Chapter 280
Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed
Chapter 280 After she slept through the night, Nyxâs belly was even emptier, and she felt completely listless.
She didnât have the energy to argue with these gossiping birds, but deep down, she remained firmly confidentâTheon and Felix would never abandon her.
She thought maybe this was a test from the Heavenly Law. If, despite losing their memory, they were still willing to defy their instincts for her, that love was worth eternal life.
âLook, sheâs starving.â
âBlack Mane and Golden Mane havenât come back yet.â
âShe definitely wonât be coming back.â
âTsk. so pitiful.â
Just as they were lamenting, the two male lions, each with a prey in their mouths, suddenly appeared and hurriedly ran towards Nyx.
The chattering birds suddenly went silent.
Within a few seconds, the little birds all flew away, escaping to a safer distance, before daring to stop and continue watching.
âA buffalo.
âThey caught a buffaloâ
Watching the massive animal weighing a thousand pounds being dragged into the bushes by the two male lions, they finally understood why these two lions had returned so late.
Such prey might require the whole pride to hunt, and failure could result in injuries, but these two male lions looked unharmed.
However, they also regretted returning later than expected. If theyâd chosen easier prey, theyâd probably have already returned to the young lioness.
Both male lions felt a bit frustrated.
They just wanted to give the young lioness something special to show their strength and reassure her to stay with them, but instead, they had left her starving.
Driven by strong survival instincts, Nyx shakily stood up and staggered towards the prey, not caring about anything else. biting down immediately.
But it wouldnât budge.
The buffaloâs hide was too thick and tough; Nyx wasted a lot of effort, but couldnât tear any meat off.
Black Mane gently pushed her aside with his paw to prevent her from damaging her small teeth.
Watching this from the branches, the birds whispered and mocked.
âHow dare she âSuch audacity.â
1/4 Tue, 4 Mar Chapter 280 âShe doesnât know any manners.
âSee? Sheâs been pushed aside.
âMaybe she wonât get to eat again.â
Even the birds knew that within the lion pride, hierarchy was strictâonce a kill was made, the male lion leader ate first. followed by the females, and only then could the cubs cat.
This little cub, whether from hunger or recklessness, had openly challenged the males. A skipped meal was the least of her worries; she would most likely get punished.
Some of the more timid birds couldnât bear to watch any longer and turned their heads, while the bolder ones continued to observe.
The two male lions quickly began to dismantle the entire buffalo, tearing out the tenderest parts of the meat and offering them to the young lioness.
The birds watching from afar made strange calls, so shocked they nearly fell off the tree.
They thought. What are these two male lions doing? Have they gone mad?â
The two lions, without a word, simultaneously gave up their right to eat first, offering the best cuts of meat to the young lioness, holding their breath and nervously watching her.
Luckily, the young lioness had already been weaned and could eat meat on her own.
a After a piece of meat was swallowed, Nyx finally regained some energy.
The two males breathed a sigh of relief and continued feeding her, tearing meat off and handing it to her piece by piece.
Seeing Nyx eating slowly, they couldnât help but urge her, âHurry up, eat faster!â
It wasnât because they were impatient, but out of concern.
Living on the vast savannah, every second counts when it comes to filling your stomach. No one knows if an unexpected danger will strike, a sense of danger thatâs ingrained deep in the bones of wild animals.
A cub that needs to be urged to eat like this will struggle to get enough food once it grows up and joins the pride. It will likely go hungry most of the time.
Thinking about the young lionessâ future life in the pride, both male lions felt an unexpected heaviness in their hearts, as if some emotion had lodged there, making them very uneasy.
Nyx had no idea what they were thinking. She followed their urging, focusing intently on her struggle with the meat in front of her, eating too quickly. She accidentally choked and began to burp uncontrollably.
The two male lions were terrified and immediately started rubbing and patting her back, trying everything to help her, until the young lioness finally recovered They never dared to urge her again. They thought, Let her eat slowlyâitâs okay, sheâs still young. Itâs no big deal; theyâll keep taking care of her.
After Nyx finished eating, her little belly was round and full, and she lay there, content. Only then did the two male lions. begin to eat, satisfied.
The lions didnât care how scandalous their actions were, but the birds and other animals watching were completely stunned, deeply shocked by the sight..

35%ç The two male lionsâ actions were no different from lifting this weak lioness high, acknowledging her as their leader. This was like turning the world upside down.
âOh my.â
âAre they still male lions?â
âWhy are they pampering a lion they found?â
They thought. They not only keep her, but also let her enjoy supreme power. Such a weak lioness doesnât seem to have any extraordinary potential. She even choked while eating meat.
Several monkeys hung upside down on trees, observing with knowing expressions, making their judgment with certainty.
âIf you ask me, theyâre just doing it on a whim?
âI think so too.
They probably found a little toy to play with, and soon theyâll throw her away.â
Almost instantly, the sharp gazes of the male lions locked onto them. They thought, âSo noisy. What nonsense are they spouting?â
They had been focused on Nyx earlier and hadnât bothered to intimidate the noisy ones, but now they finally had the time to deal with them.
Feeling the palpable killing intent, the onlookers quickly scattered, fleeing at top speed.
The spectacle was great, but keeping their lives intact was more important.
Although it was a pity not to continue watching, the gossip they got today was enough to last a long time as conversation.
material, something they could talk about wherever they went.
The area quieted down.
With her hunger satisfied. Nyx started thinking about more serious matters.
She tilted her little head and crouched in front of the goldenâhaired male lion, calling to him cautiously. Theonâ
The goldenâhaired lion didnât immediately respond.
After a while, he realized Nyx was calling him and laughed, âTm Theon? Heâs Felix? Then whatâs your name?â
His response didnât seem to be a pretense; he clearly didnât remember.
âMy name is Nyx Voss. You can call me Nyx, Nyx answered softly.
She tried a few more times to test if they had forgotten everything about their human selves, feeling a bit anxious and melancholic.
Her mind swirled with thoughts, conjuring up various fairytale scenarios. She thought, âHow can I help them regain their memories? Would helping them remember be the testâs success? Would a kiss work? It wouldnât hurt to try!
Nyx wobbled over on her little legs and clambered onto Theon The lion didnât realize what she was trying to do and thought she was just playing, so he complied and lay down 3/4 JC, 4 Mar Chapter 280 35%%
The small lionessâ head was still smaller than the adolescent male lionâs. She opened her front paws and awkwardly hugged his big head, moving in 4/4
