Chapter 111: Chapter 111: It''s all your fault!


    Long Xiurong couldn''t sleep after dinner, because she kept hearing Princess Swan''s moans and the Beast King''s grunts echoing inside the castle for at least an hour before it died down.


    At first, she thought that the Beast King was like her Emperor Father, who wouldn''t mind having more than one wife-in fact, Lady Jade told her that the Beast King would have a lot of women in his harem, and Long Xiurong would be one of them, which she didn''t mind at all as it was part of her culture.


    However, she came to an understanding when she had a conversation about that pearl ne with His Majesty before.


    If he could share his love, then he wouldn''t embarrass Long Xiurong like that. He would''ve given her the pearl ne and made another one for Princess Swanter. It was themon way her Emperor Father did to appease his harem members.


    But no, he bluntly said that it was for his wife, Princess Swan of the Holy Achate. It was clear that there was no point in fighting for favor.


    Long Xiurong had a bitter, but understanding smile. She drank her night tea while staring at the firece, "What is the point of trying to woo him when he obviously cannot share his love? He only has one love, and it''s all already spent on Princess Swan."


    She didn''t expect herself to be defeated by another woman even though she had just arrived, "Well, I''ve been prepared for this. I don''t know if I will ever find love, but as long as I''m allowed to live here, then I am more than grateful. After all, it''s a one-way ticket, I have nowhere else to go."


    Long Xiurong stared at the firece intently, and the burning image of the handsome and mighty Beast King appeared. She sighed in awe, "Will I ever find my love? If I get my own man, I wish he would be as strong as you, kind, and have so much love only for me. Just like how much love you have for Princess Swan."

    Jade sipped her tea as she listened to Swan and Gale''s loud voices as they were mating in their room. For some reason, they had to let everyone in the castle know how much they enjoyed their time together.


    The more Jade listened to it, the angrier she got.


    She clenched her teacup while gazing at the firece in front of her. The burning image of Gale appeared in front of her, and she bit her lower lip until it bled as she was trying to handle the heartache.


    "I''ve apanied you since we were young, Gale. I was supposed to be your Luna, but you suddenly said that your Luna is a human," Jade muttered.


    She was reminded of that bitter moment again. She was meant to be marked by Gale, but then he suddenly refused to bite her after theiring-of-age ceremony.


    Gale suddenly imed that his Luna would be a human.


    Thus, in a fit of rage after she got humiliated, Jade tipped their enemies about their pack''s hidden den, so they could massacre the entire pack while Gale was out.


    She remembered how she hid while her entire Storm Pack was massacred by enemies—not even the cubs and elders were spared, as she thought it was a befitting punishment.


    ''They''ve seen how humiliated I was. So it''s better to let them all die, so Gale will have nowhere to go except to me.''


    That was Jade''s intention at first, as she knew that she and Gale were the only survivors in Storm Pack.


    The image in the burning fire changed to that moment when Gale returned to the pack, only to find everyone except Jade had been massacred.


    He was enraged and killed everyone on sight.


    It was an amazing sight for Jade because it was the first time she saw how powerful Gale got when he was truly enraged. He hadn''t been curse yet then, but he was strong enough to kill at least 100 powerful wolves, including the Alphas from other packs.


    Of course, after he lost all of his strength, Jade had to bring him to Matoa, the miraculous doctor, who then treated him, and sent him to the Sacred Selene Lake for direct treatment from the Goddess.


    "And that''s when you get cursed by the Moon Goddess..." Jade muttered. "I thought I finally had a chance to be with you, but you chose to mark that cripple first instead of me. How ridiculous."


    Jade heard the loud moan from Swan before everything died down. She couldn''t handle the jealousy in her heart anymore, so she threw her empty teacup into the firece.


    "I''ve apanied you for so long. I


    helped you to build this kingdom, and I am fiercely loyal to you. Why can''t it be ME? Why won''t you choose ME?!" Jade was getting emotional, which was very rare for her. But she couldn''t hold it anymore, as she had been enduring this seething jealousy for far too long. "What''s wrong with him? Why doesn''t he realize that I have been here all along, waiting to get marked by him?"


    Never in a million years had Jade ever regretted massacring her own pack, as her


    dignity as a woman was far more important than those kids.


    However, she couldn''t help but recall that time when Gale was still a young wolf


    who would be the powerful Alpha of Storm Pack, and she would be the Luna of Storm Pack.


    "If only you didn''t reject me back


    then, I wouldn''t have told our enemies about our den. It''s all your fault, Gale," Jade mumbled while wiping the tears at the corner of her eyes. "It''s all because you rejected me. The rest of our pack had to die because of you. It has always been your fault."


    Yet, no matter how many times she med Gale for what happened with the


    Storm Pack, she still couldn''t shake off the bitterness in her heart.


    "Why should I allow that cripple to have you? If I can''t own you, then nobody can."
