“Why did you put Rock in the dungeon without my permission?”
Lady Jade paused when she heard that question. She got nervous, thinking that Gale might have accidentally heard her conversation with Rock just now.
But since he didn’t attack her immediately, it was safe to assume that Gale didn’t have a single clue about the poison, right?
Thus, Jade calmed down and replied, “I can’t help it. He is too far gone.”
“Too far gone?” Gale frowned. He remembered that Rock was just unconscious at the lake, but not dying.
Sensing Gale’s doubt, Jade quickly added, “He woke up not long after we carried him back to the castle, and then he started growling at all of us, even wanting to attack me before the guards suppressed him at the same time. We have to put him in the _dungeon after that.”
“I
gave him a dose of muscle relaxant so he wouldn’t be too feral, but he has been refusing to speak after he calmed down,” Jade shrugged. “There is no way to know what truly happened at the lake if he keeps his mouth shut.”
“Let me talk to him then. He is a proud young man, so he probably doesn’t respect you as much,” Gale said coldly. “I have to know why he attacked my mate.”
“He probably does it out of lust. He’s a young man, so he can be out of control sometimes,” Jade said. She kept blocking the path leading to the dungeon, hoping that Gale would just turn around and stop questioning.
Jade had known Gale for so long, and he was the type who didn’t care about many things, especially stuff that gave him a headache. That was the reason Jade existed, to handle the head–banging matters. (2)
Contrary to her expectation, Gale didn’t back down now, “Step aside, Jade. I will talk to him.”
ލ
Lady Jade’s body tensed. She wondered if the mute poison had already taken its effect since she couldn’t afford to be caught red–handed now.
“I’ll handle this. You should rest, Gale. You are still covered with lizard blood. Besides, you are also–Ah!” Jade was caught off guard when Gale grabbed her arrand pushed her to the side before walking towards the dungeon. “G–Gale, what is wrong with you?!”

“I told you I want to know what happened to my wife,” Gale repeated. He halted his step and then looked over his shoulder, “And don’t think that you are safe from this, Jade. I also have a question for you.”
Jade froze on the spot, staring at Gale who walked deeper into the dungeon towards the prison cell where Rock was detained. She clenched her fist as frustration welled up in her, and she was afraid of the idea of Gale knowing the truth.
She had been by his side ever since they were young. It had always been Gale and Jade, and they were meant to be Alpha and Luna before he got cursed, and now he couldn’t identify which one was his fated mate. 2
Jade knew that she wasn’t the one, because he had zero urge to mark her. They were incompatible. 2
But that didn’t mean she couldn’t stay by his side forever as his most trusted aide.
So, what would happen if Gale knew that she planned to force Rock to rape Swan?
Lady Jade shivered out of fear, but she could only wait until Gale finished interrogating Rock. She should come up with a good reason for when he interrogated her.
Gale opened the prison cell. He stood in front of Rock whose limbs were chained with steel chains. Rock’s head drooped as he had been given a muscle relaxant, just like what Jade said.
But that didn’t mean he couldn’t speak at all, right?
Thus, he called him, “Rock Silverfang. Raise your head.”
Rock lifted his head obediently, as he had a deep respect for his Alpha.
Rock’s eyes were crystal clear. Gale knew that his beta was fully conscious right now.
Gale looked down on him with his imposing figure, like a God ready to bestow judgment,
“Tell
me what truly happened. Whether I will spare you or not, depends on your next answer,” Gale said solemnly.
Rock opened his mouth, but just as he expected, he couldn’t say a thing. His voice box had been destroyed by that mute poison. 2
Gale sensed that Rock was trying his best to speak to no avail, so he ordered him, “I will ask you a question, and you can answer it with a nod or head sh
Understood?”

Rock nodded.
Gale had a lot of questions in mind, but he started with, “Did you plan to attack my wife
at the lake?”
Rock shook his head.
“Did you lose control over yourself at the lake?”
Rock nodded.
Gale began to get a gist of the situation. It seemed that Rock had truly gone out of control for an unknown reason. It was almost impossible for a young wolf to get into a rut with his Alpha’s mate.
Unless…
Gale took a deep breath as he prepared for the worst, “Did you fall in love with my
mate?”
There was no answer from Rock this time, which basically confirmed it.
Gale clenched his fists. He began to grunt as he held back his rage, “Answer me!”
Rock hung his head low this time. He was too ashamed to admit it, but he was also confused with his own feelings. Did he actually fall in love with Princess Swan?
If he shook his head, then he would be lying because he did lust over her, and genuinely admired her beauty. He was also allured by her strangely familiar scent.
Rock had always been very honest to a fault, so Gale already had an idea in his mind.
“Grrh!” Gale kicked him in the stomach, and the young beta grimaced in pain. “Ungrateful prick! You dare to lust over my wife!” (1
Rock had fully resigned to his fate if he died in Gale’s hand. After all, he was stupid enough to get trapped by Lady Jade. He was so careless that he almost killed the woman he was supposed to protect.
If death could pardon his carelessness, then so be it. 3
