Beast King's Crippled Mate-Chapter 279: His Deepest Desire (I)

Gale felt that there was something really strange about the lake, he just couldn’t pinpoint what exactly.

He hesitated to dip into the lake for a second, but when he imagined his wife smiling at him as she was basking in the happiness of her pregnancy, Gale let go of his hesitation immediately.

He took off his pants and blindfold before entering the cold lake water. The water should have been freezing for other beastmen, but for Gale, it felt like regular lukewarm water.

In fact, today’s lake water was even stranger, because Gale felt that it was more than lukewarm—it was hot! Or at least, it made him feel hot right now.

Gale’s chest heaved. He shook his head a few times as he didn’t expect himself to be THIS horny.

He wanted to stroke his erect penis but refrained from doing that because he wanted to go all out with his wife tonight.

"Damn, it’s really hard to endure," Gale murmured. He tried swimming deeper into the lake to distract himself, but he couldn’t focus at all, so he swam up to the surface after only five minutes.

His face was redder than before, and his gaze got even blurrier. He looked around the area well-lit by the moonlight and wondered if someone had put some dark magic on him because this also happened when he was in his worst rut during the blood moon.

First, he started feeling hot all over his body, to the point his face would redden so much.

Second, his gaze would become hazy to the point he could barely make sense of what was in front of him.

Third, the heat would transfer to his groin area, making his penis so erect it hurt. It was hard to think logically at this point.

"Swan... I need my Swan..." Gale muttered as Swan was his only remedy and the only woman he wanted to mate with. He swam to the lakeside and leaned on a stone slab as he stared at his painfully erect penis. "Swan, I-I can’t hold it anymore. I have to find you now."

"Grrhh... argh!" Gale grunted as he could barely control himself. He was lucky there wasn’t a blood moon in the sky tonight, or he’d turn into his true wolf form and lose his mind before he mated with his beloved.

Meanwhile, Jade had been hiding behind a tree not far from the lake. She peeked from time to time and found that Gale was extremely alluring when he was horny.

Of course, she knew this. She had accompanied him during one of his rut, which ended up with her having to be saved by many soldiers, or else the rampaging Gale would kill her.

But it’s different now.

She didn’t need to fear anything because the blood moon wasn’t hanging up in the sky, and she had the pink pendant given by Aria.

She saw that Gale was ready to step out of the lake and head to the castle to mate with Swan, so this would be the perfect opportunity.

"Show me your deepest desire, Gale Stormfront. I know you have someone else you fantasized about in your heart," Jade muttered. She held the pink pendant tightly, and it began to shine with a gentle dark pink glow. Jade grinned as she knew the pink pendant’s ability had been activated. All she needed to do right now was walk in and seduce Gale.

Gale got up from the lakeside, intending to find his beloved and mate immediately. He reckoned that Matoa must’ve finished diagnosing her by now, so he could’ve just leaped into the window and started mating immediately.

His gaze was still blurry until he saw a trace of light from behind a tree.

He squinted, still without his blindfold, and his eyes widened when he saw none other than his ethereally beautiful wife, Swan.

Swan walked out from behind the tree with her two legs, staring at him and muttering, "Husband..."

Gale’s eyes widened, before he quickly closed them so as not to kill his beloved, "S-Swan, what are you doing here? And how can you... walk?"

Jade paused for a moment. She almost puked blood at this point because of two things;

One, she accidentally made eye contact with Gale for a second.

Two, she was so angry after knowing that even in his deepest desire, Gale still wanted Swan in his life.

’How can that be!? Why is this man so dumb!? How could he only love one woman in his very long lifetime!?’

Jade cursed Gale in her heart. She wanted to turn back and leave as she realized this man was hopeless to the core.

But she refrained herself from doing so because she wanted to destroy their relationship.

’It’s okay. It doesn’t matter if he thinks that I am Swan. The real Swan will start questioning him after this, and their love will crack,’ Jade thought as she convinced herself. She approached Gale and gently caressed his cheeks with her soft hands. "Open your eyes, husband..."

"I-I can’t. You’d get killed. Only my fated mate could—"

"Am I not your fated mate?"

"I—" Gale paused for a moment and begged, "Please don’t do this to me, wife. You know I meant well. I don’t want to accidentally hurt you."

Jade almost broke her disguise as she couldn’t handle the burning jealousy in her heart. She didn’t expect the mighty Beast King to sound soft and even used a begging tone in front of Swan.

Jade had known Gale for so long, and he never showed his weakness, even when they were still in the Storm Pack.

’This is bullshit! How come I never get the chance to be with you?! How come this random crippled woman can fill every part of your heart just after one year, while I’ve been accompanying you for decades!?’

Jade screamed in her heart, but she dared not to miss her only chance to ruin Gale and Swan’s relationship, so she said, "I am your fated mate, husband. You can open your eyes now."
