Chapter 44

Nyssa pov

Oops.

I wasn’t supposed to say that, was I?

The entire room fell into a dead, uneasy silence. In the next second, all eyes turned to me- my father, who had been fuming just moments ago, snapped his head in my direction, his eyes widening in disbelief at what I had just said.

Calen and Benjamin’s grips on me loosened, and I could feel their stunned gazes shift to me. Even Kieran and Aria looked completely caught off guard.

I blinked once. Twice. Then took a deep breath, forcing myself to speak and quickly cover up my slip.

“1-1 meant you shouldn’t kill him. W–we should just forget about this. Just let it go, Father. I can’t deal with this anymore… it really hurts.” I stammered, lowering my gaze as I wiped away the tears that had begun to fall.

As I expected, everyone’s expressions shifted again–no longer stunned but busy with concern. Calen and Benjamin immediately pulled me closer, gently patting my back.

“There, there. Don’t cry, my love,” Calen said softly, handing me a handkerchief. I took it with trembling fingers and wiped my face before raising my eyes to look directly at my father.

“Please… let me talk to him. I just want to hear him out. Even if it’s only for a few minutes.”

As soon as the words left my mouth, my father’s expression twisted into a frown, while Kieran’s face lit up with relief.

“What are you talking about, Nyssa? You want to speak to him? Even after everything he’s done? Don’t tell me you still want to be with this bastard?

I shook my head, sniffling back the fake tears.

“I just want closure. We’ve been together for so long, and we were even about to get married. I need closure about all of this, so… please, can we talk?” I asked, my gaze fixed on Father. His frown deepened, and he was about to speak when Calen and Benjamin moved to his sides, each grabbing an arm.

Before he could react, they nodded at each other and began dragging him away, catching him completely off guard.

“W–What are you doing?! Let me go this instant!” he yelled, struggling. But both Calen and Benjamin kept their heads lowered in respect.

“Forgive us, Alpha, but she deserves the chance to speak. We’ll accept any punishment later,” Benjamin said firmly.

I couldn’t help the low chuckle that escaped me as I watched the great Alpha- my father, the leader of the second–strongest pack in the world, being dragged away, pouting like a stubborn child. He could’ve easily broken free from their grip, yet he let them pull him out.

However, before he was out of the room, he turned back and snapped his gaze to Kieran and Aria, giving them one last glare as his frame slowly disappeared from view.

I shook my head and, once they were gone, finally stopped hiding it— I laughed, dropping all the pretense and running a hand through my hair in amusement,

Those were my dad and uncles. I might not have a mother, but I had three men who would burn the world for me- who 1/3

had given up everything for me. They were the reason I would give up my life without hesitation.

“Nyssa, baby, I-“I heard Kieran begin, his voice now laced with a happiness that made me almost want to listen.

“Ah, I cried too much,” I cut him off, wiping the tears from my face nonchalantly before leaning away from his touch. I walked over to the seat and plopped down with a lazy yawn.

Goddess, I must be sleepy–I barely got any rest last night.

Oh well.

“N–Nyssa,” a soft voice called, and this time, I recognized it–it was Aria, still crying on the ground.

“Nyssa, I-” she tried to speak, but froze the instant my gaze shifted to her, the words dying in her throat.

I frowned and tilted my head to the side, narrowing my eyes at her. She flinched. I didn’t say anything for a moment, just watched her. Then I finally spoke.

“What are you still doing here? I said I wanted to speak with him. You’re not deaf, are you?”

Aria stiffened at my words, and I saw every bit of pretense fall from her expression. She glared at me, her hands curling into fists. She hated it- how I spoke to her, how I treated her like she was beneath me.

But now, after being sent to the past, I could read her emotions as clearly as the back of my hand. If only I’d had the sense to.

“Ah, I cried too much,” I said, cutting him off as I wiped the tears from my face nonchalantly. I leaned away from his touch and walked over to the seat, plopping down with a lazy yawn.

Goddess, I must be sleepy, I hadn’t slept a wink last night.

Oh well.

“N–Nyssa,” a soft voice called out, and this time I recognized it as Aria, still on the ground and crying. “Nyssa, I—” she tried to speak, but her words froze the moment my gaze shifted to her, stopping her in her tracks.

I frowned, tilting my head to the side as I narrowed my eyes at her. She flinched. I didn’t say a word at first, simply watching her until I finally spoke.

“What are you still doing here? I said I wanted to speak with him. You’re not deaf, are you?”

Aria stiffened at my words, and I saw the facade slip from her face immediately. She glared at me, her hands curling into fists. She hated the way I spoke to her, hated being treated as though she were beneath me.

Now that I’d been sent back to the past, I could read her emotions like the back of my hand. If only I’d had the sense to do that before.

She opened her mouth, about to speak, but before she could, Kieran turned to her and shook his head.
