Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 312

His little secret was exposed, and Moria shuddered, quickly denying, "I don't like her. She's the mate of Shaman❞

“So what?” Lila gave him a scornful look. "If you like her, go pursue her and compete with Shaman

In their tribe, the relationships between mates weren't set in stone. If two people were close, they stayed together; if not, they would separate.

"While they don't have cubs yet, you still have time to pursue her,” Lila whispered, encouraging her brother. Once they had cubs, it would not be so easy to break up. Moria looked conflicted, seemingly moved by the idea.

Nearby, the chieftain, who overheard the entire conversation between the siblings, couldn't help but laugh and shake his head, understanding what his daughter was trying to do.

If her brother successfully won Nyx over, then she'd have another chance with Shaman.

The chieftain, an outside observer, could clearly see that the chances of success for the siblings were slim, but he didn't want to discourage them.

He figured that once they had tasted the bitterness of failure, they'd give up on their own without him needing to say anything.

As dusk fell, most of the tribe's members were too excited about learning a new craft to sleep soundly. Nyx, however, slept soundly and deeply.

The small rabbit lay on its back with its little belly exposed, radiating an irresistibly cute vibe. Zayne couldn't help but keep watching her, extending his hand to gently rub her body a couple of times, a worried look on his face.

Whether it was his imagination or not, he couldn't shake the feeling that the little rabbit had gotten thinner over the past couple of days. Her appetite had been normal on the first day, but it had gradually decreased since.

'Is it because the food I make doesn't suit her taste?' he thought.

Beastmen and wild animals had different eating habits. In any tribe, meat was the best food, even in herbivorous tribes. Meat filled the stomach better than wild vegetables and fruits and gave more strength.

But despite his efforts to feed the little rabbit meat, she seemed uninterested, preferring to eat the herbs instead.

Zayne thought about it for a while, pacing in the cave. Finally, unable to hold back, he grabbed a bamboo basket and, under the moonlight, headed out.

Nyx slept until almost noon before stretching lazily and slowly getting up.

The sunlight had already lit up the cave. The pleasant scent of fresh grass and sweet fruit mingled in the air. The wonderful smell filled the entire cave. The tempting scent was irresistible to the little rabbit.

Nyx couldn't help but twitch her nose, following the source of the smell, and her eyes widened in surprise. It was fruit and wild vegetables. A whole basket full.
