Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't want to come in here but Jade threw me in. I'll leave right away. I'm sorry for intruding" Freya spoke in a flustered tone.

She kowtowed as she did, which was quite funny to see. After that, she got up and tried to go back through the portal without waiting for Muku to say anything...

"Ahhhhh!"

Unfortunately for her, Muku had other plans. Just when she was about to walk through the portal, an invisible force dragged her backwards. She screamed powerlessly as she got closer and closer to Muku.

Soon she was standing before him and looking him in the eyes since he had turned her around.

She tried to look away but his grey eyes entrapped her and she couldn't look away. Maybe because she had figured out her feelings for him, she found it harder and harder not to look at him.

"Is there something on my face? Let me see it in your eyes" Muku asked teasingly while bringing his face closer to hers.

The girl instantly panicked and did the only thing she could think of doing. And that was to close her eyes and brace for impact.

As for what that impact was, she didn't know, but it looked like a kiss. It had to be a kiss. But to think they'd kiss so soon. How scandalous!

A few seconds went by and nothing happened. She had even subconsciously puckered up her lips to meet Muku's kiss. And yet it didn't come.

She confusedly opened her eyes and looked at Muku again. The confusion in her eyes was as thick as it could get as she silently asked why he didn't do anything.

Not only did he not kiss her, but he has even stepped back a bit. Which was the opposite of what she wanted. Of course, she wouldn't admit it even if she were to be beaten to death.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I wanted to look at my face in your eyes, but you closed them. And that obviously means you don't want me to do that. So, I backed up. Was there something else you were expecting me to do?" Muku spoke while barely holding in a laugh.

Freya was so fun to mess with. She was a lot more innocent than the other girls despite being older. He was certain that if it was Jade, Emily, Layla or even Chloe he had teased like that, they would have definitely jumped on him.

Yet the innocent Freya just stood there while puckering her lips ready to receive the kiss with her eyes shut and a deep blush across her face.

She was so cute and funny at the moment that he almost pinched her cheeks before holding himself back.

"I ah... Kiss... Huh? No! I mean, nothing! I wasn't expecting anything at all. Something got into my eyes which is why I closed them. I didn't mean it in a bad way. I swear!" Freya replied in an even more flustered tone than before.

There was no way she would admit that she was expecting a kiss even if she kinda did for a second there...

"Oh, okay. So what you're saying is that now I can look?" Muku asked with a little smile dancing on his lips.

Bullying the shy Freya was sick fun that he couldn't help himself. She was like a breath of fresh air from the other girls who were either overtly or covertly aggressive.

"No! I mean, yes, if that's what you want. However, your face looks amazi... I mean, it looks fine. So there's no need to do that" The flustered Freya continued stumbling on herself.

She has never been alone with Muku. Like ever. Even when it seemed like she was alone, it had never been true since there was always Iris looking on from inside her, but now, Iris seems to have been left behind with her body. So for the first time ever, she was completely alone with Muku and her brain was barely working.

"Oh? So there's no issue with it? I trust you, so, I'll take your word for it" Muku replied with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Yeah", Freya replied while nodding like a crazy person. Internally she was screaming in excitement from how Muku said he trusted her.

"Now, why did you want to go back just then? Did you not miss me? Which would be sad because I missed you a lot" Muku continued with his teasing just when Freya thought he was done.

She was instantly thrown into another panic just when she was about to calm down.

"What no! I missed you too. I missed you a lot and thought about you every day!" She exclaimed loudly without thinking.

She then got embarrassed immediately after and covered her face with her hands.

"Is that so? Then why did you not come to hug me like the others back then?" Muku continued.

"I was embarrassed since there were so many people there" Freya spoke while still covering her face with her hands. She felt more confident that way.

"Really? Okay. There aren't any people here other than the two of us. So, why don't you go ahead and do it?" Muku pushed forward.

While he was definitely enjoying bullying Freya. He was also doing it for her. He had seen how much she wanted to hug him back then but didn't dare to do so. And as a fair leader, he would never leave a teammate behind, whether literally or figuratively.

And so, here he was giving her what she wanted even if there were some extra steps involved. That was definitely the main reason, not that he wanted to feel her soft body pressed up against his own again. He had more integrity than that...

"Okay", Freya who was embarrassed but more than happy to hug Muku walked forward until she was in his grasp. Her hands were still on her face.

Muku didn't mind that and held her closely then he whispered, "I missed you a lot into her ear" which made the girl shiver a little. She had never been as happy as she was in that moment. She wished the moment would last forever but unfortunately, it couldn't.

She knew that there were others behind her, so she couldn't take up too much of Muku's time. She had already gotten way more than she expected or hoped for. And that was enough for the time being.

And so, she jumped out of Muku's hug and ran toward the portal. This time Muku let her go and she shouted, "I missed you too, just before entering through the portal.

Muku gently smiled while thinking of the heartwarming experience he just had.

"Look at you. If that smile was any wider, the top of your head would have fallen off. It must be nice to have so many girls throwing themselves at you" a cocky voice sounded as another girl stepped through the portal. An arrogant smile was plastered on the girl's face.

"Umm, didn't you say you weren't going to talk to me again? So why are you even here? And do you think the amount of spanking you're going to receive is fixed? Well, let me tell you this before you make it worse. The amount you'll receive cannot decrease, but it can increase based on your actions. So you better choose your words wisely brat" Muku spoke before Jade said anything more.

"You know, calling someone you're sexually attracted to is rather odd" Jade didn't choose the verbal fight despite what she said when she came in.

"...." Muku was left speechless. She had shut him up with one line.

It reminded him of how he only wins their verbal battles because Jade lets him as she's usually too lazy to use her brain.

However, when she's feeling like it. He stood no chance.

"Hehe. So, aren't you going to give me a hug like the others? Or maybe a spicy make-out session like you had with Layla? Speaking about that, it was so random and unexpected. Do you have a soft spot for girls who are fragile with you or something? Should I do the same?" Jade began rumbling on and on.

However, unlike normal times. Muku couldn't dismiss her words. The reason for that was pretty obvious, actually...

"Wait... How do you know about that? Don't tell me I'm being spied on?!" Muku asked while moving forward and grabbing Jade's shoulders.

"Oops... I guess I shouldn't have said that huh?... It's really hard to function properly with this trash bloodline of mine, it's messing me up. Well, whatever, it's not like I said something which isn't true" Jade spoke to herself while being held by Muku.

Her eyes seemed to get a little hazy as she did. Instead of getting angry and shouting at her like Jade expected, Muku pulled her in for a hug instead.

"What the? This isn't what was supposed to happen. You're going against the script! Are you sick or something? Has your old age finally caught up to you? Sure, you're only 21, but you achieved so much stuff before the apocalypse you might as well be 50 inside" Jade asked Muku without backing out of the hug.

Despite her trying to take a jab at Muku, her voice had gotten a lot gentler and the arrogance had disappeared.

"What's wrong with your bloodline. Can you tell me about? Is it what you wanted to talk about before I was transported here?" Muku asked Jade softly.

As someone who was quite observant of his girls, he had long noticed that there was something wrong with Jade. She seemed to be battling for control against herself or something.

Sure, she was usually unhinged, but that was different from the current her. Before, she was always in control despite everything, but the current her, she seemed to be barely holding on to that control.

After Chloe, she was the one he wanted to pull aside. But the others came before her so he could only take it as it came.

"...." Jade didn't say anything.

The silence gave Muku a bad feeling. After all, when has Jade ever not had anything to say?...
