Chapter 022 - Friends
“Aditya?”
“What is it, Miss Kaiya?”
I shift my attention from the books I am reading towards her. We are in the gazebo that is overlooking the garden. It is a wooden structure with chairs and tables within the shade. Different kinds of flowers adorn the handrails. It is elevated a few steps off the ground with grasses, colorful plants, and bushes all around the quiet area. According to Aditya, Theo specifically requested this place in case I want to breathe and be away from my room for a while.
“Do you think I can visit Theo?” I ask her. “I will just be there in a few minutes.”
“I would advise against it, Miss Kaiya.”
“A few minutes will not disturb his work, right?”
“But it will disturb your studies,” she says.
I follow her gaze towards the stack of books in front of me. Ten books on each of my sides. And a couple more in front of me.
“I read fast.”
“I can see that, Miss Kaiya.”
“So are you going to all

Like Aditya had said, I am having issues with my concentration. As I browse through the different books, my mind keeps on shifting back to Theo and his other women. Despite that scene, Theo had never tried to reach out to me and apologize. It’s as if he stopped seeing me as interesting. Worse, Aditya never returned to my room as my handmaiden, or assistant, or whatever, as long as I don’t think of her as my friend. Now, I am back in the library, with Harbin in front of me and the multiple books I need to finish on the shelf behind me. I take a deep breath and hit my forehead on the open book. “What’s the problem this time?” Harbin asks. As time moves on, he’s getting more and more attuned to my emotions. “Aditya. She hasn’t returned,” I say. “From what I’ve heard, Miss Aditya did something that displeases the King. So you won’t have a handmaid on your side for quite a while before he finds another.” I groan and lean my head o

I read through the written accounts of all the rulers of different Kingdoms. Harbin made me read it, probably to make me understand why Theo needs to have other women other than me. He needed to have an heir. I can’t give that to him since most werewolves have little chance to get pregnant. Even Nowra and her mate need to copulate multiple times just to get a child. Despite all those nights, Nowra didn’t get pregnant. But it still hurts. Every time I think about him with other women, I see him differently little by little. Despite that, I still love and crave for him. As days pass, I miss him even more, and yet, I am not allowed to visit. As per the servants that I asked, whoever let me into the harem building will have the same punishment as Aditya. Browsing through the books, I can see that if only Aditya was impregnated by the Djambek King, then maybe she could stay by his side. Should I do that? Strive to be pregnant so Theo will return to my side? Will my pr
The Shrewd King Chapter 025 - Heirs
I stifle my voice as I run and hide in the gazebo, making sure that I am covered with the seat’s blanket. Crouching in the corner, I cry while wrapping my arms around my knees. It’s about to get dark, and I really need to return to my room. Suddenly, I hear a voice. It’s Aditya’s voice. “You finally decide to meet me again,” she says. I am about to get up from where I am hiding when I heard, “I told you I am busy. I have no time for this.” It’s Theo’s voice! It’s been a long time! Oh, moon goddess, I miss him! I will meet him, I– “Busy on what? Impregnating your harem women as fast as possible?” Theo did not respond, so Aditya continues, “I told you, make me your first concubine.” Hearing that, I stay put and once again hug my knees to my chest. “No,” is the flat reply. “You don’t need to think about my jealousy. I understand the need to have heirs, to have other women. All I ask is one night every week. As long as I have y
The Shrewd King Chapter 026 - Mate Bond
I open my eyes. It’s morning. Another night without seeing Theo. So, Klevon really is a liar. I tried to stay awake the whole night, but he did not show himself. Massaging my head, I sit up. Yesterday, when I returned to my room, only Harbin and Brandon are waiting for me. No Theo. Contrary to what everyone tells me, I think I am being abandoned. I get up from the bed and suddenly drop to the floor. I feel dizzy. What just happened? I feel sick. It’s been a while. I lift myself and return to my bed. I cover my face with the blanket and finally sleep. The next time I wake up is when someone is hovering over me. I open my eyes and see Harbin beside me. “At last, you are awake. Are you being lazier as the days pass?” I look away. As Harbin says, I want to do nothing today. “Your new handmaid will arrive soon,” he informs. “I don’t need one,” I say. I am to get up when Harbin pushes me back to the bed. “Well, it’s
The Shrewd King Chapter 027 - Heat
After breakfast and bath, I go to the sunroom, with the help of a servant who ushers me towards it. I sit on the couch overlooking the massive garden in front. Over half of its walls are made of glass with creeping vines on the glass roof that serves as a shade to the room. The wall behind me is the only solid structure in the room. Alone and uncomfortable, I raise my feet on the couch and hug my knees to my chest. The sunroom is on the second floor, and even if the garden is beautiful, I just can’t help but be anxious. This really is not a place for a werewolf. The door opens and Theo comes in. I notice him taking a breath, but I look away. I sense him coming closer. “Kaiya…” he says. I can hear the love in his voice, but his actions speak otherwise. Leaving me for a month without a word? I don’t think that’s love. Nowra says that she and her mate can’t even be apart for a week. Then he sits on the couch in front of me. I watch him. He is

