Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 364

Chapter 364

"I dodged them, told them to get the F..." He inadvertently let slip a curse word, quickly swallowing the rest of it, his expression earnest. "They didn't touch me."

He had never liked being served by lower-status people, and he had never had any maids around him before. After being with Nyx, he was especially protective of his own purity. But those two were like glue, relentlessly pursuing him.

One moment they lied, saying it was Nyx who had sent them to serve him, then they changed their story, claiming they wanted to bear a child for her.

Erik was enraged.

He recognized their faces because of how jealous he'd gotten in the past when Nyx paid too much attention to these two maids.

Nyx had shown them kindness, and now these two ungrateful ones had the audacity to come seduce him. And worse, they were using Nyx's name.

"How about we just throw them out of the house?" He barely suppressed his anger, discussing with Nyx how to deal with them.

On the surface, they would be kicked out, but he would secretly have them killed, making sure everything was handled neatly without Nyx finding out.

The shadow guards had already gathered intelligence, revealing that the two maids were spies from Banon. Since they were enemies planted in his home, he felt no need to show mercy.

If he weren't worried about how to explain things to Nyx if she asked about them, he would've dealt with it already.

Now, they were practically asking for their own demise, giving him a perfect excuse to make them disappear.

Nyx frowned, feeling conflicted, "This might not be right."

"They're still young, without any means of livelihood, and they're so beautiful," she said with concern, uneasy about the situation. "If we throw them out, they might end up in bad circumstances."

Beauty combined with weakness often led to disaster.

Erik was stunned. "You... you still care about their fate?"

"Don't you like me? Don't you care about me?" He plaintively buried his head in Nyx's embrace. "Aren't you mad they tried to take me from you?"

Some of his colleagues had wives who were fierce and jealous, causing chaos in their homes, and Erik had always found those situations laughable. But now, he felt jealousy in a whole new way.

Everyone always said women should be tolerant and virtuous, that jealousy was a sin, but he felt men and women were the

same.

He liked Nyx so much that he wanted to hide her away from everyone. He thought if Nyx liked him, she should act the same way toward him.

Nyx, unable to hold back a smile, pulled her embarrassed Pale Wolf into her arms and kissed him firmly on the cheek. "I like you."

"Of course, I'm mad," she admitted. She wasn't free from possessiveness regarding her mate, and she wasn't so magnanimous that she'd ignore it. "But I think there's another way to handle this. Let's talk to them first, and if they try it again, we'll deal with them then."
