Chapter 51 The King's Mate?

• King Pontione’s POV
• “Mate!” my lion Zuka roared, wagging his tail at the back of my mind. I couldn’t believe this. I wasn’t expecting it. How come? My fated mate died when Lance was only three years old. For 18 years, the Goddess made me suffer without giving me a second-chance mate—and now she decides to give me a human mate in my old age?
• I know we live for centuries, and I’m not really that old. She doesn’t appear that old either, but I can’t accept a human mate. How will my subjects look at me?
