The King’s Bad Habit

It happened in a large luxurious room. As if we had returned to ancient times, the decoration and furniture looked so antique and old-fashioned. The mystical ambiance also felt very strong.

There was a man surrounded by four women in bed. Everyone were naked. They were also in a position that was too seductive to describe.

The man was none other than Zephyr, the highest reins of power in the southern werewolf world, Notos Kingdom. Meanwhile, those women were four of the dozens of concubines he had. It was as if he had forgotten that he already had a mate, the king seemed to be having so much fun with the mistresses. What a lowly habit he had.

“Do you like it, Your Majesty?” One of the women who was massaging his shoulders asked. Her hands kept pressing on his broad shoulders, but her lips were too close to the king's neck, sniffing him like a dog.

“Uhm, so-so…” He replied calmly while closing his eyes.

"How about my service, Your Majesty? Do you like it?"

"I also want to know what you think of me, Your Majesty.”

“Me too…”

The concubines began to compete with each other to get the best response. They tried hard to impress the alpha king, in the hope of being his - other - mate.

That position had only been occupied by one woman for hundreds of years. However, she was called an ungrateful empire that had wasted the opportunity by leaving the king alone to find her dead ex-mate. It was like an open secret within the palace.

Even so, King Zephyr still loved his mate. Although he craved other women's sensual touch to replace his absent lover, it was said that it was never enough for him. He got bored easily, picked up and threw them away as he wanted, and never valued them better than substitutes. He swore that in his entire life, there would only be one mate. She was someone he always adored, even though it was never reciprocated. Someone who made him have the heart to betray his former best friend.

"You are all so lousy. You guys can't even arouse me," he said as he swung one leg, nearly hitting a woman who was crouching there. "Get lost!"

"But, Your Majesty--"

"I told you to leave. All of you. Call Commander Julio to face me instead."

The women looked reluctant and even humiliated by that, but they were forced to comply. They didn't even have time to put their dresses back on when Zephyr shouted for them to quickly get out of his sight. It was better to leave than deal with his terrible mood.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door. Another man who looked dashing with his palace guard armor set entered the room.

"How may I help you, Your Majesty?" he asked submissively to the still-naked alpha king.

"Lillianne... do you know where she is now?" asked the leader.

"I am sorry that I don't have an idea for that yet, Your Majesty."

It wasn't Julio's fault. Zephyr himself decided when they needed to track Lillianne's whereabouts or not. He already knew very well that his queen liked to disappear, so Zephyr was often tired of dealing with her. He only did that when he started to miss her or wanted to mobilize her troops.

Just like now.

"It's been 18 years since I last saw her, isn't it? At that time, we even had to follow her to Hong Kong. That woman, I don't understand why she never even learned from this hundreds of years of experience. How could she leave a palace as magnificent as this and live like a bum out there?"

"I think she still has hope of meeting the late Alpha King Leander, Your Majesty. As we know, he still has one more reincarnation left," Julio argued carefully so as not to spoil the king's mood.

"Last reincarnation, huh?" Zephyr laughed at that. "As if he can survive. I always easily killed him three times without breaking a sweat. Funny how she hopes that this time it will be different, especially in a modern era like now where human physique is the weakest compared to those before them."

Julio nodded to every bluffing he said. As the person the king trusted most, this was a task he had carried out for around seven years. He had even accompanied Zephyr since he eliminated King Leander. He was so loyal to him.

"Let's find her again now. I miss her. Lately, I haven't enjoyed my time with any woman at all. None of them can satisfy me. As you know, only Lillianne can cure me in this situation. I have to sleep with her again even if it means forced as before."

Julio nodded, "I will do that, Your Majesty."

"Oh, I also want you to get rid of the four concubines because I no longer need them. As well as concubines number 5, 10, and 1. Looks like I need some new faces now."

"Alright. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

"Tell the court to prepare warm water with jasmine buds for me to bathe in and provide chamomile tea too. Tell concubines 17, 9, 3, and 15 to wait for me there. Everything must be ready in 15 minutes, understand?"

"I will do it straight away, Your Majesty."

The commander left after that, while Zephyr remained on the bed with his bare body. His eyes then turned to a large painting of himself and Lillianne on the wall.

'I hope this ends soon. Once Leander's last reincarnation appears and I kill him, then there is nothing stopping me from having Lillianne. I will also lock her up so that she will never leave the palace again forever. I have tolarate her enough.'

He turned his gaze out the window. The sky looked so bright outside.

'Just wait for me, Lillianne. Whichever part of the world you are in, I will find you soon.'
