Rock’s claw was only an inch away from Swan’s face when Swan’s hair suddenly turned bright, and a blinding light emanated from her body.
*GRRHHH!” Rock felt there was a barrier around Swan’s body, and when he tried to break into the barrier, an unseeable force suddenly blew him away.
“ARGGH!!” Rock was thrown away until his back hit the tree behind him. He vomited blood as he felt that he had been punched by hundreds of invisible fists.
However, thanks to the pain and the blood he vomited, he began to slowly regain his clarity. His blurry gaze began to clear up as he kept staring at Princess Swan who was still closing her eyes, and the moment her body stopped emanating bright light, all the strange rut he experienced before had magically disappeared.
Rock reverted to his human form, and he kept vomiting blood as he smiled
apologetically at the woman he was supposed to protect, “Forgive me… princess…”
And with that, Rock lost his consciousness.
Meanwhile, at the castle, Gale had just finished fighting another rebellion coming from lizard beastmen in the south marsh. He was bloody exhausted, and there was nothing that could make it better for him other than a bath, a nice meal, and his beautiful, yet timid mate.
But when he jumped into the bedroom from the window, he didn’t see any sign of his mate anywhere.
He could still faintly detect her unique scent, so Swan must’ve left the room not long ago.
“Swan?” Gale walked towards the bathroom, thinking she was inside, but there was not answer. So he opened the main door and saw the two cat maids already kneeling in front of him. “Where is she?”
“P–Princess Swan is in your private lake, Your Majesty,” Maya replied.
“She is there with Rock Silverfang. She said she wants to give you a surprise once you’ve arrived,” Myra added. They were holding their breaths because the blood of lizard beastmen on their King’s body made them nauseous.
“A surprise?” Gale got excited. He thought that their relationship soured last night,

because Swan kept on talking about sacrifice and refused to drop the topic.
But it seemed that she was just bored in her room. So, giving her a bit of freedom was all it needed to make her happler.
Thus, Gale’s lips curled up a bit and he said, see. Then I will-”
AWOOOO!!
Gale turned his head when he heard that haunting howl coming from the private lake.
Of course, he could identify that howl immediately, because he was the one who subjugated his young beta, Rock Silverfang.
It was a howl of a young wolf finding his matel
Gale had a bad feeling about this, so he rushed towards the window and shifted into his bipedal werewolf form mid–air.
He rushed towards his private lake, and his heart dropped when he saw Swan, cowering at the lakeside while covering her head. Her body was shaking, and she was sobbing as if she had just seen something horrible.
A few meters from her, Rock was lying on the ground, unconscious and naked.
“Grrhhh…” Gale sheathed his claws. He was unsure what was happening here. Because his initial thought was his beta went rogue and wanted to rape his mate.
But seeing how Rock laid unconscious, he might’ve guessed wrong.
Nevertheless, he rushed towards Swan and slowly returned to his human form so as not to frighten his timid wife who wouldn’t be able to endure his overwhelming aura.
He kneeled right in front of Swan and hugged her tightly.
Swan jolted for a second as she was frightened, thinking it was Rock who was about to
kill her.
But then, Gale said, “Wife, tell me what happened.”
Swan slowly opened her eyes, she looked up, staring at Gale with tears flowing from the corner of her eyes.
She opened her lips, but could not utter a single word. It was so traumatizing for her. She also didn’t understand what just happened after Rock lunged at her, because at that time, she had already braced for the pain
Gale sensed the overwhelming fear coming from her. So he hugged her tighter and patted her back. “I think it’s best for you to go back to your room first. Don’t worry

about anything, and tell me once you’ve calmed down.”
Swan was still sobbing, but her tense body gradually softened while being embraced by
Gale.
“What is happening here?”
Gale turned his head, and saw Jade with a few guards behind her, “I heard a howl in your private lake, so I rushed with a few guards since I know it’s not your howl.”
Gale pointed at the unconscious beta with his chin, “I don’t know what happened either. Rock was already unconscious when arrived, and my mate is crying.”
“Oh…” Jade didn’t sound surprised. She paused for a second and asked, “Is she hurt?”
“No. She’s fine,” Gale replied. But he didn’t pay attention to Jade. He carried Swan, then turned towards Jade to give an order, “Take Rock Silverfang back to the castle and nurse him if he’s wounded. I have a few questions to ask. I don’t sense any intruder in my domain, but go and patrol the castle and lake to make sure.”
Jade wasn’t happy seeing the trembling but unharmed little woman in Gale’s arms, but
Gale didn’t notice her unhappiness because he was too focused on her.
“Understood,” Jade nodded. “I’ll handle it. You should go now“”
Gale nodded, and he leaped into the woods, rushing back to the castle.
Jade gritted her teeth. She didn’t know what went wrong during the process. Because she expected Gale to witness Rock defiling his mate, making him too disgusted to touch Swan after this and ditch that bitch.
But she was also confused with the unconscious beta.
“There is no way that a weak human can fight against a powerful young wolf in his rut. So what went wrong?” Jade was frustrated because she had no answer to it.
“What should we do next, Milady?” one of the guards asked.
Lade Jade glanced at Rock and ordered, “Bring him back to the castle, tie him up, and tell me when he regains consciousness.”
‘I will make sure he won’t say a thing to Gale!
