Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Shrewd King: Kabanata 91 - Kabanata 100

I scrunch my nose as I enter Theo’s room—lavender mixed with alcohol. The windows are closed and there are over a dozen bottles of alcohol on the coffee table. Princess Kissa is not here. Theo is leaning over the couch with his arms covering his eyes. “Harbin, I said don’t nag me,” he says. “I want to be alone, unless you can force her to come see me, then don’t come here.” He laughs bitterly by himself. “That is, if you can drag her to me because lately, that’s the only way she will see me other than to perform her duties to me.” He laughs again, and then, he abruptly stops and keeps silent. General Brandon and I look at each other. “Laquisha can work too, King Theo,” General Brandon says. I approach him. Theo looks… ragged. He snorts. “Then, I should have a thousand of those made. Do you think you can make that happen, General Brandon?” “A bow and arrow made of laquisha are already enough,” I say. “I don’t need a thousand of laquisha.” Theo freezes and he removes his arm over

Theo and Princess Kissa are flirting while having their dinner. She keeps on feeding him and Theo is all smiles as he accepts the food. There are also some touches here and there, most especially kisses that Kissa gives to his face. I guess she adores how Theo looks. I sigh and look away when Princess Kissa places another kiss on the bridge of his nose. We are traveling to Pitchford island where new monsters sprouted. As per Theo’s order, we set up chairs and tables on the deck. And so, as the couple flirts, I stand on the side while the other warriors are doing their tasks around. Still, they can’t help but glance at the two. But who would blame them? The couple is both good-looking. And they are f*ucking too sweet that I learned how to empty my mind, or else this dull ache in my chest will grow and I will do something that I would regret later on. A few meters away from me, I see Ami looking at me with worry again. She doesn’t need to feel sorry for me, though. I am already too t

Stepping onto the island, I feel my blood curdle. I look at the other ten warriors with me. There’s also General Lorant and Klevon. They are all tensed. Even Theo is scouring the area with eagle-eyed focus. It’s understandable. Something is wrong within this island, but I guess that’s always the accompanying feeling every time humans play with the gods. The last time humans tried to commune with the gods, werewolves are created. However, soon, it causes a war that claimed thousands, if not millions, of lives. I see Theo’s eyes shift on me. He moves towards me, but I look away and follow General Lorant. He is already making his way toward the island. Entering the foliage, it’s become even worse. There is a suffocating fog and everything is wet. Suddenly, I smell lavender. Theo is beside me as I turn. I frown at him. He catches my hand as I move away. “Stay with me, Kaiya. This…” he mutters. “… is unnatural.” As if proving his point, he raises his palm. Water erupts from his open p

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

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
