Chapter 284
Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed
Chapter 284 New was a tiny little ends, and she Â¥:35%ç Nyx was a tiny little cul, and she was abreads thinking about hiniling her mates. It should have veninded ridiculous, but for friting sounded some reason, the two males felt their hearts promiling wildly After a long silence, they tried to ignore that strange feeling and shook their heads. âYouâre still too young to be thinking about finding a mate Or rather, they thought she shouldnât be thinking about it Lioneses had very limited choices when it came to matei They typically didnât have the opportunity to choose the male lions they preferred Instead, they remained in the pride. passively waiting for the male leaders to change. Throughout their lifetime, they may have had multiple mates, but they couldnât anticipate staying with one of them permanently Thinking about this, the two male lions couldnât help but feel irritated and frowned, âWhen you grow up, if you still want to stay with us, you can remain in our pride.
They would give her the right to choose, and they would do their best to live long lives, protecting her always, âTride!â Nyx was stunned. âAre you two going to become the leaders of a pride?â
She thought the three of them would continue living like this until the trial was over. But she had forgotten that Theon and Felix were now beasts with no memory of their past.
Their instincts as male hons would drive them to light, claim larger territories, and sire more offspring.
And right now, she was just a little cub, with no reason to stop any of that from happening.
âOf courseâ Theon said confidently. âWeâre going to defeat the male lions of the Great Valley Pride and become their leaden.
As everyone knew, the Great Valley was the most fertile territory on the savannah, filled with abundant prey. Every young male lion saw it as a goal, but only the strongest lion king could conquer the Great Valley Pride.
Theon and Felix were confident about this. But when they looked down, they didnât see joy on the lionessâ face.
Instead, she hung her head, looking a little down âWhatâs wrong, Nyx Theon didnât understand.
They were going to claim the best territory and catch the best prey for her. They thought, âBut why isnât she happy?â
Felix, trying to understand her feelings, thought she might be worried they would leave her behind to go fight for territory. He reassured her. âWe wonât challenge the lion king right away. Weâll wait until weâre adults.â
By the time they were adults, Nyx would also be a subâadult, with some survival skills, and wouldnât feel as insecure as she did now Nyx didnât say anything. Conquering a pride was one thing, but having cubs with other lionesses was a whole different problem for her.
Still, it was too early to worry about that. They still had some time before they reached adulthood.
She thought, âMaybe before I could even think of a way to stop them, Theon and Felix would change their minds on their own.
1/4 Tue, 4 Mar Chapter 284 Trusting her mates, Nyx quickly adjusted her mood.
The question of who Theon and Felix really were came to an end The thought that the lioness could belong to them forever made the two males even more motivated to hunt. They tirelessly went out to hunt every day, bringing back all kinds of food for Nyx.
35 Even though they had lost their memories, their strength was ingrained in their bones. Even as subâadults, they never failed in the hunts There wasnât another lion cubs on the entire savannah living as comfortably as Nyx Even the cubs in the Great Valley Pride couldnât guarantee fresh prey every day, but Nyx never ate leftover meat or went hungry The two males spoiled her to no end, sometimes feeding her twice a day and even catching her midnight snacks.
In just two or three months, Nyx had ballooned in size.
Seeing this glossy, chubby lioness, the other animals could hardly believe she had been raised by two male lions. It was truly unbelievable.
The strange story spread far and wide, reaching at least the animals living nearby.
The two brothers, with their black and golden manes, who were seen as future lion kings, had picked up a little cub from the fleeing Red Mountain Pride and had since become obsessed with raising her, no longer engaging in fierce battles with other males It was a disgrate to the pride of male lions.
Gradually, other rogue males began to challenge them.
The first time Nyx saw her mates fighting other males, she was terrified. But after seeing it a few times, she grew calmer.
Theon and Felix fought off every challenger, whether they came alone or in groups, proving why they were considered future lion kings The rogue males came with confidence but left in defeat.
They should be thankful Theon and Felix werenât bloodthirsty, or they would have lost their lives, becoming stepping stones for the future lion kingsâ fame.
After dealing with a few waves of challengers, life returned to peace.
Nyx lived under the protection of the two males, spending her days eating, drinking, playing, and sleeping without a care in the world Sometimes, she felt like this trial was like a special vacation, similar to the holographic games she had played before, but with a stronger sense of reality.
The males had gone hunting again, and Nyx stayed behind to wait.
Spotting a patch of flowers in the grass, she picked two and happily held them in her mouth, planning to give them to her mates when they returned.
But when she looked up, she was startled and took a few steps back. An adult lioness was standing silently nearby, staring straight at her.
The flowers fell to the ground as Nyx darted into the bushes.
2/4 35%A Chapter 284 âWhy are you running the lioness asked, sounding confused. âDonât you recognize your mother?â.
Nyx suddenly realized the lioness did look familiar.
She crept out of the bushes and looked up at the lioness, confirming that she was indeed like her mother. âWhy are you here.
Mon Ahbough this was near the Red Mountain Prideâs territory, lionesses usually didnât leave the pride alone.
13 âI came to see youâ the lioness said with a complicated look. Theard you were adopted by two subâadult males. I wanted to wee if it was true Only after seeing it with her own eves could she believe it After the tragedy that day, she never thought sheâll see her cub alive again, let alone being raised to wellâbetter than she could have done herself.
âItâs trueâ Nyx nodded. âTheyâve gone hunting now âIsnât it dangerous for you to leave the pride alone, Momâ Nyx moved closer and nuzzled the lioness.
She liked this mother. It her mother hadnât risked her life to hold off the male lion that day, she wouldnât have escaped.
âItâs fine,â the lioness said gently, nuzzling her back. âBlack Scar is busy fighting. He wonât notice.â
Black Scar was the new male leader of the Red Mountain Pride. Nyx had mixed feelings about him. He had killed her siblings and forced her to flee, so of course she hated him. But rationally, she knew it was just the nature of lions.
When a new male takes over a pride, he kills the previous leaderâs cubs to encourage the lionesses to mate again.
âYour aunts are already pregnant with Black Scarâs cubs, the lioness said calmly. âHeâs been patrolling the territory a lot lately.
âThose two subâadult males have been hunting in our territory. Black Scar feels challenged and has been fighting them âThis isnât the first time, and Black Scar hasnât won once,â the lioness said with a sigh. âThankfully, they only fight him and donât kill him.â
The pride couldnât handle another leadership change so soon, especially since the lionesses were already pregnant again.
Nyx gave an awkward smile. She wasnât sure if her mates were doing it on purpose.
They had entered the Red Mountain Prideâs territory multiple times just to hunt better prey, but possibly also to teach Black Scar a lesson for her sake.
Nyx suspected her mother had come to complain about them.
She said seriously, âIâll talk to them and make them tone it down.â
âWhat?â The lioness was shocked. âHow dare you try to control them? Listen, donât defy them. You need to keep them happy.
âTheyâre male lions. No matter how good they are to you now, they could kill you in a moment of anger. The lioness looked at her naïve cub with worry and sadness.
She knew that male lions had no maternal instincts. Raising a cub was just a whim for them. âThey wonât willingly raise you.
foreverâ
