Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 158

Zayne carefully checked the folder first, making sure there were no dangerous items inside before opening it.

As he flipped through the documents, his expression grew darker and darker.

It was a record from an illegal laboratory.

The files were old, stained with dried blood, and slightly damaged, as if they had been salvaged from the ruins. They contained images and text documenting the lab’s daily operations–like scenes straight out of hell.

The lab’s primary research project had been attempting to artificially create high–grade females with S–level or above mental power.

As Zayne read on, a chill ran down his spine. He lifted his gaze to look at Nyx.

According to the records, no successful test subjects had ever been produced–but the documents were incomplete.

The thought that Nyx might be one of the lab’s experiments made Zayne’s hands tremble. He almost dropped the file as he rushed to find Felix and Theon.

Not only were Felix and Theon at home–Kai was there too. To welcome Nyx back, Aurelius and Seafarion had gathered as well. But there was also one unexpected guest.

Nyx chased after Zayne into the living room. As soon as she saw that broad back, her heart leaped with both surprise and joy. She ran up and hugged him tightly. “Pale Wolf!”

Pale Wolf stiffened instantly, his arms and legs frozen in place. He was unsure where to put them.

Pale Wolf said, “Lady Nyx, please mind your manners.”

The voice was familiar, but it no longer carried that hesitant, clumsy tone. Instead, it was clear and fluent.

Pale Wolf’s once warm and enthusiastic attitude toward Nyx had become distant and polite.

Nyx froze, her arms slowly loosening their grip in confusion.

After hesitating for a moment, Pale Wolf turned around. He bowed his head slightly. “Lady Nyx, I am Erik Read.”

“You got your memory back?” Nyx stared at him in shock.

Erik hesitated before nodding. His past memories had returned. He remembered who he was, but the time he spent on Desolate Planet had grown hazy–he had forgotten everything about Nyx.

Based on what Jorge and the people from Desolate Planet told him, he managed to piece together fragments of the past. But no matter how he looked at it, he couldn’t believe he had fallen in love with a female at first sight. And that female was none other than Aurelius‘ intended mate, Nyx.
