Chapter 138
Nyssa pov
There was no way he had heard me, right? But how could he, when the goddess herself had made a rule that I was never meant to speak about the past? And even if I did, my words wouldn’t spill out, no one would hear me, and a force would slam into me, stopping me from revealing anything
So how had Darius heard me?
And most of all, why wasn’t that brutal force slamming against me now?
My eyes were wide as I waited for Darius to speak, just something, anything so I could convince myself I had misheard him. But instead, his eyes narrowed when I didn’t respond, and he repeated himself.
“I asked you a question. What do you mean by past life?”
I gasped at his words, and as he continued, I almost felt my heart explode from shock.
“Who betrayed and killed you? What are you talking about?
His voice was low, and even though he was simply asking a curious question, his expression didn’t change in the slightest as he stared at me.
But once again, I didn’t respond. The silence stretched on, and that seemed to annoy Darius, because his lips tugged into
a frown.
The next second, just as he opened his mouth to speak again, I cut him off by suddenly jumping on the bed. I reached out and grabbed his shoulders, taking him completely by surprise, and pulled him toward me, my eyes lighting up with profound hope and happiness as I basically screamed,
“You can hear me? Can you really hear what I just said about the past?!”
A wide grin stretched across my lips as I stared at the man before me, who looked stunned, his gaze flickering to my hands on his shoulders.
Darius had that look of disbelief, that I’d actually had the guts to touch him like that and was holding onto him.
But I didn’t care.
Not when someone could finally hear about my past!
Oh goddess, what was happening?
Had the rule the Moon Goddess placed on me vanished?
Could I finally speak freely about what happened in my past life?
“Did you truly hear what I said?” I asked excitedly. And when Darius didn’t answer, his eyes still fixed on my hand on his shoulder, I didn’t mind. Instead, I tried to say something else, needing to confirm it, even though I had clearly heard him repeat my sentence just now.

Chapter 138
Still, I swallowed hard, partially bracing for the pain of the force that might slam into me in case I was truly being
delusional.
“If you could hear me the last time, then can you please tell me if you can hear what I’m about to say? That the reason want to find Kieran is because I want to take my revenge on him for what he did to me in my past life?
“He lied, took advantage of me, and destroyed everyone who mattered to me, everything I loved, My father, Uncle Benjamin, Calen, Serena… he slaughtered most of my pack in the attack he orchestrated. And in the end… he stole my pack and killed me but I was reborn, given a second chance to change my fate”
I said everything in one breath, and as Darius lifted a brow at me, I tightened my grip on his shoulders, leaning closer until our faces were just inches apart. A smile of excitement tugged at my lips.
“Did you
hear all of that? Please tell me you did… that you heard everything, everything please…” I whispered under my breath, instinctively tightening my grip on his shoulders without realizing it.
Please tell me you heard every word. It didn’t matter if it was him, the cold Lycan king who could hear me but I just wanted to be heard. I needed someone to listen, to know the pain and heartache I had endured. I wanted them to understand how sorry I felt for my loved ones, how I failed them and that I promised in this life, I wouldn’t be the one needing protection. I would be the one taking care of everyone, ensuring they lived longer than they did before.
My eyes almost glazed over as I stared at Darius, waiting for him to speak. To tell me if he had heard me. But the man just watched, his face unreadable, no emotion showing. He didn’t say a word.
In that moment, as I stared into his eyes, all the excitement drained from me. My smile faltered, and reality sank in. What was wrong with me? Why was I acting like this? There was no way he could hear me. My father couldn’t hear me. Serena couldn’t. Even that bastard Kieran couldn’t. And did I seriously expect this stranger, someone who clearly disliked me, to actually hear me?
A frown tugged at my lips, and I sniffed back the unshed tears. Slowly, I released my grip on Darius’s shoulders and leaned back, muttering a quiet apology.
“F–forgive me, Alpha. I apologize for touching you, I was…”
My words trailed off, and I stiffened, eyes widening in shock as I stared at Darius, who had suddenly grabbed my hand, stopping me from moving away.
