked at Aston. “I’m so sorry for stabbing you, I didn’t mean it,” she apologized fervently.

“It’s okay, I have no hard feelings towards you. I know that you have no intention of killing me. It’s just an accident. Let’s stop talking about it,” Aston said, wanting to leave the past behind especially now that the supreme witch and his men were already dead. He was planning to go back to the White Coven Castle anytime soon.

“Thank you so much for not holding any grudges towards me,” Olga said in a grateful voice. Huge relief washed over her.

Aston smiled. “Let’s forget the unfortunate things that happened yesterday, let’s just move on,” he said reassuringly.

“Right!” Azere said.

“Ah, girls. I will spend dinner with you before I take my leave,” Aston said.

Azere looked at him and raised a brow. “Where are you going?”

“Since the supreme witch and his men were already dead, I can finally go back home to the White Coven Castle,” Aston answered.

“Ah, I see…” Azere replied. “Alright, Olga and I will busy ourselves in the kitchen to prepare our meals for dinner. Your resurrection calls for a celebration!” she said merrily.

“Take your time, girls. By the way, can I take a swim in the lake? I need to get rid of the dirt on my body?” he said, asking their permission first.

“Sure!” Azere replied.

“Thank you,” Aston said and walked towards the door.

The ladies watched as Aston exited the door.

Olga released a deep sigh of relief. “Thank God, I’m no longer a murderer!” she said, feeling deeply relieved by Aston’s resurrection. “It’s indeed a miracle! Things were used to be impossible yesterday when it comes to Aston, but now he had come back to us alive! Thanks to the guardian and the medallion’s intervention!”

Azere patted her friend’s arms. “I’m glad it’s over now. We can finally continue to live in peace,” she said.

“Yes, finally!” Olga seconded.

“Let’s go to the garden at the back of the house to harvest fresh vegetables that we can use for our dishes tonight,” Azere said.

“Okay,” Olga said with a nod of her head.

The women left the house through the kitchen door and went to the vegetable garden located at the back of the house.

The women harvest green leafy vegetables and put them in the basket. Then Olga captured one chicken to be roasted for dinner.

Meanwhile…

Aston was having fun swimming in the lake. “Thank you, guardian, and medallion for resurrecting my life!” he said aloud, hoping they could hear his heartfelt gratitude for their timely intervention.

Unknown to Aston, Dimitri was floating in the air. He heard everything that Aston had spoken in the air.

He left the area and went back to the couple.

Back in the forest.

Sabrina was alone in the vegetable garden, watering the plants. On the other hand, Rhett was gathering firewood nearby.

After she finished watering the plants, Sabrina sat on the ground under the shade of the tree, glancing at Rhett’s location. She was sporting a sad expression on her face. Tomorrow she and Rhett will be separated again.

Tomorrow before they will part their ways, she will inform Rhett about her destiny as the next guardian of the medallion. She will see him again after fifty years.

She can already feel the extreme sadness and longing suffocating her senses. She wanted to cry hard right now but feared that Rhett might return any moment now. She doesn’t want him to see her crying, he will start asking her questions. She feared that she might reveal the truth to him today and it might destroy the good mood that they were enjoying today.

Since this will be their last day together, she will keep the atmosphere happy so that she can remember their happy moments together.

Suddenly…

The guardian materialized beside her. “What is your plan for tomorrow?” he asked.

Sabrina looked at him. “Tomorrow afternoon, I will tell Rhett everything, then afterward, we will bring him to her family’s doorsteps,” she said.

“Copy,” Dimitri said and quickly vanished from the area the moment he saw Rhett returning to the place.

Sabrina looked in Rhett’s direction and saw him coming to the garden, carrying loads of firewood on his shoulder.

Rhett put down the firewood under the house to shelter it from the rain. Then he went to Sabrina’s side and sat beside her. He kissed her head and noticed something on her face. “My love, you wore a problematic expression on your face for a few seconds. Are you okay? Is there something bothering you?” he asked worriedly.

Sabrina smiled sweetly, quickly masking the sadness in her eyes. “No… nothing is wrong. I’m just a bit worried about tomorrow. We will leave this place and walk on foot to reach your village. We might encounter wolves along the way,” she said.

