Chapter 441
Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed
Chapter 441 Chapter 441 Her confidence threw the agent off. Honestly, the gossip was so out there it barely seemed credite After mulling it over, he calmed down but stayed cautious. âStop the bots quickâsheâs still Seafarione Trash talk was normal in the biz, and some troll attacks were small fry, but if Nyx got mad and sicced Seatation on them, it would be troublesome.
Her initial fire cooled, regret creeping in as her eyes flickered. âFine, got it.â
She opened her phone to call the troll company, then froze, her face paling visibly.
âWhatâs wrong?â the agent asked, his chest tightening too.
She didnât answer, staring at her screen, muttering in disbelief, âHow? Just one morning, So fast?â
In mere hours, the troll ring got flipped upside down, exposed, and pinned to the wall by official posts, [Cracking Down on bots, Protecting a Clean Web]
[Beware the Legal Risks of âbotsâ-Stay Lawful, Donât Cross the Line for Petty Cash!]
[Cut Off the Gray Market, Restore Industry Integrity]
Every troll outfit sheâd hired got nabbed as examples, old crimes dug up tooâenough to sink them deep. The web cheered [About time they nailed these botsâlawless jerks.]
[Knew they were full of it, blind hateâpaid off!]
[Lol, unmasked so quick.]
Worse, leaks pointed at herâpeople cursed her name, claiming she hired them. Nyxâs fans, fuming from the morningâs fights, were out for blood.
Watching her follower count plummet, her heart sank. Even her own fans turned, ashamed theyâd backed her, calling it a stain like a rap sheet.
âThis is your âno big deal?â the agent said after a long pause, chuckling dryly. âPack up and lay lowâditch the spotlight,â he added, wiping his face and walking out fast, not looking back.
He had to cut ties quick or get dragged down too. He wasnât even sure if heâd dodged the big shotsâ hit list.
Morning work wrapped up, and Nyx ate lunch between her two partners as the head producer apologized, wringing his hands.
Thatâs when she learned the hater was Breaking Chainsâ lead actress, leaving her speechless.
âDidnât she quit the show herself? Whyâs she acting like I stole it, all bitter?â she thought.
The producer gritted his teeth. âShe flaked on me, and I knew she was shady thenâdidnât think sheâd be this low!â
âNot just lowâplain dumb. She messed with the wrong person, he thought. He glanced up at the two big shots flanking Nyx, swallowing hard, eyes darting. âMessing with Nyx is basically suicide.â
Nyx missed his look, checking her phone to see Marilynâs posts urging fans to keep the web civil and not take revenge offline.

Eye for an eye was fair, but moderation matteredâviolence wasnât cool in a civilized world. With the star speaking, fans followed, calming down.
[Got it! I donât curse!]
[Gonna be a good little fan, no trouble for Nyx!]
[Sisters! Pull back!]
Seeing this, Nyx relaxed, a faint smile forming. Scrolling further, she hit a fanfic tagged [SeaXNyx], [Cowgirl], and her smile froze.
Both males caught her shift, leaning in to see. Nyx tried to hide the screen, but their sharp eyes won.
âNyx,â Seafarion said, clueless about [Cowgirl] but catching [SeaXNyx].
âIs this from our shippers?â he asked, using âshippersâ heâd just learned, shy yet excited. âCan we read it together?â
Nyx stared at him, silent. âDonât be so eager, please?â she begged internally. His ethereal, otherworldly face clashed weirdly with this. Reading this in public felt so wrong. Even in private, she never had the fetish of reading her own fanfiction.
She opened her mouth to refuse, but Kai cut in, bristling. âWhy him?â
He refused to believe Seafarion outshone him with Nyx, pulling up a slew of [KaiXNyx] fanfics, clicking the top one smugly. âLetâs read this.â
Nyx glanced down-[Forced], [Coercion], [Enter at Risk]-and blacked out momentarily.
âNo way!â she yelped, one hand on the screen, the other over Kaiâs eyes, stretched thin.
âWhy not?â the stubborn leopard pressed for a reason.
Nyx clammed up, scared heâd get ideas, pinching his ear instead. They bickered all noon, and before afternoon work, Nyx warned them sternly. âNo looking, got it?â
Sheâd never read fanworks, but sheâd heard how wild fans could get. Seafarion nodded meekly, and Kai agreed too. But her nervous, blushing fuss only stoked their curiosityââWhatâs in there?â they wondered.
After wrestling with it, they chose to sneak a peek behind her back. At the setâs logistics area, staff buzzed around, spotting the two big shots rush out, flustered, and not return for ages.
âWhatâs up? Another incident?â they thought. They checked phonesâno new drama; the morningâs haters were cleaned up, no more trouble brewing. âNot Nyxârelatedâmaybe work stuff?â
Big shot business bored them, too complex to care about, so they forgot it fast.
When Nyx finished afternoon work and packed up, Seafarion and Kai had recomposed themselves, looking calm, no cracks .showing.
âCome to my place tonight,â Kai suggested. âThe mountain berries are ripe.â
Nyx perked up. âSure!â
No shoot tonight, early eveningâperfect for some mountain air and fun. She glanced at Seafarion, who nodded, joining in.
