Beast King's Crippled Mate-Chapter 297: A New Stormfront (I)

"No! Swan! My son! Let me stay with them!" Gale struggled to reach his wife, but the Goddesses used their power to push him out until he could only see his wife and son getting farther and farther from his sight.

He felt like he was falling from a great height. As he fell, he could only stare at the moonlight and shed a single tear before closing his eyes. freёweɓnovel.com

Once he opened them again, he found himself back in the Sacred Selene Lake, leaning on the statue like he previously did. He was angry at the Goddess who suddenly separated her from his wife and son after such a tearful reunion. He got up and yelled at the moon, "Come down, you stupid Goddess! Bring me back to my wife!"

The white rabbit avatar went down instead of Selene and said, "Calm down little wolf."

"How can I calm down when you kicked me out like that? How about my wife and son!? I want to be with them!"

"Swan needs to be there for safety, and as for you... we need you to be on earth to protect his lake."

Gale scoffed, "And why should I care about this damned lake? I’ve destroyed it many times before."

"Because this is the place where your wife will return to you. You need to protect it, or else your wife can never descend back to earth," the white rabbit replied.

The mocking grin on Gale’s lips vanished instantly. His eyes darkened as he said seriously, "I will guard this place with my life. Don’t worry. I won’t let anyone enter this lake at all."

"Good. Once your wife has healed, I am sure she’d eventually descend back to earth realm," the white rabbit said. "I will tell her that you are waiting for her return."

"Thank you, Goddess. Please tell her that I want our son to have Stormfront as his surname. It is a clan name for the future Alpha of Storm Pack," Gale said. "My pack might’ve been gone by now, but my son can always start a new one."

"I will tell her that as well. I have to stay in the Goddess realm to take care of your wife, so I entrust this lake to you, little wolf."

"Yes, Goddess."

The white rabbit slowly ascended back to the moon, leaving Gale alone in Sacred Selene Lake.

Gale sat next to the statue, observing the lake intensely as he had a task that he absolutely did not want to mess up.

’This will be my place to reunite with Swan, and I will protect it with all my beings,’ Gale promised himself.

Swan regained her consciousness as she heard the cries of her baby. She opened her eyes slowly and saw the two Goddesses, Selene and Asmara who were busy trying to calm her newborn in Asmara’s arms.

"Mom... Aunt..."

Selene and Asmara turned their heads simultaneously, and the Moon Goddess quickly showered Swan with energy to continue healing her.

"Are you alright, dear? You can rest more if you need to. You just had a strenuous labor after all," Asmara said to her daughter.

Swan nodded weakly, "I feel weak... but I’m alright..." Swan turned her head towards the baby in her mother’s arms and she stretched her hands, "Give him to me, Mom. I want to carry him."

Asmara used her power to ensure the flower bed went up, so Swan could sit up before she carefully handed the baby to the rightful mother.

The baby who had been crying nonstop for hours after being born was finally eased after he was put in his mother’s arms. His eyes were closed as he continued to lick his lips, a sign that he was hungry.

"You should feed him, Swan. He has been crying for hours waiting. He is the first baby born in this Goddess realm, so he’ll be fine without milk, but of course, he still wants it," Asmara explained.

Swan nodded. She slid off her dress, and breastfed her son for the first time. She stared at her baby who seemed to be very hungry.

Swan gently caressed his wolf ears which started tilting back and forth when touched. The baby curled his small wolf tail as he felt at ease in his mother’s embrace. She chuckled and muttered, "You look so much like your father. I hope you will grow up to be as strong as he is."

The baby hadn’t opened his eyes the whole time. He had just cried nonstop and only stopped crying after being hugged by his mother and being fed.

After the baby was full, he stopped sucking Swan’s breast and yawned. He opened his eyes very slowly, staring at Swan with his golden eyes that were similar to hers after she ascended to become an angel.

Then, the baby closed his eyes again and fell asleep rather quickly.

Swan kept staring at her son for a while. There was already a feeling of yearning just by looking at him, because he reminded her so much of Gale.

Swan lifted her head and asked, "Mom, Aunt, where is Gale? I’ve changed my mind. I want to see him now. We still have to name our son together."

"He cannot stay, Swan," Asmara replied.

"Why not?"

"Because he needs to guard the Sacred Selene Lake. There is an upcoming danger that will change the fate of the earth realm. He has to stand and protect the lake as the only way for us to go back and forth between these two realms," Selene replied. "He told me to tell you that he wants the baby’s surname to be Stormfront, as it is inherited from the Alpha of Storm Pack. He said the Storm Pack might be no more, but your son can always lead a new one."

"That’s given. He is a Stormfront, after all," Swan smiled. "And as for his name, I already have an idea after staying in the Goddess realm for a while."
