A long silence ensued between them.
Jade and Gale stared at each other—no, Jade was staring at her Alpha, but Gale was glaring at her, as if he could kill her right here, right now.
"So, what do you think of my theory? It’s quite plausible, right?"
"The only thing plausible in this scenario is me ripping your head off," Gale retorted ruthlessly. "I don’t want to listen to your bullshit. If there’s nothing else you want to talk about, then leave the throne room immediately. You have no right to be here."
"I know you can be violent at times. But you should consider my theory. I’m just trying to make sense of what happened last night. Who knows, Swan might’ve used her witchcraft to put Rock into a sudden rut as well—"
Jade quickly stopped her sentence because Gale began to release his aura. It was a threat because even she wasn’t immune to it. She might’ve died due to lack of air.
"I’m sorry. I was just speaking nonsense," Jade smiled. "I’ll leave now, Your Majesty."
Lady Jade turned around and left the throne room with a thin smile on her lips. Gale might’ve said that he didn’t believe her at all, but she had lived with him for a very long time to know that Gale was just in denial right now.
’Of course, he would be in denial. If the wife he loves so much turns out to be a witch, then he will also doubt if his love for her was ever real. A powerful witch could easily charm a man to hopelessly fall in love,’ Jade thought. ’And when he realizes his love is not real, that’s the time when I finally win against that little crippled bitch.’

Gale gritted his teeth as he only had one thing in mind.
’Should I kill her? She disrespected my wife like that. Swan’s dignity is mine, so Jade has disrespected me as well,’ Gale pondered. ’But she is the only one remaining from the Storm Pack. As the Alpha, I still have my duty to protect my pack, especially when she is the only one left.’
Gale was conflicted.
As he slowly calmed himself down, his mind wandered to his beloved.
Of course, he didn’t believe Jade at all.
Swan was a very pure-hearted woman. Gale knew it because the real reason why he didn’t want to mark Jade after he got cursed, was because her nape smelled rancid, like rotten flesh that he would never touch.
It was very different with Swan, who always had that alluring natural scent around her body.
The Moon Goddess once told him that some women weren’t fit to be his bride because they were dirty.
