Swan was confused about who Gale was talking about, but she kept her composure and smiled, "I don’t understand what you are saying, dear husband."
Gale began to recall that important dream, which made him change his mind. freewebnovel.cσ๓
At first, he didn’t care about who would be his Luna. He heard a few things about fated mates, and how some Alpha had their fated mate somewhere, but Gale simply thought of it as a mere fairytale, and would rather focus on strengthening himself, so he could protect the Storm Pack once he became an Alpha.
He didn’t even care if Jade would be his Luna because mating was just a process to produce offspring, who would also protect their pack in the future.
However, his view of love changed drastically once he had a dream, where he saw a woman standing in the middle of their lake. Basking in the moonlight, her body emitted gold and silver light.
Just like Swan right now.
"I had a dream before I became the Alpha of Storm Pack. In that dream, I saw a woman emitting gold and silver light standing in the middle of the lake, just like you. I cannot see her face, but I know she has long golden hair," Gale described.
"Then, what did she tell you, husband?"
"She told me that I shouldn’t mate with anyone until I find her. She told me she is a human, and it will take a long time until we can meet again," Gale muttered. "That woman was you, Swan."
"I wasn’t born yet when that happened, dear husband," Swan smiled. "But if you think that woman is me, then I’m glad to have been present in your dream long ago. Because that means we are meant to be together, right?"
Swan knew that she wouldn’t be able to say all this in real life. She was just being selfish right now because she had always wanted to say those things. She wanted to be selfish to the point that she wanted Gale to be exclusive only for her.
"Yes, we are meant to be together," Gale affirmed, but he seemed to be using those words as a reminder for himself to stay true. "I will make sure that will happen, Swan."
"For once, I want to be selfish. I want all of you for myself. Don’t ever try to mate with another woman, alright, husband?" Swan requested, and Gale nodded obediently. She looked down at the moon’s reflection on the lake’s surface and continued, "This dream is nice, but I think it’s time for me to go. Goodbye, Gale Stormfront."
Gale witnessed how Swan’s body slowly dispersed into bits of gold dust and scattered by the wind. Losing his composure, he exclaimed in panic, "No! Please stay with me, wife. I don’t want this dream to end!"
Gale didn’t think twice before quickly jumping into the water as he tried to desperately grab his wife.
It didn’t matter whether she was a witch or an angel because she would never hurt him in the end.
"Though, I believe you’re just a human," Gale muttered as he stared at Swan. "Don’t worry, sweetheart. I won’t doubt you anymore. I’d rather believe in you than get a headache from thinking about stuff Jade said about you. That you are a witch."
Gale was in a great mood today, so he cuddled Swan again and fell asleep not long after. He didn’t dream of anything this time, but Swan’s warmth was more than enough to put him at ease.
Swan continued listening to Gale’s heartbeat, and once she was sure that Gale had fallen asleep again, she opened her eyes slowly.
’I’m so glad that you finally stopped doubting me, Gale. It’s true though, I will never hurt you with my power. All I want is to protect you from harm, including yourself.’
Swan smiled bitterly as she still wanted to stay in Gale’s dream longer. But the Goddess told her it was time to leave, so her body began to scatter into dust right in front of Gale.
’I hope you won’t get angry at me for showing my power in his dream, Goddess. I want to show it to him because at least I can be honest for once, even if it was in his dream,’ Swan said in her heart.
Of course, she got no answer from the Goddess as she was already wide awake, but her heart felt much more in peace.
