Fated Reborn: The Wolf King's Bride novel Chapter 118

Chapter 118

Nyssa pov

The ride back to the packhouse was quiet. Darius didn’t speak or even glance at me the entire time. Not that he usually spoke to me, but this time left

different, different from his usual disdain or cold avoidance. I could sense it had to do with something more.

Maybe that was why I couldn’t take my eyes off him. Every now and then, I’d catch myself sneaking glances at Darius, my gaze lingering on him before f realized what I was doing and quickly looked away before he could catch me.

So when I turned to look at him for the fifth time and saw him staring emotionlessly into the distance, lost in thought, something in my chest ached. I frowned, pressing a hand to my heart, fighting the sudden urge to lean in, to somehow make him smile, to wipe away thesadness on his face. But! quickly shook myself, forcing my gaze to the window, trying to ignore the pounding of my heart.

He would kill me if I did that.

“What the hell is wrong with me? Why am I suddenly feeling bad for that man?” I whispered under my breath in disbelief.

“This is the same man who spared my life just because I was a white breed, only useful to him for breaking his curse. So why do I feel bad?”

I tilted my head slightly and let out a disbelieving chuckle.

“So what if he’s trying to end his life using me? Why should I care? He’s lived for centuries already… so why do I care?”

“I don’t know if I should find this funny or if I should be worried about you, Nyssa. Are you seriously talking to yourself right now?” Sheila’s voice echoed in my head, making me freeze. I frowned at her words before responding through the mindlink.

“I could say the same thing! I don’t even know if I should be crying or laughing right now because, what is going on? Did you hear him say I can break the curse as a white breed? That I can end the Lycan King’s eternity and let him die? I knew something was off when he brought me here, but I never imagined it was because of this!”

I was panicking, my thoughts spiraling. It wasn’t just about being the one who could break Darius’s curse, it was the weight of how much worse my situation had become.

Kieran was still missing. My pack wasn’t safe. And now… if anyone learned I could end Darius’s eternity, I knew the attention I’d get would be anything but good.

I bit my bottom lip, lost in thought.

How many people would want to see Darius fall? How many would crave the throne?

Think about it, Darius had ruled for centuries, not just because of his power but because he couldn’t die. He was untouchable. Unbeatable. But now…

My hands clenched into fists as I instinctively turned to look at Darius, only to find his piercing eyes already fixed on me.

I gasped, my breath catching as my body froze, my own eyes widening in shock.

Oh my goddess.

My body went rigid almost immediately as Darius narrowed his gaze on me. It felt as if the world had stopped, my breath hitching when his cold, unblinking stare met mine. Tilting his head slightly to the side, his voice low and unreadable, he murmured,

“What do you want to say?”

He leaned back, crossing his arms and legs as though waiting for me to speak, but all I could do was point to myself in confusion.

“Me?” I asked stupidly

His eyes narrowed further, his head tilting just slightly.

“Don’t you have something to say? Isn’t that why you keep staring at me?”

I swallowed hard, my face heating in an instant.

Shit. He’d seen me staring. But what stunned me even more was

that he was actually giving me a chance to speak, he wasn’t ignoring me

Something told me this was a once–in–a–lifetime moment. If I didn’t take it, I might never get another chance.

Before I could even think to stop myself, the words tumbled out.

“Is it true?! What you asked the moon goddess… is it true that I can break your curse and you’re–you’re going to…

My voice faltered on the word die, afraid it would anger him. But his expression didn’t shift, not even slightly–as he stared at me in silence for what felt like an eternity.

I muttered under my breath, my eyes dropping, unable to meet his gaze.

“Is that why you brought me here… so you can break your curse and die?”
