Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Dreaming with An Angel (V)
Gale gave a tour around the den and introduced her to every pack member they encountered along the way. Swan was awed by the den''s size.
"You called it a den, but it''s more of a vige for me. A beautiful vige hidden inside a rough mountain," Swanmented. She noticed that the den was difficult to reach by those who weren''t familiar with the terrain. The sharp cliffs also acted as a natural defense. "No wonder your people get so strong. They have to go through difficult terrains just to reach home after a hunt, right?"
"And we also have to face heavy storms that often happen," Gale added. "We are one of the strongest beastmen in the continent, so we have a lot of enemies too since we can defeat anyone in a battle."
"Unfortunately, even the strongest pack wouldn''t be able to detect a traitor, and we got massacred-"
"Ssh, don''t think too much about it, Gale. We''re here to have fun, and in this dream, nobody in your pack will ever die," Swanforted.
Gale nodded, but he still didn''t feel at ease, as he still wanted to know who that damned traitor was.
"If I ever find that traitor who leaked the secret entrance to my pack''s den, then I will kill that bastard immediately," Gale said in a low voice. "This is why I hate traitors the most, Swan. I don''t want to be betrayed by someone I trust."
Swan smiled bitterly.
Unfortunately, she had toughened her resolve to show something to Gale by the time they ended this beautiful dream.
The day went on smoothly until the sun began to set. Gale and Swan sat on thekeside under the Tree of Life. They stared at the beautiful moon in the clear night sky.
The other pack members were on the other side of theke, busy preparing everything necessary for the sacred ritual that would establish Gale and Swan''s status as Alpha and Luna.
"It''s been a while since I saw them looking so excited," Galemented while staring at his pack. "They are all chatting,ughing, and joking around. Something that is a luxury, even in my dream."
"This is the first beautiful dream I ever had in decades, Swan. I rarely sleep, but whenever I sleep, it''s always filled with nightmares... until youe in my dream," Gale slowly turned his head towards Swan and stated fondly, "Swan of the Holy Achate, my mate, you are the only beautiful thing in my nightmarish life. You filled my real life with joy, and you also filled my dream with hope."
Swan and Gale stared at each other in silence.
There was no need for another word or even a kiss.
Because Gale''s eyes told her everything she needed to know; that his love was so deep and genuine, she would be aplete idiot if she kept denying his feelings.
She had been debating with herself whether she should show her power or not in front of Gale.
When she witnessed the extent of his love for her, she realized it wasn''t right that she was the only one who had been keeping a secret.
Thus, she took a deep breath before standing up.
"Swan? Where are you going?" Gale''s eyes followed Swan as she walked
towards theke until her feet touched the edge. "Don''t go in. I feel like this dream will end if you and I ever go inside thatke."
Swan turned around to face Gale and smiled, "Gale, I promised to show you something by the end of this dream, right?"
Gale picked up the hint immediately, and he panicked, "W-wait, please don''t end this dream hastily. Can we just wait until our sacred ceremony as Alpha and Luna begin? I want to do it with you."
"Isn''t that only reserved for your fated mate?"
"Y-yeah, but-"
"Then you get my answer," Swan smiled. "I can''t go on with the ceremony because I am not your fated mate."

"Don''t say that. I told you this is only temporary. I''ll find a way to make us be one."
Swan didn''t want to talk about fated mate anymore. It had be a painful topic for her, and she knew that the more Gale insisted on making them a thing, the more it would hurt them both, and would also weaken her resolve to help Gale.
"I never want to be selfish in front of the man I love," Swan said. "As long as you''re happy, then it''s enough."
"Swan, I-"
"Stay right there, Gale. I want to show you-Swan took a step back onto theke, but rather than falling into the deep water, she was floating right above the surface instead Her golden hair began to glow, followed by her entire body which was covered in gold dust. Swan joined her hands as if she were praying and muttered, "-All that I am."
Gale was speechless. He gazed at his beautiful mate who looked like an angel.
"Are you..."
"A witch? Or an angel?" Swan chuckled. "I don''t know either. I may be a witch who has manifested her power. But have you ever seen a witch using a power like
me?"
Gale shook his head, "Then, are you an angel?"
Swan smiled
Whether I am an
angel or a witch, you should''ve known that I would never harm you my dear husband. I did everything for your sake, because you are my only reason to live, and I want you to ept me, at least until you find your destined partner."
"What are you saying? Of course, I will ept you. You''ve given me so much the moment youe into my life!" Gale eximed, but he felt guilty for suspecting Swan in real life.
He knew this Swan and the real-life Swan werepletely different people, but he just couldn''t help to feel guilty.
Swan took a few steps back until she floated above the reflection of the moon on theke''s surface. Her body glowed even brighter, but this time the glow was mixed with Both gold and silver dust, as it was the sun and the moon blessed her together.
The moment Gale saw this, his eyes widened as he recalled a strange dream he
had the night before his ceremony to be the new Alpha of Storm Pack.
It was long ago, and his memory was hazy, but the moment he saw this gold- silver glow around Swan''s body, he instantly remembered everything!
"Swan... you... you are that woman who came to my dream long ago."
