The Shrewd King Chapter 097 - Turned and Memories
Suddenly, the creature withdraws its limbs from me. I drop to the ground, trembling. Klevon attacks and Theo kneels before me. He lightly touches the surrounding skin on the open wound on my neck. I can feel it. Something is in my veins. Something… ancient and… from the gods. The smell… it’s so familiar as if I am at home. “F*uck! Poison,” the creature in front of us says. “What the heck, is that? A she-wolf? Why is a werewolf slave being protected?” “She is no longer a slave,” Klevon says. His massive broadsword is out and pointed at the creature, whose mouth is still dripping with my blood. “Kaiya?” It’s Theo. He lightly taps my cheeks. “What are you feeling?” My vision blurs and Theo’s face swims in front of me. Even in this state, I still find him so… so beautiful. Why does the mate bond act like this? It’s painful, it's uncontrollable. I don’t want to feel like this anymore. My arms raise towards him, and suddenly, I want to bite him. I want to take his blood. I want to eat h
The Shrewd King Chapter 098 - Before Slavery
Theo’s younger self swirls around my head. A ten-year-old boy is wearing a bored look on his face. His white uniform has smudges of blood and dirt. He is holding a baseball bat and on his feet is a trembling and wounded student that is halfway on his werewolf shift. ‘What teacher?! You plan to annoy me too?!’ he asks. ‘Want to replace him on the ground?’ ‘Eugene! Students already know you are strong! There is no need to keep on reminding them!’ ‘Yeah, but some of them still think, that because they are werewolves, they are so much better than I am!’ Another set of images flashes in my mind. Moments of Theo bullying the other students and moments that I stop him until he is too annoyed that his focus turns on me instead. However, it didn’t last long. The next set of memories shows how Theo is surrounded by ocean water. They are on a ship for their school trip. He makes a promise that he will make a show of overcoming ocean magic, or else he will die trying. He really almost died.
The Shrewd King Chapter 099 - The Blood God
My eyes open, and everything has become clear. Not all my memories are back, but at least my time with Theo is there. However, I feel massive disgust at what I have done. I had a scandalous relationship with my student! I even used him to relieve myself of a clawing desire for my Duran mate! I am frustrated! However, when I shift my attention around, I realized that I lost consciousness for a while. I missed some things and now, everything is covered in ice. It is freezing and I am not sure how much time has elapsed. Some of the human warriors are also lying on the ground. And in my peripheral vision, I see one creature about to bite one of the warriors. I dash towards him. I am too fast that even before his fangs touch his neck; I am already touching the creature’s head. I am as surprised as the creature. He withdraws from me and I shield the human warrior. I feel strength welling up from my body. I am strong. Now that some of my memories return, I know how to tap into my strength
The Shrewd King Chapter 100 - Vessels
“Moon Goddess vessel?” I ask. It sounds familiar but foreboding, and yet, I can’t call up any information about it in my head. I should know about it while I was Theo’s teacher, right? Or am I taking up time remembering my memories? Gezer continues, “If you take a look inside you, you will see that you are created together with the others. I am sure she devoured some of you. And when you reached a certain number of offspring with humans, you can no longer bear a child.” “I already know I can’t bear a child. I can get pregnant, but NOT bear a child,” I whisper. I haven’t talked with Theo about this. Gezer's eyes reddens. He looks me up and down as if he can see something that human eyes cannot. “You have been tampered with. The Moon Goddess will not like it,” he smirks. “How did you do that?” “Tampered? How can you perceive that?” “Vessels can identify each other. You should be able to identify me, too.” “How?” “By—” “Shut up now!” Klevon interrupts and points his sword at Gez
The Shrewd King Chapter 101 - Refittings
We stayed on the island for a few more days. It’s so we can clean up and bury the dead. We also need to preserve the destroyed village within the mountains, and to ensure that the three vampires won’t lose control of themselves. It’s already late afternoon when we reach the shore. Princess Kissa and the others are waiting outside. She runs to Theo’s embrace and smothers him with kisses. I look away. It still hurts seeing him holding another woman. I walk towards Ami and see that she’s wounded. “Hi Kaiya, how was the inside of the island?” “Crazy,” I reply. I kneel before her and check her wound. “You are being careless. You slipped on a rock?” “She did,” Elroy’s voice comes. “We were walking earlier on the other side of the beach, when she suddenly screams, and then, a thud.” “It was slippery!” Ami defends. “Flat foot,” he teases. “Oh, that’s a nice view. See the King and the Princess? They’re kissing a lot.” “Maybe we’ll hear some steamy sounds coming from their tent tonight
The Shrewd King Chapter 102 - Inanna, the Vampire Priestess
It’s dark already and the three vampires have become more energetic. They have been offering their help to the other warriors a lot. Although every time they did, warriors will squeal at their proximity. Tomorrow is our last day on this island. We are just finishing things up before we leave. They plan to make this place a Pitchford station, but since the plan is not yet final, Princess Kissa’s barrier around the island will do for now. I grunt when I hear Princess Kissa moaning and screaming again. I cover my ears. She should stop being a screamer every time she is in her climax. For the goddess’s sake, does she not get ashamed of it?! I’ve heard from Harbin the etiquettes of being a Princess, and this is not one of them! And damn that Theo! How dare he make her feel so good?! ‘Because you don’t want to be in his bed anymore,’ my mind answers. I shake my head at the frustrating thought. Thankfully, Inanna is approaching. As I spend more time with the vampires, I discover that the
The Shrewd King Chapter 103 - Fireworks
It’s already dark when everyone has boarded the ship. Ami is high-strung and edgy, so I know that something is up. “Aren’t we leaving now?” I ask Elroy when I see him holding a barrel of something. It smells like alcohol. “Where are you going to bring that?” “The King decided to ah—stay for another night,” he stutters. “Why are you nervous?” Then, the smell of alcohol is overpowered by the smell of lavender. I turn to look at Theo before he calls my name. I bow my head at him–something he didn’t like me doing. “What are you doing here, my King?” I ask. I glance at Elroy and he is already scurrying away from us. “It’s night already. Shouldn’t you be with Princess Kissa? Or do you need me to guard you for tonight?” He takes my hands and pushes a couple of white flowers on them. “For you,” he says. I look at it. “Lily,” I whisper. Its six petals are gleaming and its reddish-brown anthers are still noticeable even with only the night lamps. “Casa Blanca Lily. You can smell it.
The Shrewd King Chapter 104 - Recrudesce
The sea is a symphony. It is a poem of cries and noises and the screaming of gulls and whales. With just its sound, I know we are close to the shore. I close my eyes and take in a deep breath. There is a swirl of sour and sweet smells. I smile. It’s wonderful and, at the same time, terrifying. Werewolves are not meant to be at sea. We should be in the forest, running across the shade of the trees. I open my eyes. There’s still sea for miles, even if I know we will arrive soon–probably tonight. But in the meantime, I will enjoy this scenery, where the sky and sea meet, as if they belong to the same realm. Ami drapes her arms on my shoulders and remarks, “Are you sure that one glass of alcohol is enough for you?” “Yes,” I answer. We turn our attention toward the center of the deck where a long wooden table is erected. The warriors are resting under the sunshades while others are huddled around one end of the table. But some loud ones are laughing and bumping fists with each other e