But he is lying, he did not penetrate me. Instead, he makes me lie on all fours. Keeping my knees close, his manhood slides between my legs, earning a groan from him. Our flesh makes wet sounds as he slides back and forth. And the way he rubs against me creates delicious friction, that when I find my climax again, I fall heavily on the couch, panting in resignation. Then, his movements go faster, and rougher. The couch creaks in both our weights. Until finally, he releases and my skirt gets drenched more than ever. “I love you, Kaiya,” he whispers in my ears as his seed continues to spill between my legs. But all I can do is moan and whimper as the barrage of pleasure continues to assault my body. Then he lifts my body and kisses my mouth. “I think of you all the time,” he whispers, his lips sucking on mine. “Damn, I crave so much for you. But soon,” he whispers. “Soon, we will only have each other. So, wait for me, please… Don’t get tired of me. Remember me, always.” He releases
The Shrewd King Chapter 029 - Delirious
I feel the bed shift. I open my eyes to see Theo kneeling before me at the foot of the bed. I smile as I watch him, especially when he starts to remove all his clothes. Even in my drowsy state, I find him beautiful. The moonlight sifting through the curtains gives him a more erotic quality. He looks so divine. This is a nice dream. He is a beautiful illusion. There is no way, he’d be in my room, naked and very ready to make love to me. He removes the blanket that’s covering my body and opens my legs. “Kaiya…” he whispers. “I miss you so much.” I miss him. But it’s hard to believe that he does miss me. He’s been gone for more than a week. He broke his promise to me, and I am sure he will be gone for a while more. He lifts my legs and places them over his shoulders. I smile. I am too horny for him that I am getting these nice dreams. I close my eyes. This will pass too, and tomorrow is another day without him. Suddenly, a tongue laps on my folds. I jerk and my eyes open wide. This
The Shrewd King Chapter 030 - Pregnancy
It is already morning when we are both spent from a long, passionate lovemaking. I am filled with his seed, and his cum already dried up on my legs, but I know it will be a miracle if another life will result from it. He pulls me to his chest and entwines his limbs with mine. He’s playing on my hair while giving small kisses on my face. I close my eyes. I am too exhausted that I can no longer move a muscle. I am drifting off to sleep, but the way his fingers trail along my skin is waking me up at inopportune times. “I love you, Kaiya,” he whispers and I snuggle closer to him. “We’ll be together from now on.” “Hmmm…” I whisper, my forehead touching his chest. I am engulfed by his lavender scent, even if I know that we should smell like sweat and sex mingled together. “Five of my harem women are pregnant with my heirs.” My eyes flutter open, but I didn’t move. His children. The cause of my pain. I shake my head. It’s unfair to think of unborn children like that. So instead, I lift
