Fated Reborn: The Wolf King's Bride novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27

Nyssa pov

“I–I just wanted to spend time with you and Kieran. I didn’t know you’d get so upset and push me like that. If you’re mad at me, then I apologize, Nyssa.”

“Look at her, she probably pushed Aria because she’s jealous.”

“I didn’t expect this from the Alpha’s daughter. This is honestly disappointing… and Aria has been nothing but kind to her.”

Those were the murmurs that had surrounded me in the past as I stood there, confused and unsure of what was happening. Aria cried, Kieran comforted her, and his harsh glare pierced through me. Back then, I truly believed I had done something wrong, that I was the one at fault even though deep down, I knew I hadn’t pushed her.

Here we were, reliving the same scene all over again.

And just as I expected, Aria began her act just like in the past.

“I— I just wanted to speak to you. I didn’t know you’d get so upset and push me like that. If you’re mad at me, then I apologize, Nyssa.”

She stepped forward quickly, her voice loud and clear- loud enough for everyone nearby to hear. And though her words were framed as an apology, it was obvious she was shifting the blame onto me, making it seem like I had pushed her on

purpose.

I could feel everyone’s gazes on me especially his gaze. Darius. He had been silently watching from behind me, not uttering a single word since the drama started. Not that I expected him to.

“Nyssa,” Aria took another hesitant step toward me, careful this time not to touch me. “Please don’t misunderstand the situation. I was just falling, and Kieran caught me. We came together after hearing you were shopping here since you wouldn’t return our calls.”

She then turned to Kieran, eyes wide and innocent. “Right, Kieran?”

Kieran’s frown deepened, his hair falling messily across his face, dark circles under his eyes and stubble lining his jaw. Kieran was a handsome man who always paid attention to his appearance, so the only reason he looked so unkempt now was likely because of the chaos surrounding everything lately.

He sighed, running a hand through his hair before finally speaking.

“Yes, Nyssa. We haven’t been able to reach you, so we came here after hearing you were at the mall with the…” He paused, his gaze briefly flickering behind me. And if I wasn’t imagining things, I could’ve sworn I saw a flash of jealousy in his eyes but it was gone just as quickly as it appeared. “With the king” He completed his sentence with a frustrated sigh.

My expression didn’t change as I stared at the two people in front of me, the whispers from the crowd reaching my ears.

“Huh? Is she ignoring Kieran and Aria now because she’s the king’s mate now? Is that why she canceled the wedding?” One voice murmured quietly.

Another voice chimed in, a little louder, “I think so. I pity Kieran, to be honest. I bet he still loves Lady Nyssa, but she already belongs to the king well… at least the rejection ceremony”

The corner of my lips twitched, and I couldn’t help but shake my head. Taking a step forward, I refrained from saying anything- refrained from defending myself like I had in the past because the old me would have been scrambling for an explanation to prove that I didn’t do anything wrong. Instead, I reached out for a pink floral dress, lifting it up as I tilted my

head slightly to the side, examining it thoughtfully.

“This would look really pretty on Serene.” I murmued to myself and nodded with a slight smile.

Almost instantly, the chatter around me died down, and I could feel their confused gazes on me. I didn’t need to see their faces to know what their expressions were like, especially Kieran and Aria’s. After everything that had been said, I had made the decision to ignore them, and honestly, I didn’t care.

“I’ll take this,” I said calmly, handing the pink floral dress to the sales assistant who stood silently beside me. She lowered her head with a professional smile and took it from me. I turned around, reaching for another dress, but this time, Aria seemed to snap out of her daze and called out to me.

“N–Nyssa, what are you doing-”

“I’m ignoring you,” I said, my voice low but loud enough for everyone to hear. “Can’t you see that now, or are you blind?”

“W–what?” Aria stammered, her disbelief clear in her voice. I sighed, removing my hand from the dress and standing straighter, letting my cold gaze settle on her. A frown etched itself onto my face, and almost instantly, she froze, her eyes widening as she met my stare.

“You heard me,” I said, my voice unwavering. “I said I was ignoring you, just like how I ignored your calls and messages. But it seems you can’t get the hint.”

Aria parted her lips, about to say something, but I cut her off, my gaze turning sharp as I pointed to Kieran, who was watching me with a frown.

“The hint that I don’t want to speak to or see either of you again. That I want you to leave me alone and not bother me anymore. Is that so difficult to understand?” I asked, and I could feel the gasps ripple through the crowd around me.

“Oh my goddess!” someone murmured, and the hushed whispers quickly spread among the crowd.

Aria stared at me in disbelief, her mouth hanging open as though she couldn’t comprehend that I had just said that. Before she could muster a response, Kieran stepped forward, shielding her behind him. He stopped in front of me, his eyes filled with a mix of anger and confusion.

“Nyssa, what is wrong with you” he began, reaching out as if to touch me. But I suppose the slaps I had given him yesterday made him hesitate, his hand freezing mid–air before he quickly pulled it back. His gaze locked with mine, and for the first time, I could see the uncertainty in his eyes as though he was staring at a complete stranger.

My gaze remained cold as I lifted my head to meet his eyes. When I didn’t respond, he let out a deep sigh and leaned closer, whispering under his breath.
