The Mind-Reading Mate Why Is the Lycan King So Obsessed With Me novel Chapter 238

Chapter 238: The Mate Worth Waiting For

Most of the time, the Moon Goddess would reveal a lycan or werewolf’s destined mate once they turned twenty or sometimes even earlier. But thirty-five? No wonder her husband had been so angry with the Moon Goddess.

Lycans were known for their strong desires, and when those desires stayed unfulfilled for years, the frustration could become overwhelming. In Edmund’s case, it had made him moody and irritable, like he constantly wanted to smash something just to let it out.

"I truly thought the Moon Goddess would never give me a mate," Edmund said quietly. "But when she finally told me it was you ... I understood why she made me wait so long."

[Our age gap is too wide. If the Moon Goddess had told me her name when I was twenty ...]

[Forget it. I don’t even want to think about that.]

It sounded a little wrong, indeed.

However, in the human kingdoms, it was quite common for older men to seek much younger women as their partners.

But more often than not, those young girls were treated as nothing more than concubines. They were treated more like toys to warm the men’s bed and were only pampered when the men got into fights with their wives.

More than that, the men would abandon them once they were no longer young and beautiful.

Primrose had seen that happen far too often. At one point, she even assumed Edmund was no different from those kinds of men.

But he wasn’t. Not only did he look young, like a man in his mid-twenties, he also never treated her like she was there just to warm his bed.

Still, she had to admit, this big age gap might’ve been one of the reasons their communication was so difficult.

After all, the human brain only finished developing around the age of twenty-five. So it wasn’t surprising that in her first life, she had acted so immature.

Even now ... sometimes, she still didn’t think she was that emotionally mature. But at least, she had grown since then. And yet, Edmund’s own behavior back in that first life hadn’t helped either.

Their first marriage had been doomed from the start, so what was the point of overthinking it now?

"It doesn’t matter when you find your mate," Primrose said gently, taking his hand. "You had to wait longer than others because it simply wasn’t your time yet. Besides ... if you had met your mate at twenty, it probably wouldn’t have been me."

"I wouldn’t want anyone else to be my mate," Edmund said, holding her hand tighter. "Yeah, I was angry back then, thinking the Moon Goddess had forgotten about me. But now ... now I know she was just saving the best for last."

He looked at her like she was the only thing that mattered in the world. "I’m grateful it’s you, Primrose. I wouldn’t trade you for anyone."

[I never imagined anyone else could be my mate,] Edmund thought.

[Even before the Moon Goddess told me her name, I couldn’t picture any woman’s face or voice in my mind, not even one.]

[It always felt like something was missing ... and when the Moon Goddess said her name, it was like the last missing piece in my heart finally clicked into place.]

When Primrose heard his words, she couldn’t help but wonder that maybe Edmund really had never been with another woman during their first marriage.

The kiss was deeper than before, but it didn’t last more than a minute. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
