Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 335

The higher the position, the better the view. Perched on Zayne’s shoulder, Nyx had the perfect vantage point. She followed the sound and quickly spotted the group. Just as she was about to study their faces, her vision went dark.

A large hand had covered her eyes. Zayne gently lifted her off his shoulder and held her in his arms.

Nyx, trapped between his firm chest muscles, wasn’t scared–just puzzled. She lifted a paw and pushed against him. “What is it?”

She thought, ‘Why is he suddenly holding me like this?‘

“Don’t climb too high. What if you fall?” Zayne pressed his lips together, making up a clumsy excuse,

“I won’t,” Nyx said confidently. “I’ve sat on your head before and never fallen!”

It wasn’t her first time climbing onto Zayne’s shoulder. His shoulders were broad, and she always perched there securely. Besides, even if she did slip, Zayne would definitely catch her.

Left speechless by her quick comeback, Zayne had no way to argue. He just held the little rabbit in his arms a bit tighter.

Before he could think of another excuse, a tabby cat suddenly dashed over, yelling, “Nyx! Someone wants to buy my stuff! Hurry and help me set a price!”

“Alright,” Nyx nodded. “I’m coming!”

Seeing that she seemed to have completely forgotten about the Sea Race Tribe, Zayne tentatively let go of her hand.

The little rabbit, now free, landed on the ground and immediately darted over to the tabby cat, hopping alongside her as they left together.

Zayne watched them disappear into the distance and silently let out a breath of relief. This was the first time he didn’t find Lila, who was always clinging to Nyx, so annoying.

“Zayne! Come help lift this crate.” the males in the tribe called out to him from the other side.

Zayne felt at ease for the time being.
