Chosen Mate Of The Beastmen Empire

There was an enemy attack.

The desire in Zayne's eyes instantly faded. He grabbed the clothes thrown on the bed and wrapped Nyx up:

"Hide in the house and wait for me to come back," he said hurriedly, giving instructions while grabbing his weapon heading out.

Outside, chaos had already erupted.

The Monkey Tribe's chieftain hid in the branches of a large tree, looking uncertainly at the scene before him.

They had planned a surprise attack, but as soon as the rhinos charged, one by one, they fell into a large pit. Inside the pit, something pricked them, causing them to scream in pain.

While the trap couldn't take down hundreds of rhinos, their formation was disrupted, and they began charging recklessly. losing their minds. It was nothing like the Wolf Tribe, whose coordination and order were flawless.

After just one clash, the outcome was clear.

"Let's go, we're leaving, the Monkey Tribe's chieftain decisively said, not caring about the plans made for today or how much time they'd wasted on the way. He hurriedly called his tribe members, "Let's go quickly."

It was a pity that their efforts were in vain, but survival was the most important thing

Taking advantage of the wolves being busy with the rhinos and not noticing them, they could still escape. If they waited any longer, it would be too late.

A sharp sound of something cutting through the air suddenly came at them.

The Monkey Tribe's chieftain reacted quickly, instinctively twisting his body to dodge, and grabbed another monkey beside him as a shield.

With a soft "thud," the monkey in front of him fell silent and dropped straight down from the tree.

In an instant, cold sweat broke out on the chieftain. He thought, "What's that?

From a distance, he made eye contact with a male wolf from the tribe, whose gaze was icy. The wolf held a strange weapon that the chieftain didn't recognize, but it was clear the wolf was aiming at him.

The chieftain's fur stood on end, and he turned to run. He finally realized what was wrong-they had been discovered.

The Wolf Tribe had been prepared, not only for the rhinos but seemingly anticipating their arrival.

Nyx had once advised that the leader should be captured first.

The wolf archer focused on the Monkey Tribe's chieftain, not attacking anyone else, just relentlessly chasing him. One arrow after another, aiming for his life.

The chieftain narrowly dodged once, but his tail was scratched, causing pain and tension as he sweated profusely

He desperately squeezed through the crowd, not caring how many tribe members fell victim to the flying blades, just as long

as he could survive...

In the past, he had considered himself the smartest person on the continent, never thinking much of the other tribes, including their Shamans, always considering them a bunch of fools. But at that moment, he suddenly lost the confidence he once had.

He thought. Who could be so smart, able to predict my plan and come up with such a cunning weapon specifically to target them? It must be that little rabbit named Nyx. It has to be her

The chieftain, out of breath, was slowing down as he ran, his strength giving out. Several monkeys were shot and killed, and the others weren't foolish; they had already realized that the chieftain was using them as human shields, so they scattered.

Another bone arrow shot came at him..

The chieftain panicked, looking around. He saw only a small, slow-moving monkey who hadn't managed to escape in time.

He rushed toward it.

"Squeak" The small monkey was too tiny to block the fast-moving arrow. The arrowhead pierced through it, and the impact didn't fully dissipate before it struck the chieftain's abdomen.

A sharp pain and terror hit him instantly. His hand trembled, and he couldn't hold onto the branch. He fell rapidly.

Abone arrow pierced him accurately, nailing him to the tree trunk. The tree fell, and the monkeys scattered.

With the chieftain dead, the monkeys lost their leader. Some fled, some surrendered, no longer having any ambition to fight for territory, only left begging for mercy.

The battle between the wolf and rhinoceros tribes was also nearing its end.

Zayne acted swiftly, kicking the last rhinoceros away, dropping his weapon, washing his hands by the riverbank, making sure they were clean and free from any lingering smell of blood, before turning and walking toward the cave.

A figure, however, stepped out of the cave ahead of him. The moment Zayne saw him, everything around fell silent; only the sound of the wind remained Zayne's face darkened. "It's you."

"It's me." The monkey father, who had caused trouble and been exposed, held a bone knife to Nyx's neck, taking her hostage.

Nyx's little female body was weak, helpless, and pitiful as he pushed her forward, looking as if she might stumble at any

The sharp bone knife pressed tightly against her fragile skin, both of her slender wrists bound, unable to shift into beast form and escape.

