Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 185

Heps‘ beast form was a ferret. A tiny, slender creature, completely white–like an adorable little mouse.

Nyx was so overwhelmed by how cute Heps was that she could barely breathe.

As the situation took a turn for the worse, Zayne reacted quickly, grabbing the ferret off the ground to stop Nyx from reaching for it.

Although the ferret was young, it was already twelve years old—old enough to understand things and to be considered a potential rival for Nyx’s attention.

Zayne placed the ferret on the sofa, away from Nyx, and patted its head. “No need to be nervous.”

Despite his wariness, Zayne bore no malice toward the ferret. Instead, he even felt a certain kinship due to their similar backgrounds.

The ferret’s beady black eyes were fixed on Zayne, filled with gratitude and admiration.

Over the past few days on Central Planet, Heps had learned a lot about Nyx and, by extension, about her mates. Each of them was an awe–inspiring presence, but the one he admired most was undoubtedly Zayne.

They were both from Desolate Planet and both interested in alchemy, but Heps believed that Zayne was on a whole different level–far superior in every way.

“Lord Zayne, may I take you as my master?” Heps hesitated for a long time before finally voicing his request. “I want to learn alchemy from you.”

Heps was so nervous that his ferret body tensed, his voice barely above a whisper.

He felt shameless for asking. Just being saved by Nyx was already an incredible stroke of luck, yet here he was, daring to ask for more.

But opportunities like this didn’t come often. Having grown up on Desolate Planet, he knew better than anyone how to fight for what he wanted.

Zayne was caught off guard. After spending so much time with Nyx, he had softened considerably. Faced with those round, pleading eyes from Heps, he couldn’t bring himself to refuse. He nodded. “Alright.

“Focus on your studies. Come find me on weekends during your breaks, and I’ll teach you some things about alchemy.”

“Yes, Master.” The little ferret wiggled excitedly.
