Chapter 139
Nyssa pov
My heart was fluttering–for the cold and ruthless lycan king
Thump. Thump. Thump.
That was the sound of my racing heartbeat as I stared at Darius in surprise, my eyes wide, struggling to comprehend what I was feeling and why I was feeling this way.
I wasn’t dumb, and I certainly wasn’t naive. I knew exactly why my heart was reacting like this, it was because of the man standing before me. For the first time since my rebirth, I was feeling something I had sworn to bury the moment the goddess gave me a second chance at life.
So why him? Why now? Why was I feeling this way toward this man, toward the Lycan king, no less?
It wasn’t possible. No, it couldn’t be.
And yet… no matter how much I tried to deny it, the rapid thudding of my heart was undeniable proof.
Or wait-
“Sheila, are you mine, right?”
e one making me feel this way?” I asked through the mind–link. “It’s your heart beating fast, isn’t it? Not
I clung to that hope, it was the only explanation that made sense. But the very next moment, she scoffed.
“Don’t be delusional, Nyssa. You can barely feel my emotions. I’m the one who feels yours and right now, I can tell you’re already smitten with the Lycan king,” she chuckled. “I had a feeling this day would come, but I didn’t think it would be this
Soon.
The corner of my mouth twitched at her words, and I would’ve snarled, if it weren’t for the fact that Darius still had his eyes fixed on me.
Smitten? Give me a break. My heart was probably racing because of how close he was. And besides, he was an attractive man, anyone would feel hot and bothered with him standing this close, so-
“I heard you,” Darius suddenly said, cutting off my train of thought.
A shiver ran down my spine the moment I heard his words and felt the way his grip on my hand tightened.
I snapped out of whatever daze I had been in, my eyes instantly stinging with fresh tears as I stared at him in disbelief.
He had heard me.
Someone had finally heard about my past life.
This was… this was amazing. I didn’t know why he was the one who could hear me, but in that moment, it didn’t matter. Knowing I could speak to someone about it finally, I felt both relieved and unexpectedly happy. A wide grin began to spread across my face.

But before I could utter a single word, he beat me to it
He let go of my hand and slipped his into his pockets, his emotionless eyes still locked on mine.
And when he spoke next, his words hit so hard, my smile dropped faster than lightning.
“And it seems I’ll need to have that doctor check up on you again, since you clearly don’t seem well in the head. But then…” he tilted his head slightly, eyes narrowing slightly as he looked down at me, and every word that followed made me freeze in place, my eyes widening.
“I don’t believe your lack of sanity will interfere with breaking the curse in any way, so I suppose there’s no need to worry about that.
He said it nonchalantly, like it was nothing. But to me, it felt like a punch straight to the gut.
My jaw practically hit the floor, and a scoff of disbelief escaped me as I stared up at Darius.
He looked right back at me, utterly unbothered.
And maybe I was just being delusional, but I could’ve sworn I saw the faintest trace of… pity in his eyes.
alling me crazy?
Was this man seriously calling me crazy?
Me?
Just because I told him about what happened in my past life, something that hadn’t even happened yet, he thought I was insane?
Ah.
A scoff tore from my lips, and I glared at Darius, a mix of anger and frustration burning in my chest but most of all, it was embarrassment that stung the most
There was nothing more humiliating than someone dutright suggesting you weren’t right in the head.
“What did you expect?” Sheila, ever blunt and annoyingly honest, echoed in rpy mind. “You told him you were reborn and that Kieran did all those things to you in a past life, no less, when it hasn’t even happened yet. Did you really think he’d just believe you? If someone told you that, wouldn’t you think they were crazy too?”
I hated how right she was.
Even I would’ve found it hard to believe if the roles were reversed.
And Darius was a cold, calculative and reactional man. Of course he wouldn’t believe something that car
he clearly didn’t want.
Pfft.
I rolled my eyes and flopped back on the bed, staring at the celling with a pout.
I could feel his piercing gaze still on me as he said coldly

I’ll have the doctor come check on you”
“You don’t need to,” I cut him off sharply, turning to face the other side with a huff.
“I’m perfectly fine. I’m not crazy, so you don’t have to worry”
Iyanked the blanket over my face, trying to block him and everything else out.
I knew I was throwing a fit.
