Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 15

In this era, true believers were few and far between. But the myths and beliefs from ancient times still lingered, and sometimes people would casually say things to Beast God as a way to express surprise or offer a blessing.

A small group, though, still sincerely followed the faith. They believed the old stories that the Beast God occasionally sent messengers to help the beastmen through their toughest times.

The store owner was one of those believers. He was over 300 years old, middle–aged by beastmen standards, and yet he’d never seen a miracle in his long life. But today, he was witnessing one right before his eyes.

Zayne, being an atheist, couldn’t understand what the store owner was thinking, but he did agree on one thing: Nyx was a miracle like no other in the universe.

The store owner’s dramatic actions stirred the crowd. People were already in awe of Nyx, and now they were becoming outright obsessed. More and more eyes were following her, some filled with fervent admiration.

Nyx, on the other hand, felt the weight of all those eyes on her and instantly felt uncomfortable. She wasn’t one to enjoy the spotlight, yet ever since arriving in this new world, she seemed to be the center of attention at every turn.

Luckily, clerks from the Supervision Office finally arrived. They cleared the crowd and let Nyx breathe a little easier.

But as the armed personnel moved in, the black mamba grew tense again. The snake bared its fangs and adopted an aggressive posture, ready to strike anyone who came too close with its deadly venom.

The clerks, experienced with dealing with out–of–control males like this, knew just how dangerous the black mamba could be. Even with all their weapons, they didn’t dare make a move recklessly.

After all, they’d lost more than a few people in past encounters with these beasts, and injuries were almost a given.

They were strategizing when, to everyone’s shock, Nyx raised her hand, forced the black mamba’s mouth shut, and warned, “Behave yourself.”

Then, as if talking to a kid, she added, “I don’t like it when you bite. Biting’s bad. You know?”

Whether the snake understood or not was up for debate, but it didn’t show its fangs again. Instead, it followed Nyx as she gently led it to the officers.

“Good boy,” Nyx praised in a sweet voice.

The snake flicked its tongue, which was an obvious sign of contentment.

Its eyes fixed solely on Nyx. All the armed personnel standing nearby, tense and ready for anything, seemed to fade into the background.

Nyx was worried that the moment she left, the snake might resist being taken away, so she quickly came up with a plan. She grabbed the yellow shirt the snake had been wrapped around like a prized possession, tied the sleeves in a knot, and looped it around the mamba’s body.

The black mamba seemed to love it. It wasn’t a living creature, but the shirt carried Nyx’s scent, and the warmth and softness were like the next best thing.
