Chapter 116 The Only Way to Treat Jealousy

“Theo?!”

This time, I almost spat out the small amount of liquor in my mouth. I patted my chest until the coughing stopped.

Heat climbed up my face as I thought about the nights in the past week. Every night, I was in Theo's bed and every night, he was so... vigorous and demanding!

He had been eager to explore my body in different ways, and all I could do was give in to the extreme desires and plea- sure under his lead. Once I even questioned him whether he really was a virgin like he claimed himself to be. How else would he seem so experienced at it?

"I'm just that gifted!" he claimed with a mysterious and proud smile.

Now I knew why. So... it turned out that he had asked Jake to do the dirty work for him?!

I pinched the bridge of my nose.

Should I have a conversation with Theo for the sake of Brook and Jake's relationship?

Brook was so worked up now, I didn't think she remem- bered I was there. She was in full-on rant mode.

"Why did he have to make up such obvious lies? We all know that King Theo is single, and he has no interest in wom- en whatsoever. There were a few girls who tried to seduce him

D BON

Touchet and he didn't even spare them a glance! I didn't mean you, Ciana. You're a different case."

"I..."

"I know he cares about you. You're his friend and he re- spects you, but it's not like you guys are together!"

Jake probably hadn't told anyone about Theo and I, and I appreciated that. After all, with everything going on, I wasn't sure it was the right time for us to publicize our relationship, but Brook was someone I could trust to keep a secret.

I probably should let her know that Jake most likely wasn't lying.

But Goddess, how could I even start to explain this?

Should I really just be blunt with Brook that Theo and I had been making love and he probably did ask Jake to do this... assignment?

I felt my face was burning hot. Thankfully, Brook didn't notice that. Even if she did, she would think it was due to the alcohol.

"Um...Brook, there's something I want to tell you..."

"Don't stop me. I know you'll try to defend Jake because he is your friend too! Honestly, I couldn't believe it! I wish he was just honest with me... It's not a big deal if... he wants to read porn, but why would he make up such a lie?"

"Brook, just take a breath..."

Brook took her champagne from me again and took a gentle sip. It seemed like talking about things had allowed her to calm down some.

"I'm sure there is a reasonable explanation. I can ask Theo about it, if you want," I offered, deciding to leave this subject like that.

"No, no. You don't need to, Ciana: This is our problem, and we need to figure it out! You're already kind enough to hear me vent, and you have a lot going on. I won't bother you, and certainly not the king, with my silly issues like this!"

Oh, Brook...

I made a promise in my heart that one day I would clear Jake's name for her.

Instinctively, I searched for Theo in the crowd. He was standing with several other officials.

"Um... we can talk about that later," Brook said. "It seems like they're discussing something important."

I nodded to her and got a little closer to Theo. He'd been so busy all night and I wanted to talk to him before another group of officials took his attention. If I could sneak in when he finished his current conversation, I could get a few sec- onds of his time.

I stood by a pillar, a little out of sight, and heard some of their conversations.

When he caught a glimpse of me, the corner of his lips slightly curled up and formed a faint smile. I was again dazed by his god-like handsome face.

It was still hard to believe that he was mine.

"Now that you've been crowned, it is time for you to start thinking about choosing a Luna Queen, Your Majesty," one of the officials said.

"If you're not ready to choose a queen, you should at least have a concubine and produce an heir. It will keep your blood- line strong and show the kingdom you're committed to stabil- ity and longevity," another said.

"I'm aware of the necessity. I already have a candidate in mind for my Luna Queen," Theo said. "I just need a little more time to think about it."

His eyes shifted to me.

My heart sped up a little and I bit my lower lip.

We hadn't talked about that at all, but of course, I had been thinking about it.

What would my future be like?

I would like to stay by Theo's side... but he was the king! Was I ready to take on the role of the queen?

What if he asked me? What should I say?

If Theo was an ordinary citizen, or an Alpha of any other pack, I would bounce up to hug him and say yes.

However, he was the king! And I wasn't so confident about myself. If I were to be with him, I'd have a lot to learn to live up to the role I was supposed to take as the co-ruler of the country...

"In that case, what should we do with the group of prospective consorts still hanging around the castle, should we dismiss them?" the official asked.

"Hmm..."

I expected Theo to jump on that question and quickly tell the officials to dismiss them all. He'd been wanting to since we all arrived. Now that he and I were taking things to the next level, I thought he'd be happy to send the rest of the girls home.
