Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 101

Chapter 101: Chapter 101: Eye Contact

Gale woke up earlier than Swan, right when the sun was rising. He didn’t need sleep, and there was no difference in his body whether he slept for hours or not.

But sleeping made him feel better mentally. It made his head clearer, but it only worked when he fell asleep with Swan by his side.

He tried sleeping outside once when they argued before, but he couldn’t even close his eyes for more than five seconds. On top of that, he felt tired and grumpy when the sun began to rise.

That’s why he knew Swan was the reason he could fall asleep. She was the remedy that he needed.

He didn’t understand why Swan kept pushing him to be with that new woman.

Gale patted Swan’s head as she was in a deep sleep and murmured, "Did I not make myself clear enough? I don’t plan to be with someone else. It’s just you and me against this cruel world, Swan."

Gale smiled white staring lovingly at Swan. Swan felt someone patting her head and frowned before burying her face deeper into his chest. Gale couldn’t help but smile at her movement.

It warmed his heart knowing that Swan had complete trust in him.

"We have our differences. We fight often, but at least we still love each other, isn’t it, sweetheart?"

...

Of course, he got no answer, since she was fast asleep.

Nevertheless, it still made him happy.

As he kept patting her head, he had the urge to take off his blindfold. His curse made him unable to make eye contact with anyone, because eyes were meant to be the windows of the soul, so he should be able to identify his fated mate just with one direct eye contact.

From being unable to identify the scent of his fated mate and making eye contact, to the cursed rut he had to suffer on the coldest night of the year, that scummy Moon Goddess did everything just so he could not find his destined one.

’But even if all the odds are stacked against me, and even if you are not my fated mate, I will find a way to make sure that we can be together, Swan,’ Gale thought.

The curse made him unable to look anyone directly in the eye, as his cursed gaze could crush someone’s soul. However, as long as no eye contact was made, Swan should be safe.

Thus, Gale slowly took off his blindfold and stared at his sleeping wife with his ruby-like eyes.

He had been longing to make eye contact with Swan before he fell asleep and after he woke up. But it was impossible because he didn’t know if Swan was his fated mate or not.

What if he made direct eye contact with her, and she died instantly? He would probably kill himself due to overwhelming guilt and heartbreak.

Thus, he kept gazing at Swan while caressing her cheek, combing her hair, and kissing her head as he was in a great mood.

They looked at each other before Myra asked, "Princess, Lady Jade, and Lady Long Xiurong want to invite you for brunch in Lady Jade’s room. Do you want to accept the invitation?" _{freewebnσvel.cøm}
