Chapter 143
From the moment they met, Nyx had been kind
snake, holding him in her arms and showing obvious concern.
Pale Wolf scrutinized Kian, trying to figure out what made him so special. If he succeeded, he could imitate those qualities to become someone Nyx would like.
The books he read said females could have even if Nyx already had one, he still had a chance.
multiple mates, so
Nyx awkwardly glanced at Kian, noticing his displeasure, and quickly denied it. “We’re not mates.”
It was the truth.
Kian felt the pain in his chest wound intensify, as if it were tugging at his heart.
Given his status, he would never have the chance to be Nyx’s mate in this lifetime.
It was a choice he had made, and he didn’t regret it, but that didn’t mean it didn’t hurt.
Kian took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and tried to calm the frustration in his heart.
Seeing his pale complexion, Nyx thought he might pass out again and quickly pulled him into her arms.
Without a proper sickbed here, this was the best she could do to make him comfortable.
In an instant, Kian’s body tensed, his low spirits replaced by disbelief and overwhelming joy.
Lying in the soft embrace of the little female, he felt an intense sense of unreality. He thought, ‘Am I still alive? Am I dreaming before I die?‘
He didn’t dare move, afraid he might shatter this beautiful illusion.
Until he passed out again, Kian felt no pain. With the scent of his beloved so close, all he felt was peace and happiness.
Pale Wolf watched from the side, his eyes red with jealousy. He didn’t understand this strange emotion, but his heart ached unbearably.
“Not mates? Why be nice to him?” he asked Nyx, confused.
The books hadn’t taught him this.
“Even if we’re not mates, he’s still important to me,” Nyx explained gently.

Though they hadn’t met often since knowing each other, they had shared critical experiences, forging a deep bond. Kian had risked his life to save her and was now severely injured because of it. Nyx couldn’t remain indifferent
Nyx carefully touched Kian’s forehead and frowned at the burning heat.
Seeing the worry on the little female’s face, Pale Wolf paced anxiously.
He rummaged through a cabinet, found a box of medicine, and handed it to Nyx. “This is for him.”
Seeing the strange black ointment, Nyx’s first thought was that the wolf might be trying to take revenge on Kian. But Pale Wolf’s eyes were clear–he wasn’t the petty, vindictive type.
Even though Kian had beaten him up earlier and he was jealous of the attention Kian received, he genuinely wanted to help.
“My head… used this too,” Pale Wolf showed Nyx the scar on his head. “Tomorrow, I take him… to Jorge.”

Hearing that Jorge was an experienced doctor who had healed Pale Wolf’s wounds, Nyx felt slightly reassured.
“Thank you,” she said sincerely.

“No thanks… Can I be important too?” Pale Wolf asked tentatively. He wanted to be someone important to Nyx as well.
Nyx found his simplicity endearing and couldn’t help but smile. She took one of his paws. “Yes.”
It was impossible to dislike such a kind and straightforward male
Overjoyed, Pale Wolf wagged his tail nonstop.
He didn’t hold a grudge for being beaten up. As soon as the sandstorm stopped, he carried Kian on his back to find Jorge.
Jorge’s home was next to Pale Wolf’s, less than 600 feet away, and also an underground room.
As soon as they entered, Nyx was hit by the strong scent of medicinal herbs.
She had wrapped herself tightly to conceal all her female features while traveling. But Jorge only glanced at her and widened his eyes. “A female?”
Seeing how certain he was, Nyx felt her disguise was a complete failure, almost laughable.
Fortunately, Jorge, who was friends with Pale Wolf, wasn’t a bad person.
He earnestly advised Nyx, “This is Desolate Planet. The chaos here is beyond your imagination. Stay with Pale Wolf and don’t go out. If the inner city catches you, you’re dead.”
Those vicious people wouldn’t stop tormenting a female until she was dead.
Most people on Desolate Planet were either abandoned orphans or fugitives.
The strongest and most ruthless controlled the planet’s scarce resources, while the rest struggled to survive in the ruins buried by sand.
Pale Wolf was an exception.
“I dug this kid out of the sand. He’s tough–at least an S–level male. Might’ve been a special forces soldier,” Jorge remarked, impressed.
He continued, “He lost his memory but somehow remembers how to handle weapons and fight fiercely. The inner city tried to mess with him a few times, lost a lot of men, and still couldn’t take him down.”
Pale Wolf wasn’t one to seek fights, but if anyone trespassed on his territory, he’d eliminate them without mercy.
After a few attempts, the inner city left him alone. Thanks to him, even the outer city enjoyed relative peace.
Having lived under the inner city’s oppression for most of his life, Jorge considered saving Pale Wolf the best decision he’d ever made. He was content with his current life.
“Today… I go to the inner city,” Pale Wolf suddenly announced.
Jorge was startled. “What for?”
Pale Wolf stayed silent.
But Jorge wasn’t stupid. He glanced at Nyx and immediately understood.

Chapter 143
Females were hard to care for. They had to compete with the inner city for resources to keep her healthy.
“But it’s too dangerous,” Jorge sighed. ”
If Pale Wolf failed, the inner city would lose their fear of him, and chaos would return.
Nyx didn’t know what Pale Wolf planned to do in the inner city, but she agreed with Jorge.
Even if Pale Wolf was strong, he was still outnumbered.
She stopped Pale Wolf. “No rush. Let’s wait until my rescuers arrive.”
Pale Wolf looked up, stunned. “You… leaving?”
He’d never seen anyone leave Desolate Planet and hadn’t considered that Nyx might.
“Of course,” Jorge laughed, patting Pale Wolf’s shoulder. “She’s a female. She belongs on Advanced Planet, not this wasteland.”
Even males wouldn’t stay here if they had a chance to leave, let alone a delicate female..
Males from Desolate Planet shouldn’t dream too much.
Though Pale Wolf was capable and good–looking, no female would want a male from Desolate Planet who could barely speak.
Jorge pulled Pale Wolf aside, trying to comfort him and set realistic expectations.
Pale Wolf couldn’t speak, his face full of disappointment. He couldn’t imagine what Advanced Planet was like, but the fine food Nyx had given him told him it was worlds apart from here, where they had to eat Helioberries.
‘I’m not good enough for her. No wonder she doesn’t want to be my mate,’ thought Pale Wolf. His mood hit rock bottom. He was about to transform and howl outside to vent when Nyx spoke some words.
