Chapter 290
Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed
Chapter 290 Seeing the lionesses standing by the kill without touching it. Nyx felt a little helpless.
Animalsâ minds were simple and stubborn, and it was hard to change their way of thinking, Luckily, Theon and Felix, knowing she was hungry, came back really quickly.
They were carrying an impala, and with practiced case, they tore it apart and fed her the tender, nutritious parts. âWe couldnât find any cattle nearby, so weâll eat impala for now. Weâll go further out later and get you some buffaloâ
They were supposed to hunt buffalo, but they ended up with an impala instead. The two male lions felt a little guilty.
They wanted to make sure Nyx was wellâfed, but they werenât familiar with this territory yet, and they were worried about coming back too late and making her suffer from hunger. So, after some thought, they decided to grab whatever they could close by Nyx was definitely hungry. Living with Theon and Felix, she hadnât felt this kind of hunger for a long time.
She devoured the meat in a hurry, and finally, she felt like she was alive again. Her stomach felt much better.
She nuzzled the necks of the male lions. âYou guys should eat too; stop just feeding me.â
Even though she was used to being fed, she wasnât a cub anymore and could eat on her own.
The feeling of hunger was no fun, and she remembered her mates were probably hungry too, so she urged them to eat together.
As she urged them, she thought of the lionesses in the Great Valley waiting for Theon and Felix to come back and start the meal.
She quickly looked up to check.
The lionesses were standing still, completely stunned. Even the youngest and hungriest lioness had stopped making noise.
forgetting about the zebra and standing there in a daze. Everything in front of them seemed like an unbelievable illusion.
The gossip about Nyx, Theon, and Felix had been spreading across the plains. The lionesses had heard about it, but they had.
dismissed it as nonsense and laughed it off. But now, seeing it with their own eyes, they still couldnât believe it was real.
They thought, âMale lions hunting and letting the lionesses eat first!
Yaya was so shocked, she couldnât say anything. She had thought this lioness was just fooling her.
Nyx didnât understand why they were frozen, thinking they wanted to eat the wildebeest. She thoughtfully tore off a chunk of meat and asked, âDo you want some?â
They were going to be living here for a while, and these lionesses were their closest neighbors. She should try to get along with them.
ty more than that would be too much.
Giving them a small piece of meat was no big deal, but any Theon and Felix ate a lot, and Nyx didnât want to cut back on their food just to make nice.
When she hunted later, she could send any extra prey to these lionesses as a gift.
Yaya snapped out of it, looking at the piece of meat Nyx tore off. She hesitated, not daring to take it.
She carefully watched the male lionsâ reactions and realized they werenât angry at all, as if they didnât mind Nyx casually sharing their catch.
1/3 Mar Chapter 290 After hesitating for a while, she gathered her courage and took the wildebeest meat, and then tore off a piece of zebra meat and exchanged it with Nyx.
This way, they both benefited and strengthened their bond.
âYou can eat now,â Yaya called to the other lionesses to start their meal.
After waiting for so long, she finally understood. These three werenât normal lions, and their relationship wasnât the usual one between male and lioneses.
At least so far, their new lion king had no interest in them and just wanted to stay with this lioness called Nyx.
It was unclear if things would change when the rainy season came.
The migration was a success, and everything was settled.
Nyx and her mates temporarily settled in the Great Valley. They were still living the same life as before.
Every day. they hunted together, and when they slept, the two male lions would cuddle up tightly to Nyx, sandwiching her between them.
The lionesses in the Great Valley observed for a few days, saw they werenât going to eat with them, and began hunting and eating on their own, occasionally exchanging gifts with Nyx.
They didnât have to feed the male lions, and the territory was safe with strong male lions guarding it.
This sense of security was even better than the lionesses had imagined.
Compared to when the old lion king was around, their lives had become much more relaxed.
During the dry season, countless herbivores gathered at this oasis, and the prey was more abundant than ever. Hunting became easier too.
Carnivores gradually migrated here as well.
Outside was noisy, but within the Great Valley lioness territory, it was very quiet.
With Theon and Felix guarding the area, no one dared to cause trouble, but outside, fights broke out almost every moment.
Nyx lay on a big rock, observing the surroundings. She saw a cheetahâs kill being snatched away by lions, but the cheetah dared not protest.
On the other side, seven or eight rogue male lions fought over prey, and the scene was chaotic. Nyx also saw the Red Mountain Pride.
Nyx blinked, stunned. She thought the Red Mountain Pride hadnât migrated, but it turned out they had come as well.
The journey had been too tough. The lionesses from the Red Mountain Pride had barely managed to avoid casualties, but they had lost two of the eight cubs. Even Black Scar, the male lion, looked terribly skinny, and all the lions seemed weak and exhausted.
When they reached this oasis, they ran into the Great Valley Pride returning from a hunt, and they looked even more miserable next to the strong, energetic lionesses from the Great Valley.
The little lions, unable to resist their hunger, stared wideâeyed at the scent of meat. Even the adult female and male lions.
couldnât help but fix their gaze on the returning lion pride from the Great Valley, their eyes following them the whole way.
2/3 Tue, 4 Mar Chapter 290 âNyx, this oneâs for you, Yaya said, holding a small antelope in her mouth.
This was an extra piece of loot from today, a return gift for the small wild boar Nyx had given them last time.

+123 Lately. Nyx and the others had been exchanging gifts like this, and their relationship had become much closer. But the male lions still didnât participate in their socializing and remained as aloof as ever.
When Nyx returned to the male lionsâ side, they immediately became attentive, cuddling her and licking her fur. âWeâll go hunt a big antelope for you later.â
Not only were the male lions jealous, but Theon and Felix were also jealous of the lioneses. They worried that if Nyx got too close to the females, she might abandon them to hunt and sleep with them instead.
Feeling the pressure, the two male lions cling tightly to Nyx, acting all clingy and needy.
Watching this scene, the lions from the Red Mountain Pride froze in place. They thought, âIsnât that the territory of the Great Valley Pride? Why is Nyx there? The lioneses from the Great Valley Pride are so friendly with her.
As they were lost in thought, Nyx had already walked over with the small antelope and called out to the females, âMom, Auntie.â
âDrink some water and eat something,â she said generously, sharing the small antelope with them.
A single small antelope wasnât enough to fill the hungry pride, but it would help them regain some strength and increase their chances of a successful hunt.
The females didnât refuse, but after eating a little, they stopped. They felt too embarrassed to finish it all.
âEat up: itâs fine,â Nyx said, not bothered by the food. âTheon and Felix will go hunt antelopes for me later.â
The lioneses looked up at her, unsure of how to respond.
She had joined their pride, but now she was still being cared for by the male lions. They werenât just any wandering males anymore; they were the kings of this territory.
They were still willing to hunt for Nyx, and that was fine. But the lioneses were worried. They thought, âWhat if, when the breeding season comes, and those two male lions have cubs of their own, Nyxâs position would fall?
