Chapter 6
Nyssa pov
The Lycan King?
The ruler of all werewolves. The strongest being after the goddess herself. A ruthless and heartless man cursed to live for eternity?
That kind of man was my mate?
If it weren’t for the intruder in my head moaning like a dog in heat, I would have laughed at the absurdity of his words.
“Mate! Mate! Mate! Yay! We found him in this lifetime! I love you so much, Moon Goddess. Thank you! Oh my gosh, and he’s so fucking hot. I can’t believe this is really happening!”
I wanted to scream or pull my hair out in frustration. Too many things were happening at once.
First, I had been reincarnated back into the past- on the very day I was supposed to marry Kieran. Second, I was hearing voices in my head, which probably meant I was losing my mind. And third…
I swallowed hard, my gaze locked onto the insanely gorgeous man standing before me.
Apparently, he was the Lycan King. And I was his mate.
My heart pounded so fast it felt like it might explode.
“I-I…” My hands pressed against his chest as I tried to push him away, to say something-anything but he wouldn’t budge. Not even an inch.
His piercing gaze never left mine, not even as the entire room fell into stunned silence. Everyone stared at him as if they had just seen a ghost.
Shit.
I turned my head to the left, seeking out my father. His mouth hung open, eyes bulging in disbelief as he pointed at the Lycan King.
I blinked at him desperately, silently begging for help.
He finally snapped out of his daze, his gaze shifting from the Lycan King to me. I mouthed the word help.
He blinked once, then shot up from his seat. But before he could say anything, a booming voice shattered the silence.
“Bow to the King!”
All heads whipped toward the black-haired man standing in the middle of the aisle, his sharp eyes scanning the room.
“Show your respect to the Lycan King!”
“Oh my goddess, he’s really the king!” someone gasped.
One by one, everyone dropped to the ground, heads bowed in respect, bodies trembling in fear.
Alphas of the strongest packs knelt, even my father shuddered before following suit. I watched as Kieran’s furious expression shifted in an instant-fear etched across his face as he fell to his knees and bowed.

Chapter 6
Every single person in the hall had submitted, and a shiver ran down my spine as I took in the scene.
In my past life, I had only heard stories of the infamous Lycan King, feared, respected, and untouchable. He never allowed outsiders into his pack. So why had things changed in this lifetime?
Why was he here? Why was he my mate? This never happened then.
I froze. A gasp escaped my lips as the man in front of me leaned in, his breath fanning over my skin before he lowered his head to my neck-
And sniffed me.
Thump. Thump.
“Oh, my goddess,” I whispered as I felt his nose brush against the crook of my neck. He was sniffing me. Before I knew it, my body reacted to his touch, the overwhelming need to lean into him nearly consuming me.
“Fuck! He smells so good. Nyssa, I can’t believe our mate is sniffing us out. Do you think he’ll mark us?”
I inhaled a shaky breath, my heart hammering at the words echoing in my mind. Mark us? Wait—us?! Did that mean the voice in my head was actually my wolf?
“This is impossible,” The Lycan King finally muttered as he pulled away, his eyes returning to the silver colour. His eyes locked onto mine, disbelief flashing in their depths- followed by something else. Disgust.
“My mate? There is no way this is possible “His voice was barely a whisper, as if he were trying to convince himself.
The murmurs around us grew louder.
“Mate? The daughter of Alpha Ethan is the king’s mate?”
“Wait, does that mean she’s his second chance mate? But that’s impossible, no one has ever had a second chance mate!”
Oh, my goddess. I wanted to crawl into a hole and disappear.
This had to be some sick joke. I hadn’t even broken off the wedding with Kieran yet! My eyes darted to him, watching him tremble, his hands secretly wrapped around Aria’s.
I narrowed my eyes into a glare as rage burned within me. Everything that had happened that led to my death flashed before my eyes.
“Because I can, bitch. Aria is my fated mate. She is the one I love. You, on the other hand— I only had to mate with a worthless person like you because you were the dead Alpha’s only child.”
“You are dumb, stupid, and useless. And get this into your thick skull— your father’s death… do you really think it was just a simple rogue attack?”
My hands tightened into fists.
Screw this. I didn’t care if he was the Lycan King or not, right now, I had more important things to deal with. I was going to make those two fools pay.
Without hesitation, I placed my hands on the Lycan King’s chest and met his gaze.
