Beast King's Crippled Mate-Chapter 229: A Secret Rendesvouz

"I-I don’t think that’s the right thing to do. I’m sure you two have secrets that I shouldn’t know," Long Xiurong refused. However, deep down, she was curious if Queen Swan had written something about her because she had promised to help Long Xiurong and Rock get together.

"I have nothing to hide from you, Lady Long," Rock stated. "I think it’s only fair since you’ve been keeping my presence secret. You could always tell His Majesty about my presence, but you didn’t. So, I trust you enough."

Long Xiurong hesitated for a few seconds. She stared at Rock as if searching for assurance. Rock gently held her hand and guided her to sit at the edge of the bed while he sat next to her.

Honestly, he didn’t care if Long Xiurong knew about the content of the letter or not. He was doing this so he could have a reason to sit next to her and take a whiff of the scent around her nape.

He opened the letter but secretly took sniff after sniff of her scent like a dog in heat. He bit his lip, as he gradually realized one thing, ’There’s no mistake. Her scent is truly one of a kind. It’s really hard to control myself right now.’

Rock didn’t want to scare Lady Long just like when he scared his Princess Swan back then. He knew the situation was different, but what he did to his Princess back then was too horrible to even think of. It made him feel like he would hurt Lady Long as well.

Rock crossed his legs as he tried to hide his boner. Luckily, the angle of the letter made it possible for him to cover his bulge with the letter. But the whole situation felt stimulating because now it seemed like Long Xiurong was looking at his crotch.

Rock shook his head lightly and berated himself, ’Focus, Rock Silverfang! You don’t want to scare her, right? I don’t want to hurt someone else after I failed Princess Swan before!’

Pushing his improper thought aside, Rock decided to focus on the letter and read it;

*Swan’s Letter*

To my dearest knight, Rock Silverfang.

I’ve received your letter and read it well.

I’m so glad to hear you are doing well. I was worried that something might’ve happened to you during your escape to the north continent. But I shouldn’t have doubted you, since I know that you are the second strongest after my husband.

My dearest knight, I am in good health, and the situation around the castle has gotten better as well. You do not need to worry about me. frёewebnoѵēl.com

I prefer you to be as strong as your Alpha, my husband, Gale Stormfront. So you and he can go toe to toe and have a proper conversation without him hunting you down.

However, if the path of becoming as strong as him will lead you to be cursed like he was, then I forbid you to enter the Sacred Selene Lake. My husband suffers every day due to his curse, I don’t want you to inflict the same pain on yourself.

My dearest knight, I always believe that time will heal everything. My husband might be angry at you for now, but I believe he will eventually forgive you, and you can officially return to the castle when that time comes.

On a little note, Lady Long said that you are a handsome young wolf. If your instinct told you that she is the one, why don’t you write me a letter to confirm it? I will happily set up a rendezvous for the two of you. I know that you must’ve been lonely, my dearest knight.

So maybe, this is the right time to find your true mate, right?

- Your dearest Princess, Swan Asmara.

*Swan’s letter ends*

Long Xiurong felt that she could explode right now. She was glad that Queen Swan mentioned her in the letter, but she was also embarrassed as she got caught red-handed for calling Rock Silverfang a ’handsome young wolf.’

"I-I don’t remember ever calling you that. M-maybe Queen Swan heard it wrong!" Long Xiurong stammered as she tried to deny it.

Rock folded the letter and put it in his pocket, "Well, I don’t mind at all if you said it. What my Princess said is true, I’ve been very lonely all this time with no friends, no mate, and no soldiers. I thought I could continue living like this forever, until I met you, Lady Long."

"M-me?"

"Yes," Rock pinched Long Xiurong’s chin and forced her to look at him. As their eyes met, he uttered what was on his mind this whole time, "In the wolf beastmen culture, we—the male wolf—detect our fated mates by their scents. We don’t react to the scent of a female that is not supposed to be our fated mate."

"Then, do you feel something when you take a whiff of my scent?" Long Xiurong asked, silently hoping that Rock would say yes.

Rock smiled, "Am I allowed to take a sniff on your nape? I want to make sure that I’m not wrong this time."

Long Xiurong gulped before slowly nodding as she also wanted to know if she could continue falling in love with this man.

Her heart couldn’t afford to suffer another heartbreak.

Thus, Long Xiurong gathered her hair and held it high, revealing her slender nape. Rock swallowed his saliva. He couldn’t help but drool, as the scent her body exuded was truly tempting.

He leaned closer and closer until he stuck his nose on her nape. He took a deep breath and allowed her scent to fill his brain.

Long Xiurong bit her lip as she felt ticklish when Rock sniffed her nape like a dog. She didn’t want to let out any lewd noise, even though it was difficult when he began hugging her from behind, making sure that she wouldn’t escape.

"R-Rock, are you done? You’ve been smelling my nape for a while..."