Rhett nodded his head and sighed deeply. “Don’t worry about that scenario. We won’t be heading to the same path where we were ambushed by the wolves in the past. We will take a different route this time, there is another safer route back to our village,” he said, reassuring her.

Sabrina sighed. “Okay, I believe you,” she spoke and rested her head on his shoulder.

Rhett kissed her head again. “Don’t worry too much, everything will be alright,” he stated.

A few minutes later.

Sabrina stood up and said, “I’ll go inside the house to prepare for dinner.”

“Okay, I’ll help you prepare our meal in the kitchen,” Rhett said and rose to his feet.

The couple left the garden and entered the house.

Back in Laswich Mountain.

The women were busy preparing their dishes in the kitchen when Aston entered and sat on the chair, looking at the women in a flurry of activity.

“What are you preparing, girls?” he asked, looking at the raw chicken on the platter.

“We’re going to have a feast for dinner tonight. A celebration for your resurrection!” Azere answered with a smile.

Aston grinned. “Nice!” he gushes. “Do you need any help?” he asked.

“Yeah, we need some water because the jar is drying up,” Olga replied.

“No problem, I’ll fetch some water from the lake,” Aston said and stood up, he picked up the jar nearby.

The women watched Aston exit the kitchen door carrying the water jar with one hand.

Azere looked at Olga. “What’s wrong?” she asked ‘coz she saw that her friend’s gaze was fixated at the closed door, looking like she was in a daze.

Olga sighed, she was shaking her head. “I still can’t believe it. Just yesterday, I felt so down after killing Aston, now we are preparing a feast for his resurrection, it’s so surreal!” she said.

Azere patted her friend’s shoulder gently. “Give it a rest. Aston is alive and that is all that matters right now.”

“Alright, I will get used to it somehow,” Olga said and resumed stuffing the stomach of the chicken with herbs, spices as well as salt.

A few minutes later, Olga began roasting the chicken beside the pot.

Azere was also cooking her specialty for the night, vegetable stew added with slices of pork dried under the sun.

Back in Azere’s hut in the forest.

The couple was enjoying cooking their meals in the kitchen.

Rhett would occasionally plant kisses on Sabrina’s lips and cheeks to the latter’s delight.

Sabrina looked at him in amusement. “Why are you so extra romantic today?” she asked.

“Am I? I’m always romantic towards you, haven’t I?” Rhett said and kissed her nape.

Sabrina giggled. “You’re getting horny!” she accused him playfully.

Rhett chuckled and hugged her tightly, kissing her temple. “I just want to get you pregnant quickly so that we can start a family soon!” he said, kissing her lips again.

The couple shared a passionate kiss in the middle of the kitchen, their intense lip duel lasted for a few minutes.

Sabrina giggled after the kiss ended. “Oh, my! We still need to cook the remaining dish!” she said and resumed her task.

Rhett smiled and lowered himself on the chair, happily watching Sabrina, his soon-to-be wife. His eyes were shimmering, overflowing with tenderness and love for her.

One hour later.

The couple finished cooking their meals, settled on the chair, and began eating with gusto.

After they finish eating, they clean the kitchen and wash the dishes together.

Afterward, they went outside to enjoy the beautiful evening, admiring the magical display of bright stars and the splendid full moon in the sky.

Back in the Laswich Mountain.

The trio was enjoying their feast at the kitchen table.

Aston looked at the ladies. “Girls, thank you for your hard work in preparing a delicious dinner! I’m looking forward to spending moments like this with you in the near future. I hope you will still welcome me in your house,” he said, smiling brightly.

Azere and Olga smiled.

“You are always welcome here!” Azere said.

“Yes, please… Visit us from time to time if you’re not busy,” Olga replied with a smile.

“I will!” Aston said.

They resumed eating.

Half an hour later, they finished eating dinner.

Aston stood up. “Girls, time for me to go home. Take care of yourselves,” he said.

“Take care of yourself as well,” Azere responded.

“Bye bye!” Aston said and vanished from the kitchen a few seconds later.

The women cleaned the kitchen and washed the dirty dishes in the sink, then retired to the living room to rest for the night and to discuss the current events in their lives.
