Chapter 018 - Lavender
My head aches. Harbin is even worse than before. Should a King’s lover really know all the knowledge that he’s been drilling into my head? Worse, because it’s Sunday tomorrow, he even gave me books to memorize?! He even threatens me that I need to answer all his geography questions on Monday or I will suffer from the consequences! This is crazy!
“Miss Kaiya, are you okay?” Aditya asks. “Do you need me to prepare a tea for you? Or some sweets?”
I look at Aditya. “Yes, I think that will be good.”
I push open the door and find Theo waiting for me inside. He is sitting on the side of the bed, with his hands clasped together.
“You’re late!” he says. He strides towards me and then embraces me. He sniffs my neck and I automatically tremble in anticipation, remembering what he promised earlier. “I’ve been waiting for an hour…” he whispers.
I close my eyes and grab his arm. I feel my cheeks instantly getting red. And then, I remember Aditya! I pull awa

When the tremors on my body die down, Theo makes me lie on my side, with him behind me. With his arms still around my waist, he raises my left leg to open me up and enters from behind. “Not like this, Theo. It’s embarrassing,” I say. Looking at the way we are joined. “We’ve done it a lot. This is just another way of doing it, Kaiya. There’s no need to be embarrassed now. Just feel it,” he coaxes as he continuously penetrates me. Then he touches my crotch again as he thrusts, massaging it the same way he did it earlier. I close my eyes as his touches are making me shiver in desire again. Before long, I find myself meeting his thrusts and wanting more of him. “Uhh… Theo…” I touch his hand that’s touching my crotch. Everything about him is hard, his body, his member, even the way he hugs me while we copulate. Then, my fingers touch his member while he’s thrusting inside me. I wrap my fingers around it every time he pulls back. It’s sticky and
The Shrewd King Chapter 020 - Bath
Same as when we are back in our travels, we never let each other go until morning. It is Sunday and my muscle aches out of the activity last night. Good thing I told Aditya not to come this morning. I feel Theo’s hands move, brushing against my chest and cupping it. I feel the shiver of desire starting. I look behind me and see that he is still asleep. Is this touch unconscious? I smile and wrap my arms around him. He embraces me in his sleep too. Ah! The smell of lavender is intoxicating. I am about to close my eyes when I feel his hard legs wedging between my legs. I look up at him and see a salacious grin on his face. “Should we restart?” he asks. “I don’t think that’s—Ah!” He starts to rub his legs on my crotch. I close my eyes and cover my mouth. “You still don’t want it? Lunch sex will be nice.” I open my eyes in surprise. Lunch?! It’s already midday?! I evade from his hold and sit up. Bath! I need a bath. And t
The Shrewd King Chapter 021 - Library
“You got one wrong,” Harbin says as he slams the book in front of me. “You do know that this has a consequence?” I nod, ashamed for getting one question wrong. I could have gotten a perfect score if not for Theo who keeps on distracting me with his kisses while I browse through the geography books. Every time I ignore him, he sucks my neck until I am riddled with kiss marks. “Focus!” Harbin groans. “We are in the bastion of education! Not some sexual dungeon where you can freely think about all the naughty things you did with my King.” I instantly redden at the thought. When Harbin raises his brows, I look away and travel my eyes around the library instead. It is a three floors circular dome-like structure, with shelves of books as far as one can see. One shelf is twice as tall as me that there are ladders to be used for those on the top shelves. It is a wonderful place. I’m sure it will be hard to play hide and seek in this place. I bet that I can even u
The Shrewd King 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
The Shrewd King Chapter 023 - Days Apart
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
The Shrewd King Chapter 024 - Jungle
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
