Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 208

“Hah?” Archie let out a sneer, cutting off Vella’s wish list. “What kind of dream are you living in?”

He gave Vella a once–over, full of disdain. “Who are you calling ‘sis? Dear sister isn’t yours—she’s my sister”

In front of the imposing Archie, Yella shrank back a little but still tried to argue, “What nonsense! She grew up in our house, of course she’s my sister”

It was the first time in years that Yella had called Nyx “sis” Before this, he had always called Nyx by her name, never treating her as family. But now that he needed something, he suddenly started acting like a good brother.

His home had been flooded, and he had been living in a temporary shelter ever since. While there was food and water, life was still tough.

The basic supplies weren’t enough to keep him full. If he wanted to eat more, he had to work for it. He didn’t want to work, as work was just too exhausting.

Nyx lived in such a nice place–surely, she had enough room for one more. He wasn’t even asking to move in, just for some food and drink. So Yella thought his request was reasonable.

With no shame whatsoever, Yella insisted, “No matter what, you ate our family’s food for years. I’m just asking for a little something to cat–is that really too much?”

He could feel Erik and Theon staring at him like he was already a dead man, and his legs trembled uncontrollably in fear.

He thought, ‘It’s okay. These two men dote on Nyx. As long as she is willing, everything could be negotiated!

Yella thus comforted himself, mustering up some courage and pinning his hopes on Nyx. He looked at her expectantly, only to see that her expression was ice–cold.

Nyx

had never seen Yella in such a miserable state.

In just a short time, he had turned paler and thinner, his unkempt hair sticking to his face in greasy clumps as if it hadn’t been washed in ages. His clothes were covered in stains, completely devoid of his former arrogance.

He looked pitiful–but Nyx thought he wasn’t worthy of pity.

Nyx withdrew her gaze and spoke indifferently, “I’ve more than paid for all the meals I’ve had at your house with my wages over the years. But the bullying I endured from your family? I don’t think I’ve returned that yet. Want me to do the math for you?

“That guy Fabian came looking for trouble with me before. I heard you had something to do with that?”

She hadn’t even gone after him, yet he had the nerve to show up on his own.

Yella hadn’t expected her to know everything. Panic instantly set in.

He watched in horror as Nyx’s two mates clenched their fists. Their knuckles cracked ominously as they stepped toward

him.

“No!” Yella shook his head frantically, stumbling backward. His legs gave out, and he tripped over himself, rolling on the ground as he scrambled away. “It wasn’t me.”

Only now did Yella realize how foolish he had been. The world outside was in chaos. If he died here, no one would even know it.

“I don’t want anything anymore. Just don’t kill me,” He shouted desperately, trying to attract the attention of anyone nearby
