Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Erik lowered his head, remaining silent for a long time.

Seeing that he seemed to be trapped in some dead-end, Nyx lightly tapped him with her foot.

In that instant, Erik jolted, his face flushing as he looked at Nyx in disbelief.

"If I hated you, why would I spend every day with you?" Nyx asked as she laughed, unable to suppress a smile.

The anxious, insecure Pale Wolf made her feel both fond and sorry for him.

The young Erik should have been a proud, outstanding individual, but in front of her, there was always a trace of self-doubt in his eyes.

She thought, 'Love brings worry, and love brings fear."

Nyx could only hold her tall mate tightly and gently stroke his hair, letting him feel her emotions through their close

contact.

She loved him too.

Suddenly, a rough, hot hand grabbed her ankle.

The world spun, and Nyx instantly sensed something was wrong.

It was still daytime, and she had only been teasing him without thinking of

handling the situation, but it was clear that Pale Wolf was about to get out of her control.

"You haven't finished applying the medicine." She nervously pushed against his chest, her hands brushing against firm muscle.

The injury on his abdomen didn't take away from the beauty of his body; if anything, the scar added a special kind of allure.

Nyx, feeling a surge of distraction, coughed lightly to cover up her feelings. "Does it hurt?"

It must hurt. Aurelius had been rough, but he had only been careful enough not to damage the internal organs. Within that limit, he was merciless when it came to dealing with his rival.

Erik struggled to control his restlessness and couldn't focus on feeling pain. He shook his head. "It doesn't hurt."

If he was too honest, he'd just get bullied in bed.

Nyx smiled helplessly.

If it were some little cat being interrogated by her, it would have already cried its heart out, telling her how much it hurt.

Even though her clumsy mate was holding back his vulnerability, she still

comforted him by pulling him into her embrace, stroking his fur, or in this case, his hair as if it were fur.

"Sorry, Nyx..." Erik buried his face in her embrace, his arms tightly wrapped around her waist, softly apologizing.