Seeing this, Zayne felt as if his heart was being gripped by a large hand, losing its ability to breathe. His eyes turned bloodshot as he stared at the kidnapper, wanting nothing more than to tear him apart.

The terrifying look made the monkey father instinctively flinch. But soon, he steadied himself, sneering. "You want to kill

me?

"If you take one more step forward. I'll kill her first." He had Nyx's life in his hands, and with the bone knife, he drew back and forth across her neck, enjoying Zayne's anxious expression, laughing loudly with arrogance.

"What do you want?" the chieftain asked, trying to stay calm, speaking from the side. "If you kill her, you'll die too. You won't gain anything," he tried to persuade the kidnapper to release Nyx. "Let her go. Whatever you want, we'll try our best to fulfill."

Anything that the Wolf Tribe could offer, they would give to save Nyx. Even if it meant giving up this territory, it was fine.

"Is that so?" The monkey father shook his head, clicking his tongue.

He raised his hand, pointing at Zayne, his eyes filled with malice. "Then break one

of your fingers first. How about that?"

Starting g with the finger, then moving to an arm, a leg, and an eye. He planned to slowly torment this Snow Wolf.

He didn't want bone coins, food, or territory; he wanted the feeling of controlling

the strong and playing with them in the palm of his hand, which was intoxicating to

him.

From the moment his son had been dragged by the chieftain to shield the arrows and died, he only wanted others suffer like he did.

He had learned where the young couple lived and knew that the little rabbit was hiding alone at home Taking advantage. her moment of unpreparedness, he successfully captured her.

The surroundings were completely silent.

Zayne stayed silent for two seconds, then gripped his left pinky with his right hand and decisively twisted it back. The sharp snap of the bone echoed in the air, causing everyone to shiver and gasp in shock.

Nyx's eyes went wide. "Zayne."

"Shut up. The kidnapper threatened fiercely, raising his hand to cover her mouth.

"Don't touch her, Zayne coldly spoke. "What do you want to do? Come at me."

He knew that no matter how cooperative he was, the kidnapper would never release Nyx in the end. But for now, all be could do was delay, waiting for the right moment to rescue her.

The monkey father said several "okay's in a row and shouted impatiently, "I want you to break your right arm"

Zayne didn't hesitate for a second. He raised his hand and grabbed his own shoulder.

"Zayne." The chieftain frowned deeply, shaking his head in disagreement.

A finger would be fine, but if Zayne lost an arm, he'd really become useless.

"Stop talking nonsense," the kidnapper interrupted the chieftain, loudly urging. "Hurry up. If you don't, I'll cut off her arm first.

His eyes shone with excitement as he stared at Zayne, unwilling to miss even the slightest reaction, eagerly awaiting the ner

act.

Not everyone could be so harsh on themselves, unless Zayne loved his mate more than he loved himself.

The monkey father couldn't wait to see what Zayne would choose. Unconsciously, his grip loosened, and the knife shifted slightly, pulling away from Nyx's neck. It no longer pressed tightly against it.

Nyx narrowed her eyes. In the blink of an eye, she forcefully thrust her elbow back. Taking advantage of the kidnapper's pain-induced reflex to loosen his grip, she rolled forward and regained her freedom.

Before Zayne could charge forward, she suddenly leapt up, raised her long right leg, and with all her strength, kicked the kidnapper squarely in the abdomen. The monkey father, caught off guard and clutching his stomach, instantly turned pale. He thought, 'Is this a female? Haven't I captured a weak little female? Without giving him any time to think or react, Nyx targeted his vital points. She struck one after another with smooth. vicious movements, creating terrifying, bone-chilling sounds.

At the thought of Zayne's broken pinky, her eyes turned red with hatre. With her adrenaline spiking, she unleashed extraordinary strength.

Everyone was stunned, staring in disbelief, as if they were seeing an illusion.

06:26 Tue, 11 Mar

They couldn't connect the fierce female in front of them with the gentle Nyx they

knew.

Even Zayne was dumbfounded, frozen in place. He had planned to go along with

the kidnapper's demands, gradually lowering his guard to catch him off-guard, so Nyx could shift into beast form and escape.

