Beast King's Crippled Mate-Chapter 280: His Deepest Desire (II)

"I-I can’t. I don’t want you to get hurt because of my eyes," Gale refused. "I believe that you are my fated mate, but the Moon Goddess said that my fated mate is an angel! I have to find her first, then we can finally be together for the rest of our lives."

’The Moon Goddess said that?! No wonder this illusion of Swan can walk on her legs, have a radiant aura around her, and have a small halo at the top. Turns out, his deepest fantasy is for Swan to be an angel...’ Jade used to be heartbroken so many times in the past because of this man, but she never realized it would be this bad tonight.

Jade understood that Gale loved Swan. She thought he’d eventually give up on Swan as he knew they weren’t fated to be together. But for him to force this fantasy so he wouldn’t have to mate with another woman...

The burning jealousy in her heart was far too difficult to handle. She was not prepared to get hit with the reality that Gale was so deeply in love with Swan, that he even wanted to defy fate written by the Moon Goddess.

’How come I never had this kind of love in my life? Why am I so unfortunate...’ Jade lamented. ’And now that I know Swan is the Saintess, does that mean Gale will be cured of his curse as long as he kisses Swan in her Saintess form?’

There were so many possible scenarios in Jade’s mind, but for now, she had to focus on the most important thing.

Jade’s finger reached the corner of his eyes. She gently caressed his closed eyelids and said, "I am that angel. I have awakened my power thanks to your love for me. So, you can open your eyes now, and look me in the eyes, Gale..."

"That’s nonsense! I—"

"Trust me, husband."

Gale’s heart wavered. He had long fantasized about Swan being an angel, so he didn’t need to kiss any other woman. He only wanted to kiss his beloved and to mate with her.

He felt absolute disgust with the idea of kissing the said ’angel.’

However, if Swan turned out to be the angel he had been searching for, then...

Gale slowly opened his eyes, and Jade quickly closed hers, but the illusion made it as if she had her eyes open the whole time. frёeωebɳovel.com

Gale stared at his beautiful wife’s golden-colored eyes. She had a gentle glow of gold and silver dust around her body, which was the same glow she had in his dream back then.

She also had a small halo on top of her head, a sign that she was truly an angel. She had a thin smile on her lips as she gazed at her husband and said, "See? Nothing will happen to me even if you look me straight in the eyes. Because I am your fated mate, Gale Stormfront."

Gale slowly reached to Jade’s cheeks. He was so overwhelmed with joy that he didn’t know what to do except caressing his beloved’s cheeks.

"After all this time, my instinct has never been wrong. My fated mate has been with me all along," Gale murmured. "Let me kiss you, Sweetheart. Your kiss will cleanse me out of my curse."

Jade’s body stiffened. Gale had never been so gentle and sweet towards her, and though she knew that he did it because of the illusion, she still felt nervous.

However, she would be lying if she said she wasn’t excited, so she draped her arms around his shoulder, and puckered her lips, waiting for her kiss.

Gale took a deep breath, he gently wrapped his hands around her small waist and also went for the kiss.

Just when their lips were about to meet, Gale heard the loud, familiar voice of his beloved coming from behind him.

"GALE!"

Gale snapped out of his daze, he turned his head instinctively, and there he saw none other than his beloved in a wheelchair, being pushed by the cat maids.

The cat maids quickly closed their eyes as they stared at the Beast King’s ruby-like eyes. But Swan was staring at him with tears in the corner of her eyes.

"S-Swan?!"

Swan was sitting on her bed as always, staring at the window until the sunset, and then simply lay on the bed, waiting for the night to pass and for that beautiful dream with her husband and their future son.

However, just when she was about to close her eyes, the cat maids knocked on the door, and in an excited tone, they said, "Princess! The miracle doctor is here!"

Swan opened her eyes instantly. She sat on the bed, and immediately exclaimed, "Let him in!"

The cat maids opened the door, and Matoa, the old doctor, walked in wearing a rugged cloak. His cane tapped the floor as he walked towards her and greeted, "It has been a while, Princess—No, Queen Swan. I’ve been summoned to check on you. I heard that you are pregnant with the Beast King’s cub."

Swan nodded weakly. She felt anxious, scared that it was all just her imagination, and her pregnancy wasn’t real.

"Then, let me see if that is true. Please excuse me, I’m going to touch your belly, nape, and wrist," Matoa sat at the edge of the bed. First, he touched Swan’s stomach, his brows frowning deeply, making Swan even more anxious than before. "Hm... I see... please let me touch your nape, Your Majesty."

Swan lifted her hair and allowed the old doctor to touch her nape and sniff her scent.

After that, he touched Swan’s wrist to check her pulse.

"I see, I’ve made my conclusion, Your Majesty," Matoa stated.

"T-then, how is it? Am I truly pregnant?"

Matoa had a big smile on his face and nodded, "Yes, you are pregnant with the Beast King’s cub. I can already sense his overpowering scent coming from your nape. I assume it will be a male cub since his scent is similar to the young Gale Stormfront."
