The moment the firework burst, sealed memories flooded back like a tide. He was just wondering how to tell Nyx when she saw right through him.

Nyx looked dazed, cheeks flushed, staying quiet. A young, tender partner was different from a mature male–subtle shifts in his gaze and presence. She had her own way of knowing.

Urgent footsteps climbed the tower, heading straight for her. Nyx looked up and saw Pale Wolf, clearly with his memories back too.

If the young general was a sharp sword, now Erik was a towering mountain–just standing there, endlessly dependable. Even Grayball, who usually ignored him, tucked its tail cautiously, trailing behind like he was the wolf king.

Nyx crouched down, hugged the wolf cub she’d raised from a pup, and kissed its head. It was huge now but still loved to act cute like when it was little.

“Goodbye, Grayball,” Nyx whispered her farewell.

She was glad she could leave a projection behind to keep this clingy wolf company after she left, sparing its feelings. Behind her, Erik watched her cuddle the gray cub, his expression unreadable.

The oblivious Nyx said bye to the world, closed her eyes, and let Heavenly Law pull her and her successful partners out of the test. A test lasting three or four years felt like a long work trip. Back home, seeing a house full of males, Nyx felt an odd, shy distance.

“Tired, Nyx?” Zayne poured her a hot drink, taking her hand as he did.

A spark shot from her fingertips through her whole body. Nyx trembled slightly, sipped the drink, and hid her unease.

Back in her real body, her sharp sight, smell, and hearing all returned. She was hyper–aware. Even with her eyes lowered, she could feel those beastly stares locked on her alone.

A drop of drink lingered on her lip. All the males swallowed hard, tension brewing, like they were vying to lick it off.

Nyx quickly grabbed a handkerchief, wiped her mouth, sat up straight, coughed lightly, and got to business. “This time, I did the test with Aurelius and Pale Wolf together.”

“Two? Together?” The males all turned to Aurelius and Erik, eyes probing.

Theon and Felix had tested with Nyx together too, but they shared a beast form and were uncle and nephew, so it wasn’t a

shock.

But Aurelius and Erik were always at each other’s throat. Everyone went quiet. The ones yet to test exchanged looks, their expressions growing wary and complicated.

Under one roof, they were all territorial, aggressive males. Fighting and jealousy were par for the course. If Heavenly Law paired them up for a test too, without memories, there would be all sorts of chaos.

“Did it go well?” Jaws asked, smiling calmly, though his heart wasn’t.

Erik didn’t waste words. He ripped open his shirt, showing the changed mark on his chest to everyone.

Compared to him, Aurelius was more refined, nodding. “Everything went smoothly.”

Even sworn enemies like them didn’t fail. The others instantly felt more at ease.

They sat and chatted for a bit, then rolled around on the carpet with the males‘ gorgeous beast forms. Nyx’s awkwardness
