Chapter 217: Chapter 217: Jade''s Love and Rage


    "How do you know that Swan and I are not fated?" Gale sneered. "You are just a bystander, Jade. You don''t know everything about my curse."


    "How do YOU know that Swan and you are fated?" Jade retorted. "I may not know everything about your curse, but I know that your fated mate is meant to purify you out of that curse with just one kiss. Now, let me ask you one simple question, have you ever kissed her at least once? Because if you did, then those kisses meant nothing because you''re still cursed."


    Gale gritted his teeth.


    As much as he admitted that Jade merely pointed out the truth, he still disliked how she kept butting in the situation between him and his wife. freewebnovel


    "It doesn''t matter whether she is my fated mate or not. I will make it happen somehow," Gale said determinedly.


    "I say that you just need to stop with this nonsense and do something to find your fated mate," Jade sneered. "Though, that poor thing must be sad once you''ve found your fated mate because she will be unwanted, crippled, and probably locked in that room for the rest of her life."


    "SHUT UP, JADE!" Gale snapped at Jade. "Don''t you dare call my wife a poor thing? She will always be my wife and the Queen of Beastmen!"


    "Queen of Beastmen? She is not even a beastman herself," Jade scoffed. "That poor little thing is going to cry to her death once you find your fated mate."


    Jade was enjoying her time mocking that crippled bitch, but her smile vanished when she could barely breathe. She turned her head towards Gale who was releasing his oppressive aura and begged, "G-Gale, I-I can''t breathe."


    "Apologize and I will let you live," Gale said coldly.


    Jade''s eyes widened. She didn''t expect Gale to be so cruel to her. They had been together for so long, and now he wanted to torture her like this just because of a simple joke she made?!


    "I-It''s just a jo—uhk-joke!"


    "It''s not a joke for me. Her pride is mine, and vice versa. You mocked me just now," Gale replied. "I tolerate you enough because you are the only one left from the Storm Pack. But I have Swan now, and I realize that we don''t have the same bond. You''re not a friend to me, nor you are a lover, and you''re not useful anymore since my wife does everything you did for the kingdom, but a hundred times better. You are just a woman I allowed to stick around because I was alone before."


    "So I will not tolerate your nder, Jade," Gale said. "Apologize now, and I will let you live."


    Jade was so hurt that her pride almost told her not to apologize. It was better to die than apologize to Gale just for that crippled bitch.


    She had given everything for Gale, her life, her love, and her dedication. But he wouldn''t hesitate to kill her just because of a small joke.


    ''Maybe it would be better to die this way, so I don''t need to suffer more humiliation, from the man I love,'' Jademented. But then, she remembered that her death that Swan would be free to do


    ne


    whatever she wanted. She would be defeated by a mere crippled woman, and she refused to die so shamefully. ''I can''t let that cripple win. If I am not with Gale, then nobody can! I will make sure of that until myst breath!''


    Thus, Jade swallowed her shame and uttered, "I am... so-sorry..."


    Gale sighed and finally suppressed his aura once Jade apologized. Honestly, he didn''t feel good having to punish Jade, as she was the remnant of his old pack, but she crossed the lines too many times that it was difficult for him to tolerate her, especially when it involved Swan.


    He got up and said, "Hurry now, let''s go back to the castle. My wife must''ve been waiting for me."


    Gale leaped high into a tall tree branch after that, leaving Jade who was still trying to take a deep breath. She red at the woods. Not even his back could be seen


    as he traveled so fast, it was practically impossible for her to catch up.


    Thus, she decided to just rest for a while.


    She drank the water from the slow-moving river and then stared at her own reflection.


    "I am still beautiful," Jade told herself. "I have no wrinkles, my skin is still tight, and


    I still sound like a woman in her early twenties. So, what went wrong? Why did Gale reject me so many times?"


    Honestly, even now, Jade still couldn''t find the exact reason why Gale would be


    so adamant about rejecting her. Back then, he seemed to be indifferent to who he would be mated with.


    He was focused on his duty as the new Alpha, and didn''t mind if Jade would be his Luna.


    But then, he suddenly rejected her


    on the day they were supposed to hold the mating ceremony in front of everyone in the Storm Pack, iming that he had a dream that his mate was a human who was


    waiting for him somewheel.ne


    be it in


    the past or future. That''s why he had to reject anyone until he could find her.


    It was so ridiculous because Jade knew that wasn''t real.


    He was just trying toe up with a random reason to reject her, so he could humiliate her in front of everyone.


    Jade was still a woman in love in the end. She began sobbing as she was reminded of that shameful day when she got rejected.


    "We could''ve been a perfect pair,


    Gale. You and I could lead the Storm


    Pack together, but you decided to reject and humiliate me so I had to kill everyone in our pack," Jade''s eyes began to get red as the neverending rage in her heart almost exploded. "So don''t me me if I kill that bitch Swan and everyone in the castleter. It''s all your fault for rejecting me."
