Fated Reborn: The Wolf King's Bride novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43

Nyssa pov

Fuck.

A groan tore from my throat as I swallowed back the blood threatening to spill. A powerful force slammed into me, and I clenched my fists, cursing under my breath.

I fought the urge to roll my eyes- no words came out, just air. The things I had said… no one even heard them.

“Nyssa! You can’t talk about the past! Do you have a death wish?” Sheila scolded sharply in my head.

This time, I did roll my eyes and scoffed.

I was going to die anyway. Might as well take my chances, right?

“Do you think if I had the choice to speak the truth and then die, I wouldn’t take it? What’s the point of my words coming out as nothing more than a breath, only to be drowned out by the force slamming into me when no one could hear me anyway? I’d say what I want to say… then die,” I responded coldly, and Sheila remained silent, choosing to ignore me.

I clicked my tongue in disdain. What a ridiculous rule from the goddess.

“Hm? Princess, what did you say?”

My father’s voice snapped me out of my daze, and I looked up to find everyone staring at me–each of their expressions a world apart.

Kieran had a frown on his face, but beneath it, I could see a glimmer of relief as if he believed I had finally come to explain things to my father and clear his name.

Aria’s body trembled, her sobs growing louder the moment she saw me, my name falling from her lips in broken whispers.

Calen and Benjamin looked at me with quiet sadness in their eyes.

And my father, well, he just looked pissed.

I scanned every face in the room, taking a quiet breath before slowly schooling my features into the perfect expression of someone who had just discovered her fiancé’s betrayal- hurt, vulnerable, and wronged.

“Father,” I whispered, sniffing as I looked down at my feet. “I told you not to do anything— not to say anything. Why didn’t you listen to me?”

I could feel his gaze darken, heavy with restrained emotion.

“Y–you-” he started, but someone else cut him off.

“Nyssa.”

I froze. His presence was unmistakable, and even without looking up, I knew Kieran now stood in front of me. He reached out, gently trying to take my hand, his voice tinged with desperation and sorrow.

“What’s going on? The Alpha said you believe that nonsense, that I’m with Aria. Please, tell me you don’t believe that… that you trust me. Is that why you’ve been avoiding me all this while?”

His voice faltered, but I didn’t respond. My gaze remained downcast, silence answering him.

“Baby” he said again, trying to reach me.

But I spoke first–just a whisper.

He froze, leaning closer.

“What?” he asked, confused.

This time, I lifted my head and met his eyes with a cold, chilling stare that made him stiffen. His hand instinctively loosened around mine as he took a small step back.

“Let me go, you bastard.”

Kieran’s eyes widened in disbelief, his gaze locking onto mine as though he had just seen something that shook him to his core. I lifted a brow at his reaction–honestly, all I did was glare at him. Why was he acting like he’d seen a ghost? Still, I didn’t care about his reaction. Instead, I quickly shifted my expression the moment my father marched forward, his glare fixed on Kieran, rage radiating off him.

“How could you do something like this to me, Kieran? After everything?” I asked, my voice cracking as tears began to stream down my cheeks while I stared at him.

I watched as he blinked, finally snapping out of his daze and stepping toward me. But I recoiled from his touch, pressing a hand to my chest.

“I trusted you, Kieran. I trusted you with everything,” I said, my voice trembling with fury. “I loved you with all my heart, we were about to get married, to start a family. But instead, you-” I stopped, my head tilting toward Aria as I jabbed a finger in her direction. “Instead, you cheated on me with my best friend. Aria, of all people!”

My voice cracked with raw emotion, rising high enough to echo through the entire packhouse. I didn’t care. Let it echo. Let everyone hear. The more drama, the more eyes on us and the more people would suspect both Kieran and Aria after my death.

‘Those two killed the Alpha’s daughter because she caught them cheating‘

That was what I wanted- a motive for their crime. Something strong enough to cast suspicion and make my father believe they were responsible for my death.

And it was all happening now.

“What? No, baby, please listen to me. Don’t say that,” Kieran pleaded, reaching out to hold my hand. “Why would you think that? I love only you. I’d never cheat on you. Don’t believe what others say- just listen to me.”

But this time, my father stepped in, blocking him, placing himself between us and shielding me from Kieran’s touch.

“Stop it,” he hissed, shoving Kieran- not hard enough to send him flying, but enough to make him stumble back.

“Stop trying to manipulate my daughter! You didn’t deserve her from the very beginning, and you damn well don’t deserve her now!” he growled.

Behind him, I smiled and gave a small nod, knowing no one could see it thanks to the shield of his body.

Hehe. Tell him, Father.

“It’s all my fault. I’m not good enough. That’s why he left me for Aria,” I said, covering my mouth with my hand as I let out a
