Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 86

The door to Zayne’s bedroom was tightly shut, and no sounds could be heard from inside.

What is Nyx doing in there? Countless speculations flooded his mind, and Aurelius recalled the whispers of the bystanders.

They said Nyx liked Zayne more. Today, Zayne got hurt for Nyx, so it was only natural for her to favor him a bit more.

But to Aurelius, a fellow male, Zayne’s injury was actually insignificant, and it didn’t seem like it warranted Nyx acting as if she had eyes only for him.

From start to finish, Aurelius had been left aside. And this wasn’t the first time Zayne had taken Nyx away from him–just like at the court ball.

Aurelius’s hand holding the cup trembled slightly, and hot water spilled onto his hand, but he seemed unaware, lost in his chaotic thoughts.

Nyx had slept in Zayne’s bedroom for the whole afternoon. Zayne greedily enjoyed this rare happiness, his g Nyx’s adorable and innocent sleeping face.

When evening came, Nyx rubbed her eyes and slowly sat up, feeling something hard and springy beneath her, as though she was sitting on solid muscle, and she shivered, quickly scrambling away as if she had been burned.

hue spread from her cheeks down to her neck, and she couldn’t speak, feeling utterly embarrassed. She had not only fallen asleep but had shamelessly pressed herself against Zayne’s injury.

“Is the wound okay?” she stuttered as she tried to pull at his collar, checking Zayne’s injury, worried that she had hurt him.

Zayne’s gaze was deep as he moved his shoulder. “It’s fine.” He stood up and walked towards the bathroom, and Nyx instinctively started to follow him, only to realize what he was about to do. She froze, her ears turning even redder, almost as if they were bleeding.

It seemed she wasn’t suited to taking care of someone with an injury. She couldn’t help with this kind of thing. Taking advantage of Zayne being occupied with his personal matters, Nyx slipped out of his room.

Theon and Felix were preparing dinner. Seeing Nyx emerge from Zayne’s bedroom with a flushed face and messy hair, Felix paused. Theon showed a surprised expression.
