53 Chapter 53: Yearning
The air around them was tense as Gale began to release his aura subconsciously. He didn''t intend to do so at first, but remembering how that bastard-whom he trusted to protect Swan-lusted over her made him angry.
It was even worse when he recalled how Swan kept on defending Rock, saying he didn''t do anything wrong. The fact that Rock had improper thoughts on her alone was enough reason for him to cut his head off!
He got angry and bitter whenever he realized Swan wasn''t in the same mind as him. He wanted to kill that bastard Rock Silverfang as soon as possible so Swan would stop thinking about him.
The cubs and the old wolves began to heave as it was getting harder for them to breathe, but none dared to say anything before their Beast King
It was after a few of the cubs began to wail that ze Silverfang interfered, “Y-Your Majesty, your aura–the cubs-
“Hm, oh-? Gale quickly suppressed his aura, and many of the members of the Silverfang Pack dropped like flies as they were coughing, trying to inhale as much air as possible into their lungs.
Gale looked at the fear in their eyes, and though he knew it wasn''t their fault for being terrified of his presence, his heart still grew colder.
''Swan is the only one who stares at me with tenderness in her eyes. In the end, nobody will like me better than her..."
Gale didn''t know whether he thought this way because he was desperate or because Swan was in love with him.
''I hope it''s thetter. Ah, I already missed her What is she doing right now?"
Gale was in a better mood thinking about his mate, so he turned around and said, “I have to leave now. Remember, if Rock Silverfang ever returns to your pack, make sure to capture him immediately. This is thest warning
“Y-yes, Your Majesty.” The elder replied as he clutched his chest. He thought he was
"L-Long live, The King of all
going to die because he couldn''t breathe at all just!
Beasts."

Gale clenched his fist as he felt ufortable hearing the praises. It was part of the beastman culture to dedicate and praise the strongest, and he would usually take it as a normal thing to say to the Beast King.
But now that he had been with Swan, he began to feel ufortable hearing praise
from those terrified of him.
"Would it be better if they admire me instead? But who''d admire a murderer?"
That question lingered in his mind, but he decided to shove it to the back of his head and left the Silverfang domain.
ze followed him from behind and asked, "What should I do next, Your Majesty?
Should I go to the south to hunt for him?”
“Not you, you''re still the strongest after Rock. You need to defend the castle in case of an invasion when I''m not around,” Gale replied. "I want you to deploy at least five scouts-two owl beastmen and three squirrel beastmen-to search for his whereabouts. in the south. There is no point in sending you or any soldiers because Rock can easily kill all of you."
ze hated to admit it, but his king was right.
Rock was the strongestpared to other beastmen, but he was still weakpared to King Gale. That big disparity was enough for any beastmen to bow down before the Beast King.
"Understood," ze nodded. “Then, what do you want to do now, Your Majesty? Do you n to check other ces first?"
“No need,” Gale replied curtly while staring in the direction where his castle was located; where his mate was probably sleeping right now. "I miss her already."
Swan was fast asleep when she sensed someone leaping into her room from the
window.
She opened her eyes, rubbed them a few times, and sat on the bed while staring at Gale.
He stood underneath the chandelier. The light shone down upon him, highlighting all the battle scars he had on his body.
Gale always told her that it didn''t hurt, but Swan couldn''t help but worry whenever she identally touched any of his scars.

"Uhm... wee back..." Swan murmured as she blinked a few times. She yawned and dozed off again. The quilt was very warm andfortable right now.
Gale chuckled. He sat at the edge of the bed, gently massaging her leg before saying, “Sorry for waking you up.”
"N-no, it''s fine..." Swan said while dozing off. This room is yours, I will feel bad sleeping when you''re not asleep yet."
Gale could feel her sincerity, and his heart felt itchy. If he could, he would fuck her again right here, right now.
But Swan was a human and looked very frail. He was worried doing it too much would
hurt her, so he restrained himself.
Besides, he had to report all the things he had done for her so far.
"I''ve talked to the fishmen, they will have a month to collect all the best quality pearls
and send them to the castle.
“Oh, that''s great!” Swan''s drowsiness disappeared instantly. “I will do my best to find the best pearls we can sell!"
"You seem to be into pearls so much. If you want, I can collect more pearls for you," Gale offered, "Or I will ask the fishmen to make pearl jewelry for you."
“Ah, no need. I''m just happy because the kingdom can finally earn gold without having to go to war!" Swan eximed. “We can also start rebuilding the city and the castle with the gold in the treasury!”
“You are really hung up with the idea of rebuilding this kingdom, I see.”
"Of course! This is for your-I-I mean, our cubs! This is for the future of your kingdom!" Swan said in excitement. She was brimming with joy and Gale was infected as his heart. began to warm up.
He was about to tell Swan about Rock''s situation just now, but it would ruin the warm atmosphere they had, so he decided to keep the information-all to himself.
He leaned closer towards Swan until their noses touched, and said, “Then, why don''t we make sure that you will be pregnant with my cubs?"
“W-wha-ah!”
Thus, the beastmen around the castle were forced to hear another round of moans and grunts from their King and his mate for another night.
