Chapter 332
Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed
Chapter 332 The little rabbitâs fur bristled all over, turning into a round, fluffy ball.
Nyx followed the voice and saw a few young males hurrying toward them. âItâs really you guys?â
They stared at the wolf pack in astonishment, exclaiming nonstop.

To other races, beastmenâs beast forms looked almost identical, except for Zayne, whose snowâwhite fur made him easy to recognize.
From a distance, they had spotted the Snow Wolf and thought they were seeing things. They rubbed their eyes and doubted themselves.
But no matter how you looked at it, there wasnât a second Snow Wolf on the entire continent as massive and powerful as Zayne.
At least, they had never seen one. After discussing for a while, their curiosity got the better of them, and they decided to come closer for a better look.
âI never thought... weâd ever see you again.â The males shook their heads in disbelief.
The wolves exchanged glances, puzzled by their reaction.
âYour tribe got buried under the snow!â One of them blurted out without thinking.
âThe snow piled up this high-â He jumped up and gestured an alarming thickness, taller than himself. âYou know, our tribe has to pass through your territory on the way to the Grand Trade Market, but the whole area is still sealed in ice and snow.
âThereâs not a single living thing left. We couldnât get through and had to take a detour. We thought your whole tribe was wiped out, that you were all dead... Ouch!â
Before he could finish, his companion smacked him hard on the head.
âWhy did you hit me?â He clutched his head, looking wronged, still not realizing what he had done wrong.
âSorry,â the companion said with an awkward smile at the wolves. âHeâs a bit dumb and doesnât know how to talk properly.â
Even though they had all been thinking the same thing, they couldnât just blurt it out like that, as that was a surefire way to offend people.
The wolves had no time to argue with an idiot. They were all too shocked, standing frozen in place.
The Grand Trade Market and their former territory were in completely different directions. They hadnât passed by on their way here, so they had no idea what had happened there.
So, if they hadnât migrated back then, they would all be dead now.
It sounded harsh, but it wasnât a curseâit was reality. One wrong decision, and that could have been their fate.
Moria shuddered, a wave of fear washing over him. He turned to Nyx with eyes full of gratitude and admiration.
His father had told him that Nyx was the first to suggest migrating. Without her, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Moria thought, âShe must have been sent by the Beast God to save us!â
Suddenly, Nyx became the center of attention among the wolves. Even the males from the other tribe all turned to look at her.

Chapter 332 âWhoa!â The guy who just got smacked couldnât keep his mouth shut and yelped, âWhereâd this rabbit come from?â
âIs that your emergency food supply?â He directed the question at Zayne while staring at the little rabbit, unable to look away, He thought, âWhat breed is this? So tiny, pale yellow, and ridiculously cute!
He rubbed his hands together and reached out, wanting to touch its softâlooking fur. âCan you sell it to me? How much do you want? Or we can trade something else.â
âNot for sale.â Zayne stepped back with an irritated look, dodging his grabby hands.
âWhy not?â The male blinked, confused after his failed attempt. He had always liked cute little creatures and just wanted to take it home.
This Snow Wolf was infamous for being ruthless. There was no way he was keeping it just because it was adorable.
âEven though it looks round, itâs not actually fatâitâs just fluffy,â the male argued. âLook how tiny it is. Thereâs barely any meat on it. Youâre not short on food, so just sell it to me!â
He was being completely earnest, even offering a whole leg of lamb in exchange. That was a pretty generous deal, honestly kind of a dumb one.
His mates looked at him like he was an idiot.
Zayneâs face darkened further. âI. Said. Not. For. Sale.â His voice was iceâcold.
âAlright... fine. If youâre not selling, then forget it.â The guy knew he couldnât win against Zayne, so he gave up and shrank back in defeat. âIf youâre not selling it, can I at least touch it?â
âJust a little.â He reached out eagerly, but the moment he looked up and saw Zayneâs fierce expression, he stumbled back in fear, almost landing on his butt.
âSheâs my mate.â Zayne took a deep breath and let it slide, considering the guy had no idea.
But if it happened againâif anyone dared to offend Nyxâheâd challenge them to a fight and tear them to shreds.
The other males were completely stunned. Silence filled the air.
The one who had boldly claimed heâd buy the little rabbit swallowed hard, struggling to believe what heâd just heard.
Snow Wolf Zayne was a renowned Great Shaman, the dream mate of countless females.
Yet, for all these years, whether it was Lila and Gina from the Wolf Tribe, who had the advantage of being nearby, or the many delicate beauties who had âaccidentallyâ run into him at the Grand Trade Market, none had ever caught his eye.
Everyone had pretty much assumed he was some kind of weirdo who wasnât interested in females and would spend his life alone. But now, he was saying he had a mate.
For a moment, the air felt like it had frozen solid.
âYouâre joking, right?â the male laughed.
