Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 120

Chapter 120: Chapter 120: His Past

"Oh! Then, do they still live in that area? Or did you bring them to live in the castle already? You should introduce me to them, since they are your family, right?" Swan asked with great interest. "D-don’t worry, I will try to be proper in front of my in-laws!".

Gale smiled seeing how excited Swan got as she wanted to see his family.

"I’d be happy to introduce you to my family. You’d be the Luna of my pack, and we will lead the Storm Pack together," Gale said fondly as he reminisced about the past. About his late mother, his siblings, and his friends. "My mother can be very nosy about stuff, so I hope you can endure her chattering."

Swan blushed as she imagined a happy family with Gale. She had been thinking hard about bringing the topic of in-laws in front of Gale because she knew nothing about his past.

"I-I would try my best to impress my mother-in-law."

Gale smiled bitterly, "Unfortunately, you can’t meet her anymore—or anyone in my Storm Pack."

"W-why? If it’s because they are still in your original region, then I’d be more than willing to travel there during spring or summer."

"They are dead. All of them," Gale stated. "My entire pack... has been massacred."

Swan’s heart sank when she heard that. Of all the things she had in mind, she didn’t expect the entire Storm Pack to get massacred.

Gale looked up as he was recalling that fateful night;

"I was out of the den when that happened. When I returned, I saw everyone was already dead. Man, woman, elderly, children, nobody was spared. Jade was the only one left at that time. Right before she almost got killed by those bastards, I saved her, and killed every single one of those bastards," Gale said. "Everything went dark after that, and when I woke up, I was being treated by Matoa, that old doctor."

"Y-you said that your pack was full of amazing fighters. How come they all got defeated?"

"The attackers were a bunch of Alphas and Betas from various enemy packs around us. They colluded, and someone must’ve betrayed us because it would be difficult for them to know the exact location of our den," Gale said. "I don’t know who that traitor is. I don’t even know if that person is still alive or not right now. If that traitor is still alive, then I will make sure to break their bones one by one before sending them to hell. I hate traitors the most."

Swan lowered her head instantly. She didn’t know if she could be considered a traitor, but she was actually scared right now.

On top of that, she felt guilty for bringing an old trauma.

"I-I’m sorry, Gale."

"For what?"

"For making you talk about this. I didn’t know that..."

Gale chuckled, "Don’t be so tense around me, Swan. I’m not upset with you, I was upset with myself because I failed to protect them."

Gale noticed that Swan still looked sad, so he shifted the topic to the food that Swan had prepared. He grabbed the fork, a habit that he grew over time because his wife kept pestering him to use the utensil to eat.
