Chosen Mate Of The Beastmen Empire

"Mistress, have you noticed any changes in the estate recently?" Nico teased, setting up a mystery.

Nyx instinctively looked around, blinking in confusion, and shook her head. "I don't move around much, so I didn't notice any changes."

Most of the time, she stayed in the yard, accompanying Pale Wolf. The two of them would nest together and never got bored no matter how long they stayed.

Only when Pale Wolf had business to attend to would she wander a bit, looking around here and there.

"Oh, right," Nico quickly apologized with a forced smile. "How could I forget?"

He no longer kept things mysterious and directly told Nyx about the strange events, "These past few days, the several idols in the manor were all sent away, and the protective charms were removed as well.

"I heard that the young master even ordered that no monks or priests be allowed to enter the Duke's residence from now

on."

These happenings were quite unusual, and there were even rumors in the manor saying that Erik had been possessed.

However, aside from that, Erik was as normal as could be, even in a better mood. The rumors about possession gradually died down.

Nyx initially didn't understand what was going on until she heard about the monks and priests being banned from entering, and she suddenly realized, nearly choking on her saliva.

She coughed violently a few times, her face turning red as she didn't know whether to laugh or express some other emotion.

She thought, 'Pale Wolf, this fool, really believes I am a ghost, huh? He isn't even worried that I would harm him. He has done so many things for me but never told me. He doesn't even bother to boast or ask for praise.

Hearing her cough, Nico was startled and almost ran to find a doctor.

"I'm fine." Nyx caught her breath and quickly stopped him. "Go on and do your thing. I'm heading back now."

They had been walking for a while after dinner, and now she couldn't wait to return to Pale Wolf and tease him a little.

On the way back, as she thought about the news she just heard, a smile unconsciously appeared on her face, and the corners of her mouth couldn't be suppressed.

Stepping into the yard, her pace quickened, taking three steps at once as she rushed to the door. Just as she was about to push it open, she suddenly heard a woman's voice from inside, and her actions instinctively paused.

She thought, 'Is it a maid?' She looked around in confusion.

Usually, when she wasn't around, Pale Wolf only had Arlong do things, never calling anyone else to serve him.

Looking around, she didn't see Arlong in the yard.

It seemed Arlong must have been busy with something else, and Pale Wolf had called a maid to substitute temporarily.

Nyx quickly thought of an explanation.

Her hand had already reached the door, and she was about to push it when suddenly she heard an angry shout, "Get out!" The voice was deafening, full of unmasked anger. Nyx was startled and reflexively released her grip, stepping back a few

paces.

It was Pale Wolf's angry voice.

Since she arrived, the violent Erik, as the rumors said, had always been easily controlled by her, behaving in a docile

manner.

She almost forgot the first day she entered this door, she had also been greeted with an angry shout and a broken cup.

Nyx furrowed her brows and suddenly pushed open the door. "What's going on?"

She wondered if someone had angered Pale Wolf, or if he was once again lashing out at innocent people for no reason.

With a loud bang, the door flew open, and the air instantly became quiet.

As Nyx took in the scene in front of her, her eyes widened in shock. Without hesitation, she quickly stepped forward.

Jinx and Jules were kneeling weakly on the floor, and Jinx was shielding Jules, with Erik holding a sword aimed directly at Jules' vulnerable throat.

It seemed that if Nyx had come in a second later, there would have been one or two corpses on the floor.

As soon as Erik saw Nyx, the murderous aura in his eyes dissipated in an instant. When he saw her approaching, there was a trace of anxiety in his eyes, and his grip on the sword tightened, his knuckles turning pale.

It wasn't until Nyx safely walked up to him that he slightly relaxed, pulling her behind him and protecting her.

"What happened?" Nyx gently linked her arm with his, pulling the dangerous sword a little further away.

She looked down at Jinx and Jules, hoping to get an explanation from them, but both kept their heads down, seeming too scared to meet her eyes, as if they were trembling with fear.

"You two go on ahead." Nyx waved her hand, signaling for them to leave.

Erik remained silent, standing by Nyx's side, his gaze trailing after the two maids as they hurried out of sight.

The room was left with just the two of them.

Erik holding a sword had sharp eyebrows and a cold, tough aura around him. For

a moment, Nyx felt as though she were seeing Erik on the battlefield, as described in the rumors.

But this was clearly not the right time or place for that.

She reached out to take her mate's hand, intending to relieve him of the sword.noveldrama

"It's heavy." Erik dodged slightly, preventing Nyx from handling the sword she wouldn't be able to lift. Following her intentions, he sheathed the sword and casually tossed it aside.

Erik, who had exuded such murderous intent just moments ago, now appeared harmless in front of his beloved mate, standing obediently.

Nyx sat down first, patting the spot beside her to signal for him to sit. He immediately moved closer and sat down beside

her.

His breathing was slightly hurried, and he cautiously stole glances at Nyx's expression.

He thought, 'Has Nyx heard me swear?

Whether she heard or not, it was obvious she had seen him attempt to kill someone, and that was a fact beyond dispute.

The thought that Nyx might dislike him now made Erik's face turn pale, and he found it hard to breathe.

“Alright, tell me what happened." Nyx gently took his hand and ran her other hand through his hair. "What exactly is going

on?"

She still believed in her mate's character, trusting he wouldn't resort to violence and take someone's life without good

reason.

Feeling the coolness of her small hand, Erik's desperate thoughts suddenly halted, and the brightness returned to his eyes, a glimmer of hope emerging. "They first said they were flower house servants you sent to deliver flowers," his voice contained a hint of barely perceptible grievance, defending himself.

If it weren't for the fact they were using Nyx's name, he would never have let them

in.

Nyx's gaze fell upon the table, where a vase held freshly blooming flowers. It was obvious they had just been replaced. Large, blooming lilies filled the vase, their petals vibrant and full, their symbolism auspicious and pleasant.

"Just these flowers?" She idly flicked at a few, inhaling their strong fragrance.

"Yes." Erik blushed slightly, embarrassed to admit how excited he had felt when he first saw the flowers.

He had thought Nyx was showing him affection, hoping for a lifetime together. But that dream was shattered quickly.

Jinx and Jules had arranged the vase, but instead of leaving, they boldly approached him, one giving him suggestive looks and undressing, while the other gazed at him with a pitiful expression, biting her lip.

Although Erik was somewhat clueless about matters of men and women, he

wasn't completely oblivious.
