Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 328

Chapter 328: Epilogue: The Legend of Swan and Wolf (II)

The smile on Gale’s lips vanished instantly when he realized who the ’guest’ would be. He appeared sour as if he didn’t like this guest.

"Why did that kid come again? It’s not been that long since his last visit."

"Don’t call him ’that kid’, he is your son!" Swan chided as she prepared a small dessert for them. "And it’s been like... uhm.... A year since his last visit. It’s only right for him to visit us at least once a year!"

Gale scoffed, "You coddled him too much. He shouldn’t have visited us at all. No, he should’ve forgotten about us and led the Kingdom of Beastmen to absolute glory. We’re just his parents."

"Exactly because we are his parents. Humans would be happy to have a son like Sol because he is filial and cares about us so much," Swan said. "Many children end up abandoning their parents, or severing the relationship immediately after leaving the house."

"That’s exactly what he should’ve done," Gale insisted. "I don’t like how he’s so soft and forgiving like you when he’s meant to be the Alpha of a giant kingdom. He needs to be ruthless and calculating at times. He often let his emotions cloud his judgment and spared even his enemies."

"Don’t you love me because of those qualities? Do you not love me anymore?" Swan asked. She was a bit sad, and Gale noticed it immediately.

Flustered, he stuttered his answer while trying to hug his wife from behind, "T-t-that’s not what I mean, Sweetheart. I-I just thought that he was not supposed to be soft. He is an Alpha. He needs to lead a lot of beastmen who look up to him. Of course, I love you deeply for your gentleness. P-please forgive me, wife. I didn’t mean to upset you."

Swan struggled for a moment as she was annoyed by her husband’s constant disapproval towards their son, but sighed once she learned that Gale wouldn’t let her go unless she forgave him.

"Fine. But you need to promise me not to be hostile when he comes. I don’t need you to hug him or anything, just... tolerate your son, alright?"

"Grh—alright. I will try."

Gale let her go and sat at the dining table, murmuring his complaints about their son.

Swan felt that she raised Sol just right, but apparently, the way she raised him as a human was vastly different from the way he should’ve been raised as an Alpha Wolf, based on Gale’s family tradition.

In the Storm Pack tradition, a future Alpha needed to defeat his father and kill him to take the throne as the Alpha of the pack, it was to prove his strength and also to sever ties between the Alpha wolf and the previous one.

Initially, Sol was reluctant to challenge his father. He loved his father so much despite their disagreement sometimes. It was Gale who insisted on the duel to decide the next Alpha once Sol was of age.

Obviously, Sol won effortlessly against his father.

Gale was no match against his son even at his prime because Sol had been blessed by three Goddesses since birth, Goddess of the Sun, the Moon, and of course, Goddess of Miracles.

Whilst, Gale was only blessed by Selene.
