Chosen Mate Of The Beastmen Empire

Nyx's first kiss landed on the golden lion's head.

Nyx waited, but nothing happened. She then focused on Theon's mouth.

She thought. "If kissing the head didn't work, maybe kissing the lips would:

Unlike humans, lions didn't have the concept of kissing. They usually used licking or muzzling to exchange smell as a form of intimacy. Nyx gave a light kiss, which meant little to the lion, but Theon didn't know why his heart suddenly started racing.

When he regained his senses, the lioness had already been taken away by his brother.

Black Mane raised a paw and pressed Nyx down, lowering his head to lick her face and body continuously. His actions were gentle, but his posture seemed a bit domineering and fierce.

He didn't understand the sour emotions in his heart, but Nyx could see through it. He was jealous.

As a beast. Felix was nowhere near as good at hiding his emotions as he was when he was a Beastman; all his feelings were displayed in a very obvious way

The golden-haired lion was even more straightforward and honest, charging up without hesitation to fight for it. "I'll do it. She wants me to lick her."

These words and actions further ignited Black Mane's jealousy.

The two male lions let out threatening roars at each other.

A few bold, fearless honey badgers watched the spectacle from nearby.

They thought, 'Could these two male lions, who usually have a good relationship, really be falling out over this? Just for a little stray lion cub?

Nyx was also startled. She thought, The two of them usually coexisted harmoniously at home, sometimes even coming to my bedroom together; how could they be fighting over something so small now?

Nyx said, “Stop. Don't fight."

Both male lions' attention was drawn to Nyx, and the tense vibe slightly eased as they both looked at her. "Which one do you

Want more?"

With both pairs of amber-colored beast eyes fixed on her. Nyx felt an overwhelming pressure and curled up helplessly, feeling weak and pitiful

She tried to stay neutral and whispered, “I like both."

The males didn't make things difficult for the fickle female.

They didn't need her to choose between them; just hearing her say she liked both of them made them feel better, and they stopped pressing her further.

Nyx's soft belly was exposed, and she was relentlessly licked by them, feeling utterly helpless.

The scene looked quite strange to the animals watching from the sidelines.

Even lionesses with cubs wouldn't lick their offspring with such overflowing affection.

But these were two male lions. They had picked up an unrelated cub and were raising it with so much care, completely delving their instimers.

Such bizarre events had never occurred on the vast grassland before.

In the afternoon, a few small birds gathered on a tree, chattering gossip.

"I saw it with my OWN CYTA,

Those two male lions fed the best meat to the lion cub❞

"Really!"

"I saw it too"

Why are they being so nice to her?" The gossiping birds tilted their heads in confusion. "Could the lion be their lost biological cub

"Of course not❞ the gossiping bird immediately denied it. "They're not even fully mature yet. Where would they get a cub from? Even if it were their biological cub, no other male lions would pamper it like they do. Besides, that lion obvious escaped from the Red Mountain Pride."

“Red Mountain Pride?" Alion's roar suddenly sounded from below the tree.noveldrama

The little birds shivered and looked down, only to see the two male lions they had been gossiping about standing side by

side

“No need to run away; we just want to ask you a few questions. Felix said, soothing the panicked little birds. These little birds were always gossiping and knew everything if they wanted information, they could almost always get the answers from them.

The golden-maned lion was eager to ask, "Do you know who Theon and Felix are? Where are they now?" Even though they didn't say anything, the lions were actually bothered by the way the lioness addressed them.

She showed them complete affection and dependence, but that was mostly because she had mistaken them for Theon and Felix.

Just thinking about it left both males feeling uneasy. It was as if they had become substitutes for other lions.

If their encounter with Nyx had been nothing more than a brief meeting, and they parted ways as strangers, they wouldn't have minded so much. But now, having decided to take care of her, they were filled with more conflict.

They thought. What if, while we are taking care of her, the real Theon and Felix suddenly show up? Would they take Nyx. away from us?

As impostors, they were no match for the real deal, and they knew they couldn't hold onto Nyx's heart.

So, they decided to take action. They would find the real Theon and Felix, challenge them, and drive them away so they would never dare to approach Nyx again

While Nyx slept soundly after eating, the two males quietly set out to gather information.

The little birds, sensing the intense fighting spirit from the two lions, exchanged nervous g

glances.

"W-We don't know."

"Never heard of them."

They had lived in the area for generations and had never heard of lions by those names, nor had any other animals outside the lion species.

“We can go ask elsewhere for you, the little birds promised.

After letting the birds go, the two males moved on to the next group. They searched the area for a long time but couldn't find any useful information.

They didn't dare venture too far, as Nyx was still resting in the thicket. After much hesitation, they reluctantly

gave up,

If we can't find any information, it means they're not nearby, and at least for now, they won't be coming to take Nyx away?" Felix said, trying to calm the anxious Theon. "We can keep looking"

Just as they were talking, a sudden rumble of thunder echoed through the sky.

The two males were startled and immediately quickened their pace, but no matter how fast they rushed, they were still step too late.

By the time they returned to the thicket, the torrential rain had already drenched Nyx, turning her into a soaked little

creature.

Nyx opened her eyes in confusion as the hurried males gently picked her up and moved her to a large, raised rock to shelter her from the rain.

Most animals on the grassland weren't afraid of rain and didn't need to seek shelter.

But this rain had come so suddenly and heavily that a weak little cub like Nyx could easily lose her body heat if drenched. A small illness could be fatal for her.

Nyx huddled under the rock, shaking her head to try and dry herself off. Her body was soaked, and her fur clumped together, making her look very disheveled. She felt uncomfortable and couldn't help but sneeze. The males looked at her with deep concern. They thought, Could she be getting sick?"

Unfortunately, bad premonitions often proved accurate.

By midnight, the rain continued, and Nyx suddenly spiked a fever.

In just a short time, her small body was burning with fever, trembling uncontrollably.

Hearing her labored breathing, the two males felt an unprecedented anxiety and unease, as if their hearts were being torn apan.

Theon kept licking the lioness' head, hoping she would get better soon. They thought, 'Please, please don't let

her stay sick

like this.

On the grasslands, countless lives were lost every day, and they had seen other animals succumb to illness. "Stay away from her. Don't get too close," Felix said after a long, silent hesitation, pulling Theon away. "Don't you remember? Upstream by the great river, there was a little leopard that got sick, and it caused its entire litter of brothers and sisters to die, even the mother was involved." Felix's voice was quiet, but Nyx,

barely conscious, still heard his

words.

She thought the contagiousness was so high and the fatality rate so severe, that little leopard most likely had

some kind of plague.

She wanted to argue for herself, to say that it wasn't a plague but just a chill she caught, and it wasn't contagious. But she didn't have the strength to speak and could only curl up helplessly.

Tue, 4 Mar

Felix didn't understand what was contagious or not. He was just worried that Theon might get sick from being near her, which was natural. She didn't blame him.

Half-conscious, she felt a hot holy pressed up against her again, enveloping her and licking her repeatedly

Nyx curled up in the warmth of the lion's embrace, gradually stopping her trembling, feeling less cold.

“Theon.” She whispered softly, barely managing to open her eyes a crack.

To her surprise, she saw Black Mane. Felix?"
