Chosen Mate Of The Beastmen Empire novel Chapter 297

Chapter 297 

Before Yaya could get any closer, the two male lions had already noticed her approach.

They thought she was coming to find Nyx, reluctantly moving away a little to give Nyx some space for interaction. 

Yaya was confused 

She quickly chased after them, lay down on the ground, rolled a few times, and lifted her tail. 

Such an active invitation, even the most clueless male lion should understand it. 

However, Theon and Felix didn’t rush toward her as she had imagined. Instead, they kept backing away, even hiding behind Nyx 

Yaya went speechless. She thought, “What the heck is going on with these two? 

The air was thick with the scent of hormones. She was sure she hadn’t misjudged. The two male lions were clearly eager for breeding 

If it were any other lion, it would have already gone after the lioness, but this one was waiting for her to come to him. 

She thought, “Wait… no, they’ve definitely been bothering the lioness. It’s just that Nyx is the only one they’ve been bothering 

Realizing this, Yaya suddenly understood and was speechless for a while. She had never seen such a strange lion. As for mates, male lions do have preferences. 

Strong yet gentle lionesses were often the most sought–after mates for males. But to find a lion who ignored all the lionesses and fixated solely on one young, subadult lioness–there was no other like him on the plains. 

Don’t you want cubs?” Yaya couldn’t help but ask directly. 

It was in animals nature to reproduce, and male lions instinctively had the desire to spread their seed across the whole 

savanna. 

However, when it came to cubs, the two male lions only thought of how Nyx used to love playing with the cubs of the Red Mountain Pride, sometimes even neglecting them. 

“We don’t want them, they answered decisively and without hesitation. 

Considering that the lionesses might want cubs, Theon brought up their previous plan again. “We’ll leave the Great Valley pride: 

Once they leave, other male lions will naturally fight for the territory and choose a new leader. 

Yaya’s eyes widened in shock. She thought, “They don’t want the territory or cubs–what do they want?‘ 

After weighing the pros and cons, she tried to persuade them. “Don’t leave. I won’t bother you again.” 

“I promise, they won’t bother you either.” She turned and looked at the other lionesses in the pride. 

If even she was rejected, the other lionesses had no chance. 

She said that, but deep down, Yaya still held onto a small glimmer of hope. 

The rainy season was long, maybe one day, they wouldn’t be able to hold back.

Chapter 297 

For male lions who didn’t get to mate, the mating season was torment.

Theon and Felix increased their patrols of the territory. Occasionally, they would fight each other, venting their restlessness, or dive into the cool river to find a moment of peace. Even so, they still showed no intention of approaching any lionesses. 

Days passed, and the lionesses of the Great Valley pride had no choice but to accept the reality and give up. 

Yaya gazed at their direction from afar and shook her head helplessly. 

Although she didn’t quite understand their feelings, she admired how they could defy the instinct to reproduce for the sake of their convictions. 

Taking advantage of the two male lions going hunting, Nyx searched around for herbs to help cool them down, hoping to ease her mates‘ discomfort a bit. 

She lowered her head, focused on searching, and wandered to the edge of the territory, when she suddenly heard a familiar voice calling her name. “Aman?” 

Looking up and seeing the young male lion, she quickly took a few steps back, eyes filled with caution. “What do you want this time?” 

It was the rainy season, and Aman was now an adult male lion, his body radiating the scent of mating, and his eyes betrayed his longing. 

I’m going to fight for the territory,” his voice was hoarse as he stared at Nyx. “Nyx, will you come with me?” 

“No.” Nyx rejected him flatly. 

She had already rejected him once before, and now he had come again. 

Seeing her firm rejection, Aman deflated like a punctured balloon. He hadn’t expected much, but he wasn’t ready to give up, so he thought he’d try one last time before leaving. 

He said, “I see. I’m not as good as Theon and Felix, and I can’t find a territory like Great Valley.” 

Nyx’s rejection was natural. Between Theon, Felix, and him, any lioness would know who to choose. 

As he spoke, Aman’s mood grew darker. 

Nyx couldn’t bear to see a lion with such spirit fall into despair, so she softened her tone and comforted him. “You’re already strong. With Curled Ear, you’ll definitely find a suitable territory. I’m not rejecting you because you’re not good enough.” 

Aman perked up his ears, waiting for Nyx to explain, when suddenly, they heard an enraged roar from the other male lions. 

With the sound of fast running cutting through the air, he saw two furious lions leaving their prey behind and charging toward him, their aura so fierce it felt like they were going to kill him. 

Aman took off running. 

The lion was aggressive, but he wasn’t eager to die. Faced with an opponent he couldn’t defeat, he naturally chose to run 

away. 

If he really wanted to face Theon and Felix head–on, he wouldn’t have waited for a time when they weren’t around to try and stir trouble. 

Aman ran for his life, with Theon and Felix hot on his tail. 

They were already in a bad mood, and now this lion had the nerve to provoke them at a time like this, crossing a line they couldn’t ignore.

Chapter 297 

Seeing Theon and Felix about to blow up like a pair of ticking time bombs, Nyx rushed to catch up. While running, she called their names. 

Suddenly, the two lions came to a screeching halt. 

Nyx wasn’t prepared and crashed into them, her eyes widening as she saw what was happening. “Yaya?” 

Hidden among the bushes, several lionesses were having a secret meeting with the male lions, including lionesses from both the Great Valley pride and the Red Mountain Pride. 

Caught red–handed, the three male lions panicked and took up a battle stance, though it was clear they had no real intention of winning. 

Nyx took a closer look and recognized them–they were the former king of the Great Valley Pride, the ones they had driven out earlier. 

She never expected that Yaya would rekindle a relationship with them. 

Nyx glanced at Yaya and noticed she was also nervous. She seemed calm on the surface, but her legs were shaking like crazy. 

The situation was incredibly awkward. 

Aman stopped running, panting and standing some distance away, clearly trying to enjoy the spectacle. 

It had only been teasing Nyx a little, but got no response, and now these three had gone and given Theon and Felix a major betrayal. 

It was clear which was more important. 

They’d definitely deal with these three first, and then probably wouldn’t bother chasing Aman anymore. 

Confident in this, Theon and Felix snapped back to reality and charged again. 

Aman didn’t have time to react and was pinned to the ground, letting out a confused and pained scream. 

He thought, ‘Why are they beating me up instead of the lions that have really crossed the line?‘ 

The other lions around were just as stunned. 

It was Nyx who finally couldn’t stand it and spoke up, “Stop now. It didn’t do anything to me; it’s leaving right now.” 

Since it was Nyx who had saved Aman’s life, the two male lions reluctantly let Aman go, giving it a cold, warning look. “If you want to stay alive, just get out of here.” 

Aman didn’t hesitate, running off without looking back. 

Once his figure disappeared, Theon and Felix slowly turned their heads. 

The remaining three male lions swallowed nervously. They thought, ‘Is it our turn?‘
