Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 226

Nyx had no idea when these guys had all come to an agreement. She couldn’t guess it right.

Zayne said, “Ten minutes. If you don’t guess correctly or give up, there’ll be a little punishment.”

With that announcement, Nyx tensed up, her toes curling in nervous anticipation.

She tried her hardest to focus, desperately wanting to know whose turn it was. But she just couldn’t figure it out.

Zayne announced, “Time’s up.”

Then came a fierce punishment. Luckily, the cubs had already been coaxed away to eat and weren’t lingering outside the bedroom. Otherwise, they’d be worried about Nyx all over again.

The second round of the game began.

Nyx really didn’t want failure again, but she had no sense of time. Panicked, she blurted out a name after just three minutes, “Jaws!”

Jaws chuckled and shook his head. “Nyx, you want it to be me that badly? That makes me really happy, but… unfortunately, you guessed wrong.”

“It’s me, Nyx.” Kian’s voice held a hint of barely concealed displeasure.

The consequence of a wrong answer needed no explanation.

Without giving Nyx any time to recover, the game continued.

She was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. She had lost count of how many rounds she had played–maybe the eighth or ninth–before she finally got one guess right by sheer luck.

Nyx let out a long sigh of relief. But she relaxed too soon. Just because the game had ended didn’t mean everything was

over.

When Nyx woke up, two fluffy little cubs were snuggled up on either side of her, while Chubby was angrily facing off against Jaws.

The moment he saw her open her eyes, Chubby immediately abandoned his father and rushed to her side with concern. “Mommy, did Daddies bully you?”

The tiny cub’s face was full of righteous indignation, his chubby fists clenched tightly.

Nyx’s mind went blank for a moment before an overwhelming sense of embarrassment washed over her. She propped herself up, pulled Chubby into her arms, and said, “Of course not. How could he?”
