Yes 2025-03-02 02:54 active 2674 0 Read next chapter Born into a society where girls were undervalued and often oppressed, her parents hid the fact that she was a girl to protect her from harm. However, after her parents died, she was adopted by a king and sold as a s*x slave to the ruthless Beast King. ===== UREKAI: In the days of old, the Urekai stood out as the strongest and most powerful beings in the world. The ancient tongue called them 'fearsome beasts' for: Like werewolves, they could transform into beasts. Like vampires, they consumed bl**d. And walked among humans with no one the wiser. The ageless, peaceful, selfless beings preferred to keep to themselves. Despite being feared and distrusted, they never responded with aggression. They granted passage to any species wishing to enter their lands beyond the great mountain and welcomed everyone. But five centuries ago, an unexpected species attacked the Urekais during their one night of weakness. The humans. While protecting his people, Grand King Daemonikai lost control of his mind, going feral. Becoming a danger to the same people whom he had given everything to protect. Although it seemed impossible, the Urekais managed to capture their king's beast form, imprisoning him in a secure cage, ensuring he could never escape. But, consumed by hatred for humans, the Urekai plunged themselves into darkness. Becoming the fearsome beasts others had always feared them to be. Wearing their monstrosity with pride. HUMANS: After invading the Urekais, a mysterious virus outbreak struck. No one knew where it came from, but many speculated their attack on the Urekais brought it on. While most males eventually recovered after a long struggle, the virus proved fatal for the majority of females. Survivors rarely gave birth to female children. Those left or born became scarce and sought-after commodities. In many kingdoms, greedy fathers sold their daughters to breeding houses. Some were forced into pleasure houses, existing solely for men's enjoyment. Some faced terrible abuse in exchange for protection. Even the wealthy and the privileged could not guarantee the safety of the females in their lives, as the mere sight of a female--be it an infant, a young girl, or an elderly woman--drew unwanted attention. Female children faced constant danger. They are not safe in the society. *** PROLOGUE HUMAN LAND: THE KINGDOM OF NAVIA. "It's a g-girl, your highness," Prince Garret froze. As he turned, looking at the palace healer, his hands resting on his exhausted wife's body, shook uncontrollably. He had secretly arranged the delivery months ago, and now they were hidden in one of the underground rooms in the palace, where his beloved wife, Pandora, was giving birth. "What did you just say to me?" Prince Garret hoped he heard wrong. Perhaps it had been a mistake. Please, gods, let it be a mistake! But the pity in the older man's face couldn't be disguised. The palace healer turned the little bundle. "The baby is a girl." Terror crossed Pandora's face as she adjusted herself to get a closer look at her baby. "No. Oh, the gods, please no..." She shook her head vigorously fresh tears gathering in her eyes. Tears welled in the healer's eyes. "I'm so sorry, your highness." "No!!!" Pandora cried out burying her face into her husband's waiting arms, sobs after sobs ripping from her throat. Garret felt numb as he held his wife. His first daughter, Aekeira, wasn't even four yet, and the king was already negotiating with the kingdom of Cavar to sell her to the highest bidder. Because, apparently, Navia 'could use more funds.' King Orestus might be Garret's brother, but he was a tyrant, and his word was law. Now, another girl child? Two daughters? Tears filled Garrett's eyes as he looked upon the crying bundle wiggling around in healer's arms. The world was not safe for either of his daughters. "I'll raise her like a boy," Pandora declared suddenly. The healer's eyes widened. "Are you suggesting we keep her identity a secret?" "Yes," Pandora affirmed, her resolve strengthening. "This child will never be seen as a girl. No one will ever find out!" "B-but, it's impossible to hide something like this, your majesty." The healer panicked. "The king will order our execution!" "Then, we take the secret to our grave." Pandora's voice was fierce. "I was unable to protect my first daughter, but by the Light-gods, I will protect my second." Too dangerous, but Garret was all for it too. This was their best chance to keep their daughter safe, and they would take it. "As far as we are concerned, the child I bore today was a male." Pandora looked at the baby. "His name is Emeriel. Emeriel Galilea Evenstone." Emeriel. It's a neutral name, and also means 'Sky's Protection' in the old tongue. Garret liked it. Fitting too, for their daughter would need all the luck and protection in the world. "I agree," Garret spoke aloud. With the plan fully in his mind, Garret swore the two other men in the room to secrecy. ********* That night, Garrett and his wife, stood by the baby's small cradle, watching their newborn sleep. Across the room, their three-year-old daughter, Aekeira, lay curled under a blanket, her tiny chest rising and falling in peaceful rhythm. "In all my years on this earth, I've never seen anyone bear two female children, Garrett," Pandora whispered, voice cracking. She glanced up at him, eyes glistening with tears. "I don't know what this means for us... or for them." Garrett placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Maybe it means they have a great destiny to fulfill." "Or a great sorrow in their future," Pandora's eyes drifted to their eldest, worriedly. "I'm so scared for them. How could something like this happen?" Perhaps you've been touched by the gods, my darling," Garrett said in comfort. "I really doubt that. Why me? Why us?" He had no answer to that. "If that's true," Pandora sniffled, brushing her fingers over the baby's soft cheek, "may that god always protect my babies. We won't always be here to do that." Garrett pulled his wife into his arms, holding her close, fighting to hide his own worry. Because, she was right. What were the odds of a couple in these times bearing not just one, but two daughters? None. Absolutely none. As he gazed at their sleeping children, prayer rose in his heart. Whatever god you are, please... protect our angels. Chapter 2 THE PRINCESS IN A 'PRINCE' DISGUISE Twenty-one Years Later PRINCE EMERIEL. "He's so pretty," a voice murmured. "It's the feminine prince," another one said. The third man had l*st in his eyes. "No man should have hair that gorgeous." Prince Emeriel ignored them all as he moved from the palace grounds into the building, head held high. Just because he was used to the unwanted attention, didn't mean it didn't make his skin crawl. He might have lived as a boy all his life, but it didn't exactly keep him all that safe. Men of Navia would stick their ph**llus in anything with a h*le, especially if it looked remotely feminine. But Emeriel's senses were always on high alert. Which is why he was probably the only twenty-one-year-old vi**in in Navia. That, and his sister, Princess Aekeira, always did everything in her power to protect him. To make sure his secrets remained tightly hidden. A carriage accident had taken their parents fifteen years ago, and King Orestus had adopted them. That tyrant made life a living hell for them. Emeriel entered the hallway to Aekeira's chambers when he heard it. Whimpers. Soft, pain-filled whimpers. That sound was coming from… Rage surged through Emeriel. Not this again! Determined, he stormed down the hall, and shoved the door open, unsheathing his s*ord. "Get away from my sister right this instant, Lord Murphy, or I swear to the sky I will cut you down where you stand!" Emeriel snarled. The minister of human affairs's face twisted with irritation, and he stopped thrusting. "Go away, little prince. You're ruining the fun." Emeriel hated the jab 'little prince,' but surely not as much as he hated being called a 'slight prince.' Over the years, Navians had given him a lot of names thanks to his small and feminine look. "Get away from her right now!" Emeriel strode purposefully toward the b*d, seizing hold of Lord Murphy and pushing him away from Aekeira. With a satisfying thud, the old oaf tumbled to the floor. Aekeira rose from the b*d, clutching her vulnerable body, her face red from crying, eyes tired and swollen. Emeriel pulled his sister into his arms, hugging her tightly. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, Keira." "It was not your fault." "Why the hell would you do that!?" Lord Murphy rose angrily. "I won Princess Aekeira fair and square in the card game at the gathering last night. The king wagered with her and lost to me! I was supposed to have her for two hours at least!" Emeriel's eyes blazed as he whirled around, facing him. "If you put your hands on her again, I swear to the sky I will cut off your m*le or*an, Lord Murphy." "You will not dare!" "I'll gladly take whatever punishment the king gives," he stated with conviction, "but you will be without your manhood. Choose wisely." Lord Murphy's eyes widened, his hands flying protectively over his cr**ch, face reddening in anger. "The king will hear of this!" The minister snarled. Taking his clothes, he marched out of the room. "Oh, Em, why did you do that?" Aekeira's eyes filled with worry. "The king might punish you with the hot whip again." "I do not care. Let us go to my room." Putting his s*ord away, Emeriel could not even look his sister in the eyes, dangerously close to tears himself. Helping Aekeira into her clothes, he led her out, and down the hallway. That age-old guilt crept down Emeriel's spine. Aekeira always protected Emeriel, even when it made her the sole target. His sister never hated him, but Emeriel hated himself for it. Aekeira was always bubbly and always happy. But in times like this, when her body was vi**ated, she mostly looked tired then. Weary of the world. Worried about the next aristocrat the king would hand her over to. Much later, freshened up, Aekeira laid on the bed, closing her eyes. "Em? My worst nightmare when I was younger was thinking I would be sold to an aristocrat in Cavar, but now, I almost wish that heartless king went ahead with it, instead of changing his mind," Aekeira whispered. "Please, don't say that." Emeriel held her hand. "That kingdom is a horror play. Anywhere is better than Cavar, sister. Well, except beyond the great mountain, of course." Just the thought made Emeriel shiver. The Urekai dwelled beyond those mountains. "Sometimes I wish I could leave this godforsaken kingdom." A single tear slipped from Aekeira's eyes. Me too, Keira. Me too. ****** That night, after bathing, Emeriel stood before the mirror, staring at his reflection. His long, silken black hair fell over his shoulders, cascading like a waterfall. With his hair down like this, he looked like what he truly was. A girl. What would it feel like to live freely, like the person the mirror reflected? To not live in fear of the next man who might seek to take advantage of him, like they do his sister? Emeriel fantasized about marrying the man of his dreams. A protector. Someone powerful enough to keep him safe, shield him from predators, and sweep him off his feet with immense strength and love. All delusion. But a sweet one, nonetheless. Reality was far too ugly. Shaking it off, he crawled into bed and closed his eyes, letting sleep take him. . . The dream began as it always did. The man filled the doorway, hidden in the shadows. He was big, larger and more masculine than any man Emeriel had ever seen. Tall like a giant, he made Emeriel feel small, like a cornered prey. "Who are you?" Emeriel's drowsy voice came out shaky, filled with fear. "What do you want from me?" "You are mine," he said, voice deep as rolling thunder. "Meant to be on your knees for me. On your back. To be f**ked you so hard your legs quake. You were meant to beg for me all the time. Only mine." Emeriel's face burned with shock. So scandalized, he scrambled upright. "Y-you shouldn't say such improper things to me! It's wrong!" But the mysterious man stepped into Emeriel's bedroom, emerging from the shadows. As he did, his body shifted into a...beast. The most terrifying Emeriel had ever seen. A Urekai. "Oh gods, oh gods," Emeriel's breath hitched in terror, panic setting in. Of all the shapeshifters in the world, why a UREKAI!? He advanced with purpose. Its glowing yellow eyes bore into Emeriel, filled with hunger. Shaking his head fiercely, Emeriel scrambled backward. "No, no, no! Leave