Beast King's Crippled Mate-Chapter 287: Give me back my Swan! (II)

"I DON’T CARE ABOUT THAT SUN GODDESS! I JUST WANT MY SWAN!"

"Swan is her daughter," Selene replied. She sighed as she understood the pain her little wolf experienced, but she truly had no way to help him, because it was the angel’s wish to be separated from her husband. "I’m sorry, little wolf. I didn’t expect the revelation would be this painful. I thought you’d find out sooner or later about her, get a kiss from her, and you two can live happily ever after."

"But try looking at the bright side, your wife is not dead. She just needs time to calm down before coming home... hopefully. On top of that, you have been cleansed out of your curse. You won’t feel any pain in your heart anymore, nor will you lose your mind when you’re in your true wolf form," Selene said.

"I DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE CURSE! JUST GET ME, MY WIFE!"

"... I am sorry, little wolf."

The Moon Goddess’ hopeless tone had shattered the only hope he had. His chest felt stuffy, so tight that he could barely breathe until his chest heaved.

Even though the Goddess said his heart wouldn’t ache anymore, he felt the pain get even worse now that his wife left him.

"THEN HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO WAIT?"

"I don’t know..."

"GRRHH!" Gale unsheathed his giant sharp claws. He knew he couldn’t harm the Goddess, so he aimed his claws at her most prized statue. "GIVE ME MY WIFE, OR I WILL DESTROY THIS STATUE!"

...

"I AM SERIOUS! I WILL DESTROY THIS STATUE. I WILL RAVAGE THIS SACRED LAKE UNTIL THERE IS NOTHING LEFT!"

...

The Moon Goddess remained silent for five minutes before she replied, "You can destroy everything in sight if it will make you feel better."

"GRRHH! GRAAAAHHHH!!!"

The giant wolf roared and destroyed the Moon Goddess’ most prized statue in just one slash. He then continued rampaging by attacking everything in sight, including the half-destroyed statue of Asmara, the Sun Goddess, and all the trees surrounding the lake.

His roar full of grievance was heard across the continent, and his rampage shook the land, creating earthquakes that destroyed the surrounding area.

He ravaged the previously serene and well-guarded Sacred Selene Lake and turned it into nothing but a puddle of dirty water with a lot of destroyed trees around.

The Moon Goddess had reverted back to her white rabbit avatar form, watching the rampaging little wolf from above. It went without saying, she loved her sacred lake.

This place was her favorite spot in the earth realm, and to stop Gale, she would usually attack him with a moonlight beam that would kill anyone instantly, though, for Gale, it was more like getting a ton of weight dropped on his shoulder.

But not now.

She allowed Gale to continue rampaging as she knew the heartache he felt right now was too much to bear, even for a wolf that had been cursed for decades.

’I should talk about this to my sister. Maybe she will allow me to talk to that little angel of hers.’

Thus, Selene decided to just let Gale vent for days to come while she went to the Goddess realm and talked to her sister.

"GRAAARRHHH!!!"

Gale continued rampaging for a week straight to stop this overwhelmingly painful heartache. He was like a mad wolf that nobody dared to approach, let alone attack. He destroyed everything on its path until he returned to the Sacred Selene Lake which the Moon Goddess had restored to its original state in just a night.

After rampaging for a week, Gale had finally exhausted all of his energy. If the full moon continued shining bright in the sky, he could go for two weeks, and if a blood moon was hanging in the sky, he would probably rampage for a month, bringing even more desolation to the land. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

But the Moon Goddess seemed to understand the situation, and made the sky cloudy every night, so Gale couldn’t draw power from the moonlight as usual.

Gale finally reverted to his human form, dragging his body to the statue of the Moon Goddess, and leaning on it as he was truly exhausted at this point.

Yet, his heartache still lingered. Worse, it got even stronger as he couldn’t rampage around to forget about his wife for a while. When he closed his eyes, the only vivid imagery he had was his beautiful wife, smiling at him while caressing her belly.

Swan was a very sweet-looking woman, so her smile would make any man feel as though they had just drunk a glass of honey. Gale was the main victim, as he was already addicted to how Swan smiled at him.

Sweet, meek, with a hint of flirting.

She was truly perfect.

"And I lost her..." Gale murmured.

He felt like he should cry right now, but he was too tired. So all he did was rest, waiting to fall asleep despite the heartache, and wished that Swan would return to him by the time he opened his eyes once again.

...

Blaze Silverfang had been watching His Majesty from afar. He was the only one who dared to approach and follow the rampaging giant wolf around for the whole week.

Aside from making sure that the Beast King wouldn’t kill too many humans and beastmen on his rampaging path, he also wanted to persuade the Beast King to return to the castle.

He thought that Gale would feel better if he busied himself in the castle rather than lamenting about Queen Swan.

But looking at his condition, he decided to let him rest for a while and maybe return in two years.

’I guess I’ll have to find a way to manage the kingdom while he is unfit to lead. I cannot let the kingdom fall because of this,’ Blaze Silverfang thought as he stared at his respected Beast King and thought, ’If falling in love can be this painful. I would rather never find my fated mate.’
