"Why not?" Nyx came to her senses, flipped over, and pressed him down, gently pinching his ears. "Aren't you my mate?"

Her soft breath brushed his ear, making Zayne's ears burn. He sat there helplessly, letting Nyx have her way.

“Next year, next hot season, we'll have cubs,” he tried to negotiate with her. If Nyx insisted on having cubs now, then so be it. He would just have to hunt during the cold season to provide for his mate and cubs.

Having made all the plans in his heart, the Snow Wolf relaxed, exuding an air of resignation.

Seeing his innocent and easy-to-bully appearance, Nyx turned around, covering her mouth, and couldn't help but laugh secretly. Teasing the pure-hearted Zayne was truly amusing.

Even in the dim light, Zayne's vision was excellent, and his hearing was extremely sharp.

His long fur, with just daily care, was thick and smooth, pure white and clean, feeling very nice to the touch. Surrounded by such a fluffy sensation, Nyx felt a bit drowsy and gradually slowed her movements.

The Snow Wolf's gray-blue eyes were filled with tenderness. He gazed at his beloved female for a while, then closed his eyes and took a nap with her.

Outside the cave, the cold wind howled. Nyx curled up in her mate's arms, sleeping warmly and soundly. When she woke up, the cave was even darker. Nyx rubbed her eyes in confusion, unsure if it was morning or evening.
