Fated Reborn: The Wolf King's Bride novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14

Nyssa pov

Kieran looked at me in disbelief, his hands clenching by his sides as his expression shifted from shock to anger.

This wasn’t the first time I’d hit him since my reincarnation. I’d slapped him during the wedding too when he tried to touch me. And honestly, that was the plan moving forward.

Every time he dared to lay a hand on me, I would hit him again and again, with every ounce of strength I had until his face was bruised, swollen, until he finally understood that I didn’t want to be touched by him.

“Nyssa! Why would you-” Aria gasped, the first to speak.

Of course she did. She was worried about her mate.

But I ignored her, stepping closer to Kieran. My eyes narrowed into a glare as I sneered, watching the way his jaw clenched. His eyes flashed a dangerous shade of red, the color of his werewolf fighting for control, probably ready to tear me apart.

But I didn’t care. He didn’t scare me.

“This will be the last time I tell you not to touch me. Do you understand?” I spat. “Do not lay your fucking hands on me again. If I have to repeat myself, you won’t like what I’ll do to you.”

He blinked, clearly taken aback by the venom in my voice. His eyes locked onto mine, searching for an explanation, as if he couldn’t believe what he’d just heard. For a moment, he didn’t move. He just stared.

And then when I didn’t speak, he finally opened his mouth.

“Nyssa… why would you- why would you hit me?” he asked, voice low, his expression soft.

The kind of expression he wore would’ve made the old me feel bad, guilty, even. But not this time. This time, I merely scoffed, folding my arms across my chest and tilting my head to the side.

“Didn’t you hear me say I didn’t want you touching me? Or are you deaf?” I snapped. “I hit you because I don’t want your hands on me. Every time you touch me, I’ll keep hitting you. So don’t even think about laying your filthy hands on me again.”

Kieran’s gaze darkened, his confusion laced with growing fury as he stepped closer. His brow furrowed.

“What are you talking about, Nyssa? I don’t understand any of this. Why are you acting like this? Even at the wedding, you were-”

He reached out to touch my arm.

Big mistake.

I raised my hand again, ready to strike him, but this time he was faster. His hand shot out, gripping my wrist tightly and. yanking me toward him. His eyes blazed, now fully consumed by his wolf.

“Nyssa!!” he roared, and my gaze narrowed on him. I was about to raise my other hand to slap him again, but in the next second, Kieran’s grip was yanked away from mine.

I blinked and turned, only to find my father standing between us, his back to me as he faced Kieran with a deep frown etched onto his face.

Chapter 14

Silence.

No one spoke. The air grew thick, pulsing with a charged intensity that sent a shiver down my spine. I couldn’t see Kieran’s face, but the way he staggered back slightly told me everything I needed to know.

My father was staring him down with the full force of his Alpha aura pressing down on him.

“What do you think you’re doing?” my father hissed, stepping forward as Kieran staggered back in fear.

Almost immediately, my eyes lit up and an idea popped into my head. I stepped aside, positioning myself next to my father with a slight smile, watching as Kieran’s eyes widened in panic. He quickly dropped to his knees, head slightly bowed as he scrambled to defend himself.

“A-Alpha, please forgive me. I didn’t mean any disrespect. I was just… a little upset with my fiancée,” he stammered.

I scoffed at the word fiancée. Did he still think I was going to marry him? What a joke.

“Upset?” my father repeated, his voice booming with fury. “You call that killing intent, upset?”

Killing intent?

My eyes widened even more, and my grin stretched. He was staring at me with killing intent?

“You’re such a weird person,” the voice in my head sneered. “Are you seriously that happy he was glaring at you like he wanted to kill you? Do you not realize he actually meant it?”

I blinked and responded to it calmly, “Was it really strong?”

There was a pause. “What?”

“The killing intent- was it strong? Was it obvious he wanted to kill me?”

It stayed silent for a brief moment before casually replying, “Eh… you could say that. Father sensed it, so yeah, it was pretty

obvious.”

I ignored its use of the word father and bit my bottom lip, trying to hide my smile as I turned my attention back to the

scene.

“K-killing intent?” Kieran stammered. “Alpha, I would never… it was a mistake! I would never look at my fiancée like that!”

“Yes, uncle, I mean Alpha,” Aria stepped forward with a sweet smile directed at my father. “You must have been mistaken. I don’t think-”
