Fated Reborn: The Wolf King's Bride novel Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Nyssa’s pov

“No.” I sat up on the bed with a gasp as last night’s events flashed through my mind. Groaning, I held my throbbing head and tried to gather my thoughts.

Yesterday… Kieran and Aria— I inhaled a sharp breath and felt my heart drop.

“My Goddess, Luna, you are awake!” Selene rushed to me, setting aside the bucket of water in her hands.

“What…” my voice was hoarse as I tried to force the words out. “What happened, Selene?”

“Luna,” her eyes reddened as she stared into mine. “Congratulations, Luna. You are pregnant.”

Pregnant?

“What do you mean by pregnant? Who is pregnant?” I must have hit my head hard last night because I was sure I was hearing things.

“The pack doctor came the night you fainted, Luna,” Selene broke down in tears, struggling to find her words. “S-she said you were pregnant, but you didn’t wake up for two days, and I thought something bad had happened.”

“But it was only because you were pregnant… that’s a relief.”

I stared at my flat belly and swallowed hard. I was pregnant. How was I supposed to feel about this? If it had been two nights ago, I would have been excited, but now…

I shook my head to clear my thoughts. This was my child. I shouldn’t be thinking like this.

“What happened that night?” I finally found my voice and asked Selene.

She smiled, her white teeth on display. “Alpha Kieran successfully became the rightful owner of Emberfang Nation. Things are looking up for you, Luna.”

My eyes widened, and I tried to get up from the bed but instantly regretted it as a sharp pain shot through my body, making it feel like I had been hit on the head with a brick.

“Careful, Luna, do not-”

“Where is Kieran?” I cut her off, and she looked at me in confusion before answering.

“He is in the study with the elders of the pack.”

Ignoring the pain that wracked my body, I ran out of the room, Selene’s shouts fading behind me.

I stopped when I reached the study, taking a deep breath. Don’t think about last night, I told myself, trying to focus on something else. But the disgusting scent still lingered, and my mind kept replaying those words from last night.

Aria was Kieran’s mate.

My limbs felt weak, and I stood still for a moment to regain my composure. Just as I was about to open the door, a loud yell from inside made me stop in my tracks.

“What do you mean this is our Luna?”

1/3

“As you can see for yourself, this is the evidence I have received.” The voice that responded was calm- too calm.

I pushed open the door, and almost immediately, all eyes in the study turned to me. Then the whispers began. The pack elders looked at me while murmuring among themselves.

“Did she really do that?”

“No, the Luna isn’t like that.”

What was going on?

“Enough.” Kieran’s deep, commanding voice cut through the room, and I shivered as my legs went weak. Silence followed, apart from the soft ticking of the clock. Each tick sounded louder than the last, like it was counting down to something.

“Leave. I want to speak to her alone.”

There was a chorus of agreement, and once we were alone, I searched his eyes- looking for something. Guilt? Remorse? Anything. I wanted him to explain last night.

Instead, a stack of pictures was thrown at me.

“How do you explain this?” he asked.

I glanced down at the photos on the floor, my eyes widening in shock and confusion. How was this possible?

There were several pictures of me- naked with different people. Pictures of me on my knees, on a bed, tied up, sitting on someone’s lap.

I fell to the floor, clutching the pictures in my trembling hands, my vision blurring.

“W-what is this?”

“You’re asking me?” He scoffed, walking toward me before crouching down slowly, bringing himself to my eye level.

“You want to pretend to be innocent after all this evidence?” My hands shook as I stared into his eyes, desperately searching for the man I once knew.

“No, these are fa-”

“Shh.” He smirked, putting a finger to his lips before roughly gripping my hair. I gasped, watching him in horror.

“Oh, I know, baby,” he laughed, tightening his grip. “You’re telling this to the person who faked the pictures.” His laughter echoed in the room. “But that’s for you and me to know.”

“How could you do this? You accused me of infidelity while you were the one sleeping with my best friend all along!” I yelled, and he snarled, shoving me away with a flick of his fingers.

“Because I can, bitch,” he said, a dangerous glint in his eyes. Then, as if on cue, he put on that kind smile I once knew. “Aria is my fated mate. She is the one I love. You, on the other hand- I only had to mate with a worthless person like you because you were the dead Alpha’s only child.”

He stared at me in disgust. “But since we have known each other for a while, I’ll give you a choice.”

I shivered as he spoke, tears falling down my cheeks when I heard his next words.
