Fated Reborn: The Wolf King's Bride novel Chapter 41

Nyssa pov

Kieran and Aria were here?

I didn’t want to believe the maid, but to my shock, my father’s eyes flashed with deadly killing intent. The air in the room turned cold, a shiver racing down my spine. But in the blink of an eye, it vanished as if it had never been there at all.

He stood up and inclined his head toward Darius in a show of respect before speaking.

Apologies, my king. I must excuse myself for a moment.”

Darius gave him a curt nod, clearly uninterested.

My father’s gaze lingered on me for a heartbeat, unreadable, then he turned and exited the dining room, with Calen and Benjamin bowing swiftly before following after him.

I raised a brow, and then a slow smile curved across my lips. Without hesitation, I stood and turned briefly to Serene, tapping her lightly on the shoulder.

You should keep eating. The chef will bring out your cake in a moment,” I said, and she looked up at me, blinking in confusion before slowly nodding her head.

Then, without meeting the gazes of the men watching me, I smiled and casually addressed the chef.

Please make sure there are candles on her cake. Thank you.”

With that, I rushed out of the dining room, my heart pounding in my chest.

I couldn’t believe it- Kieran and Aria were actually here?

I didn’t know whether my father had called them or if they’d come running after hearing their little secret might’ve been exposed. Either way, this was going to be exciting. I couldn’t wait to hear whatever excuse they’d cook up. And if I could expose that they were mates and knew it all along? Even better.

I give up,” Sheila muttered beside me. I can’t believe you’re still so focused on revenge- on taking down Kieran and Aria. Don’t get me wrong, I want that too, but I also want us to live. I finally got out after being locked away, and you finally have your life back. It’s not even been a week, and we’re already marching toward death. This can’t be our fate.”

I froze, her words cutting deep. She was right. Sheila hadn’t been there in my past life because I was wolfless. But now she was here. And I wasn’t wolfless anymore.

It was everything I had wantedbut now?

Now it just felt like I didn’t deserve a second chance.

As long as they’re all okay, Sheilaas long as they get to live- then I’m fine with whatever happens to me.I took a deep breath and continued, They all laid down their lives for me back then, and that was my biggest mistake. It wasn’t dyingit was letting them die. If this second chance is meant for me to fix that, to right my wrongs, then so be it.

Everything I said came from the deepest part of me. More than anything, I just wanted to keep everyone safeeven if it cost me my life.

Sheila was silent for a moment, and I clicked my tongue, shrugging slightly.

stronger, more powerful, so

When Sheila still didn’t respond, I didn’t bother pressing further. I turned and made my way to the sitting room.

But the moment I entered, I came to a halt.

There, seated on the couch, was my father. And in front of him stood Kieran and Ariaboth of them staring at him with wide eyes, their faces painted with disbelief, shockand unmistakable fear.

Wwhat are you saying, uncle? Me and Kieran? That’s impossible! Kieran is Nyssa’s fiancé, sso how could you even say something like that?Aria stammered, her voice trembling as she looked at my father. But he didn’t respond. He didn’t even flinch at her words.

His face remained cold, unreadable- emotionless. And that alone terrified Aria more than anything. It was the first time she had ever seen this side of him, a side completely devoid of the warmth he used to show her. Unlike her own parents, who rarely gave her affection, my father had once looked at her with kindness.

You see, Aria’s parents weren’t exactly good peopleat least, not to her. She was born into a decently wealthy family and was their first child, but not the kind of child they wanted. First, because she was a girl. They had hoped for a boy who could inherit the family business. And second, her wolf wasn’t as strong as they’d expected. Even so, they still gave her a measure of love, especially since doctors had told her mother she wouldn’t be able to conceive again.

But then her brother, Michael, was born. A socalled miracle child. And from that moment on, everything changed for her.

The little attention they had shown her before vanished in the blink of an eye, and Michael received all of their parentslove and affection- something Aria had always craved. But no matter how hard she tried, it was never something she could have, as they constantly pushed her aside.

Maybe that was why we became friends. We both shared something in common: I didn’t have a wolf, and hers was too weak to be of much use. Still, despite everything, despite the betrayal and how she played a part in my death, I couldn’t help but frown as I watched her now.

If only I had noticed the signs in my past life. If only I hadn’t been so quick to brush them off and believe that the people I trusted most would never hurt me because the truth is, if they wanted to, they absolutely would.

UUncle, why aren’t you saying anything? You don’t believe me, do you? How could you think I’d do something so disgusting?!Aria cried out, her voice shaking. But Kieran remained silent, though I didn’t miss how his fists clenched tightly at his sides.
