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.
