Nyx Had to admit, when it came to their beast forms, she had a soft spot for them. But it wasn’t anything weird or pervert but just a simple, pure preference.

She really wasn’t a freak!

Theon’s eyes glazed over as he muttered, “But my Loss of Control Index dropped to 70, which means I must’ve gotten some kind of mental soothing/while I was out of control”

Except for Nyx, there couldn’t have been any other female to do that.

Before his mind could spiral further into that dark pit of paranoia, Nyx quickly pulled him back to reality.

“Your Loss of Control Index dropped?” Nyx grinned, genuinely pleased. “Guess my efforts weren’t for nothing, then.”

She pushed herself to get rid of some of that black mist on him. She even felt dizzy for a bit–probably drained all her mental energy, and had to take a long rest to recover.

She explained to Theon about the black mist she’d seen around him and how she managed to get rid of it. To back herself up, she even pulled out her latest health check results, which showed her mental fluctuations were currently at an A–level.

The idea of black mist sounded super mystical, but Theon didn’t doubt her for a second. He could feel the mental soothing she’d given him, and that realization finally eased his anxious heart.

A huge breath of relief left him, and for the first time in what felt like forever, he relaxed.

He owed her so much. If her mental soothing technique hadn’t been so effective, he probably would’ve lost it completely after the emotional rollercoaster he’d just gone through.

They both stood there, red–faced, exchanging awkward glances. Their eyes locked before both quickly looked away, as if they’d just been jolted by an electric shock.

After a moment, Theon shook himself out of the daze, forcing himself to act with a little more dignity. He still knelt, but he took Nyx’s hand gently and said, “Thank you, Nykie… for saving me.”

Nyx curled her fingers awkwardly and replied, “You’re my guardian, my family. Just don’t mention it.”

Theon looked up at her with such intense admiration that Nyx couldn’t help but feel her heart race.

The affection in his eyes hit her hard, and she felt a tight knot in her chest.

Before he could say anything else, she quickly withdrew her hand and blurted out, “If you ever don’t want to be my guardian anymore, we can just be friends. Friends don’t need to be so formal.”

Theon’s face fell, and he stared at her, a little stunned. “So… you’re rejecting me?”