me alone!" he shouted, "Guards! Someone, help!" But no one came. The beast leapt onto the bed, got on top of Emeriel, trapping him under. Claws tore through his clothing, Emeriel's vulnerable female body was exposed to its yellow eyes. His powerful thighs forced Emeriel's apart...! Emeriel jolted awake with a scream. Body shaking and drenched in sweat, he glanced around the dark, empty room. "It was just a dream," he whispered, trembling. "Thank the gods. Just a dream." The same dream again. He'd had this dream for months now. He swallowed hard, running a shaky hand through his hair. "Why do I keep having such a scary nightmare?" It terrified Emeriel a lot. A Urekai? No one in this world prayed to meet a Urekai in their lifetime. Certainly not Emeriel. Yet, even with all the terror inside, the hotness of the dream lingered in his body. His feminine core felt different. W*t. What does this mean? Chapter 3 UREKAI Stepping outside the next morning, two warriors stopped before Emeriel. "The king summons you, my prince," One of them said. "Your presence is needed in the courtroom." Sh*t. That foolish minister wasted no time ratting on him. Emeriel let the way to court. It's just whipping, he will be fine. But, as he walked down the hall towards the door, it was eerily quiet. Something was wrong. The court was always noisy from the outside. Mutterings, murmurs, arguments were always expected. His worry deepened when the door opened, and all eyes didn't turn to gaze at him condescendingly. Instead, everyone's eyes were fixed at the center of the king's court. Emeriel's eyes followed theirs. Two men dressed in all-white apparel robes, with long, straight, waist-length black hair stood, appearing harmless. But a longer glance had Emeriel noticing muscles barely concealed under their robes, their slightly tipped ears, and their incredibly unnaturally handsome faces that were completely unreadable. He froze. Urekai. These ones looked expensive and aristocratic. Emeriel's throat went dry. No one prays to meet a Urekai face-to-face. "What do you say, King Orestus?" the Urekai with the long scar running from his cheek spoke. He looked the most intimidating. "No, this cannot happen," King Orestus protested, looking terrified, and doing a poor job of hiding it. The frown on Scarred Urekai's face deepened. Clearly, this was a being that did not take no for an answer. "You are mistaken if you think we are giving you a choice, human king," he said, taking a threatening step forward. The ministers of the court gasped, shrinking back into their seats. "Easy, Lord Vladya," the other Urekai spoke, his voice gentler. Imploring rather than commanding. The scarred Urekai, Lord Vladya, gave the king a hard look that would make any man tremble. "It is the least you can do, human king. Give us the princess, and we will leave quietly." "We are ready to pay for her," the other Urekai added, reaching into his robe and withdrawing a large bag of coins. Fear receded. The king's ears perked up with interest. "Money?" "Not just money, there are gold coins too," The non-scarred Urekai said. Everyone gasped, including Emeriel. Gold coins were rare and highly valuable. The Urekai continued, "All you have to do is hand the princess over, and this bag is yours." Wait… Princess? They couldn't possibly mean... The grand entrance opened again as two guards led Aekeira into the court. No, no, no, not my sister. Emeriel moved forward, but the guards who had escorted him stopped his movement. He bit his lip hard, trying not to draw attention to himself, but it was incredibly difficult. Surely, this couldn't be what he thought it was. It had to be a dream. There was no way the Urekai were here to buy his sister as a slave...! The two guards leading Aekeira to the center of the court, stopped a few feet from the Urekais. The terror on Aekeira's face mirrored Emeriel's feelings. "So, let me get this straight," King Orestus began, "All I need to do is sell her to you, and all this money is mine? There are no other conditions? Nothing else?" "Yes," the non-scarred Urekai responded. Lord Vladya moved forward, closing the distance between him and Aekeira, who was visibly shaking now. Cupping Aekeira's cheek tilting her head to the side to get a better look. He appeared utterly disgusted. "She'll do." King Orestus picked up his gavel and struck it hard on his desk. "Sold! From this moment on, Princess Aekeira belongs to the Urekais." "WHAT!?" The shout escaped Emeriel's lips before he could stop it. He ran toward the center of the courtroom and fell to his knees. "Please don't sell my sister to them. Not to the Urekais! Please, Your Majesty." The king gave him a bored look. "It's out of my hands now, Emeriel." It's out of his… Emeriel couldn't believe what he was hearing. "You can't let this happen. She's your niece too! How could you do this!?" He wasn't proud his voice turned the high-pitch of a girl's, as he practically screamed. But he didn't care. "You know a fate worse than death awaits her beyond the great mountain! How could you agree to sell her to them?" "As if he has a choice," Lord Vladya scoffed, his deep baritone filled with cynicism. Emeriel whirled around to face them, anger blanketing his features. But as he stared into those intimidating gray eyes, he couldn't bring himself to give in to his rage. He had read in one of the books that an Urekai had the power to take a life without physical contact. It might just be a rumor, but with his sister's life on the line, he had no intention of testing that theory. "I will go too. Where Aekeira goes, I go," Emeriel said, lifting his chin defiantly. Aekeira snapped her head toward Emeriel, her eyes widened in terror. "No! What are you doing, Em?" "I'm going with you," Emeriel stated firmly. Lord Vladya arched a perfectly shaped brow. "No. We have no need for you; we only need your sister." Emeriel stood. "I don't care. Take me too. If you leave me here, I will always try to come to her. I will cross the great mountains if I have to!" Lord Vladya laughed. There was no humor in the cold sound. "Without the rite of passage, the great mountain will swallow you whole. You'll never make it to the other side." "I'll take my chances," Emeriel vowed. "No! My brother is not coming," Aekeira interjected, before turning pleading eyes to Emeriel. "Don't do this, Em. I'm already doomed. I don't want you to face the same fate!" "If you come with us, you will be taken as our slave." Lord Vladya stated, pinning Emeriel with a stare. "Urekai do not care if you're male or female; you will serve in any way your master wants you. Whether it's in the mines or the cellar, on your back, bent over, or on your knees. If you agree to be our slave too, your freewill ends today." A shiver ran through Emeriel's spine. "Do you know what it means to be an Urekai's slave, little human? You're a pretty boy; you will not lack masters to service." Fear seeped through his core. If everything he had heard growing up and read in books were true, being an Urekai's slave was worse than being a human's slave. And my dreams... I should be running in a different direction...! But he steeled his spine. "Where my sister goes, I go." "We did not agree to get two slaves," the second Urekai said. "That is settled then," Lord Vladya continued as if he never spoke. Reaching into his robe, the scarred Urekai pulled out another bag of coins, throwing both on the floor towards the king. "We will take both." "Sold!" King Orestus banged his gavel again. Chapter 4 SOLD TO THE UREKAI Aekeira cried for over an hour after they left the courtroom. At first, she had been angry, shouting at Emeriel about his foolish decision. And then, she broke down, crying as if her heart had been shattered. Now, they were left alone in a tiny room on the boat. Emeriel remained quiet throughout his sister's breakdown, the weight of his decision finally sinking in. By the Light-gods, he was now a slave. Lower than a lo*born. Lower than a carpet servant. And not just any slave, but a Urekai slave. Or many Urekai, Emeriel had no idea yet. He would serve those heartless, ruthless beings who despised humans. "You're a pretty boy; you will not lack masters to service." A shiver coursed down Emeriel's spine. They were going to vi**late his body. What he had always dreamed of would finally coming true. Only now, it wouldn't be just one beast, it would be many. As many as his master wanted. Emeriel swallowed the bile rising in his throat. His breath seized as panic set in. "Breathe, Em. Come on," Aekeira appeared by his side, rubbing his back. "In... and out... come on, Em." Aekeira's voice was gentle, soothing, giving Emeriel no choice but to follow its sound. Aekeira continued rubbing his back. "Good girl. That's my girl." Two Urekai came in and forced them to take an unknown pill. Surely they hadn't paid all that money just to k*ll them before they even became slaves, right? Emeriel thought as she swallowed it. Minutes later, they both dropped unconscious on the floor. • Much later, Emeriel woke to the bumping ride of the carriage. His head woozy, his senses disoriented as he blinked several times to adjust his vision. They had been forced to take a pill. Rising, he walked to the carriage's wooden window and pushed it open. A gasp left him. They are in Urekai land. Emeriel could see dozens of them. But what had his jaw on the floor was the humans. There were plenty in sight. Many females nearly matching the number of males. Everyone knew the Urekais had acquired and held numerous humans captive after the war, but the sheer number he could see surpassed his expectations. And they were all slaves. Some were working in the fields, their weary bodies bent under the weight of their labor. Some were hauling heavy loads, their muscles straining with each step, under the watchful eyes of Urekai's. Some Urekais held whips, while some held s*ords. The sight turned Emeriel's stomach, making him sick. Is this to be our life now? Aekeira's gr**n of wakefulness echoed behind him and Emeriel quickly turned to his sister, concern etched on his face. "Are you alright, Kiera?" he asked, his voice hushed. Aekeira nodded, rubbing her eyes. "Where are we?" she asked, eyes scanning their surroundings. Their kingdom, Urai," Emeriel whispered, keeping his voice down so the carriage master would not overhear. Together, they took in the huge fortress in front of them. The carriage was headed straight for it. "This place looks highly luxurious," Aekeira said. Emeriel nodded. As royalty, they were well-acquainted with luxury, but this was on an entirely different scale. Which begged the question... Who exactly were the males who had purchased them? And if they weren't his and his sister's masters, then who was...? ******* They were brought into an empty room after passing numerous chambers and passages. "This shall be your quarters for now," a soldier announced. The room was surprisingly spacious and tastefully decorated. Not long after the soldiers left, the sound of approaching footsteps reached their ears, growing closer with each passing moment. The door swung open, and an older human woman marched in. Accompanied by a younger human woman and three Urekai males. The older woman's gaze landed on Emeriel, and she did a double take. "You are one remarkably handsome male. I have seen a lot of pretty males in my time, but even I can hardly think of one who is half as pretty as you." Feeling uneasy, Emeriel took a step back, finding solace behind Aekeira, who spread her arms protectively to shield him from prying eyes. "Well, it's a shame you're not the one we came for," the woman said dismissively, turning away. "Prepare her, boys. Amie, get the bath ready." The three males closed in on Aekeira, beginning to undress her. Their hands removed her clothes, while another tended to her hair, undoing the knots. "What are you doing?" Emeriel asked, concerned. "Getting her ready for what is to come." The older woman didn't bother to look at him. "You can either stay or leave. I care not. But if you disturb me, I will have you reported to the soldiers and thrown into the dungeon." Numerous questions swirled in Emeriel's mind, but a shake of Aekeira's head silenced him. He watched helplessly as they undressed her, with the younger girl, Amie, preparing a large tub filled with water. Eventually, Emeriel decided to step out and explore, wandering the halls aimlessly. He followed one to a secluded passage that appeared hidden from casual glances. Voices echoed in the distance, so he moved closer towards them. "What shall we do with the boy? He was not part of