Fated Reborn: The Wolf King's Bride novel Chapter 49

Nyssa pov

“Oh my goddess!!!” I screamed internally, my eyes wide as I stared at my reflection in the mirror, exclaiming in disbelief. “No freaking way, I am a white wolf! Me? A white wolf, the kind that’s been extinct for decades and yet, here I am!”

I wasn’t sure what kind of emotion was bubbling up at the moment, maybe excitement, maybe disbelief, or maybe both.

I had expected something lesser, something common, like a brown wolf. I had told myself not to aim high, not to expect a black wolf. But what I got was far beyond that.

A white wolf. A rare, pure–blooded creature no one had seen in over five hundred years.

This couldn’t be real. This had to be a dream.

“You really are excited, huh?” Sheila teased, snapping me out of my daze. “And to think you didn’t even want to shift because you weren’t expecting much. Now look at you, like you’ve just seen a ghost.”

I scoffed, rolling my eyes at her mockery but she wasn’t wrong. I was excited.

“How on earth am I a white wolf? What’s going on?” I muttered, leaning closer to my reflection, needing to be absolutely sure I was seeing this right.

I could hear the smugness in her voice as she spoke.

“How else would you have a white wolf if not because I’m the best? That’s why I always say you’re lucky to have me. I’m special, you just don’t realize it yet. That’s why you keep acting this way toward me.”

I rolled my eyes at her words but didn’t respond because, annoyingly, she was right. She was special.

A white wolf wasn’t something I ever expected. I had honestly thought she was bluffing. But clearly, she wasn’t.

“I am lucky to have you,” I said, cutting her off just as she was about to speak again. “You’re right. You are very special, Sheila.”

I could practically imagine the shocked expression on her face the moment the words left my mouth, and I couldn’t help but chuckle as she cleared her throat and stammered before replying.

“W–well, you’re not wrong… but saying it like that makes it a little uncomfortable. Ahem, anyway, let’s go for a run. I want to take over this time,” she said with a dismissive tone.

I almost grinned, but froze when I saw my wolf’s reflection grinning back at me.

Ah, I still wasn’t used to that.

I was just about to close my eyes and let Sheila take over–let her run freely through the woods because, honestly, she deserved it but before I could, my heart suddenly stopped.

My eyes widened as that familiar, addictive scent hit me.

It was him.

My head snapped in the direction of the sound, and before I could react before I could even see him–I gasped as something slammed into me, knocking me to the ground.

Chapter 49

A soft whimper escaped my lips, and my eyes flew open just as a menacing growl pierced the air.

The moment I saw the silver wolf towering over me, my heart dropped.

Darius.

Of all people to see me in my wolf form, it had to be him.

Oh, goddess.

I stared up at him, frozen, as he leaned closer, his head tilting slightly like he was trying to make sense of what he was seeing He looked just as shocked as I felt.

But what I didn’t expect… was for him to lean in even further, right toward my neck and sniff me.

I inhaled sharply, my eyes widening as he ran his nose along my neck, inhaling deeply. He was sniffing me, trying to confirm if I was who he thought I was.

I couldn’t even move, not because I didn’t want to, but because he had me completely pinned beneath him.

I opened my mouth to speak, to tell him to get off me, but no words came out. Instead, a soft whimper escaped me and that’s when I remembered again that I was still in my wolf form.

Just as I was about to communicate with him through the mindlink, Sheila’s urgent voice stopped me in my tracks.

“Wait!” she echoed sharply. “Don’t speak. He must not know it’s you. He won’t be able to scent you right now, so don’t let him find out and when you get the chance, run. Run as far from him as you can.”

I blinked in confusion at her words. Why did she sound so afraid?

She loved Darius, had always longed to be with him. So why, now, was she telling me to run?

After what felt like an eternity, Darius finally leaned back slightly, his narrowed eyes locked on me. But he didn’t move off my body. Instead, I heard his voice in my head.

“A pure white breed? You’re a white breed?” he asked through the mindlink.
