Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Goddess, I don''t want to love him


    [Music Rmendation: Akane - Color Me Blue.]


    "You..." Gale was rendered speechless by Swan''s words just now. He kept staring at her in silence, hoping that she would retract her words and say that she didn''t want him to mark another woman, but Swan said nothing else. The frustrated Beast King asked, "Why did you say that? Don''t you love me too?"


    "Who said that I don''t love you? It''s exactly because I love you, so I don''t want you to suffer because of my selfishness," Swan answered. She was on the brink of tears, but she stayed strong so as not to shed a tear in front of Gale. She knew Gale had to find his true mate eventually, and Swan was not that woman. It was a self-sacrifice that befitted her. "I told you that I''m always ready to be sacrificed if my body can be of use. So does my love. If my love will only burden you, then I think I can sacrifice that as well."


    Gale had never felt so much heartache in his life, "Swan, I love you. Is that not enough for both of us?"


    Swan looked away and stated, "It''s not about us. It''s about you. As the Beast King, you need to find your fated mate and produce offspring for your kingdom."


    "I-I think we''re done here, Gale. I''m tired. Can youe againter?" Swan asked in a low voice, almost whispering.


    Gale lowered his head. He stood up in silence before leaving the room.


    He closed the door behind him and leaned his back on it.


    With his acute hearing sense, he could hear his beloved sobbing inside the room, as she must''ve been holding so much sadness in her heart right now.


    Gale was no different. He couldn''t cry, but his heart ached so much, and the fact that he was powerless against this cruel fate forced upon them made it even


    worse.


    ''Why do I have to be the one bearing this curse? Why can''t I love her without needing to find another woman to mark? I just want her...'' Gale said in his heart. He clenched his fist as he got frustrated again, ''That bastard Goddess Selene needs to pay for hurting my Swan.''


    Gale left the castle through the window and headed far into the deep forest. He only had one destination in mind: Sacred Selene Lake.


    He had to talk with that trash Mood Goddess. freewebnovel.coll

    Swan tried to muffle her cry, as she didn''t want Gale to know she was crying. But she still sobbed as it hurt her knowing she wasn''t fated with her husband.


    She had long known about it, but was still in denial, hoping that Goddess Asmara would grant her wish and let her bear his offspring as proof that they were truly fated.


    But Matoa, the old doctor, was right. She was most likely not Gale''s true mate.


    "Oh, Goddess, my heart keeps hurting," Swan muttered between her sobs. "Why do you let me love when I can''t be with him? Why do I have to bear this pain of love if it will hurt me even more?"


    Swan wiped her tears and shook her head, "No, Lshouldn''t have med the Goddess. It''s my fault for falling in love in the first ce. I was sent here to die, not to live a happy life with Gale. It''s not my right to demand his exclusive love.


    "He will eventually fall in love with the next woman, over and over until he finds his


    true mate. A lonely death is the only thing that awaits me," Swan told herself.


    She prayed again with both of her hands joined while staring at her dress that had been dampened with tears. "Goddess, please let Gale''s second womane as soon as possible and let him ignore me, because it''s getting too hard for me to let him go, and I''m getting too selfish for my own good."

    Gale dashed through the dark forest. He killed every single dangerous animal that


    tried to attack him on his way, as he had no time to waste on them.


    He wanted to reach the Sacred Selene Lake as soon as possible.


    The dark forest was too dangerous for other beastmen to enter, as it was filled with tall trees that made the dark forest almost untouched by the sun or moonlight.


    The animals here were even more dangerous, but they were all no match for Gale, as he only needed to take off his blindfold, and his ruby eyes stunned or killed anything on his path.


    It was almost midnight as he reached the middle of the forest, where Gale could see the reflection of the moon on theke''s surface.


    There was a statue of a woman


    holding the crescent moon near theke, which was Moon Goddess Selene''s statue. There was another one directly facing hers, but it had been destroyed ages ago, so nobody knew about the identity of the other God or Goddess.


    Gale guessed the other statue was the Sun God, Srie, but Selene told him he


    was wrong once and refused to tell him more about it.


    That wasn''t his concern right now. He walked directly to Goddess Selene''s statue


    and arrogantly said, "Come out, I want to talk to you about my mate."


    ...


    There was no response, and the already-frustrated Gale grabbed the statue''s hand, "Come out now, or I will break this statue."


    Suddenly, there was a concentrated beaming directly from the moon that hit Gale''s body, which should have killed anyone on the spot.


    Gale simply gritted his teeth before nting his feet deeper into the soil beneath, "Your little moonbeam won''t stop me, you bastard Goddess. Come and see me now before I desecrate this ce!"


    There was no answer, but before Gale could break the statue, a white rabbit slowly descended from the sky and hopped around the air, casually circling the Beast King''s body andnding on top of the statue.


    The white rabbit looked down on Gale and said, "You are surely the most stubborn, little wolf."