the plan," one voice said. "I do not care, Lord Ottai. Perhaps we will think of something later." Lord Vladya's voice came. "For now, let us focus on the girl. The bad weather delayed our journey, I had expected us to return yesterday." His voice, chilling and authoritative, Lord Vladya added. "Time is running short; she must be in the forbidden chambers tonight." Forbidden chambers? Emeriel didn't like the sound of that at all. "Calm yourself, Vladya. That young girl cannot handle the beast," Lord Ottai added. "I do not care. They have made their b*ds, and they shall lie in them," Vladya said defiantly. A heavy sigh followed. "It would be heartless to send that girl in to service the beast without any inkling of what to expect. I know you have no love for humans, and frankly, neither do I, but we can surely do better than that," Lord Ottai reasoned. "Do as you wish, Ottai. Tell them everything or tell them nothing. I care not," Vladya stated. "Whether she lives or dies, I care not either. I shall throw in the pretty little prince next, and if he perishes too, I shall be on the next carriage to the next human kingdom to select another princess for him. That is the only aspect of this that concerns me." A silence fell after their exchange, leaving Emeriel's mind racing with fear and disbelief. Service the beast? Die? Chapter 5 YOUR PURPOSE HERE Emeriel was horrified. I must rescue Aekeira! We need to escape! "I know you are there, pretty prince. I can smell you," Lord Vladya's voice rang out. Emeriel gasped, frozen in place as Lord Vladya's imposing figure emerged from the door. Instinctively, Emeriel took a step back. Then another. Lord Vladya smirked. "I would advise against whatever thoughts are brewing in that little head of yours. You have no inkling of where you are, do you?" Emeriel could only discern they were in the tallest, most fortified fortress he had ever seen. He shook his head, his fear palpable. "You are in Ravenshadow," Lord Ottai said, coming up behind the scarred Lord. Ravenshadow? The Ravenshadow!? No, by the Light, this cannot be happening. "R-Ravenshadow Citadel? The home of the f-four grand rulers of the Urekais. The Whispering Abyss of great power?" Emeriel blurted out, unable to contain his terror any longer. Lord Ottai snorted. "That is what humans call it. We do not. But yes, you are correct. You are in the Ravenshadow Citadel, Prince Emeriel." "You do not need me to inform you that this is the most secure place in Urai, with vast lands in which you could get lost in if you attempt to escape." Lord Vladya smirked. "A vortex that would swallow you, never to be seen again. There is no escape from Ravenshadow." Emeriel heard their words, but his mind was consumed by a far greater fear. "The four grand rulers of the Urekais reside here?" Emeriel mused, dreadfully. "They do." Lord Ottai sounded mildly amused, drawing Emeriel's attention. Emeriel had no idea he'd said that out loud. Inching closer to Lord Ottai-He seemed the less intimidating and a preferable choice in that moment-Emeriel threw weary glances at the scarred lord. "I have heard rumors about Urekai." "What exactly did you hear?" Lord Ottai asked. "They are said to be deadly, unpredictable and almost feral in their actions." " Emeriel listed off on his fingers as he rambled. "Their mating habits are said to be as brutal as their killings, and while they have bl**dhosts, they prefer to drain humans' bl**d. And, after their king ran wild, they-" "Terrific. Just what I needed to hear," Lord Vladya added in a dry tone. Lord Ottai, still somewhat amused, spoke up, "I will leave the briefing to Lord Vladya. I need to attend to the council." What!? Please do not leave me with him! Emeriel almost shouted. But he bit his lips hard, restraining himself. Lord Vladya, however, did not hold back. "Think again, Lord Ottai. There is no way I will-" "Would you prefer Lord Zaiper handle the briefing then?" Lord Ottai asked quietly. A muscle twitched on Lord Vladya's jaw and he gave Emeriel a hard look, as if actually considering the option. Lord Ottai must have picked up on that, quickly adding, "You know you don't want that to happen. Besides, let us not forget the favor you owe me. Remember that?" Lord Vladya glared at him, and Lord Ottai offered a wolfish smile. "I believe it's time to collect. You do the briefing. Off I go." With that, Lord Ottai strode away, exuding an air of sophistication with every step. Finally, Emeriel and Lord Vladya stood facing each other. "Come." Lord Vladya began walking, and Emeriel fell into step behind him. "Forget whatever rumors may have spread in the human realm. Some may hold a grain of truth, but most are truly bizarre." Lord Vladya looked mildly annoyed. "However, I will not delve into the vast knowledge of our kind, for it is too extensive to cover. Instead, I will share the parts that pertain to your sister's presence here." Emeriel braced himself. "Five hundred years ago, and even before that, my people and humans coexisted peacefully. Grand King Daemonikai made sure of that." Grand King Daemonikai. The mere mention of the name had goosebumps spreading on Emeriel's skin, knees quaking in barely-concealed fear. One of the oldest Urekai to have ever existed, his reputation was known throughout the world, even to a child born in present times. He wasn't just one of the four rulers, he was the very first. The ultimate ruler. His power and strength were legendary. Some even suggested he couldn't be k*lled. That name, Daemonikai, was one that struck terror into the hearts of every species existing in this world. "His son, Alvin, made friends with a human prince." Lord Vladya continued. "During a conversation over a glass of champagne, Alvin, in a drunken state, told the prince the secrets of our people. The Eclipse Moon night." "A night when the Urekai were naturally stripped of their power and strength by the moon, right?" Emeriel asked, wondering if the rumors were true. "It comes every five hundred years, rendering you lots incredibly weak. Weaker than a newborn baby. Vulnerable to attack." The scarred Urekai stopped and eyed Emeriel, nodding before walking again. "What Alvin didn't know was the prince's father used his son to gather information about us. King Memphis had his eyes set on our land. To make a long story short, the humans breached our defenses and attacked us on the Eclipse Moon night, inflicting significant damage upon our kingdom." A shadow crossed Lord Vladya's eyes. "Many of our people were killed. The survival of the Urekai was largely due to the efforts of the four rulers, particularly Daemonikai." He looked distant, as if he could see that night playing out before him. "Daemonikai exerted every ounce of his strength to save his people. Sacrificed everything he had...knowing the consequences it would bring." Consequences? Emeriel suddenly felt bad. The humans regarded that night as a victory. Talked about it as a great achievement. But hearing it now, it was nothing short of barbaric. "After that night, everything changed," Lord Vlayda said. "Many Urekai lost their bondmates and children. Those who remained were hardened by the loss. Even our revenge did nothing to ease the pain in our hearts." "Your kind almost decimated the human population, forcing many into hiding." Emeriel couldn't keep the bitterness off his tone. "The Urekai took numerous slaves and nearly depleted the human lands of their females. And it did nothing?" As those chilling eyes once again stared at him. Emeriel snapped his mouth shut. "Then, Grand King Daemonikai gave in to his beast and went mad. His mind was completely lost, has remained so for the past five hundred years. The very people he sacrificed everything to protect are now in danger from him." Lord Vladya turned a corner. "The beast breaks free periodically, going on ruthless, brutal killing sprees. To prevent further loss, the beast is confined here in Ravenshadow." Okay... that sounded like a good idea. What was the problem? "But, confinement alone is not enough. Our inner beasts require two basic substance to survive: bl**d and s*x," Lord Vladya surveyed Emeriel with a piercing gaze. "And that is where your sister comes in." Emeriel grew unease. He did not like where this was going. "Princess Aekeira will fulfill the beast's s*xual needs. That is why she was acquired. As for you, since I have no use for you, both of you belong to the beast," Lord Vladya asserted firmly. "What?" The disbelieving whisper tore from Emeriel. "Surely, y-you can't mean that." "Tell Princess Aekeira to present to the beast. If she presents well, who knows? She might survive another day. I care little for the outcome." Emeriel collapsed to his knees, tears blurring his vision. "Please, Lord Vladya, don't subject her to this. To be a s*xual slave? To a beast...the king's beast? My sister will die!!" He screamed, his words tainted with anger. Lord Vladya did not bat an eyelash. "Good luck trying to run away from Ravenshadow. For every attempt, you will be met with fifty lashes of the whip." With that, he turned on his heel, stridingpassed terror, and Emeriel surged after him, but the Urekai soldiers blocked his path. "Who do you think you are!?" Emeriel screamed. "Do you consider yourself so all-powerful that you can dictate the fate of living beings!? You are nothing more than beasts! You're a monster, Lord Vladya!" Lord Vladya halted at the doorway, casting a glance over his shoulder. "That is a compliment, human prince. And to you, it is Grand Lord Vladya." Emeriel froze. Grand Lord? As in, one of the four rulers of the Urekai, that GRAND LORD!? Holy light-gods, we're doomed. Chapter 6 SERVING THE BEAST The night had descended upon them. Aekeira's face turned pale upon hearing everything from Emeriel. She had not uttered a single word in hours. Instead, tears streamed down her eyes. Emeriel could hardly recognize Aekeira after the "treatment" Livia had given her. Aekeira was incredibly beautiful, well-groomed, and all dressed up in that scanty piece of nothing. He despised the purpose behind her transformation and dreaded the impending arrival of the Urekai guards, who would soon take her away. "Let us escape," Emeriel suggested urgently. "This place is vast, and-" Aekeira shook her head. "I cannot risk your life, Em. Grand Lord Vladya warned you about the severe consequences of attempting to escape. Moreover, if we're caught, they will undoubtedly discover your secret when they strip you down to whip you. It is simply not an option." Emeriel approached his sister and shook her firmly. "Pull yourself together, Aekeira! You will be forced to serve a UREKAI in its BEAST FORM! One that has lost its sanity and has remained feral for over five hundred years! You cannot subject yourself to such a fate! You will die if you do this!" he screamed. "We have no other choice!" Aekeira screamed right back, "I will not put you in danger, Emeriel. Can't you understand? You are my younger sister. Our parents risked everything to protect you, and I will do everything in my power to do the same. Not because you are a burden, but because I am your elder sister, and I love you dearly!" Emeriel bit his lip, struggling to hold back tears. "And who will protect you, Aekeira? Who will ensure your safety?" Aekeira's desperate arms grasped Emeriel, as she gazed into his eyes. "They must never discover you are a girl, Emeriel. Never! Neither the humans nor the Urekais must find out." The door swung open, announcing Livia's return, accompanied by the young girl, Amie, and another group of Urekai soldiers. "It is time. Let us proceed," Livia declared as her eyes widened. "It is inadvisable for you to touch her now. You do not want to leave your scent on her. Release her immediately." "What do you mean? What will happen if I touch my sister?" Emeriel asked, quickly pulling away. "The beast must not detect any other scent on her. If it smells a scent it hates, it may become even more brutal–might even tear her apart. That is why you must not touch her, Emeriel." Livia nodded for the men to escort Aekeira out of the room, and Emeriel followed. The journey was long and silent, involving a lot of twists and turns. They passed by human slaves and Urekai maids within the vast fortress, but as they approached their destination, the faces grew scarce, and the surroundings became eerily quiet. Fear and goosebumps crept over Emeriel as they entered a haunting corridor. A strange sensation fell over Emeriel, and the silence became almost deafening. It felt as though they were walking through a graveyard. "This is as far as we go," Livia whispered at the entrance of the hallway. You can proceed from here, Aekeira." Emeriel ignored the head maid's words about not touching his sister and gripped Aekeira's arm tightly. "Don't do it," he pleaded, shaking his head vehemently. Aekeira did not turn to look at him, as she gently pulled her hand away and continued forward. ** Back at their chambers, Emeriel began to pace. He scratched his arm, feeling restless and irritable. All he wanted was for his sister to remain alive until the next day. Whether she was wounded or in pain, it didn't matter, as long as she was alive. It might have been selfish of him, but he couldn't bring himself to care. But as he paced, Emeriel felt really, really strange. Hot. So hot. As if he was burning from the inside... ......