But unexpectedly, as soon as the kidnapper loosened his hold just a little, Nyx struck first.

Zayne instinctively took a few steps forward, hesitated for a moment, then stopped, not intervening, but prepared to support Nyx at any moment

"I'll kill you!" The kidnapper, finally snapping back to reality after taking a few brutal hits, yelled angrily and tried to grab the annoying little rabbit again. Nyx frowned, pursing her lips without responding, and kicked his wrist with a muffled sound.

The kidnapper cried out in pain, and his bone knife dropped straight down, too fast to dodge, even cutting him.

Without a weapon, he was left with nothing but his bare hands. He caught sight of Zayne's cold, piercing gray-blue gaze and finally felt panic seep in. Even though he had mentally prepared for death, the fear still spread through him when death was at his doorstep.

Without the hostage, he was nothing. He had to catch the little rabbit quickly.

The dire situation triggered the kidnapper's hidden potential. Ignoring his injuries, he threw himself at Nyx even more desperately.

“Nyx" Zayne's gaze sharpened, and he immediately moved to help, but Nyx

quickly dodged, easily evading him.

Her movements were so fluid and ghost-like that her attacker couldn't predict her

next move.

The crowd was left in a daze, each one staring with their mouths open, as if they had just met Nyx for the first time.

Losing the advantage of a surprise attack, the monkey was completely helpless in front of her. She toyed with him effortlessly, while he grew more and more frustrated, yet helpless.

When his rage finally faded, Nyx spun around, leaping into the air, kicking him

square in the face, knocking him flat on his back, nearly knocking the breath out

of him.

In mid-air, she skillfully adjusted her posture and landed straight into Zayne's warm, strong embrace.

Zayne held her tightly, as though embracing a precious treasure that he had almost lost.

He buried his face in Nyx's neck, taking a deep breath, murmuring softly, "Sorry."

It was his fault for not protecting Nyx and putting her in such a dangerous

situation.

Just a little mistake, and she could have been injured or even killed.

Zayne trembled from fear, unable to think any further.

"The one who should apologize isn't you; it's me," Nyx interrupted him softly.

She gently stroked the male's back, carefully holding his injured left hand. When she saw his clearly injured finger, intense self-blame surged within her. Tears welled up in her eyes, trembling on the brink of falling. She endured, but eventually, they fell

It was her fault for being so careless. She had been taken hostage, which led to Zayne being forced to comply.

Just a little longer, and he would have had to sacrifice another arm. As long as she hadn't escaped, Zayne would keep

comparamsing for her whether it was linger, warm, or even his life

The tears fell on the back of his band, as it anking her heart heavy

Zayne panicked, hedding her fare and wiping her tears, speaking in a jumbled

voice, I'm sorry, don'tery

Aingh, you two, Enough of the T'm sorry and your sorry The chieftain, who had been listening, felt a toothache from their words. He cleared

This incident won't anyone's fault but the ones who kidnapped Nyx: 11 anyonenoveldrama

should be blamed, it was them.

The tribe had already rushed in and completely deals with the monkey to prevent

any further complications.

Nyx lowered her gaze to the body on the ground, her thoughts cooling down. She asked the male holding the bow, "Did you kill a little monkey?"

The only thing that could drive this guy to such madness was probably the pain of losing a child. Otherwise, with his cunning nature, if things had looked bad, he would have dearly run away immediately, not insisted on being their enemy. risking his life to make things difficult for them.

Title monkey? The archer remembered it clearly. "There was one, it was brought

to block the arrows by the chieftain"

He hadn't aimed at the little monkey, nor treated it as a target, but the little

monkey did lose its life, becoming the soul

beneath his arrow

Nyx followed him to the edge of the trees, confirming the little monkey's identity

with her own eyes. Her mood was complicated, and the let out a solt sigh

The juvenile was curled up there, lifeless, looking indeed pitiful. But for the Wolf Tribe, these creatures were invaders, and their deaths were deserved. War was this cruel. She could only ensure she didn't initiate it, and she could stand with a clear conscience. "Zayne, your finger. After a long silence, she turned to look at Zayne, refocusing her attention on him. Upon hearing, her, Zayne instinctively hid his left hand behind his back.
