Beast King'S Crippled Mate novel Chapter 79

Chapter 79: Chapter 79: My Purpose in Life

Gale had a lot of questions and suspicions in mind, but intentionally excluded Swan from any of it as he didn’t want to suspect his beloved.

In a few months of knowing her, Swan had become the light in his life—a pure, untouched light that gave him peace of mind—it would crush him if he ever suspected Swan of doing something against him.

"What should we do next, Your Majesty? We have no idea where he is right now," a squirrel beastman asked. "Should we continue going south?"

Gale paused momentarily, then replied, "Go back to the Kingdom and form four scout divisions. Each should go to the north, south, east, and west. Rock must’ve been helped by a mysterious power, so be careful. All of you may leave now."

"Understood, Your Majesty!"

As Gale was left alone, he stepped inside the cave. He kicked the rubbles around him to identify the scent better, and he was not mistaken.

"This is Rock’s scent, and also a unique scent that Swan usually has..." Gale’s lips thinned. He kept trying to deny Swan’s involvement because it simply didn’t make sense.

But then, he remembered how Swan’s sister, Aria, yelled hysterically while calling Swan a witch.

Gale thought it was a ridiculous and baseless accusation. Now, he wasn’t so sure.

’What if she’s actually a witch? If she is a powerful witch, it would make complete sense as to why she was unharmed when Rock attacked her, and also gives me an answer to how Rock could escape the dungeon... and then this...’

Gale gritted his teeth. He didn’t want to continue that train of thought, because he didn’t want to suspect his beloved. He shook his head vehemently before muttering, "No, my Swan will never go against me. She is my mate, and we are supposed to be loyal to each other no matter what."

But what if she is not my fated mate? What if she is actually Rock Silverfang’s fated mate? Would that be the reason why she keeps defending him?

That idea crossed his mind for a second, and a surge of anger grew inside of him, causing him to release all of his overpowering aura. All animals around the forest immediately fell to the ground as they suffocated.

His heart ached and it worsened every second he was imagining his beloved mate kissing another man.

Gale’s eyes began to glow beneath the blindfold. He was about to release his true energy and possibly kill everything in this forest, including every human in Andur Village.

Knowing he couldn’t continue like this, he took a few deep breaths to calm down.

"That can’t be. Swan is mine, and I am hers. We are destined by the Moon Goddess. That’s the only way," Gale convinced himself. "I need to go back to see her. I want to make sure that my feelings aren’t fake."

"Just because I can’t identify my fated mate, doesn’t mean I cannot understand this warmth in my heart."

"Open your eyes, my dear knight."

Rock opened his eyes slowly as his Princess told him so. He looked around and found the area to be heavily wooded. Some of the plants and small animals in this place were foreign to him, as he had never seen them before.