No 2025-03-02 02:54 active 2674 0 🔞😍Click here to Read on More Spicy Chapters👉👉👉 "Females usually only soothe their own spouses." "Because the method of soothing is... mating." His eyes turned a golden as he stared at her. "I can't wait any longer." ---------------- Chapter 1 Dimention-Hopping Deep in a lush, ancient forest, three suns blazed high in the sky, their golden rays piercing through the dense plants. Sunlight dappled the forest floor and scattered across the pale, delicate face of Nyx Voss. Her slight and frail frame curled up in sleep spoke volumes that her body was starved of nourishment, and her soul was desperate for safety. Nearby, a magnificent tiger lounged lazily and looked like a silent guardian to the fragile figure. Not far off, a sprawling wolf pack kept a vigilant watch. The alpha perched closest to Nyx, its piercing vertical pupils betraying an unexpected softness as they lingered on her. In the shadows of the underbrush, several sleek leopards prowled quietly, their sharp eyes sweeping the surroundings, poised to defend against any threat to Nyx's peaceful slumber. Then, something happened. The deafening roar of engines shattered the tranquility, sending flocks of birds scattering into the sky and small creatures scurrying for cover. A massive spacecraft began its descent, breaking through the tree line and sending shockwaves of unease rippling through the forest. Yet the wild beasts surrounding Nyx held their ground. They showed their dangerous teeth and made low snarls in their throats, as if they had turned on the battle mode to drive this metallic intruder out of their territory. The ship landed with a mechanical hiss, its bulk settling on the ground. The hatch opened, and a squad of heavily armed soldiers emerged in formation, their boots crunching against the forest floor. They moved with practiced precision. Their mission was to extract the precious resources owned by the empire's military on this planet. This was a long-term mission and almost like routine work for the soldiers. Yet today, they stumbled onto something they couldn't have prepared for. "Uh... Are those... wild beasts?" one soldier murmured, staring slack-jawed at the surreal sight. "Tigers, wolves, and leopards? What kind of wild soap opera is this?" another added incredulously. It didn't take a zoologist to know that different species didn't make friends, and those apex wild beasts would never show up in the same picture. By nature, they were highly territorial and should have been at each other's throats upon meeting. Yet here they were, coexisting in an oddly harmonious way. "Look! They're circling something. Is it some kind of treasure?" one of them whispered. Speculation ran wild as they squinted into the cluster of animals. 'Is it some kind of rare mineral? Or maybe some valuable plants attract these beasts to guard them?' The soldiers edged closer, trying not to provoke an attack. The beasts became more bristled. They kept making low growls to stop the soldiers from approaching them. But then, through the gaps in the protective circle, the soldiers finally caught a glimpse of what lay in the middle. "Holy shit! That's... a female," one soldier shouted. "A female! Oh my! Am I dreaming?" another stammered, as if they'd just spotted a unicorn in a city park. Someone else asked, "This is insane! What the hell is a female doing on a Primitive Planet?" "Everybody, chill. Let's drive the wild beasts away. Don't let them hurt her," someone else chimed in. The soldiers tread carefully, opting not to use their weapons. They didn't want to wreck the planet's ecosystem or risk harming this unexpected discovery. Finally, after a few tense exchanges of growls and gestures, the beasts seemed to decide the soldiers weren't a threat. They exchanged looks, shot Nyx a few glances, and reluctantly melted into the forest. Just then, the soldiers realized that the group of wild beasts didn't mean to hurt that female but to protect her. "That was incredible," one of the soldiers sighed. "I can't wrap my head around it. Are those really just low-IQ wild beasts, not beastmen or something?" asked another man. "Damn, we might need to file a report on that. Somebody's gonna have to reclassify those species," someone else commented. For now, though, their priority was clear: get the female to somewhere safe. The mining task could wait. The spacecraft roared back to life and lifted off, carrying Nyx to their base. The moment the supreme commander of the base, General Theon Lane, heard about the rescue, he came straight to check on the female and wasted no time in sending a detailed report to the higher-ups. "She's in bad shape," muttered Zayne Larsen, the base's lead physician, as he flipped through Nyx's medical results. His face was a storm cloud of worry. "Her bone age tells she's barely twenty. She's severely malnourished, and she's covered in old scars..." "This has all the signs of a brutal abuse case," Zayne added, his voice cold with fury. "The planet she was found on is classified as a non-inhabited Resource Planet," he continued. "The soldiers said she was surrounded by wild beasts. "This isn't just abuse. Someone left her to die on that planet! It's a straight-up attempted murder of a female!" Hearing that, Theon was furious. He stood by the medical pod and looked down at the peacefully sleeping girl inside. Her delicate face was as small as his palm. Her pointed chin held a faint blush of pink. She was tiny, and her fragile frame was almost like a trembling flower bud on a windy branch—so delicate and soft that it seemed like a single touch might shatter her. She was so weak and heartbreakingly beautiful. It wasn't hard to imagine countless males would be willing to lay down their lives to protect her. The empire's current gender ratio was an alarming 1 to 79, and it was only getting worse. Under such dire circumstances, someone had the audacity to abandon a female. It was beyond disgraceful. In the medical pod, Nyx's lashes fluttered, and then she slowly opened her eyes. Her head felt light and fuzzy. The sensation wasn't new to her. Years of malnourishment had left her with severe hypoglycemia, and passing out had become routine. She remembered that she was summoned home by her grandmother before she passed out this time. She came home straight from work, only to find out her family had arranged for her to marry a greasy and potbellied man who had a marriage before. Apparently, they'd already pocketed 150 thousand dollars as a wedding gift from that man. Nyx refused their arrangement, of course, but it was too late. Her family locked her in the house for a week with no food or no way out. Seeing she still didn't compromise to register the marriage, they decided to ship her straight to the guy's place and let him settle the matter himself. On the way, Nyx finally managed to escape, but her empty stomach caught up with her. She hadn't made it far before collapsing. Looking around, Nyx wondered, 'Where the hell am I? Did they catch me? Is this that creep's house?' Her gaze flicked around the cold and clean room. It felt like a ward, with strange machines she couldn't recognize. She was lying inside one of those machines. Across the room, two men were talking, and they noticed she was awake. Zayne, in the white coat, strode over and opened the pod. His eyes were warm with concern as he asked, "Thank goodness, you're finally awake. Ma'am, do you feel unwell anywhere?" Though the stranger was way more good-looking than the actors she had seen on TV, Nyx still shrank back instinctively. Noticing her reaction, Zayne immediately looked regretful. He lowered his head slightly and spoke as gently as he could, trying to show he meant no harm. "You can calm down. "This is the 286th White Tiger Regiment. I'm Zayne Larsen, the lead physician here. You've been rescued. No one will hurt you again." Nyx blinked her eyes at Zayne and thought, 'Since when did arranged marriages warrant military involvement?' But almost immediately, she felt something was off. She had never heard of any White Tiger Regiment. And this physician guy wasn't just nice—he was almost respectful, like she was some big deal. She was just an ordinary citizen. Growing up in a family like that, she even lived a worse life than many. She didn't believe such an excellent man would treat her so respectfully. Her eyes darted past Zayne to the other man in the room. With just a simple glance, Nyx couldn't help but scream in her mind, 'Holy hell! This guy is so tall!' He looked easily over 6'3'', with a build that was towering and powerful. He stood ramrod straight in a military uniform, a cap perched neatly on his head. His sharp golden-blond hair and piercing amber eyes gave him the air of a lion, commanding and unyielding. This commanding man bowed slightly toward Nyx and said, "I'm Theon Lane, major general and supreme commander of this base. May I have the honor of knowing your name?" The pieces of information snapped together, and Nyx realized what was going on. She wasn't in her world anymore. She had somehow traveled to another one. Chapter 2 Females Rule, Males Serve The news that the female rescued from the Primitive Planet was awake spread through the base like wildfire. Everyone was buzzing with excitement. This base housed over 30,000 people—all male beastmen of soldiers and logistics personnel without a single female. By law in this empire, females weren't allowed anywhere near dangerous locations like this. Nyx was the first female to set foot in this military base over the years. Even though most of the males hadn't seen her in person, they all knew her name by heart. They thought Nyx was a beautiful name. It sounded like it belonged to someone equally stunning. Nyx was immediately scheduled to leave for the Central Planet Female Protection Association, escorted personally by Theon and Zayne. They weren't taking any chances with her safety and assigned her to the most secure spaceship available. "On the spaceship, Nyx's room was conveniently close to Theon's. The moment she stepped into her room, she froze. The place was breathtaking." Warm light filtered through soft curtains, casting a cozy glow over the lightweight bedding. A small bedside lamp and a vase of dried flowers added a delicate touch to the atmosphere, while the faint scent of a soothing fragrance filled the air. It was the exact opposite of the cold vibe she'd expected from that military camp. "This is... my room?" Nyx asked, unable to believe it. Misreading her expression as dissatisfaction, Theon quickly apologized. "It was a last-minute setup by my adjutant. I know it's a bit plain. Please endure it for now. If there's anything you need, just let me know." "It's... not plain at all," Nyx murmured, shaking her head as she stepped inside. She touched one of the soft cushions on the sofa and felt a complicated mix of emotions surge within her. All her life, she had dreamed of having a warm and safe room to call her own. But it had always seemed out of reach—a luxury she could never afford. During her growth, she'd been branded a "money sink", dropped out of school to work, and struggled to scrape by while her earnings were snatched away to buy her younger brother clothes, gadgets, and even a tablet. Now, faced with the reality of her long-held dream, it all felt surreal. To be fair, everything that had happened since she woke up felt like a dream. "Could I get some books to read? There's so much I need to figure out," Nyx asked after snapping out of her thoughts. Her request caught Theon off guard for a second, but then he quickly realized something. He knew the little girl had lost her memory. Aside from her name, Nyx remembered nothing, not the people who abused and abandoned her, not where she came from. Zayne had theorized it might be self-protective amnesia, triggered by her trauma. Theon