Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186: Chapter 186: She is not your fated mate

Aria glanced at Swan for a second, before returning her gaze to the Beast King.

"I’ve heard the rumor that you are meant to find your fated mate and produce an heir. I also heard the rumor that wolf beastmen, in general, cannot produce offspring if they don’t mate with their fated one," Aria mentioned two of the most common topics about wolf beastmen. The wolf beastmen were similar to the swan beastmen. Both could only bond with one mate in their lifetime, so the Moon Goddess forbade them to produce an heir except with their fated mates.

"And what about it?" Gale asked. He sensed a dreadful question that was about to come out of Aria’s mouth, but he knew it was too late to stop Aria from saying it.

He pursed his lips as he let her roll with that question.

"May I know if Queen Swan has been pregnant with your offspring yet, Your Majesty?" Aria asked. "If she is not, then does that mean she is not your fated mate?"

Aria asked the question loud and clear, and she was met with absolute silence, as both Gale and Swan didn’t give her an immediate answer.

Swan’s body tensed, but Gale wasn’t angry or offended by it.

Everyone in the castle had long suspected that Princess Swan might not be the Beast King’s fated mate.

But nobody dared to question him except for Jade, and Gale treated those rumors as mere noise.

He checked on Swan whose face paled instantly, and finally replied, "You must’ve known about the rumor that I have been cursed, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"I have been cursed by the Moon Goddess herself, and she granted me immortality on top of having strength that nobody could match for the next millennia or so. But it makes me unable to find my fated mate," Gale explained.

Aria quickly suppressed the smile on her face once she thought that she had woken Gale out of Swan’s dark charm and hypnosis.

"If that’s the case, then why are you treasuring her like she is your fated one? What would happen once you find your fated mate?" Aria asked. "Pardon me for being upfront, Your Majesty, but isn’t it unfair for your fated mate? She must’ve been waiting for you out there, and yet here you are, indulging yourself with a woman who cannot bear you a child!"

Aria was told by Madam Harsetti, the Great Witch, that Gale was immune to dark charm, but he could still be fooled by logic.

Swan might’ve been lying about one thing or another to persuade Gale, but he had to wake up eventually because that cripple wasn’t his fated mate.

Swan was speechless.

She had never been confronted right in her face about this problem by other people. Aria’s words physically and mentally hurt her knowing that she had to be separated from her husband eventually.
