Chapter 215
Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed
Chapter 215 âIâve been married for so many years and still donât have a cub,â Xivar said enviously, reaching out to touch Nyxâs stomach. âWe should worship you and pray in front of youâmaybe then Iâll finally have one.â
Xivar had never been particularly fond of cubs. She hadnât minded if she never had any. But after spending some time with the adorable Chubby, her desire for a cub had never been stronger.
âWhatâs the point of you guys if you canât give me a cub?â She pointed at her mates, unable to hold back her frustration.
Xivarâs mates immediately hung their heads in shame.
Nyx thought it was unnecessary for that far. âThereâs nothing wrong with your bodies. When fate decides, a cub will come naturally.â Nyx reassured her, patting Xivarâs shoulder.
Chubby imitated Nyx, using his tail to pat Xivar as well.
In the next second, his little tail was caught.
âChubby leaned in on his own! That must mean he wants a kiss from me,â Xivar said in a highâpitched voice before lunging at him and showering him with kisses. She thought Chubby was very adorable.
Chubby wasnât shy at all. He didnât resist on the contrary, he even flipped over, clearly enjoying the affection.
Nearby, Xivarâs mates watched with envy and turned to look at Jaws.
They thought that with such an adorable cub, Jaws could easily secure his place. He would never have to worry about falling out of favor for the rest of his life.
Jaws straightened his back, proudly accepting their envious and jealous gazes. After years of hardship, he was now the happiest of all males. And it was all thanks to Nyx.
When Nyx met his gaze, she gave him a gentle smile.
âTsk, look at himâheâs completely under your spell,â Xivar muttered.
Jaws had once been a notorious Space Pirate leader. Even after he surrendered to the Empire and fought on its battlefields, the people still struggled to forget his brutal reputation.
And yet, the fearsome warlord in everyoneâs eyes turned out to be nothing more than a loveâstruck fool and a devoted father.
Jaws let Chubby ride on his head and willingly knelt to massage Nyxâs legsâhe was practically their loyal servant.
Having observed this behavior, Chubby naturally picked up on how to take care of Nyx.
Despite being only a few days old, he was already feeding himself well. He even wrapped his little tail around a spoon and carefully scooped up egg custard for Nyx.
Nyx smiled and opened her mouth, allowing herself to be fed. âThank you, Chubby.â
âHeâs too good,â Xivar murmured while covering her mouth, her eyes welling up with envy.
She thought, âHow could a cub this obedient even exist? I want one too!â
Chubby never needed to be fed by an adult. His appetite was remarkable. Even before he hatched, he had been a little glutton, and after hatching, he continued to stuff himself daily. Within just a few days, he had visibly grown bigger.
1/3 19:12 Fri, 28 Feb Chapter 215 Xivar had freeloaded many meals at Nyxâs place, but today was the least she had ever eaten.
She was too busy watching the little python devour its food, her face filled with a doting smile.
After dinner, it was time for Nyxâs routine medical checkâup.
âWe should be able to see a clear image of the embryos today.â Zayne estimated based on the timeline.
âReally?â Xivar rushed over immediately, staring eagerly at the machine. âI want to see it!â
$
ི 47%â
Chubby also leaned in curiously. He didnât understand the machine, so he stared at it intently for a long while, only to see two small round shapes on the screen.
The next second, Xivarâs earâsplitting scream erupted beside him.
Xivarâs eyes widened in shock, nearly fainting from excitement.
Fortunately, Zayne reacted quickly and activated the soundproofing system of the medical pod in time. Otherwise, Nyx I would have been startled out of her wits.
Under Zayneâs stern gaze, Xivar sheepishly shut her mouth and lowered her head in apology.
But she was simply too ecstatic to contain herself, muttering under her breath, âTwo... two babies.â
Zayne only appeared composed on the surface. His breathing trembled as he repeatedly adjusted the angle to examine the images, his pale face gradually flushing red with excitement.
The soundproofing was too effectiveâNyx couldnât hear what was happening outside, but she could see the two of them reacting through the transparent pod door.
Xivarâs scream had drawn everyone over, and several burning gazes were practically drilling holes into the machine.
When Nyx finally stepped out of the medical pod, those gazes instantly shifted to her.
Nyx blinked in confusion, picking up the equally baffled Chubby. âWhatâs wrong?â
âWait a moment, let me worship you first.â Xivar clasped her hands together, got down on the ground, and began murmuring a solemn prayer, âPlease bless me with a baby.â
Nyx vaguely heard her muttering and was utterly bewildered. She thought Xivar went too far.
âNyx, both embryos are developing normally.â Zayne hugged her, his voice hoarse. âYou mustâve been through a lot.â
âNot at all, as long as theyâre healthy.â Nyx nodded before suddenly realizing what he had said. She took a deep breath. âTwo?â
âThatâs right.â Xivar clung to her thigh. âSo now you have three babies in total. Can you give me one?â
Nyx replied curtly, âNo.â
âThen at least let me borrow some of your luck.â Xivar started rubbing against her enthusiastically.
This unexpected blessing had struck Theon and Erik like lightning.
The two males were completely dazed, wandering around like lost souls, as if they had forgotten how to walk.
Chubby was overjoyed. âMommyâs the best!â
He had wished for a lion and a little gray wolfâand Nyx indeed had two.
2/3 19:12 FA, 28 Feb Chapter 215 Nyx subtly saw through him and quickly explained, âIt wonât nerewardly be one lion and one lee grey wolf. It could be two little hons or two linte gray wolves?
No way, itâs definitely going to be one lion and one little gray wolf? Chudry shook his head confidently, âMommy is the Nyx was rendered speechless. She just hoped Chubby wouldnât be too heartbroken if he turned out to be wrong Chubby was too happy, rolling around on the floor before pulling out his childâsized Intelligent Brain to share the good news with his limited list of contacts.
His dads and Xivar already knew, so there was no need for him to message them. Instead, he sent the news to everyone else.
Chubbys (Mommy is giving me two little brothersâone lion and one little gray wolf In the palace, Emperor and Queen jolted to his feet upon reading the message, gasping in shock. They thought, âWhat? Two babies? Children speak without filterâwhat they say isnât necessarily true. But Chubby suit the kind of child who lies for no reason there must be some truth to this!
They immediately contacted Aurelius to find out what was going on.
âThere are indeed two cubs. Nyxâs medical examination results just came out today, but itâs unclear whether they are lions or gray wolves,â Aurelius said, surprised at how quickly the news had reached his parents.
After ending the call, he couldnât help but chuckle and went straight to Nyxâs bedroom to tattle. âChubby leaked your medical results,â
Nyx rubbed her forehead helplessly. She already knew it. Everyone who had visited her and Chubby in the past few days or had added Chubby as a communication contact had received the news.
It had been far too long since twins last appeared in the Empire. Everyone was utterly shocked.
Coleman was already designing, clothes for the new cubs, Jorge had prepared a pile of medicinal herbs, and the Imperial Military Academyâs medical professors were planning another visit to examine her.
Even Heps had received the notification and was so excited he couldnât sleep all night. The next day at school, he showed up with dark circles under his eyes.
âWhat happened to you?â The class president asked with concern during lunch break.
Before Heps could answer, whispers of ridicule came from behind him. âIsnât it obvious? Heâs lost favor. Now that Lord Nyx has her own biological cubs, why would she still care about him?â