thought it made sense, especially since Nyx had been visibly afraid of them when she first woke up. Whatever she'd been through was likely at the hands of males. Guilt and protectiveness swirled in Theon's chest. He gave Nyx a solemn nod and replied, "Absolutely. Whatever you need, I'll make sure you have it." Soon, an assortment of books was delivered to her room, including illustrated audiobooks aimed at younger audiences, which were easy to digest even if her memory failed her. Having had enough sleep, Nyx shut her door and dove headfirst into the stack of books, eager to understand this strange new world. She soon realized this was a vast interstellar empire, stretching across eight star systems and countless planets. Earth's technology couldn't hold a candle to what she read here. The citizens on this planet weren't like humans on Earth either. They were beastmen. According to the records, male beastmen had possessed two forms since ancient times—human form and beast form. They were powerful warriors, fiercely protective and capable of incredible combat. The females, on the other hand, wielded something called "mental power", which could calm males and prevent them from losing control and permanently shifting into their beast forms. Now, in the age of interstellar exploration, beastmen had conquered new frontiers and developed advanced medicine, with an average lifespan of 500 years. Among the planets, they were one of the most powerful high civilizations. But even they had a problem, a threatening crisis—Females were growing increasingly rare. The gender ratio was becoming alarmingly skewed. The empire had even dabbled in ethically controversial projects, attempting to create artificial females. But the results were disheartening—artificial females couldn't awaken mental power, and worse, their offspring often couldn't take human form at all and remained purely beast. After countless tragedies, the empire had no choice but to shut down its artificial female research program. Instead, they turned to fiercely protecting natural females, enforced strict laws to ensure their safety, and heavily promoted polyandry. At first, there were still criminals trying to enslave and exploit females, but as the empire cracked down hard and tightened the protections of females, the status of females rose higher and higher—until they were practically worshipped. The balance had completely tipped: Females ruled in this civilization, and males served. Nyx finally understood why Theon and Zayne treated her so respectfully despite their obvious authority and power. It wasn't because of who she was but because she was recognized as a female. Nyx's eyes widened, and she felt a mix of shock and disbelief. But it also made sense. No matter how strong or capable a male beastman was, they all depended on the mental power of females to keep them from losing control. Without it, they'd devolve into mindless beasts, unable to return to their human forms. Nyx realized how vital mental power was to those males, and she touched her nose with guilt, thinking she didn't deserve their treatment. She was an ordinary human, not a real female beastman. She didn't think she had any mental power at all. Later during dinner, Nyx asked Zayne about the mental power thing. "Do I... have mental power?" Zayne, who was taking his nutrient drink, suddenly paused his movement. He then glanced at Theon with a faintly accusing look. Theon immediately shook his head in protest, silently explaining he didn't say anything to Nyx. Zayne took a sigh and put his drink down to explain, "No, you don't. Mental power usually awakens by the age of 18, and since you're already 20, it's safe to say your mental power didn't awaken." Seeing her expression falter, Zayne added, "You don't need to worry about it too much. Around 20% of females in the empire never awaken their mental power, but trust me, you're just as precious as any of them." Zayne didn't lie to her. Though females with strong mental power held high status, those without it were still cherished as treasures on this planet. The next day, Nyx arrived at the Central Planet Female Protection Association, where she was greeted like royalty. The fanfare and attention were overwhelming, which was leagues beyond what Earth's biggest celebrities ever experienced. The staff at the association ran another full medical exam for Nyx. When they confirmed she had no mental power, their attitudes didn't change a bit. They still treated her like the center of their universe and escorted her through the process of registering as an official citizen of their empire. Nyx handed her medical report to a young male and flashed him a polite smile. "Thank you." The male's face instantly turned bright red. He held his breath, frozen in place, until Nyx moved on to the next step. Only then did he exhale and cover his chest like he'd just survived a heart attack. "Geeze, she's adorable," he murmured with a dreamy expression. Females in this empire were often spoiled, and they were either crusty or timid that they barely showed those males any smiles. Nyx's gentle demeanor and soft smile were rare, almost unheard of. "Too bad she didn't awaken her mental power," the male sighed. "If she had, I'd be chasing after her in a heartbeat." "Come on, get real," his coworker teased. "She's so gorgeous and sweet. Even without mental power, she's not gonna run out of suitors anytime soon. You're definitely not on her radar." The coworker added with a smirk, "Besides, malnutrition can affect mental power awakening. If she gets healthy, she might have a second awakening." "Second awakening? Come on, man. It's rarer than a blue moon. Maybe one case every century." "Yeah, you're probably right." ***** "Nyx, meanwhile, was blissfully unaware of the conversation. She was waiting for her turn to input her information when a wave of dizziness hit her. The room spun around her, and she had to grab something to steady herself." As her vision swam, a line from the books she'd read yesterday came back to her: Intermittent dizziness is one of the key symptoms before mental power awakens. Chapter 3 Two Guardians The thought of mental power awakening flashed through Nyx's mind but was quickly forgotten. "Ms. Voss, your personal information has been uploaded to the system. From today, you're officially a citizen of this empire. Whenever you need to verify your identity, just scan your iris," the clerk explained. Nyx accepted the bracelet-like device, called Intelligent Brain, and tapped it to check her profile. Her name, gender, age, height, weight, health score, and other information were all neatly displayed. But then she noticed the section for her spouse's information. It said "None", and right next to it was a spouse applications counter, which was ticking up fast. Nyx furrowed her brows and thought, 'Is this thing broken? How could there be so many people applying to be my spouse?' "What's with this number?" she asked, pointing at the screen. The clerk said with a calm, almost rehearsed tone, "Since you don't have a spouse, your profile is automatically set to accept applications from eligible unmarried males. "You can choose one main consort and any secondary consorts you like. You'll be their matron, and they'll serve as your protectors, providing for your every need—housing, food, safety—everything. Their lives will be devoted to you." Nyx's face instantly turned awkward, and she asked, "Is this... mandatory?" The clerk sensed her displeasure and bowed in apology while explaining, "Not at all. The empire would never force a female to marry, I assure you. But for your safety, unmarried females are required to have at least three guardians." Apparently, most females ended up marrying their guardians anyway, but as long as it wasn't a forced arrangement, Nyx could accept it. She wasn't in any hurry to think about marriage now. Her recent experiences had left her with a pretty big mental block on the subject. Nyx glanced at Theon and Zayne, the two who had been by her side through everything so far. She bit her lip, hesitating. She barely knew anyone in this world, and she couldn't help but feel attached to them. Zayne, understanding her unspoken thoughts, stepped forward and said, "Ms. Voss, if you allow it, I'd be honored to be one of your guardians." Theon followed immediately and said in a sincere tone, "I'd like to be your guardian as well." Nyx nodded again and again but said no words. Seeing the scene, Zayne showed a gentle smile. It was a rare sight that softened his usually sharp and serious features. His calm, almost frosty demeanor melted away, and his smile was like the first warm breeze after winter. He took Nyx's hand and bowed slightly to press a light kiss to Nyx's fingertips. Theon did the same, gently kissing her other hand with a reverence that made her blush. "Does this mean we're... family now?" Nyx asked with a shy expression and mustered her courage. "Can you both stop being so formal with me? Just relax a bit." All the words like "Ms. Voss" and "honored" they said to her made her feel embarrassed. Overhearing those words, other males nearby exchanged envious glances and thought, 'How sweet this female is. These two guys really hit the jackpot.' Once the registration was finalized, the clerk reminded Nyx, "You have one month to find a third guardian. If you don't register someone by then, the system will automatically assign one for you." Nyx figured she had plenty of time, so she didn't stress about it. After that, the three of them left for Jade Garden, one of the most renowned fine-dining restaurants on Central Planet, to have lunch. In this age, culinary art had taken a backseat. Most people preferred nutrient drinks over actual food. Nyx had already experienced one forgettable meal on the spaceship—a dinner so awful that she barely managed to choke it down. Thus, she chose to have a nutrient drink for breakfast today, a peach-flavored one. It tasted sweet, though there was a weird aftertaste that reminded her it wasn't real fruit. Still, it was better than last night's disaster. She originally thought the food in the military cafeteria was terrible and had hoped for something better in the restaurant. However, when she arrived at Jade Garden, reality hit her hard that this planet had no good food at all. She swallowed a bite of a dry, flavorless steak and blinked back tears of disappointment. Compared to the military food, the only difference was the price. The food in the restaurant was ridiculously expensive and still just as bad. She'd been shocked at the menu prices when they ordered, but now that the food was in front of her, she felt outright scammed. Both Theon and Zayne, watching her closely, instantly picked up on her dissatisfaction. Theon leaned in and said in a low voice, "If you don't like it, pass it to me. Want to try something else? Or maybe we can find another place." Zayne poured her a glass of grape juice and slid it over with quiet patience, waiting for her to give the word. Nyx took the drink and flashed a sweet smile as she glanced at Zayne. Then, after a moment's thought, she leaned closer to Theon, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I don't want meat anymore. I'd like some vegetables." She had no idea how utterly adorable she was to those males when she whispered like this. Many prying eyes were fixed on her from every corner of the restaurant. Ever since she entered the restaurant, countless males had been attracted by Nyx's pretty face and had gotten excited. Theon felt her warm breath brush against his ear, and his sharp senses nearly short-circuited. The battle-hardened young general suddenly found his ears burning red, and heat spread all the way to his face. He stood stiffly, ordered several vegetable dishes, and returned to his seat. His movement earned himself a light "thanks" from Nyx. Nyx discreetly slid the rest of her dry, tasteless steak onto Theon and Zayne's plates. In exchange, she made them an earnest promise. "I'll cook for you guys someday." Every male in the restaurant who'd been sneaking glances at her looked ready to explode with jealousy. A nearby live-streamer, known for reviewing high-end restaurants, happened to capture the moment on camera. Suddenly, their small audience began skyrocketing in numbers—not for the food, but for the stunning female on-screen. [Hey, man! Zoom in, will ya?!] [Who is she? Geeze, she's adorable. And she said thanks! To a male!] [Wait, wait, wait... She promised to cook for them? I'm dying. How can they be so lucky?] [She's so sweet. Honestly, the kitchen's too dangerous for a