Beast King's Crippled Mate-Chapter 295: Angel’s Cravings

Swan sat in the pavilion, eating a cooked venison to satisfy her cravings. As an angel, she didn’t need to eat anything. The baby in her belly also wouldn’t feel hungry and would still get all the nutrients he needed to grow healthy and strong.

However, she couldn’t handle the cravings. Ever since she was pregnant with the Beast King’s cub, she had an intense craving for meat, especially game meat and anything that Gale usually hunted to eat.

Goddess Asmara sighed while looking at her daughter. She didn’t mind her daughter eating meat, as there was no such limitation to her.

However, her giving up on her cravings was a sign that her connection with Gale was still very strong despite the separation.

"Swan."

"Yes, Mom?" Swan turned her head at her mother. She still had that innocent look, but the way she ripped the meat with her teeth was truly the sign of savagery only shown by the beastmen.

"Do you know that an angel in this realm shouldn’t feel any cravings for earthly possessions, including food?"

"I-I’m sorry..." Swan murmured, but she still refused to stop eating. "It’s just... My baby makes me crave this, even though I didn’t like eating meat before I got pregnant. The baby will keep kicking until I give him what he wants."

"No, I am not angry at you, my dear," Asmara smiled. "What I’m trying to say is that your craving means you have a very deep bond with your baby, and it also means you still have a deep bond with your husband, Gale Stormfront."

Swan stopped eating the meat. She would be lying if she said she didn’t miss her husband. She wanted to see him many times, but she felt like it was better to wait until she gave birth. She wanted to know if she could finally let go of his mistake, and started anew with her husband.

Goddess Asmara looked at her daughter’s belly and said, "You are almost at your full-term pregnancy, Swan. You’re going to give birth soon. Are you sure you don’t want him by your side?"

...

Swan didn’t answer.

She didn’t know what to answer, as she didn’t know if she was ready to face him again.

"I will think about it later, Mom," Swan murmured. "I still don’t know what to feel right now..."

**

The bright spring and sunny summer had passed. Everyone was getting busy gathering food for winter because they had a feeling the winter this year would be just as harsh as last year.

Except for one person.

He hadn’t moved from his position for the past six months.

Gale was still leaning on the statue of the Moon Goddess. He had been closing his eyes the whole time. He didn’t eat, nor did he need to eat as he was basically an immortal at this point.

The lack of food made him feel weak, as he usually needed to eat at least a full adult moose a day to stay fit. That portion would double whenever he was in a war, as he had to transform into his werewolf or true wolf form sometimes.

Unfortunately, Gale didn’t care about all that. He was so heartbroken when his wife left him, that he didn’t even care if he had to die right now.

The only thing that made him unable to kill himself was fear.

Yes, for the first time in his life, he had many fears, all of which revolved around his wife, Swan.

He was scared of losing his wife.

He was scared of making her sad.

He was scared that they would never reunite.

That last one was also the reason he hadn’t killed himself yet. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

He didn’t care if he ended up in heaven or hell as long as Swan was there with him. But what if Swan was in neither place, and they would never meet again?

That fear was enough to keep Gale from ever harming himself.

He intended to continue his hibernation through years, decades, or even centuries. He would wait forever as long as Swan would finally give him a second chance and they could start anew.

The moonlight was exceptionally clear today, and Gale could feel his power slowly regenerating. He intended to fall asleep soon until he heard the voice of Selene, the Moon Goddess.

"Open your eyes, little wolf."

Gale opened his eyes slowly. He stared at the Moon Goddess, who sat on a crescent-shaped mini-moon.

It had been a while ever since Gale talked with the Moon Goddess. Selene didn’t show herself because she knew it would only make him hope for a chance to be with Swan, and Selene had no hope to give.

But that wasn’t the case today, because she had an urgent message to say;

"Little wolf, you need to come with me now to the Goddess realm."

Gale’s eyes were wide open. He sprung up as if he had gained all of his strength back in a split second.

"Does Swan want to meet me?"

"She—" Selene hesitated. Truthfully, Swan hadn’t said that she wanted Gale to be by her side. It was mostly because she was in so much pain right now, and she kept calling Gale’s name in between her screams. Hence, even if she hadn’t asked for Gale to come, both Asmara and Selene thought it was the right time to bring him. "She is in labor right now, and she is in pain. She needs you there."

Gale’s heart skipped a beat. He had been staying in this place for so long that he had forgotten the concept of time. He didn’t want to miss his son’s birth, and also to support his wife!

"Then what are you waiting for? Take me there! I have to be by my wife’s side!"

Selene nodded. She snapped her fingers, and shiny butterflies surrounded Gale before swallowing his body in light.

And...

Poof!

Gale was transported to the Goddess realm to see his wife.
