Nyx nodded. Remembering that Zayne seemed more reserved now, she transformed into her beast form. A small, milk- colored rabbit emerged from under the clothes, her round eyes full of expectation.

Zayne was so stunned he almost forgot to breathe. After a long silence, he managed to maintain his composure and firmly refused. “No.”

Originally, he hadn't planned to move Nyx to this smaller cave so soon. But seeing her eagerly eyeing his herbs, he couldn't let her stay in the larger cave where he stored his medicinal plants.

What if her goal is to steal the herbs? Once she gets what she wants, will she run away?' he thought. Zayne's expression darkened. He would make sure she never succeeded.

Nyx tilted her head, watching Zayne's changing expressions, and scratched her cheek with a paw in confusion. “Can I really not sleep with you?" she asked softly. "I'm scared living alone."

She was making an excuse to stay close to Zayne, but she was also genuinely a little scared.

Although the Beastmen lived in a tribe, their homes were spread out. Once night fell, the cave would be eerily quiet, and outside would be pitch black with no one in sight.

When he looked at the pitiful little rabbit, Zayne's resolve wavered. He pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to suppress his softening heart. "Don't worry, it's safe here. There's nothing to be afraid of."

As soon as he finished speaking, the little rabbit, rejected again, burst into tears.

Zayne panicked. His mind went blank, and without thinking, he rushed over, scooping Nyx into his arms and gently stroking her fur. "There now."

"I'll do as you say.” He abandoned his principles. "I'll do whatever you want."

All his resolve crumbled. He sat on the bed, placing the little rabbit on his lap, and spoke in a near-pleading tone, "I'll stay here with you, okay?"

This wasn't the first time Zayne had seen a female cry. But it was the first time he felt his heart ache.