female like her. Let the males handle it. We all learned cooking as a mandatory course!] [Yeah, she even smiles at them. My matron hasn't smiled at me in ages, let alone cooked or mentally soothed me.] [At least your matron doesn't whip you with a belt whenever she's annoyed.] [You guys shut up. I don't even have a matron.] [No female has ever talked to me, aside from my mom.] [Oh, poor me...] What started as admiration for Nyx quickly spiraled into a pity party in the chat. ["You're all missing the point! Look at the males she's with. That's Theon Lane! He's a general at such a young age. And another guy is the talented physician, Zayne Larsen. He was already very popular when he was at Imperial Military Academy.] [Theon always keeps a low key, but I heard his uncle's none other than Felix Lane. Their beast forms are both the lion.] [No freaking way. Felix Lane, the War God Marshal? I'm a big fan of him!] [Well, he indeed has an amazing background...] [Theon's not the only big deal. Zayne's an absolute genius. He owned several patents at the Imperial Military Academy. He's the guy who helped design the most widely-used medical pods today.] Zayne didn't have a good background like Theon, yet he still won a large group of fans due to his own ability. [Don't forget Zayne was already famous as a self-taught apothecary before he even got into the academy. A female once tried to pursue him, right? Could it be this female?] [No, that was Astraea Lynn.] Many females, enjoying living in the spotlight, would post something on social media to attract males's attention. Astraea was one of those females, and she had gained a pretty big fan base. [Astraea? Oh my! I think she's at Jade Garden right now too!] Nyx was quietly sipping her grape juice when she noticed a female, dressed far too extravagantly for the setting, stomping toward their table. Her face was twisted in fury. "ZAYNE! Good for you! Hiding out as a military physician in the middle of nowhere to avoid me, huh? And now you became someone else's spouse! Is this your way of humiliating me?" the female snapped. Without waiting for a response, she raised her hand, clearly ready to slap Zayne. Nyx immediately stepped in front of Zayne and caught Astraea's wrist. With a quick twist, Nyx pinned Astraea's arm behind her back, holding her firmly in place. The livestream erupted with more discussions! Chapter 4 Male Deserve Dignity [I take my comment back. This is the strongest female I've ever seen!] [She's so cute, but damn, she's fierce!] The males in the restaurant stayed frozen in place, unsure of what to do. Astraea, meanwhile, yelped in pain when Nyx gripped her wrist. Nyx released her, but Astraea wasn't done yet. She glared at Nyx and tried to kick her. Nyx dodged effortlessly. Astraea's foot swung through empty air, throwing her off balance, and she tumbled forward in a very ungraceful heap. By now, the livestream's viewership had skyrocketed, far surpassing the usual numbers for top streamers. The streamer, torn between fear and greed, kept filming despite the chaos. More viewers were drawn in by the commotion. What they saw completely surprised them. [Am I hallucinating, or are two females really fighting?!] [That's not a fight. It's called self-defense.] [But wasn't Astraea trying to hit Zayne first?] Zayne was a male, and in this society, males were at the bottom of the food chain. If a female hit a male, he had to take it. If he dared fight back, he'd be slapped with assault charges and spend at least ten years in prison. Astraea, furious after her double humiliation, finally remembered she wasn't alone. She turned to her companions and shouted, "You're just gonna sit there and watch me get bullied?!" They were two secondary consorts Astraea had just taken, a pair of brothers. The two of them seemed awkward now and hesitated. As Astraea's consorts, they were supposed to defend her, to fight for her honor. But the person standing opposite Astraea was another female, a more petite and delicate female who radiated an air of vulnerability. Even if they were willing to risk the consequences of hitting a female, they couldn't bring themselves to raise a hand against Nyx. She looked too fragile, like she might break if they even tried. Seeing their hesitation, Astraea took a shaky breath and burst into tears. Nyx blinked, caught completely off guard. Honestly, this was the easiest fight she'd ever been in. She'd never seen someone so high-maintenance, so full of temper, and yet so utterly harmless. After a moment's hesitation, Nyx pulled a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it over to Astraea. It was one she'd sewn herself with a little sunflower embroidered in the corner. Astraea snatched it without a word and wiped her face, glaring at Nyx between sniffles. Her pride was in shreds. Through her tears, Astraea's voice trembled with indignation. "Unbelievable! You hit me for a male?!" To Astraea, this was absurd. Females were meant to be above everything. Males, no matter their rank or status, were beneath them. And yet, that strange female sided with a male and humiliated her. Nyx raised a finger, her voice steady and firm. "First of all, I didn't hit you. I just stopped you from hitting him. "Second, everyone deserves dignity, and it has nothing to do with their gender. You feel humiliated because I stopped you, but how do you think Zayne would've felt if you slapped him in front of all these people? Does he not deserve respect? "And third..." Nyx's gaze turned sharp. "To me, you're just a stranger. But Zayne is my family. If you try to hurt him in front of me, of course I'm going to protect him." Astraea froze, staring at Nyx. This small, delicate female had spoken with a confidence and presence that left her completely stunned. The livestream chat went wild, and the viewers went crazy. [WHO IS SHE?! I need her name!"] [She's amazing! I'm obsessed!!!] ["Of course I'm going to protect him." Someone put that on repeat for me, please!] [She says males deserve respect. I'm so moved.] [I want her to call me family. I want her to protect me too.] [By the Beast God above, I swear I'll follow her in my lifetime. No other female will ever compare to her.] The livestream chat was exploding with comments. Viewers practically wanted to crawl through their screens to confess their love to this incredible female. Meanwhile, Theon got a message from a friend. Only then did he know the livestream had a massive audience. "His sharp eyes scanned the crowd and locked onto the streamer. He immediately gave that guy a cold, warning glare. Theon exchanged a quick glance with Zayne, and they both made the decision to get Nyx out of here." As they escorted her away, Astraea was now back with her consorts. She clutched the handkerchief tightly, staring at Nyx's retreating figure. For once, she didn't throw another tantrum. Inside the spacecraft, Zayne took the seat to Nyx's left. His gaze lingered on her profile, unable to look away. The image of her standing in front of him, shielding him, and those words she said to defend him replayed in his mind on an endless loop. His heart pounded relentlessly, like a drumbeat that refused to pause. Nyx could feel the weight of his stare, but she pretended not to notice. By nature, she was introverted, and now that the adrenaline had worn off, embarrassment started to creep in. At the restaurant, she acted on impulse, letting her emotions take over. But now, sitting quietly in the spacecraft, all she could think about was how over-the-top she must have looked. Her toes curled in her shoes as the awkwardness consumed her. After a few minutes of this unbearable tension, she finally couldn't hold back. She turned to Zayne and blurted, "Why are you staring at me like that?" Zayne was silent for a moment. Then, instead of answering, he said something completely unexpected, "I'm an orphan. I grew up on H973—a Desolate Planet." After he struggled to leave that planet, he had never talked about his past with anyone. Nyx was the very first person to make him open his heart. Zayne continued, "Desolate Planet is a place where resources have dried up. Most people leave if they can, but those who stay behind only face chaos. Crime, violence, and death are everywhere. There's no future, no hope." Nyx tried to picture it. It was probably like some of Earth's most dangerous regions, where even tourists risked losing their organs if they weren't careful. "That's incredible," she said, her voice full of genuine admiration. "You made it out of a place like that and became so excellent." Coming from a tough background herself, Nyx understood how much intelligence, determination, and sheer grit it took to claw one's way out of that kind of life. Hearing her compliment, Zayne smiled. It wasn't his usual polite, distant smile. This was different—warmer and softer. His gold-rimmed glasses, normally a shield that kept others from seeing the real him, couldn't hide the emotion in his eyes. It was like winter thawing into spring. For years, Zayne had carried the weight of his past alone. He'd fought tooth and nail to rise above it, enduring countless hardships and sneers from people who looked down on his origins. He had seen the ugliest sides of humanity, yet he never let it break him. Even though he treated females with the respect society demanded, deep down, he refused to submit to someone like Astraea. He wouldn't let himself be trampled on or used as a pawn in some petty power game. That was why he rejected Astraea and sought refuge in the military, choosing solitude over a life he couldn't respect. At first, his feelings toward Nyx were simple: he liked her and wanted to protect her. Agreeing to be her guardian hadn't been about romance or long-term plans. But now, things were changing. For the first time, Zayne found himself wanting more. He wanted to stay by Nyx's side forever. Nyx, meanwhile, was growing increasingly nervous under his intense gaze. She thought, 'He's not about to confess his feelings, is he?' Chapter 5 Popular Nyx Nyx and Zayne locked eyes, and the air between them instantly grew more ambiguous. It was clearly heading toward a confession. Nyx couldn't help but hold her breath. She had to admit that Zayne was incredibly, ridiculously handsome, with a top-tier job and a gentle personality. Over the time they'd spent together, she couldn't find a single flaw in him. But even if Zayne was the most perfect, tragic, and beautiful guy in the galaxy, she wasn't going to accept his confession. But she thought she might have misunderstood him. 'Okay, maybe I'm overthinking this. I'm definitely overthinking it.' Nyx mentally smacked herself. She was never this vain. Just then, Theon's Intelligent Brain chimed with an incoming message. That awkward atmosphere vanished instantly. All three pairs of eyes fell on Theon's Intelligent Brain. Theon frowned, glanced at the caller ID, pressed his lips together, and then declined the call without hesitation. Nyx let out a quiet sigh of relief, though she couldn't help but notice the pained look on Theon's face. He seemed a bit uneasy, like that unanswered call was weighing on him. She was concerned but didn't want to pry, especially since he wasn't saying anything about it. Taking advantage of the brief distraction, Zayne reached over and gently ruffled her hair, offering her a comforting smile. They soon arrived at their destination. Seeing Nyx distracted as she looked around the villa, Zayne casually asked Theon, "Was that Marshal Lane's call? Was it about Nyx?" Theon gave a curt nod but clearly wasn't in the mood to discuss it further. He quickly caught up to Nyx and guided her to her room. This villa had been purchased during Theon's teenage years when he was still at Imperial Military Academy. Since graduating and officially joining the military, no one had lived here. Before leaving the base for Central Planet yesterday, he had made sure to have the place cleaned and, for some reason, went ahead and bought a bunch of furniture and decor that he thought females would like. At that time, Nyx and he were still strangers who barely had exchanged a few words. He hadn't even become her guardian yet. It was all one-sided feelings. Theon, lying awake at night, fantasized about a future he hadn't yet had the courage to pursue. The youngest Major General of the empire, Theon Lane, was known for his ruthless prowess on the battlefield. But deep down, he was a completely hopeless romantic who had believed since childhood that true love was waiting for him someday. This was a secret he kept close to his chest, only his family knowing. Even if