Chapter 165
Jorge could already see it–Pale Wolf getting rejected and letting out a heartbroken howl.
He sighed, resigned to the fact that he’d have to console the poor guy soon.
Silence filled the air.
Then, just like before, Nyx took one of his fluffy paws in her hand and smiled, “Okay.”

Jorge couldn’t believe his eyes or ears. He thought, ‘Did she really say yes? Just how lucky is this Pale Wolf guy?‘
Aurelius couldn’t sit still anymore. His ears twitched as he glared at Pale Wolf, clearly annoyed. He thought, ‘Guess dumb luck is a real thing… Tch. Whatever, considering this guy risked his life to protect Nyx, I’ll let it slide for now!
Erik himself couldn’t believe he actually succeeded in confessing. He just stood there, completely dumbfounded.
“But there’s something else I need to tell you,” Nyx said, brushing her fingers over the scar on his head.
She always told her mates the truth about her identity.
The others all had her mark, but she
ure if Pale Wolf would want one. That had to be his choice.
Those words sent Erik into a spiral of nerves. He spent the entire afternoon lost in wild thoughts. Following Nyx home, he listened to her tell a miraculous story, and his expression grew even more dazed.
Yet, he never once doubted the truth of Nyx’s words. Without a trace of skepticism, he stood there in shock for a moment- then dropped to the ground with a thud.
Nyx flinched at the heavy impact.
“I–I swear to be loyal forever. I’m willing to die for you,” Erik stammered, nervous to the point of stumbling over his words. Luckily, words didn’t matter in this ritual–what counted was sincerity.
And he truly meant it. He would be Nyx’s loyal slave, and he really would die for her. He didn’t need to say anything more- his actions had already proven it.
Nyx pulled him into a tight hug. “I accept.”
A mark appeared on Pale Wolf’s chest.
He frantically tugged his shirt open, staring at the tiny, adorable sapling before looking up at Nyx, eyes sparkling with excitement.
He belonged to Nyx now.
Even Aurelius had accepted Pale Wolf into the family, so the other males had no reason to object.
After dinner, Zayne gave his head wound another check.
Even with a fatal wound, Pale Wolf actually managed to survive on Desolate Planet using just some crude medicine. It was some serious toughness.
“It’s completely healed, so don’t worry, Nyx,” Zayne said, flipping through the medical report in a calm

Chapter 165
Nyx let out a breath of relief and ran her fingers over Pale Wolf’s gruesome scar. “Why is this scar still here?
“Because it’s been too long since the injury: Zayne explained. “The only way to remove it is to regrow the whole skin”
As for how that process worked, he decided not to explain in detail. It’d probably freak Nyx out
Nyx froze. She suddenly thought of Jaws and his body covered in scare
They had been old wounds, yet they all vanished in a single day. It was obvious what Jaws had done.
Nyx thought, Has he really gone that far, just to look a little better in front of me?
Erik noticed the shift in Nyx’s expression. Seeing how upset she looked, he quickly turned to Zayne.
Females hated ugly scars. He should’ve taken care of it earlier.
“No.” Nyx grabbed his arm, her voice trembling
She only asked about the scar because she cared, not because she thought it was ugly.
Seeing her even more upset, Erik panicked. “O–okay, I won’t remove it.”
“It doesn’t hurt at all, really,” he clumsily tried to reassure her. “The wound healed a long time ago.
The males all shifted into their beast forms, surrounding Nyx in a fluffy pile and trying to cheer her up.
Nyx wiped away her tears and smiled, and then sat down and pulled out a few small brushes. “Alright, let’s groom some fur.”
Of course, Seafarion wasn’t left out–she had special brushes and special scale–care oil ready for him.
The only one without anything prepared was Pale Wolf.
A new ball of fluff had joined the household, but Nyx hadn’t gotten around to buying a new brush yet.
When she saw Pale Wolf’s pitiful eyes, guilt hit her hard. She quickly pulled up Intelligent Brain and said, “I’ll order
Unfortunately, the store was temporarily closed. Pale Wolf completely deflated and flopped onto the ground.
Meanwhile, Aurelius just had to make things worse. He leaped into Nyx’s arms, curling up against her and demanding another round of grooming.
Pale Wolf was fuming. He thought, That guy is definitely doing it on purpose.’
“Nyx, he can use my little brush for now,” Zayne suddenly offered.
Their beast forms were both wolves. Even though they were different breeds, the same kind of brush would work for both of
t
Nyx was surprised and rubbed Zayne’s ears. “You’re being so good today.”
She’d spent enough time with him to know just how jealous he could get. It was rare for him to be this generous.
Maybe because they were both canines and had both lived on Desolate Planet, the two wolves actually got along pretty well. They also both had a problem with Aurelius.
In front of Nyx, they tried to keep things civil, but behind the scenes, tension ran high, and their fights often ended wit
Nyx had noticed something was up.

She secretly observed them a few times, confirming that they weren’t going too far, and that their fights were kept within bounds, so she decided to turn a blind eye.
She thought that a little sparring wasn’t a bad way to bond, after all.
Even when it was two against one, Aurelius didn’t exactly have the upper hand, but he never really lost, either.
After waiting for many days, Aurelius finally got the chance when Nyx allowed a male to enter her bedroom. He waited eagerly for Nyx to choose him, but to his surprise, Nyx picked Zayne’s tag, and he couldn’t hold it in any longer.
“Next time, I swear it’ll be you,” Nyx said, hugging the sulking cat and rubbing his fur like crazy.
She was choosing based on how long she had known them and how long they’d been together.
After Zayne, it should’ve been Felix’s turn, but since Felix wasn’t home, Aurelius moved up in the lineup.
The cat whined and rolled around in Nyx’s arms.
“Three days later? Two? How about tomorrow?” Nyx coaxed him. “Okay, tomorrow, I promise.”
She was really pulling out all the stops to pacify this clingy little furball.
Aside from Zayne, who was allowed to stay, all the other males left Nyx’s room.
Erik watched the white cat in disbelief. “Shameless.”
He’d always known that guy had two faces, but he’d never seen him act this shameless before.
He thought, ‘Seriously? Rolling around in my female’s arms, acting all spoiled just to get more attention?‘
But Aurelius didn’t care about being called names. His goal was already achieved. With a satisfied flick of his fluffy tail, he said, “Better than you.”
Nyx liked him exactly the way he was.
Inside the room, Zayne turned off the main light, leaving only a small, dim night lamp on.
“Are you scared, Nyx?” he asked, gently squeezing her soft little hand.
Nyx shook her head. She was just a little nervous.
Theon could be impulsive sometimes, but Zayne was always calm and gentle. She had no reason to be afraid of him.
“Don’t be scared. I won’t hurt you,” Zayne murmured with a soft chuckle, pulling her into his arms.
“But I might get a little rough. Is that okay?” As he spoke, he took off his glasses. The moment those gray–blue eyes lost their cover, they became piercing and intense.
