Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 296

Following the sound, Nyx saw Aman and the one with the floppy ears.

There was a fresh buffalo lying on the ground.

“This is for you, Nyx,” Aman said softly. “Thank you for saving me.”

The young male lion was no longer the messy sight he'd been when they'd first met.

Now, he stood tall, the morning sun shining on him, his fur glimmering healthily, and he exuded a wild, captivating charm.

Nyx couldn't help but look at him a little longer.

Even though she'd been a lion for two years, Nyx still thought of herself as Beastmen, and when it came to regular lions, she simply admired them without any other thoughts.

But Aman got excited when he noticed her lingering gaze. He thought, 'Is she interested in me, too?

One defining trait of a lion was its confidence. Young male lions, in particular, became especially restless as the rainy season approached, their minds clouded by surging hormones and wandering thoughts.

Their eyes met, and as Nyx felt the growing heat in its gaze, even she–no matter how slow-finally realized something was off.

She took a step back, glancing at Theon and Felix, who had followed her over. She thought, 'No way!

The two male lions were practically radiating jealousy and anger, glaring at Aman and the one with the floppy ears, like they were ready to tear their rival apart at any second.

Nyx rushed over to them, trying to calm things down before things exploded. She rubbed against them on the left, kissed them on the right, and moved her tail up and down their backs. Her efforts weren't in vain.

The desire to fight left the male lions' minds. They took turns hugging Nyx tightly and coldly glared at Aman and the one with the floppy ears, as if marking their territory.

The overwhelming pressure from the lion king was enough to make every lion tremble in fear.

Ordinary male lions wouldn't dare challenge a lion king for a mate, but Aman wasn't ordinary. Despite the pressure, he stood there, sweating, but he didn't back down.

Nyx spoke up, “No need to thank me. You can take the buffalo back. I don't accept it."

When she was human, Nyx would always think carefully and find a reason to turn someone down, but as a lion, it was simple. She could afford to be a bit more willful.