anyone else heard of that, they would think it was a laughable rumor. Theon flushed slightly as he showed Nyx the room with the best sunlight in the villa. The entire room was comfortable, easily three times the size of the temporary room on the spaceship. There was a walk-in closet, a bathroom, a small study—everything a person would need to live comfortably. While it wasn't overly decorated, all the essentials were there. The rest could be added gradually, depending on Nyx's preferences once she moved in. What Theon didn't admit to Nyx was that, when he first bought the villa, this room was the one that caught his eye. He had already decided back then that it would be for his future matron. And, of course, he intended to live next door. If he could ever get his matron's permission to spend the night in her room, that would be his ideal life. Nervously, Theon asked, "Do you like this room?" Nyx's eyes lit up, and she gave a joyful nod, which made Theon's heart swell with happiness. "If you like it, I'll transfer ownership of this villa to you," he added, a bit bashful but sincere. On this planet, it would be an honor for a male to give his home to the female he cared about. Nyx's jaw dropped, and she immediately shook her head. She thought to herself, 'Who just gives away a house like that? Is this some kind of weird culture, or does Theon just love being a sucker?' She couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. Things that seemed too good to be true usually were. Seeing Theon's slightly deflated look, she quickly tried to explain herself. It wasn't that she didn't like the room—it was just way too extravagant. She couldn't accept such a valuable gift. Although Theon looked a little disappointed, he respected her decision, silently vowing that one day, he'd make sure Nyx would accept his gift. The room still felt a little bare. Nyx pulled out her Intelligent Brain, deciding to browse the shopping platform for some things to spruce up the space. She remembered the clerk telling her that the empire provided a monthly allowance for each female, a hefty 10,000 StarCoins. Her allowance for this month had already been deposited when she registered as n citizen. As Nyx marveled at her effortless income of 10,000 StarCoins a month, she glanced at her personal account displayed on her Intelligent Brain. She stared at the numbers and counted for a few seconds, feeling completely confused. Nyx couldn't wrap her head around it. How the heck did she have so many followers on an account that didn't even have a single post? And the numbers were just climbing by the minute. What she didn't know was that the whole scene at Jade Garden restaurant had been live-streamed, drawing billions of viewers in real time. After the stream ended, word spread like wildfire, and even more people watched the replay. A huge chunk of those viewers, mostly males, had fallen head over heels for Nyx, and they soon became her most dedicated fans and suitors. Nyx even found her name trending on the social media. She nervously clicked on the hashtag and was immediately hit with a flood of praise—so much that she had to squint, feeling totally overwhelmed. She couldn't help but think that even top celebrities on Earth probably didn't have this kind of fan base and attention. It was crazy. She was getting tips from fans, and her account was now raking in an astronomical amount of StarCoins. But there were a few nasty comments creeping in here and there. In this era, everyone's personal information was out in the open, so it was easy for others to find her personal info based on a single live stream. Some questioned her lack of mental power, saying that Theon and Zayne weren't actually her spouses but just her temporary guardians. [Everyone knows that the only kind of males who choose a female with no mental power as a partner are the weak, herbivore-type beastmen. [They have a lower risk of bestialization, so they don't rely as much on the female's mental calming. As for General Lane and Dr. Larsen, if I'm not mistaken, both of them are carnivorous males, right?] [I think Nyx is trying to latch onto the big shots. How scheming.] [Big brain, no mental power? Doesn't make a difference.] Nyx clicked on those posts, and sure enough, they were all getting dragged with hundreds of thousands of replies tearing them apart. [Shut up! People with hearts see things clearly, but you guys only know how to spread dirt behind your screens. Come fight me, if you've got the guts. Address: xxxxxxx...] [So what even if she has no mental power? It doesn't change the fact that she's a rare gem, worthy of being loved by anyone.] [My beast form is the crocodile, a totally carnivore type. My annual salary's in the millions, and I'm willing to risk bestialization. I don't want any other females, just her!] [Crocodile? Please, I'm a leopard. Got a fortune, graduated from Imperial Business University, now running my own company. I'm financially free. I've already submitted my application to Nyx!] [If Theon and Zayne are too clueless to see how good she is, they can just get the hell out of the way. A billion males are waiting in line for their chance!] ***** In the next room, Theon was on a video call. The guy on the other side of the screen was a more mature-looking beastman, a little older than Theon. They looked strikingly similar, except his hair was black instead of gold, and his eyes were sharp and piercing. This was Theon's uncle—Felix Lane, the marshal. It was Felix's call that Theon had rejected earlier. "Theon, you know exactly what I'm about to say," said Felix in a serious tone. Theon stayed silent. "You're not a rebellious teenager anymore. Stop doing impulsive things." Felix's gaze hardened as he looked at his nephew through the screen. "You know, the last physical check-up shows your Loss of Control Index was already at 74." Felix flicked through the report in his hand and showed it to Theon. Felix continued, "Once it hits 80, you'll start shifting uncontrollably into beast form, and when you do, you won't even have any sense of reason left. You'll be a wild beast. "Once it reaches 90, not only will you shift into beast form intermittently, but you'll go full-on crazy and attack everyone around you. "And once you hit 100, you're done. You'll be a mad beast for the rest of your life, never returning to human form. And no one will be able to save you." Felix tossed the report aside and leaned closer to the screen, his voice low and intense. "You need mental calming. You absolutely cannot have Nyx as your spouse. She has no mental power." Chapter 6 Second Awakening Theon opened his mouth to argue but barely managed to say a no when a noise from the next room cut him off, followed by Zayne's frantic voice. He instantly jumped up and hurried over. "What's going on?" The moment he stepped in, he saw Nyx curled up in bed, eyes shut, while Zayne was digging through their medical supplies to carefully run some checkups on her. "Nykie took a fall. She said she suddenly felt really dizzy," Zayne explained, his tone full of concern. Theon didn't have the energy to wonder when Zayne had gotten close enough to start calling her "Nykie". "Why is she suddenly feeling dizzy again?" Theon asked, his brow furrowed. Before Zayne could answer, Felix's voice came through loud and clear. "Intermittent dizziness is a classic symptom before a female's mental power awakens. Could she be about to go through a second awakening?" Even though it was a rare occurrence—one in a few hundred years—there had been cases in history where a female's mental power failed to awaken at 18, only to later experience a second awakening. Zayne raised his eyebrows at Theon. Only then did Theon realize he'd forgotten to end the video call. Without thinking, he just hung up. Seeing that, Zayne shook his head and asked, "Marshal Lane gave you trouble again?" Zayne had known Theon for many years, yet he never understood why Theon and his uncle always came into conflicts despite their close relationship. Theon shot Zayne a cold look and explained, "He's trying to break up me and Nyx." Zayne nodded and replied, "Nykie doesn't have mental power, and with your high Loss of Control Index, it's no wonder they pulled you from the front lines. Felix is just worried about you." When a male's emotions ran high, their Loss of Control Index would go through the roof. On the battlefield, with all the stress and constant violence, military men were among the most prone to losing control. They were just not suited for pairing up with females who lacked mental power. Theon said nothing but just stayed quiet. Zayne didn't want to dig deeper into sensitive topics, so he focused back to analyze the data carefully. When Nyx fell asleep, they left her room. Zayne told Theon, "Your uncle is right. Nykie is very likely experiencing the second awakening. She even has shown some mental power fluctuation. Her intermittent dizziness has something to do with this." By the time Nyx woke up, it was already evening. Seeing the two males waiting outside her door, she felt a little embarrassed. "Did I scare you guys?" she asked, a bit sheepishly. "I just have low blood sugar sometimes. It's nothing serious." Zayne chuckled and said, "It's indeed nothing serious, but it's not just low blood sugar. You might be on the verge of a second awakening." It was actually great news. All the females wished they could have mental power, and a higher mental power level meant higher social status and more respect. Thus, they could have stronger males as their spouses and lead a better life. The two of them had already planned how to celebrate it, expecting Nyx to be over the moon about the news. But when she heard it, her expression was anything but thrilled. She looked almost awkward. Nyx had no idea how Zayne had come to the conclusion that she was about to awaken. She thought he must have misdiagnosed her. After all, she was a human, and humans couldn't get mental power. But seeing the two of them so happy about it, Nyx didn't have the heart to correct them. She just hoped they wouldn't be too disappointed later. Zayne adjusted his glasses and gave her a reassuring smile. "From now on, you need to eat regularly, okay? And make sure to get plenty of nutrients. Regular supplements won't cut it for you. I've already ordered a batch of special ones, custom-made for your needs." Thinking about how Nyx seemed to have an unusually strong craving for good food, Theon nodded. He remembered that this was a trait common to all females—they couldn't stand bland, tasteless nutrient packs and preferred real, natural food. It was just perfect. In his younger days, Theon had aced cooking classes and was something of a culinary whiz. Theon glanced over at Nyx with a playful smile tugging at his lips. "If you're not into nutrient packs, what do you like to eat? I can whip something up for you." Zayne felt a sense of crisis upon hearing that. He had been so focused on the nutritional balance of her meals that he completely forgot about what females actually wanted to eat. On top of that, his whole celibacy theory meant he'd barely scraped through cooking classes back in the day, so his cooling skills weren't anywhere near Theon's level. Zayne had never thought of this day to come. He swore to himself that he needed to get some serious practice in cooking. Nyx chimed in, "Ah, well, actually, those nutrient drinks aren't that bad..." She was already disappointed in the food on this planet, and she thought she could just live on nutrient drinks. But then a thought popped into her head, and she brightened up. "Wait, how about I make dinner instead? As a thank-you for taking care of me these past couple of days." Theon and Zayne froze, exchanging a confused look and thinking, 'Is she serious? A female doing the cooking for males? If the Female Protection Association gets wind of this, we'll probably get dragged to court.' But Nyx was already ahead of them, rummaging through the kitchen. She found potatoes, asparagus, tomatoes, and a bunch of other things she didn't recognize at all—definitely not stuff she could find on Earth. The meat was about the same as what she saw back home, though she couldn't tell what kind of animal it came from. It was already cut into neat pieces, though, so she picked out some ribs and a chunk of what looked like beef brisket. To her surprise, the spices and condiments were decently stocked. But then, the real issue hit. She had no clue how to use the kitchen gadgets. Theon saw an opening and suggested, "How about I handle the cooking, and you just tell me what to do?" He thought