Beast King's Crippled Mate-Chapter 286: Give me back my Swan! (I)

"What just happened..." one beastman general murmured as he witnessed their Beast King, who had transformed into a giant wolf of a castle size, leaping through the forest towards the southwest, creating one shockwave after another.

Everyone in the kingdom knew the direction where he was going, but they had no idea what had happened, especially with the Sun Goddess’ radiant light just now.

"Her Majesty! We need to find Her Majesty first!" Blaze Silverfang yelled as he led the beastmen soldiers to the Beast King’s secret lake, only to find the cat maids who were supposed to be her attendants and also secret guards lying unconscious on the wood path leading to the lake, while the empty wheelchair was left unattended at the end.

Blaze slapped the cat maids repeatedly to wake them up and asked, "What happened here?! Where is His Majesty?!"

Maya slowly regained her consciousness. She fainted instantly when she got hit by a powerful invisible force coming from her Princess.

"Princess Swan... caught His Majesty kissing another woman..." Maya replied weakly. "She got so angry when His Majesty wanted to reach her... so she used a strange power to push us all away... I fainted after that..."

Blaze knew it wasn’t just a ’strange power.’

Those who were able to witness Queen Swan turning the night into day with her radiant light knew that she was definitely the legendary Saintess revered by all species and culture.

The Moon and Sun Goddess had their own representative in this world. If the Moon Goddess had the cursed wolf as her representative, then the Sun Goddess had the Saintess.

"So, she let go of her restraint because His Majesty kissed another woman?!" Blaze didn’t expect His Majesty to do that, knowing how excited he was over her pregnancy.

Maya nodded weakly.

Blaze wanted to ask if they knew where the Queen went after she turned the night into day for five minutes, but seeing how the cat maids barely had the energy to open their eyes, he assumed they were heavily wounded by the same invisible force that wounded the soldiers a while back.

"Carry them to the doctor! They are wounded! I will check the lake on my own!" Blaze Silverfang ordered, and the beastmen soldiers quickly helped the cat maids.

Blaze walked into the lake. He did not know what to expect, but he wished that Queen Swan was still there, so he could make sure that their Queen was safe.

Unfortunately, he saw nothing.

There was nobody in this place. No corpse of the said woman who was caught kissing His Majesty.

And no sign of Queen Swan.

The completely frozen lake looked like a bunch of jagged ice shards put together as if it was stomped by heavy weight. He assumed it was their Beast King who did it.

Blaze had a horrible premonition in his heart.

No, he didn’t think His Majesty would kill Queen Swan because the latter was unharmed even during the Beast King’s worst rut on the coldest night.

But there was news that was just as dreadful.

Swan, their beloved Queen, had voluntarily left this world in anger after being betrayed by her husband, and would never return.

Blaze was staring at the frozen lake in horror, as he had a very bad premonition about this.

"Then, what are we going to do without our Queen? This kingdom will fall without her..."

**

It didn’t take long before the giant wolf reached the Sacred Selene Lake.

The lake was surrounded by a bunch of tall prehistoric trees, even taller than him in his true form, so Gale was still able to stand in front of the lake without towering over everything.

"GRHH! GET OUT AND FACE ME, YOU STUPID GODDESS!" Gale challenged the Moon Goddess boldly. It didn’t take long for her avatar of a white rabbit to descend from the sky and float in the middle of the lake.

The white rabbit was slowly engulfed by hundreds of silver-colored butterflies and turned into a woman whose face was covered with light, which made it impossible for anyone to see her true face.

Selene, the Moon Goddess, was wearing a purple gown, and as she summoned a miniature crescent moon to sit on, she asked, "Have you found her, little wolf? Your fated mate."

"GIVE ME BACK MY SWAN!" Gale said straight to the point. His heart was already aching even though he had only been separated from his Swan for a few hours.

"And what makes you think I can do that?"

"YOU’RE A GODDAMN GODDESS! TAKE ME TO HER OR BRING HER BACK! I WANT MY SWAN!" Gale continued demanding.

"Unfortunately, I cannot do that. She is the one who willingly leaves this world. She was swallowed by the light, which means she prayed for her disappearance," Selene replied. "Besides, I cannot bring her back because she is not in this world, little wolf."

The giant wolf didn’t have a saddened expression, but his glowing red eyes even looked sad when he heard what the Moon Goddess just said, "DID SHE..."

"No, she didn’t die. But she has been transported into my sister’s realm, the Sun Goddess’ Marble Garden. It is her realm, so I have no authority over it," Selene replied. "She will stay inside that place for a while, possibly forever. It all depends on whether she wants to return to earth or not."

"THEN HOW AM I GOING TO MEET HER AGAIN?!"

...

Selene had no answer because it all depended on Swan.

Gale realized that even Selene was powerless in this situation. He had never been so powerless in his life that he started getting desperate, "WHY DID YOU NEVER TELL ME THAT SHE IS MY FATED MATE?!"

"Because she was not yet an angel at that time," Selene replied. "Not only that, as much as I want to tell you, my sister, Asmara, told me to keep it a secret until your wife manifests into her power and turns into an angel."
