Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 370

Chapter 370

Erik didn't like cats, especially the cats that Nyx praised with such a smile.

Jealousy spread in Erik's heart as he jumped up from his bed and couldn't help but bitterly say, "You like cats? Didn't you say you liked Pale Wolf?"

"Yeah," Nyx replied without any guilt, "I like them all. I love fluffy little animals, and I think little snakes and fish are cute too."

Even when her other mates weren't around, she still knew how to play her part, her tone full of gentleness.

"You sure like a lot of things," Erik said, his jealousy growing stronger. "And they're so specific."

He couldn't help but start to wonder if Nyx had other little pets-cats, dogs, snakes, fish-besides him, Pale Wolf.

The usually oblivious Erik finally became a little sharp, but quickly managed to talk himself out of it. He thought, 'If she has pets, then let her have them. It doesn't matter; they are useless anyway. I am the rightful mate. I am the one who belongs by Nyx's side.'

"If you like that cat so much, then have someone catch it and keep it with you," Erik said, trying to act magnanimous. "Don't worry; the Duke's Mansion can afford a cat. We can even send more maids to take care of it, so you won't have to trouble yourself."

Even though he didn't like cats, if Nyx liked it, he could tolerate it.

"No need." Nyx waved her hand. "It has an owner; it's not a stray."

She could easily see through Erik trying to be tough. Sure enough, the moment she declined, she saw him secretly relax.

"Well, then, in a few days, I'll get you a little wolf," Erik said, pressing his lips together and adding, "A grey one."

If she really wanted a pet, then a little Pale Wolf would do. Since he and Nyx probably couldn't have children, they could treat the little Pale Wolf like their child.

"Okay," Nyx said, smiling as she nodded in agreement, then wrapped her arms around her mate's neck and kissed him.

It had been many days since they had been intimate. The young male was like a fire, igniting quickly and burning intensely.

For a moment, he forgot about his leg injury, being led by the woman he loved. A look of intoxication slowly appeared in his

eyes.

Outside the room, Arlong, realizing what was happening, instinctively blocked his ears and moved further away.

The night was filled with calls for water several times.

The maids in the courtyard, though busy, had joyful expressions on their faces.

They didn't know when Erik had returned, but Nyx had regained his favor.

They thought this was wonderful. They couldn't wait to see who would dare not to respect Nyx anymore.

The whole courtyard was filled with a happy vibe, and Erik, embracing his beloved, felt that the pain in his leg had lessened significantly.

Meanwhile, in the Palace, Aurelius was unable to sleep all night. He held the intelligence his subordinates had gathered, his expression unreadable.

It was different from what he had imagined.

The reports made it clear that Erik and his wife seemed to be deeply in love, inseparable, always together day and night. On the day of their marriage, Erik had shown little interest in her-he hadn't even appeared at the wedding ceremony.

But on their third day back from the wedding, he had accompanied his wife to the Voss family, stood by her side, and took action against the Voss family because they had mistreated his wife.

As for Erik's recent neglect, it seemed to have a reason.

It wasn't because he was tired of her; it was because Erik was recovering from his leg injury and didn't want his wife to see him in such a horrible state, so he stayed in the study, avoiding her.

Aurelius closed his eyes and threw the confidential letter aside, letting out a heavy, frustrated sigh.

He thought, "That makes sense. It is only natural for anyone to like Nyx. It would be strange not to like her. But Erik loves Nyx, and they are a legitimate couple. Where does that leave me?'

Aurelius, growing increasingly agitated, paced back and forth, unable to contain his frustration. He shifted into his beast form, sharpening his claws again and again.

He thought, 'No. No matter what, I won't give up. I just arrived too late; it's not necessarily over. Everyone has their own strengths.'

Aron, standing nearby, watched as Aurelius's expression shifted again and again, eventually morphing into a cat-like figure. He sharpened his claws and swished his tail, clearly not happy.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late," Aron said with a worried tone. "You should rest..."

He should have advised Aurelius not to leave the palace today.

Now it was too late. Not only had Aurelius become infatuated with a married woman, but his regular routine was also starting to fall apart. At this rate, it was unclear whether he would neglect his duties altogether.

Nyx was like the legendary disaster-bringer, a beauty who caused chaos. Logically, Aron thought he should despise Nyx, but after just a brief encounter and a few words exchanged, he found her gentle and generous, her eyes clear and pure, with nothing about her that matched the idea of a seductress.

Ultimately, it was the emperor who fell for her, not her fault.

"The Voss family seems to have two more daughters, both still unmarried," Aron carefully said. "Though they aren't from the same mother as Nyx, they do share the same father, so they must resemble her somewhat. Should Your Majesty summon them to the palace to serve you?"
