Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Jade’s Second Humiliation

The euphoric cheers slowly died down as Gale walked towards Jade and Long Xiurong. He smiled proudly as he told Jade, "You don’t need to worry about my rut anymore. Just like I said before, everything is solved now that Swan is here."

Jade’s lips twitched. It was difficult for her to show a sincere smile, but she smiled nonetheless, "Is that so? Then I’m glad our kingdom will continue to prosper now that the biggest problem has been tackled." _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}

"You don’t seem to be happy, Milady. Is there something wrong?" Swan asked worriedly, but Jade didn’t believe this witch actually cared for her. She probably wanted to poke fun at her because her plan to kill Swan had failed miserably.

"I am more than happy, Princess. I’m just shocked that you can survive the coldest night with Gale without getting hurt. It’s miraculous—no, it’s almost like witchcraft," Jade replied. "I wish I was there, so I can witness what truly happened. Or maybe you could tell me in private after this over tea time. I’m dying to know the details."

"Why should I tell you about vulgar details, Milady?" Swan replied with a sincere smile, but it looked so sarcastic in Jade’s eyes. "His Majesty and I spent the night as a pair of husband and wife, or in your culture, as a pair of soulmates. Isn’t that the only way to relieve him out of his once-in-a-year rut?"

"T-that’s right..." Jade had to agree despite her seething anger. Indeed, the only way to appease Gale out of his yearly rut was to mate with him. However, he never recognized anyone, not even Jade who was his longtime friend during his cursed beast state. So there was no way the beast would recognize Swan who had only known Gale for less than a year. "D-Does that mean you are officially his mate now?"

Gale wanted to say yes, as he was 100% sure that Swan was his fated mate.

But Swan quickly interrupted and replied, "We would need someone who knows better about his curse to confirm," Swan looked at her husband and asked, "Gale, do you know someone who can determine that?"

...

Gale didn’t understand why Swan interrupted him. He would’ve boldly claimed in front of Jade and his people that they were fated to be together. But since she wanted an absolute confirmation, he thoughtfully replied, "We can go to Sacred Selene Lake in late spring or early summer, when the temperature has warmed up to confirm it. That, or we can just wait for you to get pregnant. I’m sure it won’t take long."

Swan smiled, "You’re right. I guess all we can do right now is to wait, right?"

Gale nodded reluctantly to confirm it.

"I-Is that so?" Jade was relieved. She was scared that Swan was already proven to be Gale’s fated mate. As long as there was no definitive proof, then she still had hope to separate them. "That’s unfortunate, but as long as you two are doing well, then I don’t mind at all."
