Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 261

The vibe was somewhat heavy, and it didn’t feel right.

Noel’s sharp senses picked up on the oddness. He stopped in his tracks, cautiously observing for a while, his tail tucked between his legs and ears drooping.

“Noel Nyx’s sharp eyes spotted a little lump curled up in the corner, and the waved her hand. “Come to mommy”

She hugged Noel who came running towards her and noticed that his eyes were still filled with tears. Even after a night of sleep, his mood didn’t seem to have improved.

“What’s wrong?” Nyx wiped his tears. “You’ve already apologized. Mommy and daddy don’t blame you anymore”

They wouldn’t hold Noel’s mistake against him

Noel sniffled and nuzzled his head into Nyx’s embrace, carefully watching her face, and quietly asked, “Really?”

He thought. But mommy and daddy’s expressions seem so bad. Could it be that they are still upset with me?

The thought that Nyx might dislike him made Noel feel bad. He was on the verge of crying his heart out.

Nyx followed his gaze around the room and noticed that her mates indeed looked upset.

The air was thick with tension.

She thought. There’s rarely such a vibe in the house, no wonder the little one is scared.”

“Yes” Nyx gently patted Noel and hugged him, kissing his fluffy little face. “Mommy and daddy are upset, but it’s not because of you.”

Everyone was indeed frustrated by Noel’s lie, but when they found out he could transform back into his human form, they were all relieved and happy for him.

The vibe in the house, however, was heavy because Nyx had just received news from Seafarion that his grandfather was near death, and the doctor had given him about a month to live.

For more than half a year, Seafarion had been staying at Sea Race Stars, accompanying his grandfather.

Nyx had also visited several times, and each time, the situation seemed to have worsened.

The former clan leader had always been in good health, with no serious illnesses, but his bodily functions were now deteriorating. Unlike diseases, aging was irreversible and incurable. No matter how advanced technology or how much wealth one had, no one could truly fight against death.
