Beast King's Crippled Mate-Chapter 283: My Swan. My Swan!

[Song Recommendation: Indila - Tourner Dans Le Vide.]

However, the moment he was only a foot away from the real Swan, Swan yelled as loud as she could, "GET AWAY FROM ME!"

"S-Swan, I don’t know what is happening right—ARGH!"

Gale didn’t know what just happened, but there seemed to be an overwhelming invisible force coming from his wife that pushed him out of the rage.

This also happened to the cat maids who were thrown far away until they lost their consciousness.

Gale shook his head a few times, trying to make sense of what was happening. He squinted at his wife in the wheelchair and noticed that her tears turned into crystals as they dropped from the corner of her eyes.

Her body emanated an overwhelming, radiant energy, marked by the blinding light coming from her inner body.

Gale was confused at first, but after witnessing this, he just realized that Swan was truly the angel that he had been searching for the whole time.

And with that, he also realized that he made one fatal mistake...

He had let himself be tricked by someone who impersonated Swan.

"Sweet... heart..." Gale murmured.

"DO NOT CALL ME THAT!" Swan yelled again, and her voice sounded like thunder on a clear sky that alerted the entire castle.

They turned their heads towards the lake and saw a bright light coming from there.

"Something is happening in the lake! His Majesty might be in danger!" The generals said in unison as they rushed to the lake to save the Beast King.

However, when they were about to enter through the pathway, an invisible barrier repelled them back and wounded them until some of the weaker beastman soldiers were vomiting blood.

"G-General! There is a strange magic barrier around the lake! We cannot enter!"

"Try to attack it!"

The beastmen tried with all their might, but none of their attacks seemed to work. The more they attacked the barrier, the more wounded they got until there was no other beastman who dared to attack the barrier anymore.

Thus, all the beastmen in the castle were forced to just watch as the light coming from the lake got brighter.

Matoa watched this from the window. He was old enough to realize that this light must have come from one particular power that only had one bearer in each lifetime.

"The Sun Goddess’ holy power..." he murmured.

Meanwhile, in the lake, Swan was still glaring at her husband fiercely, but the tears that kept falling and turned into crystals did not lie. She was extremely hurt.

"You have no right to call me Sweetheart!" Swan yelled, but this time, her voice was shaky as she was on the verge of breaking down. "Not after you cheated on me!"

"I didn’t cheat on you! I thought she was also—" Gale looked over his shoulder, and his heart skipped a beat when the illusion had been broken by Swan’s radiant light, and Gale could see clearly that the woman he thought was Swan, was Meredith. "W-what is happening right now?!"

Gale was both stunned and confused, but he quickly returned his gaze to his beloved, whose light got more radiant, as the temperature around the lake gradually turned warm.

Gale got up immediately. He tried to endure the nonstop attack from the invisible force to reach his wife. Reaching out his hand, he said, "Sweetheart, believe me! I didn’t know it wasn’t you!"

Unfortunately, Swan didn’t want to listen.

She was overstimulated by both heartbreak and grievance.

She didn’t know what would happen to their baby after this. After all, Gale could cheat on her when she was pregnant, what would stop him from doing it again the next time?

Gale vomited blood once as he kept getting punched over and over by the invisible force, but still tried to reach his wife.

However, when he was only one hand-reach away from his wife, Swan wished that Gale wouldn’t touch her.

"DON’T TOUCH ME WITH YOUR FILTHY HANDS!"

"ARRGHH!"

Gale felt like he was being slammed by tonnes of weight on his back to the point that he couldn’t even lift his body. He tried to transform into his two-legged wolf form, but couldn’t.

It seemed that he couldn’t do much except for relying on his raw strength at this point.

He was slammed to the ground, and could only lift his head as he stared at his beloved who was looking down at him.

There were a lot of emotions mixed in Swan’s eyes. It was heartbreak, grief, anger, and hurt. She looked so hurt that Gale felt guilty immediately.

"Swan... I am... sorry..." Gale murmured while enduring the weight on his shoulders. He didn’t think he cheated on her, but anything that made his wife sad would make him feel guilty, so he apologized nonetheless. "Please... forgive... me... urk!"

Swan stared at Gale’s ruby-like eyes. She knew from Matoa that was the sign she and Gale were fated.

But what was the point of being fated, when he could kiss another woman, and mate with them?

What was the point of everything?

What was the point of her existence?

Swan ignored her husband, and her body slowly levitated from her wheelchair. She kept crying while looking at her husband. Her tears couldn’t stop falling.

She saw that her husband was hurting, so she lifted the weight on his back, and healed him from all the hypnosis, aphrodisiac, and internal injuries.

Gale quickly got up and tried to reach Swan again, but whenever he did, he’d be repelled immediately.

Swan began to transform into her Saintess form out of heartbreak, and the halo over her head was very obvious at this point.

"Wife, please, I—"

"Silence, husband," Swan said, and Gale lost her voice immediately. "Your words will only weaken my resolve."

’Resolve?!’ Gale tried to reach his wife again to no avail, but he followed her as she floated towards the lake.

Swan saw that her husband was following her desperately. She didn’t want him to fall into the lake, so she froze the lake immediately.

Meanwhile, Gale didn’t even care about that.

He kept walking towards his beloved and chanted deep in his heart, ’My Swan. My Swan. My Swan!’