Itâd been a while since an outdoor trip, so Nyx played till dark, picking a basket of colorful berries. The fruits were tiny but fresh and natural, washed to a sparkleâshe grabbed other fruits from the fridge, tossing an orange playfully, then noticed Seafarion blush hard.
20 Ma 88%1 Chapter 441 Nyx tilted her head at him. Under her stare, his cool facade cracked fast. Memories clickedâNyxâs eyes widened, gasping, âDid you sneak a peek at fanfiction?â
âSorry, Nyx,â Seafarion mumbled, head down, confessing. âShould I, uh, clean up all that fanfiction?â
If it was just Nyx being fantasized about, heâd be mad, but he was in it too. The versions of them werenât real, yet used their names, all wild and weird, stirring odd feelings.
âHas Nyx read this stuff?â he wondered.
âForget it,â Nyx said, rubbing her temples. âLet them be.â
Seafarion could wipe the web clean if he wantedâshe knew he could. It creeped her out, but no need to kill their harmless fun;
they werenât hurting anyone, just creating in their corner. Or so she thought.
Past midnight, Nyx wanted to take it all back. âWhat did these two learn?â she thought.
As if reading her, Kai leaned in, nipping her ear for earlier, whispering some tags slowly. And moreâthey could try them one by one.
Nyx nearly cried. She thought, âGive me back my sweet, innocent partners! Fanfictionâs a curse!â
For the final show, the crew switched to a huge venue, thousands of fans belowâNyx scanned the crowd, spotting sly shipping signs, her resentment bubbling up.
Fans thought she was upset over the smear campaign, yelling âNyx!â and âLove you!â to cheer her up.
The cheers roared louderâNyx shook off the grumpiness, a warm smile softening her eyes. The camera caught it, a highlight moment, kicking off the finale with a bang, ending perfectly.
A newbie actor blew up via the showâpeople wondered if Nyx would pivot to singing. Then, after years of silence, global action director Jouste announced a new film with Nyx cast, sparking a domestic frenzy.
[Jouste? Holy-!]
[In my lifetime?]
[A local actor in it? Nyx? Whoâs that?]
Unlike rookie Nyx, Jouste was a household name across ages. Folks outside the entertainment loop, clueless about Nyx, dug into this woman working with Jouste, finding she was a total newbie.
Sure, she had killer looks, solid acting, and stunts in Breaking Chains, plus mad skills on the showâbut she was so young. And there were whispers of a backer.
âDid her sugar daddy hand her this global gig?â some Jousteâs fans thought. They doubted her ability, worried sheâd flop worldwide. Her role wasnât smallâscrew it up, and itâd shame more than just her; the whole country would feel it.
After a dayâs shoot, Nyx walked her leopard in the wilds, returning to find Seafarion at the computer. She peeked- entertainment threads, not work.
âNyx?â Seafarion jumped, almost hiding the screen, then gave up. âSomeone posted that if your role gets over half good reviews, heâll eat-â
Nyx clapped a hand over his mouth before the crude bit slipped out.
He lowered his eyes, kissing her palm. âI boosted the post a bitâtons of people screenshotted it for proof.â Once the film hit, that guy couldnât dodge it.

Nyx looked closerâthe post had millions of views, rocketing to top trend, the poster panicking, deleting old personal flexes.
Iâm getting way too much attention now,â she thought.
Since filming began, naysayers aboundedâSeafarion and Kai disliked it but let it ride, waiting for the movie to prove itself. This was their first pushback.
Nyx scrolled the guyâs history, seeing why Seafarion targeted him. Thousands of posts, daily attacks on her. No grudge, yet he hated her guts. Not just herâother actresses got trashed and twisted too.
A gutter rat behind a screen, now exposed and freaking out. Nyx shook her head, not stopping Seafarion. Nailing this creep quieted similar types, clearing the air. Leftover doubts turned rational, reasonable.
The trailer dropped, flipping skeptics to hype.
[AHHHHHHHHHH!]
[Fights are insane!]
[Thatâs the vibe!]
[Jouste nails itâheâs still got the charm and detail.]
[Actors crushed it too.]
[So youngâthis is incredible!]
A few trailer clips sparked excitement, crushing doubts. Jouste even did an interview, saying without Nyx, the film mightâve been delayed for years.
Word of Sherilynâs sabotage spread, and fans pitied Nyx, who was handâpicked by Jouste, auditioned, and targeted.
At the wrap party, Nyx toasted Jouste in thanks.
âHahaha! No need!â Jouste beamed, winking jokingly. âToo bad no collab with Mr. Kai this timeânext chance, Iâll set you two up as lovers!â
This script was fixedâNyxâs role had no romance, unchangeable.
Nyx chuckled, downing her sparkling wine. It was the weakest drink there, basically juice, but her tolerance suckedâsoon her cheeks glowed red.
Feeling woozy, she rubbed her forehead, deciding to dip early, calling her partners for a ride while heading out.
Someone shouted, âNyx!â
Nyx stopped, turning to see the filmâs villain. Vincent played a bad guy but was cheery in personânow drunk, face flushed. âNyx, I like you!â
Nyxâs buzz vanished. She was stunned. A tall figure slipped in from outside, silently behind her, green eyes coldly fixed on Vincent, saying nothing.
