Fated Reborn: The Wolf King's Bride novel Chapter 57

“My lady, are you sure you don’t want to eat dinner? You haven’t eaten anything all day,” Serena asked worriedly as she watched me.

I frowned and shook my head, my thoughts a jumbled mess as I sat on the bed, trying to think straight.

Today had been nothing but chaos. Apparently, Kieran and Aria were chased out of the packhouse the moment Darius threw me over his shoulder like a rag doll and ran. They were warned never to see me again and if they did, they’d face the

consequences.

Which only made my chances of framing them seem even more out of reach.

And after what happened with Darius, I stayed inside my room the entire day, refusing to step out. I had even shut my window tight since the man seemed to enjoy coming through there and asked Serena to always keep the door locked whether she was inside or out. I’d given her a spare key and told her I wanted only her to come in.

That’s how it had been. I ignored my father, Calen, and Benjamin, who had all tried their best to talk to me. Even Cassian and Drake had attempted to speak to me through the door, but I’d refused to see anyone, at least for today.

I needed to be alone. I needed to think.

“My lady, how about I bring the meal up here? You don’t have to go downstairs to eat. I can bring it—”

“I’m not hungry, Serena. I promise, I’m really not. You don’t have to bring me anything. I just want to be alone right now and think… I have a lot on my mind,” I muttered, and I heard her quiet sigh of disappointment.

She’d been trying to get me to eat something all day, and while I appreciated the effort, I just wasn’t in the mood.

“Thank you,” I said, forcing a small smile as I reached out and held her hand. “And I’m sorry for what happened today. I really am… I didn’t mean to speak to you that way. You know you’re more than a servant to me, and I’m grateful that you

care.”

Her eyes widened at my words, and I watched the way they trembled before she smiled softly, gently clasping my hand as she lowered her head.

“I am but your humble servant, someone who should follow her lady’s orders. Please do not apologize. You are right, my lady, I have no right to question your decisions. My life is yours. If you asked me to give it up right now, I would.”

Her expression was serious, and it made me smile and shake my head. I knew she wasn’t joking. She meant every word but I didn’t want her to think that way anymore.

“Serena, your life is yours. It’s not mine, and it never will be,” I said as I stood from the bed. She looked up at me. “Your life is precious, and you should treasure it. Never give it up easily for anyone,not even me. Know that I value your life just as much as you value mine. So don’t ever make it easy to throw away. Do you understand?”

My voice was calm as I watched her frown. But instead of protesting, like I expected, she gave a small nod and smiled.

“I understand, my lady,” she said.

I immediately rolled my eyes. I knew the only reason she agreed so easily was because she wanted me to drop the topic.

Sighing, I let go of her hand and returned to the bed, lying down and waving her off.

Chapter 57

“You should go. Lock the door on your way out and don’t give the key to anyone. Goodnight, Serena,” I said, turning to the other side of the bed before she could bring up food again.

Realizing I wouldn’t eat no matter what she said, she let out a sigh and replied,

“Goodnight, my lady. Have a good rest.”

I heard her footsteps fade away moments later.

As soon as the sound of the door clicking shut reached my ears, my eyes snapped open and I rolled over, wrapping my arms around my growling stomach as I stared up at the ceiling.

Damn it. I was really hungry.

“If you were, then why didn’t you eat when Serena asked?” Sheila questioned, confused. “She even offered to bring the food to your room.”

I scoffed and sat up straight on the bed.

“That’s because we deserve to starve for failing to kill Kieran and Aria. We were so close but we failed. So, we don’t deserve to eat,” I said in frustration.

Sheila responded with a deadpan tone, “Who’s ‘we‘? Do you think I wanted to die with you in the first place? We should be grateful we’re still alive especially since the Lycan King hasn’t rejected us!”
