Fated Reborn: The Wolf King's Bride novel Chapter 60

Chapter 60

Darius pov

Something called to me. No, someone.

I wasn’t sure what it was, but there was a strange pull that beckoned me. It was so strong, I couldn’t resist it especially that voice, crying out for help. And for a brief moment, I found myself who had been fully prepared to ignore the fools who came to take my head rushing toward here before my brain could even comprehend what I was doing.

Now, as I stared at the badly beaten girl before me, I couldn’t help but frown, my hand reaching out to gently push strands of hair from her face, lost in thought.

The voice I’d heard, it was hers. But what was that pull that led me here? I doubted it was simply because she was bound to me. When my mate was still alive, I had never felt anything like this, not even when she was in danger.

So why?

I had no answer to that question, yet I knew one thing for certain: the girl before me wasn’t as simple as she seemed.

The goddess wasn’t the impartial, kind, and loving deity everyone made her out to be. No, she could be cold, calculating when she needed to be. And for her to make this girl not only my mate but also a white wolf? It felt like some twisted game she was playing. But I had no intention of dancing to her tune.

When I figure out how a white wolf like her can put an end to this eternity of mine, I’ll use her in any way I must, even if it costs her life.

“Nyssa!!” A loud voice cut through my thoughts, and I tilted my head to see her father, the Alpha of this pack, rushing toward her with his beta and gamma, fear in their eyes.

I withdrew my hand from her face and stood up as they all fell to her side, shaking her awake.

“Oh, Nyssa. Nyssa, child, can you hear me?” her father cried, cradling the unconscious girl close as he tried to wake her.

“King!” I heard Cassian’s voice, and I turned to find him and Drake running toward me. When their eyes landed on the girl, they widened, and Cassian muttered, “Oh Goddess,” under his breath.

“Nyssa…” her father called out again, and just when I thought no one had the sense to get her to a healer, one of the beta or gamma, I wasn’t sure which, stepped forward and spoke.

“Alpha, we need to get Nyssa to the healer. I–I’ll take her.”

The girl’s father blinked at his words, then quickly nodded, his teary gaze hardening. He pulled her closer and lifted her into his arms. As he looked around and saw the severed heads of the rogues, his eyes landed on me. He lowered his head in a respectful bow.

“T–Thank you, my king. I will be forever indebted to you for this.”

With that, he took off running, his beta and gamma lowering their heads as well before following him.

As soon as they left, silence settled over us for a brief moment, only to be broken by Cassian.

“My king, is she okay? I can’t believe the rogues attacked her! It’s probably because they found out she’s your mate!”

His words made me raise a brow, my gaze falling on the rogue who had been kicking her before I arrived. His head now lay severed from his body, empty eyes staring in shock at the ceiling. A man who hadn’t even blinked before death took him.

Chapter 60

But if what Cassian just said was true, then things had gotten more complicated than I thought. I didn’t care if the rogues came after me–but if they targeted the girl and succeeded in killing her, then the one chance I had of ending this cursed eternity would vanish. I couldn’t allow that.

It seemed I had to take this more seriously after all.

“Cassian,” I called, and he immediately bowed his head, recognizing the command in my tone.

“Have all the rogues been taken care of?” I asked as I began walking toward the quarters.

Cassian and Drake followed closely behind as Cassian answered,

“No, my king. I heard the Alpha ordered that one be kept alive for interrogation.”

I nodded at his words, opened the door, and stepped inside before speaking again.

“I want you to interrogate the bastard. Find out who’s behind them and report everything to me once you’re done.”

“Yes, my king,” he responded with a deep bow.

Before he could close the door, my voice low but firm cut through the air.

“And check if that girl is okay. I want her alive.”

I couldn’t let her die, not when I already had what I had been waiting for centuries in the palm of my hand, not when I was this close to breaking the curse and finally being able to rest.

And when that girl wakes up, we’re leaving for my pack the very next day.

“My king” I muttered under my breath, sweat tickling my face, my heart pounding so hard it felt like it would burst right out of my chest.

“My king” I whispered, my grip tightening around the sheets, my body arching as the distant voice calling my name slowly grew clearer.
