Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 304

Though he said he was going on behalf of his daughter, the chieftain had his own reasons.

He watched Zayne grow up. He lost his parents at a young age, but he was smart and talented. The previous shaman took him in and trained him. But the shaman passed away in two years, leaving Zayne with a cursed reputation. People gossiped and looked down on him.

It wasn't until he proved himself with his abilities that the whispers died down. The tribe needed him, so they stopped speaking ill of him.

Later, his reputation spread far and wide. People from other tribes came seeking his medical skills, and his status rose, earning him respect everywhere.

But his early experiences made him reclusive. He was cautious and suspicious, always keeping to himself, never allowing anyone near his home. Even when the chieftain visited, he had to stand outside and call for him, only entering the cave with permission.

For such a unique male, it was no surprise that he disliked females and rejected their advances. On the contrary, it was shocking that he suddenly had a female he fancied and even brought her home.

Inside the cave, Nyx drank a bowl of meat soup Zayne had made, ate two pieces of roasted meat he prepared, and sat on his bed enjoying some fruit.

Zayne's cooking skills were mediocre, but the fruit was delicious. The blackberries were sweet and sour, more sour than sweet, but with a rich, natural flavor.

“Zayne, here.” She tasted one herself, then picked the prettiest berry and offered it to Zayne.

Zayne turned his head away.

Nyx was confused. Ever since they returned, Zayne had been acting strangely, his face cold and distant. He coldly washed the fruit for her. He coldly cooked the soup for her. He coldly served her the roasted meat.

Nyx withdrew her hand, deep in thought, ‘Is he upset because I kissed him?'

That made sense. Zayne didn't remember her now, so her actions must have seemed like those of a shameless woman.
