Chapter 205
Archie blinked, “Lasa?”
The newcomer was a famous actress who also lived in the villa district.
With a flattering smile, she approached Erik and asked, “Can I buy some drinking water and food from you?”
She had been observing for a while. Erik’s family seemed to have plenty of supplies and had been living behind closed doors. She had been waiting for days, and today, she finally got a chance to strike up a conversation.
Before Erik could speak, Archie clicked his tongue. “Money is just worthless paper now.”
“I know.” Lasa pulled out a handful of jewelry from her backpack. “Will these work? What kind of jewelry does your girlfriend like?”
Erik lowered his gaze and shook his head.
These were all second–hand items. None of them were worthy of his matron Nyx.
“Why don’t you come with us instead? I’ll take you to a temporary shelter.” Archie offered kindly. “The conditions aren’t great, but at least there’s food and water.”
Lasa bit her lip in silence.
“Isn’t your girlfriend pregnant?” She finally revealed her true intentions, looking up at Erik. “I can take her place to have sex with you. Just give me some supplies.”
Lasa actually still had some supplies at home. What she was after wasn’t just a one–time trade.
She had seen firsthand how Erik dealt with those gangsters from property management. In times like these, if she could latch onto such a strong man, her life would be much easier.
In Lasa’s eyes, all men were lustful by nature. With his girlfriend pregnant, Erik was bound to crave some extra sex.
Lasa considered herself attractive–both in looks and figure–more than enough to entice a man.
“You guys aren’t officially married, right? Without a legal certificate, it’s not even cheating.” Lasa coaxed, trying to sow discord. “Besides, with the three of you together, who’s to say that baby is even yours.”
Archie and his friends exchanged glances. They thought, ‘Oh no.‘
As fellow men, they understood all too well the weaknesses of their own kind. A famous beauty throwing herself at Erik was like a bomb.
They nervously glanced at Erik.
Unexpectedly, Erik’s expression remained icy cold, without a trace of admiration for the so–called beauty.
His focus wasn’t on Lasa at all. Instead, he firmly corrected her, word by word. “I’m her official mate. I have a title.”
That title had been hard–won. It meant everything to him.
Lasa’s confident smile froze. She thought, ‘What’s wrong with this guy? Not only does he not take the bait, but his main
concern is his title?’
Facing Erik’s serious expression, Lasa felt like she had just flirted with a dead man. Still, she refused to give up.

“Would you be open to having an extra partner, pret in case?” She moved towards him, hoping that by embracing him, the
could soften his cold demeanor
she thought that since his girlfriend was pregnant, he clearly wasn’t satisfied des wise, and he definitely didn’t look like he was impotent.
Erik swiftly stepped back
Everyone watched in shock as Lasa missed her mark and fell flat on the ground. A collective gasp followed.
Not only did Erik not show a hint of sympathy, but his brows furrowed, and his fists clenched in visible displeasure.
He had sworn to the Beast God to be forever loyal to Nyx. A woman throwing herself at him like this was nothing short of a
shame to him.
However, Erik’s deeply ingrained instinct to protect females kept him from striking a woman, so he forced down his irritation, stepped around Lasa, and strode away.
Archie hesitated for a moment but didn’t reach out to help her. Instead, he ran after Erik. “Wait up. Erik”
Catching up, he patted Erik’s shoulder. “Good man
It was obvious to him that Erik had zero interest in cheating, as Erik’s rejection had been absolute. Men like Erik were rare.
Days later, when Archie visited Nyx again, he couldn’t help but bring it up. “Erik dodged instantly. Didn’t even hesitate
His exaggerated tone made Nyx burst out laughing.
“Seriously?” She turned to Erik. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
Erik sat up straight, suddenly tense. “I’m sorry, Nyx.”
It wasn’t exactly something pleasant to talk about. He hadn’t wanted to bring it up. But he should be completely honest with
his matron.
“What are you apologizing for?” Nyx leaned in and kissed his cheek with a bright smile.
She thought a mate this loyal deserved a reward. It was just a quick peck, but Erik’s face instantly turned red, all the way to his neck.
Archie stared, dumbfounded. He thought, ‘Dear sister didn’t even do anything sexual, yet Erik got all turned on, completely different from his usual cold demeanor. That must be love.
Seeing Theon also approaching, Archie quickly stood up to take his leave but still reminded them, “Things are a bit tense right now, so be careful.”
But his warning was probably unnecessary–Erik and Theon definitely knew how to handle themselves.
As soon as they were out of sight from others, Erik’s tail immediately emerged from behind him. “Nyx.”
Nyx watched his wagging tail and thought he looked less like a wolf and more like an excited puppy clinging to its owner.
It was evening now.
“Where’s Chubby?” Nyx blinked, suddenly realizing that Chubby hadn’t come to bother them the entire time.
Only now did Nyx remember her beloved little one, who had been unusually quiet for so long. A bad feeling suddenly

struck her.
Theon stood up. “I’ll go check.” Then, off he went.
Theon should’ve been back within a minute, but nearly five minutes passed before he returned. He frowned as he hurriedly dressed. “I’m going to find Chubby.”
“What’s wrong?” Nyx’s eyes widened. “Chubby isn’t in its little bed?”
“It sneaked out with Archie.” Theon pulled up the surveillance footage and showed it to Nyx, trying to reassure her. “Don’t worry, it has a tracker on. I’ll go get it right now.”
Nyx’s mind buzzed, and she immediately scrambled out of bed. “I’m coming too.”
The outside world was a mess. She thought, ‘If someone caught my unhatched baby and mistook it for food, what then?
In the Cook residence’s living room, Archie held Chubby in his hands, inspecting it from every angle. “What exactly is this? Is this a gift from dear sister?”
He had no idea when this egg had appeared on his speedboat–it had given him quite a scare when he first found it
“It even has little clothes on. It’s probably not an egg meant for eating.” Layla leaned in and observed Chubby closely. “Maybe it’s a pet? Whoa, it moves! Is it about to hatch?”