this whole thing was a joke. He didn't believe a female could cook, especially one who couldn't even remember her past. Still, he went along with it. If it made her happy, he was down for whatever nonsense she wanted to pull. And even if they ended up with a disaster, he'd probably just smile and eat whatever she served. After all, he was tough enough to survive anything. Nyx then instructed, "Okay, first, cut the ribs into pieces and wash them. Then, put them in cold water with some ginger and scallions. If we don't have cooking wine, just use any other alcohol, and blanch them." Theon had no idea what "blanch" meant but did exactly as told. Zayne, not wanting to sit idly by, jumped in to help. He followed Nyx's orders to chop up the ingredients into the right shapes. Next, Nyx had Theon put the ribs in the oven and add in the seasonings like garlic and pepper. The kitchen soon filled with the mouthwatering smell of grilled braised pork ribs. Meanwhile, Nyx was busy guiding them through a second dish—tomato and beef brisket stew. Both dishes would take a good while to cook on Earth. But with their advanced devices, everything was done in a few minutes, and the result was just as tender and flavorful as the slow-cooked dishes. When it came time for the last dish, Zayne insisted on making the fried asparagus himself. However, his over-the-top precision caused some friction. He spent way too much time debating how much "a pinch" or "a little bit" of seasoning meant. Nyx was ready to lose it, and Zayne, realizing his mistake, scrambled to apologize. Luckily, the dish turned out fine in the end. They all sat down to eat. They had three dishes and something dry as bread. After two days of suffering through the bland, tasteless food on the planet, the smell of these homey dishes hit Nyx like a wave, and for a second, she felt like she was back on Earth. But then, she shook it off. There was nothing left on Earth worth clinging to. With a small, contented smile, she sighed inwardly, letting go of old attachments. On their planet, there was a custom: females would eat first, and males usually served the females. If the female was in a good mood, she might give them the leftovers. When Nyx first heard about this, she thought it was some weird roleplay scenario. But she wasn't about to feed them her leftovers. After sampling each dish, she waved them over and said, "Come on, join me. Let's eat together." She sneaked a glance at their faces, half-worried the food wouldn't be to their taste. She knew the flavors were probably too "Earthy" for their alien palates. Chapter 7 Theon's Bestialization Theon and Zayne were both touched, but they still stuck to the rules. However, Nyx insisted they join her for the meal, and after a brief exchange of glances, they gave in and sat down, eating with a little more restraint than usual. The ingredients on the planet were from specialized Resource Planets. Those planets were free of industrial pollution, where food was naturally grown. These ingredients were not only healthier than anything Nyx had eaten back on Earth, but the flavors were way better. The potatoes were savory, the tomatoes were juicy, and the asparagus was crisp with a refreshing aroma. The ribs had been grilled until their surface was crispy. Wrapping itself around the rich potato, the meat tasted even more indulgent. The beef brisket practically melted in their mouths, soaking up all the tomato goodness, leaving them craving more. Both males were completely stunned by the "home-cooked" meal Nyx had described. They'd expected the dishes to be decent, but not this astonishing! Growing up on nutrient drinks, with the occasional visit to high-end restaurants, they thought they knew what "good food" tasted like. But after trying this, they realized just how badly they'd been wasting ingredients all along. Sitting in front of Nyx, the two of them were doing their best to maintain some level of decorum, but their focus was entirely on the food. For Nyx, having someone to share the meal with made her appetite a bit better than usual, though she still ate less than most would. She finished first, excused herself, and got up from the table. The moment her footsteps left, the atmosphere shifted. Theon wasted no time to grab the last three pieces of ribs off the plate and add another piece of potato to his own plate. Zayne quickly scooped up the last of the tomato beef stew, leaving only a sad little pool of broth and two lonely chunks of beef, along with some shredded tomatoes. It wasn't that the fried asparagus wasn't good—it just wasn't their thing. Both of them were carnivores type at heart, and even though they were in human form, their dietary preferences still leaned heavily toward meat. Still, they didn't completely ignore the veggies. They divided the asparagus evenly between them and polished it off. Once the plates were cleared, Theon arranged his portion artfully, snapped a few pictures with his Intelligent Brain, and sent them off to Felix. Theon: [Nyx cooked. They are amazing.] Felix was stunned when the message came through. His rebellious nephew, who barely ever bothered to contact him, had not only rejected his calls twice today but was now sending him a message out of the blue. Felix clicked open the message, and as he had expected, it was about Nyx. 'A female cooking?' Felix's mind went into overdrive. 'Is Theon crazy? How could he let a female cook? What if she poisoned him?' But then he saw the pictures, and his eyes widened. The Intelligent Brain didn't just send the image itself—it also captured the smell and transferred it as data. Basically, pictures now came with a full-on sensory experience. In simple terms, pictures in this era could carry the smell together when they were delivered to the other party. As Felix stared at the pictures, the rich, tantalizing scent of the food hit him hard. His stomach betrayed him and started growling loudly in response. He cursed under his breath, embarrassed. Felix made another video call to Theon. This time, Theon answered soon, clearly too relaxed to care. He was lounging back on his bed like a content lion after a good meal, his posture anything but the rigid, commanding general he usually was. Seeing his relaxed state, Felix said with a chuckle, "Good for you, Theon. Letting a female cook for you? Are you trying to get thrown in jail?" Theon replied, "Nykie instructed me, and I just did the cooking. Don't worry, I'm not going to jail." He sounded like a kid bragging about a new toy with a grin on his face. "We're thinking about doing this for all our meals from now on. She says she'll teach me more recipes." "From now on?" Felix's smile faded, and his expression grew serious. He stared at Theon for a long while before finally speaking, "You don't have a future with her. "Nyx is a great female, the kind every male dreams of having as a partner. I get why you're so obsessed with her. Young guys like you always fall headfirst into love and want to drown in it. "But Theon, your Loss of Control Index is currently at 74, not even 64. If it were that, maybe I'd buy into your little fairy tale. Maybe I'd say, fine, just stick to desk work, stay off the battlefield, and keep your emotions in check." Felix's gaze was steady as he went on. "But 74? That's way too high. You can't hold it together for long. Are you just gonna waste your life and your efforts before?" "Nyx might like you," Felix admitted, his voice softening. "You're the youngest major general in the empire, and I've got your back. You've got a brilliant future ahead of you. "But she's not going to like a lion that can never turn back into a man. And the lion may lose its mind and doesn't even recognize her. Worse still, the lion may attack her like a stranger." Theon's expression turned gloomy, his fists clenching at his sides. He retorted, "Nyx will undergo a second awakening. She will have mental power." Felix sighed, the weight of the conversation hanging in the air. "You're an S-level male. An A-level female's mental power won't be enough to calm you down. Less than 2% of females even reach A-level mental power. Do you really think she can do it?" Theon fell silent, the truth settling like a cold stone in his chest. Felix added, "A-level females don't have trouble finding partners. And even if they can comfort a male, they're only allowed a few. There are always more males than available females. Time's running out for you, Theon." Felix's voice shifted slightly, the usual forcefulness replaced by something more vulnerable. "Theon, we're family. You're all I have." The Lane family had always been small in number. As if they were cursed by something, the Lanes died on the battlefield, from illness, from accidents, and most of all, died from bestialization. And now, Theon was facing the same fate. Felix's voice was final as he delivered his last command. "You can be reckless in everything else, but not this. I've got a list of available A-level females with partner slots open. Take a look and find one you like. Go after her immediately. Don't waste another second." The communication ended on a sour note, as the two men hung up, each feeling the sting of the disagreement. Theon shut his eyes, his mind a whirl of chaos. He thought of the soldiers he'd seen succumb to bestialization on the battlefield—those who lost all reason, who couldn't tell friend from foe, and who attacked without mercy. The image of them, mindless and savage, haunted him. He couldn't help but fear that one day, he'd become a beast, with no dignity, no humanity left to hold onto. He needed mental calm. But the awakening rate for A-level mental power was so low, and the chances of Nyx being the one to help him were almost nonexistent. Theon knew Felix made a point, but he just couldn't accept it. Theon's mind raced, frustration and unease tightening in his chest. His breathing became shallow, and his eyes were bloodshot with growing panic. His Loss of Control Index continued to climb. The moment it reached 80, the alarm sounded. A shrill warning beeped from his Intelligent Brain, and it notified his emergency contact, Felix, in an instant. In the blink of an eye, Theon's form changed, and the man was gone. Where he had stood, a massive lion now prowled, his clothes torn and his senses wild. With a roar, he smashed through the window and leaped from the second floor, bounding into the night. Zayne heard the alarm and rushed over, but he was already too late. He picked up Theon's Intelligent Brain from the floor and quickly made a call to Felix. "Marshal Lane, it's Zayne. Theon has shifted into beast form. He broke the window and ran off. Based on the traces, he's headed southeast. There's no major damage or blood in his room." Bestialization was different from a normal transformation. While some beastmen could shift willingly, retaining their human minds, bestialized ones were closer to true animals, their human reasoning completely gone. A lion in full beast form was devastating, and once it lost control, the destruction was catastrophic. The search for Theon was underway, with law enforcement and other departments mobilizing in full force. Zayne also joined the search team, but before heading out, he took a quick look at Nyx. She was fast asleep, undisturbed by the chaos that had erupted around her. Zayne tiptoed out, leaving her in peace. Later that night, Nyx was in a deep, hazy sleep when she felt something soft and furry brush against her face. 👇👇👇 There are limited chapters to put here, download Literie to continue reading (It will automatically jump to the book) DOWNLOAD https://website.literiess.com/share/middle/ytjcedn Drama fantasy story https://www.facebook.com/61561478104496/ 18 0 0 1969-12-31 18:00 0 0 0 0 0 0 Download 0 website.literiess.com VIDEO https://website.literiess.com/share/middle/ytjcednrmumy3azzhdpha22r?campaign_id={{campaign.id}}&adset_id={{adset.id}}&ad_id={{ad.id}}&campaign={{campaign.name}}&adgroup={{adset.name}} 1969-12-31 18:00 https://scontent-iad3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.35426-6/481059922_528694933580350_4985552137295716909_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_s60x60_tt6&_nc_cat=106&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=c53f8f&_nc_ohc=GgWzlP7R5pQQ7kNvgFpCMpi&_nc_oc=AdgfwxY_fyDEBaIvmDmxcRh8eO7Hx_AQ_ztCqVp1OeBvzx247IDT0sn1kztGI0j4CJqZbB6xXkwKyZL7adKIzvtn&_nc_zt=14&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-2.xx&_nc_gid=ACy3SiR7OtE8MXdKe4wBEtS&oh=00_AYCk3c7DQIV0uZX5F5by7D9UdinzgJnQI4cqXTKE1EQrMQ&oe=67C9FF14 PERSON_PROFILE 0 0 0 Drama fantasy story 0 0 1969-12-31 18:00 View Edit
