Chapter 165
Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed
Chapter 165 Jorge could already see itâPale Wolf getting rejected and letting out a heartbroken howl.
He sighed, resigned to the fact that heâd have to console the poor guy soon.
Silence filled the air.
Then, just like before, Nyx took one of his fluffy paws in her hand and smiled, âOkay.â

Jorge couldnât believe his eyes or ears. He thought, âDid she really say yes? Just how lucky is this Pale Wolf guy?â
Aurelius couldnât sit still anymore. His ears twitched as he glared at Pale Wolf, clearly annoyed. He thought, âGuess dumb luck is a real thing... Tch. Whatever, considering this guy risked his life to protect Nyx, Iâll let it slide for now!
Erik himself couldnât believe he actually succeeded in confessing. He just stood there, completely dumbfounded.
âBut thereâs something else I need to tell you,â Nyx said, brushing her fingers over the scar on his head.
She always told her mates the truth about her identity.
The others all had her mark, but she ure if Pale Wolf would want one. That had to be his choice.
Those words sent Erik into a spiral of nerves. He spent the entire afternoon lost in wild thoughts. Following Nyx home, he listened to her tell a miraculous story, and his expression grew even more dazed.
Yet, he never once doubted the truth of Nyxâs words. Without a trace of skepticism, he stood there in shock for a moment- then dropped to the ground with a thud.
Nyx flinched at the heavy impact.
âIâI swear to be loyal forever. Iâm willing to die for you,â Erik stammered, nervous to the point of stumbling over his words. Luckily, words didnât matter in this ritualâwhat counted was sincerity.
And he truly meant it. He would be Nyxâs loyal slave, and he really would die for her. He didnât need to say anything more- his actions had already proven it.
Nyx pulled him into a tight hug. âI accept.â
A mark appeared on Pale Wolfâs chest.
He frantically tugged his shirt open, staring at the tiny, adorable sapling before looking up at Nyx, eyes sparkling with excitement.
He belonged to Nyx now.
Even Aurelius had accepted Pale Wolf into the family, so the other males had no reason to object.
After dinner, Zayne gave his head wound another check.
Even with a fatal wound, Pale Wolf actually managed to survive on Desolate Planet using just some crude medicine. It was some serious toughness.
âItâs completely healed, so donât worry, Nyx,â Zayne said, flipping through the medical report in a calm 07:00 Sat, 22 Feb Chapter 165 Nyx let out a breath of relief and ran her fingers over Pale Wolfâs gruesome scar. âWhy is this scar still here?
âBecause itâs been too long since the injury: Zayne explained. âThe only way to remove it is to regrow the whole skinâ
As for how that process worked, he decided not to explain in detail. Itâd probably freak Nyx out Nyx froze. She suddenly thought of Jaws and his body covered in scare They had been old wounds, yet they all vanished in a single day. It was obvious what Jaws had done.
Nyx thought, Has he really gone that far, just to look a little better in front of me?
Erik noticed the shift in Nyxâs expression. Seeing how upset she looked, he quickly turned to Zayne.
Females hated ugly scars. He shouldâve taken care of it earlier.
âNo.â Nyx grabbed his arm, her voice trembling She only asked about the scar because she cared, not because she thought it was ugly.
Seeing her even more upset, Erik panicked. âOâokay, I wonât remove it.â
âIt doesnât hurt at all, really,â he clumsily tried to reassure her. âThe wound healed a long time ago.
The males all shifted into their beast forms, surrounding Nyx in a fluffy pile and trying to cheer her up.
Nyx wiped away her tears and smiled, and then sat down and pulled out a few small brushes. âAlright, letâs groom some fur.â
Of course, Seafarion wasnât left outâshe had special brushes and special scaleâcare oil ready for him.
The only one without anything prepared was Pale Wolf.
A new ball of fluff had joined the household, but Nyx hadnât gotten around to buying a new brush yet.
When she saw Pale Wolfâs pitiful eyes, guilt hit her hard. She quickly pulled up Intelligent Brain and said, âIâll order Unfortunately, the store was temporarily closed. Pale Wolf completely deflated and flopped onto the ground.
Meanwhile, Aurelius just had to make things worse. He leaped into Nyxâs arms, curling up against her and demanding another round of grooming.
Pale Wolf was fuming. He thought, That guy is definitely doing it on purpose.â
âNyx, he can use my little brush for now,â Zayne suddenly offered.
Their beast forms were both wolves. Even though they were different breeds, the same kind of brush would work for both of t Nyx was surprised and rubbed Zayneâs ears. âYouâre being so good today.â
Sheâd spent enough time with him to know just how jealous he could get. It was rare for him to be this generous.
Maybe because they were both canines and had both lived on Desolate Planet, the two wolves actually got along pretty well.
They also both had a problem with Aurelius.
In front of Nyx, they tried to keep things civil, but behind the scenes, tension ran high, and their fights often ended wit Nyx had noticed something was up.
07:00 Sat, 22 Feb D Chapter 165 3970 She secretly observed them a few times, confirming that they werenât going too far, and that their fights were kept within bounds, so she decided to turn a blind eye.
She thought that a little sparring wasnât a bad way to bond, after all.
Even when it was two against one, Aurelius didnât exactly have the upper hand, but he never really lost, either.
After waiting for many days, Aurelius finally got the chance when Nyx allowed a male to enter her bedroom. He waited eagerly for Nyx to choose him, but to his surprise, Nyx picked Zayneâs tag, and he couldnât hold it in any longer.
âNext time, I swear itâll be you,â Nyx said, hugging the sulking cat and rubbing his fur like crazy.
She was choosing based on how long she had known them and how long theyâd been together.
After Zayne, it shouldâve been Felixâs turn, but since Felix wasnât home, Aurelius moved up in the lineup.
The cat whined and rolled around in Nyxâs arms.
âThree days later? Two? How about tomorrow?â Nyx coaxed him. âOkay, tomorrow, I promise.â
She was really pulling out all the stops to pacify this clingy little furball.
Aside from Zayne, who was allowed to stay, all the other males left Nyxâs room.
Erik watched the white cat in disbelief. âShameless.â
Heâd always known that guy had two faces, but heâd never seen him act this shameless before.
He thought, âSeriously? Rolling around in my femaleâs arms, acting all spoiled just to get more attention?â
But Aurelius didnât care about being called names. His goal was already achieved. With a satisfied flick of his fluffy tail, he said, âBetter than you.â
Nyx liked him exactly the way he was.
Inside the room, Zayne turned off the main light, leaving only a small, dim night lamp on.
âAre you scared, Nyx?â he asked, gently squeezing her soft little hand.
Nyx shook her head. She was just a little nervous.
Theon could be impulsive sometimes, but Zayne was always calm and gentle. She had no reason to be afraid of him.
âDonât be scared. I wonât hurt you,â Zayne murmured with a soft chuckle, pulling her into his arms.
âBut I might get a little rough. Is that okay?â As he spoke, he took off his glasses. The moment those grayâblue eyes lost their cover, they became piercing and intense.
