Gale let go of his wife. When Swan tried to reach his arm, he hastily avoided it, making her hand grab air.
He got up from the bed and took a step back to make sure that Swan couldn't reach him.
"I will never kill you, no matter what you've done. You are still my beloved, but I cannot let you go unpunished, Swan," Gale said.
Swan's heart sank after his statement.
She was neither the kindest nor the most truthful. She lied, and hid the truth many times, whether it was about Rock or her power as she was scared that Gale would kill her.
Just like the rest of the humans out there, Swan longed for comfort and a beautiful life. She was willing to lie if that meant she could keep her peaceful life with her beloved husband.
She knew she made a mistake and deserved to get punished for her sin, even if the punishment wasn't death.
