Chosen Mate Of The Beastmen Empire

After much hesitation, the lioneses decided not to voice their concerns. They didn't want to spoil Nyx's good mood.

They didn't finish the remaining antelope but called the little lions over to share it with them.

Black Scar also wanted to eat the meat. But since Nyx was here, he didn't want to provoke those two terrifying young lions. He reluctantly walked off a little farther.

Watching the little lions devouring the meat, the females sighed, "If only we had listened to you back then.

Nyx had warned them, but they had hesitated and hadn't followed her to migrate in time.

The very next day after Nyx left, the river around their territory dried up completely. The sun beat down, evaporating all the water, and the once lively grassland turned silent.

Without water to drink and no prey around, their hope for rain vanished. They had no choice but to leave their territory, following the migrating herd, traveling day and night.

In such extreme conditions, with a long journey ahead, the mortality rate for the little lions was very high. Luckily, the little lions of the Red Mountain Pride were already old enough to survive independently, or the survival rate would have been even lower.

Thinking of the two little lions that had fallen behind, the females looked gloomy. Nyx nudged them with her head, silently offering comfort.

Soon, the females cheered up again. “We need to go hunting.”

They had finally reached this oasis, seeing a glimmer of hope for survival, so they couldn't afford to slack off. The females went hunting, and Nyx stayed behind to look after the little lions for a while.

These little lions were only about seven or eight months younger than her, but they didn't eat as well as she did, so they looked much smaller and still had the appearance of cubs.

They had been secretly groomed and played with by Nyx since they were little, so they were very familiar with her and sweetly called her name.

Nyx patiently played with them until the females returned from hunting, and then she said goodbye and happily ran back to her mates. Reuniting with the Red Mountain Pride, she was in a great mood.

Seeing her so cheerful, the two male lions spoke with a hint of jealousy. “You actually came back? Well... it's good you came back."

Hearing this, Nyx felt a little odd.

For a moment, she felt like Theon and Felix were like housewives waiting for their husbands to come home, while she was the carefree man about town.

She wanted to laugh but held it back, instead gently flattering them. "Of course I came back, no other lion out there is going to hunt big antelopes for me."

Hearing her say that, Theon and Felix instantly felt that their worth had been recognized, and their mood lightened.

They were off to catch a gazelle for Nyx. They were going after the biggest one.

Nyx smiled as she watched them go. Although her mates were a bit too possessive, she didn't feel repelled by

it.

When they were in human form, they were easy to handle, but now that they'd lost their memories and turned into big lions, they were kind of clumsy, and with just a few words, she could manage them. It was really cute.

The oasis wasn't lacking in gazelles or other prey.

The Red Mountain Pride had successfully hunted a wild boar.

Black Scar had eaten his fill, and now it was the lionesses' turn to feed.noveldrama

Nyx's mother, Sasha, looked up and saw Theon and Felix heading out to hunt.

It seemed Nyx hadn't lied to them.

Those two male lions were really willing to keep taking care of her, even though she'd already joined the pride, and they were still hunting for her.

No matter what happens later, at least right now, she was living well.

Sasha's anxious feelings calmed a little, and she buried her head in the meat.

Due to migrating late, the Red Mountain Pride had arrived too late and could only settle on the outskirts of the oasis for

now.

Lions were good at adapting, and after a few days, their lives got back on track.

Nyx occasionally visited them, bringing little gifts to spoil them.

As a lion, she didn't have a phone or an Intelligent Brain to mess around with, so her entertainment options were pretty limited.

Although she didn't feel too bored when she was with her mates, getting out and about always lifted her mood.

In the past, the two male lions would follow Nyx wherever she went, always by her side.

But now, they had the responsibility of guarding the territory and had to stay home, waiting for her to come back once she was done playing.

They thought, ‘Being a lion king isn't all it is cracked up to be....... It might be better to let another lion take that position.

“Nyx, after the dry season, we should leave this place," Theon suggested.

Nyx got confused. Actually, she didn't think staying here was so bad.

Felix gently licked her cheek. "Life was freer before, don't you think? When it was just the three of us."

Nyx thought for a while and nodded. "Alright."

Staying here meant the male lions, as kings, had to face endless fights to protect their territory.

During the dry season, they'd stay here to survive, but when the rains came, leaving wouldn't make life harder.

By then, they wouldn't have to rush like they did during migration. They could take their time, wander around, and explore the vast grasslands.

She didn't have much attachment to the territory, and neither did Theon and Felix, so it seemed perfect for some travel and new experiences.

With Nyx's approval, the male lions were overjoyed.

In the evening, they worked hard to hunt and brought back a wild buffalo to celebrate.

The three lions had a big meal, and then went to the river to clean themselves up. They picked a big, leafy tree to rest under.

With their eyes closed, Theon and Felix skillfully used their tails to swat mosquitoes away from Nyx. It had become a habit, like a little skill they had developed over time.

Nyx was free from many annoyances and comfortably lay there, quickly falling into a deep sleep.

Late at night, the roar of the male lions echoed across the sky, followed by the growls of the lionesses, throwing everything into chaos.

Countless animals were disturbed.

Herbivores and weaker carnivores fled into the distance, while some fearless predators went the other way, heading toward the sounds to see what was happening.

Nyx was startled too. She suddenly opened her eyes, jumping up in a hurry. "What's going on?"

The two male lions woke up first, already on alert, positioning themselves on either side of her to protect her.

The source of the noise was far away, but Nyx listened carefully, and her face turned grim. "It's the Red Mountain Pride. Something happened to them."

She could recognize the voices of her mother and aunts, but she couldn't make out exactly what they were roaring about.

"Don't worry.” Felix immediately reassured her. “I'll go check it out."

He gave Theon a glance, signaling him to stay in the territory, to stay with Nyx and keep her safe, while he rushed toward the sound.

Nyx chased after him, wanting to go with him, but was stopped by Theon. Reluctantly, she stopped and shouted, "Be careful!"

She definitely cared about the safety of the lioneses and cubs in the Red Mountain Pride, but nothing

mattered more than her mate's safety.

Felix let out a low growl in response.

Maybe it was the roar of the lion king that gave a sense of deterrence, or maybe the incident was over, but the noise over there gradually died down.

Nyx's mind started to wander even more. She couldn't help but pace around the territory, feeling restless.

The lioneses from the Great Valley Pride woke up, coming closer and gently rubbing against her to comfort

her.

They knew about Nyx's connection with the outsider lion pride, so they really understood how she was

feeling.

The evening breeze blew, and the hot summer wind carried the faint scent of blood.

Along with it came the news from over there. A few birds flew back and forth, chirping away like news reporters. "Black Scar's dead."
