The Shrewd King Chapter 038 - Symptoms
“She will be weak for a week, but once her body catches up. She’ll be as strong as ever,” the unfamiliar voice says. The hands on my skin are gentle and cold. My eyes open to see an old woman looking at me and placing a cold compress on my forehead. Harbin is also beside the bed, looking curiously at me. “What happened?” I ask. “You collapsed,” Harbin answers while the physician is quietly taking care of me. “Why? Is it the stress?” “No. You are pregnant,” he answers nonchalantly. Pregnant? Me? My eyes open wide. “Who else knows?” There is a budding hope in my chest. I am pregnant with Theo’s child! Even when werewolves always had a hard time conceiving! “Only me and the physician.” My smile widens. I am happy. All the sickness I felt is all worth it! I want to tell him soon! I look outside the window. It’s afternoon now. I’ve been unconscious for a while, but it doesn’t matter. I sit up and reach for Harbin’s hand. “Call him,” I whisper, feeling ecstatic. “Call Theo. He’s j
The Shrewd King Chapter 039 - Walk
But calming down takes days, almost a week. I am no longer weak because of the pregnancy, but it is my heart that’s becoming dull with pain. I am so stressed out that it’s become harder for me to focus on my studies. Rather, I don’t want to study anymore. I snicker. Why am I so stressed out when having a child with Theo should be a happy event? Why is it that I am the only one happy with this new life? “Kaiya, what’s the answer?” Harbin interjects, which I only answer with a low growl. “You do know that after this, you need to go to your etiquette lessons? They told me you are going to start with your music lessons.” “I don’t want to do this anymore, Harbin,” I confess. He places his book down and looks at me. “Because the King is not happy with your child, you think that learning has become useless?” “Yes,” I admit. “I’ve only done this because I want to be accepted by everyone as his lover. But now… I don’t find the motivation to do this anymore.” “That’s an expected outcome…
The Shrewd King Chapter 040 - Submission
My teeth bite into him. But suddenly, I pull away. His usual lavender scent is mixed in with something else. Something that is too sweet, too bitter, too ugly. My instinct is screaming that I should not mark him. That there is something rotten in him. I wipe my mouth as he lifts himself. “What’s wrong?” he asks. “Is it done?” I glance at his neck. I have not even started yet. “Your smell…” I whisper, “It’s preventing me to mark you.” “Then, I will wash first.” He gets up from the bed. He’s about to enter the bathroom when he returns and lifts me off his bed. “How about we wash each other? It’s been a while since you washed me.” I did not respond. He places me in the tub and fills it with lukewarm water. Then he retrieves the brush and soap and sits behind me. Without asking for permission, he brushes my back. Each of his touches warms my body, and I know it has nothing to do with the temperature of the water. “Do you know you smell sweet to me?” he asks. I just nod. His smel
The Shrewd King Chapter 041 - Encumbrance
“What have you done to her, my King?!” Harbin scolds. His voice is loud and laced with annoyance at his King. It is also his admonishment that woke me up. Ah! I still don’t want to open my eyes and face all this pain. “She falls unconscious while we are amid our pleasure,” Theo answers. A hint of guilt in his voice. “You know she is pregnant! Pregnancy is physically and emotionally rough for she-wolves! And instead of her, you should be f*ucking your harem women!” I flinch at Harbin’s words. I guess he goes vulgar when frustrated? He’s always calm and collected when dealing with me. “Making love with her won’t make her more pregnant than she currently is.” “You idiot! If you haven’t noticed, she is breaking! I told you to treat her better! Not to f*uck her every chance you get! Besides, you know that you are still having a problem with her being pregnant! Her child will be your firstborn!” “Harbin, stop. Your annoying voice is ringing in my ears. Besides, it’s consensual. We bo
The Shrewd King Chapter 042 - Cursed Witch
Klevon lays me on my bed. My bed, because he enters my room instead of the King. Two guards are behind him, hesitating about what to do. They are given orders to guard me in the King’s room, not in my room. “The King… the attack…” I start. He pushes on my forehead, which forces me back to the bed. “Stay with your guards, Kaiya. You’re not in a position to worry about someone. You look sick.” “I am not sick! I still go about my daily duties!” “Fine. Not sick, but weak. You won’t be able to call up your magic and help in this state.” “But the King!” “Sense that?” he asks. “It’s Brandon and Lorant’s magic. They are winning. There’s no need for me either,” he says and sits beside my bed. As instructed, I relax on the bed and calm myself. I close my eyes and lay my hands on my stomach. I sense the surrounding magic. It is minuscule now. I can only feel Brandon’s magic, maybe because I am familiar with him. The unfamiliar magic also disappeared, which means the battle is finished t
The Shrewd King Chapter 043 - Engorge
When night comes and Theo still did not return, I feel the hole in my heart enlarge. It is so pronounced that I feel like my whole body is being devoured by it. Yet, there is no physical pain. It’s all in my mind. Meeghan also did not bother me. She might have thought that I need to rest after sex with the King. All are nothing but lies. I crouch on the bed. I want to cry, but the tears have long dried up, and even the swelling on my face has long been gone. Damn these werewolf abilities. When the door opens, I sit up to see Theo striding toward me. Finally, he’s here. Even if there is a tired look on his face. My heart takes another plunge. Is visiting me has become an exhausting activity for him? Is he bored with me already? He takes a chair and sits in front of me. There is a grave look on his face. His hands are clasped together and his shoulders are drooping. Rather than a King, he looks like a picture of utter defeat. “I wasn’t able to ask this of you earlier because of
The Shrewd King Chapter 044 - Tea Party
I sit by the windowsill in Theo’s room. It’s been two weeks since I collapsed due to pregnancy. My body is already being used to it. I no longer have music and etiquette lessons, but to pass the time, Harbin still brings me books. Tea with him has also become a common occurrence. I stretch my leg on the windowsill as I watch the setting sun. Theo will arrive soon after a quick bath, and I know what I need to do. I have become his whore for a week already. As if a trigger, the door opens and Theo comes into the room. He runs to me as if he is relieved that I am still here. He wraps his arms around me and breathes in my scent. “Did you just have a bath?” he asks. I nod. I always ensure to take a bath an hour before he arrives. I pull back from him and walk towards the bed. I am about to remove my clothes when he walks behind me and helps me undress. With my clothes on the floor, I climb to the bed and lie on it. His gaze never leaves my face and I watch him remove his clothes. Befor
The Shrewd King Chapter 045 - Servitude
Theo grunts on top of me and my chest jiggles every time his manhood impales me. My body arches and I grab tightly onto the sheet. He continuously calls my name every time he thrusts. His voice still sounds like music, but the pleasing quality in it is replaced by the knowledge that he’s not only doing these intimate acts with me. He finally releases inside while my back touch the sheets again. He licks the corner of my mouth while waiting for his shivers to die down. “Kaiya, is our lovemaking becoming boring for you?” he asks. “I’m good,” I answer. My chest is still heaving from attempting to catch my orgasm, but failing to do so. “You want me to spice it up?” “Spice?” I ask. He sits up and takes my hand. He kisses it before saying, “Yes, to make it more enjoyable.” Rather than making our sex more enjoyable, shouldn’t he be thinking about how to ensure his harem women get pregnant? But after acknowledging it, pain shoots through my chest again. “How?” He reaches for the beds
