Fated Reborn: The Wolf King's Bride novel Chapter 15

Chapter 15

Nyssa pov

My father had said no without hesitation, and I could still feel everyone’s surprised gazes on me, as if I had just said the most ridiculous thing ever.

Pfft, how was that ridiculous? He wanted to kill me, was it so wrong to want him dead too? But then again, I knew it wasn’t that easy to have Kieran killed. Without a solid reason like treason, my father would never act against him or Aria. And I couldn’t tell him the truth about the past.

That was why I had decided- I’d use the last resort to get Kieran killed before I die.

If I couldn’t kill him before the rejection ceremony, then I would get myself killed and make sure Kieran and Aría took the

blame for it.

“Princess, what is wrong? Are you okay? Why are you angry at Kieran?” Father’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I shifted my gaze to Kieran, shooting him a cold glare before shaking my head.

“No reason. I just don’t like him anymore.”

I turned to Aria, pointing at her as well. “I don’t like her either.”

Aria frowned, but I didn’t care.

“I don’t want to see them again. Not in this packhouse, not anywhere near me. They seem… suspicious.”

Father’s brow rose. “But why? Aria is your best friend and Kieran is your fiancé,” he said, pausing as he turned to them. His eyes narrowed slightly, and I saw the fear flicker in both Kieran and Aria’s expressions. “Or… did they do something bad to you?”

I opened my mouth, desperate to scream yes but the invisible pain from the force that kept me silent about the past still lingered. I forced a shrug.

“I don’t know. They just seem suspicious to me.” I emphasized the word slowly, sus-pi-cious before gesturing at them both. “And for the record, they’re not my best friend or fiancé anymore. I want nothing to do with either of them.”

“But baby, what on earth are you saying-” Kieran stood, but wisely didn’t dare touch me.

I ignored him, turning back to Father with a bright smile.

“I need some fresh air. I’ll go for a run in the woods, it’s been a while.” I whispered the last part and my father frowned before he nodded slowly, turning to Serene.

“Serene,” he called out, and she instantly stiffened, quickly bowing.

“Yes, Alpha.”

“Follow Nyssa and make sure—”

“I want to go alone,” I cut in, reaching for his hands and turning his attention to me. “I just want to be alone for now. I promise, you don’t have to worry about me. I’ll be careful.”

Father narrowed his eyes at my words, but after a moment, he sighed and nodded, giving my hands a gentle squeeze.

“Be careful. You just woke up from a coma, so don’t run around too much,” he said, his tone serious.

I chuckled softly and nodded, then pulled him into a hug, feeling him stiffen at the unexpected gesture.

A warmth bloomed in my chest as I looked at the man I thought I’d never see again.

I missed him.

“Father,” I whispered, my voice catching ever so slightly.

“Thank you,” I added softly before stepping aside.

I turned to Serene, who wore a worried expression. With a small smile, I mouthed the words, “I’ll be back soon.”

Serene seemed to understand and nodded hesitantly.

Then, without sparing the two idiots before me a glance, I moved-heels clicking with each step as I walked past them.

“Nyssa…”

“Baby…”

Both Kieran and Aria called out at once, but I didn’t pause. I didn’t flinch. I didn’t even look back.

I stepped outside, letting the cool air wrap around me like a cloak, then reached inward, calling out to the voice in my head.

“Hey, whoever you are. When we get to the woods, we need to talk. Because I don’t understand any of this, how on earth do I even have a wolf?”

There was silence for a moment. Then a dark, amused chuckle echoed through my mind.

“And here I thought you were still in denial,” she said, her tone laced with dry sarcasm. “Turns out you’re not so dumb after all. Just slightly.”

I rolled my eyes and then continued down the woods.

I exhaled a sharp breath as I stopped and looked around with a smile, my eyes scanning my surroundings. I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply, the earthy and fresh scents of rich soil, damp moss, and decaying leaves. Those familiar smells had always made me feel at ease.

As I took in the once-familiar place only I knew about, a sense of calm washed over me. Not even Serene knew of this spot. It was my secret hideout, the place I escaped to whenever I wanted to be alone with my thoughts. I discovered it when I was around sixteen, and ever since, it had become my sanctuary.

“You’re not the only one who’s been here. Remember that stranger you saw once? You were so surprised, you tried to fight him off with a stick. Haha.”

The voice in my head mocked, and I instantly rolled my eyes. I clutched the heels I had taken off earlier, holding them in one hand as I made my way to a large rock and sat down. Placing the heels beside me, I ran my hand through my hair, exhaling softly before speaking.

“Now talk,” I ordered.

The voice scoffed dramatically, followed by a drawn-out yawn before replying,

“Talk about what, exactly? You know I’m your wolf. If I didn’t know better, I’d think you were disappointed. You should be

thrilled, you’re not wolfless anymore.”

I raised a brow, frowning as I echoed the words.

“My wolf? But how is that even possible? In my past life, I didn’t have a wolf.”
