Fated Reborn: The Wolf King's Bride novel Chapter 8

Chapter 7

Nyssa pov

“What did you do? How dare you ask me that when you already have a mate?!”

That was what I wanted to yell. What I wanted to scream. But no words came out-only a whisper of air. Nothing more.

Confused, I raised a brow, my hand flying to my throat as I tried again.

“When you already have a mate!!”

Yet again, nothing. Just silence.

I saw the puzzled expressions of everyone around me, including Kieran, who looked at me as if trying to decipher my words.

“Elara, what are you trying to say?” he asked, his voice laced with confusion.

Frustration bubbled inside me, my hands clenching into fists. Why couldn’t I get a word out? Was I mute? Was this the price for going back to the past?

“I, I… hello.”

The words finally slipped past my lips effortlessly.

So I wasn’t mute. Then what was wrong?

I shook my head, forcing myself to speak despite the weight of the Lycan King’s heated gaze on me. He hadn’t said a word, just stood there watching. And if you asked me, it was unsettling. His eyes felt as though they could read my every thought.

“You bastard! You knew Aria was your mate, yet you still want to marry me because of my father’s position!”

As you can guess, I couldn’t say it out loud. The words died in my throat.

Kieran frowned and stepped closer, making me instinctively move back, but he quickly closed the distance. His hand cupped my cheek, his touch sending an involuntary shiver down my spine.

My breath hitched.

I found myself staring into the eyes of the man I had once loved- the man I had dreamed of being with from the moment I first saw him.

His brown eyes narrowed in concern, his voice dropping to a whisper.

“You’ve been acting strange, my love. Are you okay? Did something happen?”

For a brief moment, my heart pounded against my chest. The way he looked at me, the gentle warmth in his voice, it almost made me lean into his touch. Almost.

But I forced myself to take a deep, shaky breath and shook my head.

Don’t do it, Nyssa, I reminded myself. Don’t fall for his lies.

Beneath that caring facade was the man who had played a role in my father’s death. The man who had cheated on me, framed me, and left me for dead.

Beneath it all, he was a man hungry for power. Someone who had never truly loved me- only used me as a tool.

I closed my eyes, and when I reopened them, they were ice-cold.

I wouldn’t waste this second chance. I would expose Kieran and Aria, then live my life the way I wanted to.

My gaze flickered to my father, his Beta, and Gamma, who all looked at me with concern.

In this lifetime, I would protect the people I cared about.

My eyes shifted to Serene, who knelt not far away. Worry and fear shone in her gaze. I knew she wanted to come to me, to ask if I was okay, but she couldn’t, not when the Lycan King stood behind me.

I would make sure to repay kindness with kindness…

Then, I turned my gaze to Kieran and Aria.

And cruelty with cruelty.

I took a step away from Kieran and shot him a glare before turning to Serene. Without hesitation, I ordered, “Get me a paper and pen.”

If I couldn’t say it, then I would write it.

A few minutes passed before Selene handed me a pen. I stepped onto the podium where the priest had stood moments ago, placing the paper down as all eyes remained fixed on me. By now, everyone had risen from their knees, but instead of leaving, they stayed, drawn in by the unfolding drama.

My father stood to my right, while Serene positioned herself on the other side.

Ironically, Kieran and Aria stood far apart, yet their expressions were similar- fear and anger.

And the Lycan King…

Well, he stood behind me, his eyes still fixed on me.

The man hadn’t said a single word, nor had he looked away, which explained why people were staring in awe.

“Princess, are you okay?” my father asked, leaning closer to whisper in my ear. “What is going on? And why do you want to break up with Kieran? Actually, scratch that— are you really the Lycan King’s mate?!”

As he spoke, I turned to face him, studying his expression. We shared similar features, and though I couldn’t remember my mother, my father always said I took after her the most.

My parents weren’t fated mates, but they had loved each other until she ran away a few months after giving birth to me, choosing to be with her fated mate instead, leaving my father heartbroken.

I should have learned from their mistake and never fallen for Kieran, who wasn’t my fated mate either.

I forced a smile, resisting the urge to throw my arms around him.

“I’m fine, Father. I’ll explain everything now, just promise me you’ll believe me, no matter how unbelievable it sounds.”

He raised a brow at my words, considering them for a moment before nodding.

“Of course, I will believe you. Even if you tell me the earth is flat, I will always believe my daughter.” He grinned, and warmth spread through my chest at his unwavering trust.

“Thank you, Father.” I returned his smile, then turned to face the gathered crowd.

“I apologize for the commotion today, but I will explain everything right now. Since I cannot speak the truth aloud, I will write it instead, I will expose those who have conspired against my father’s pack!”

A wave of murmurs rippled through the crowd.

“Plot against the Emberfang Nation? What is she talking about?” someone whispered.

“I don’t know, but this is getting interesting,” another remarked.

Beside me, I felt my father’s presence shift, his gaze growing sharp and cold. I flicked a glance at Kieran, catching the way he swallowed hard, his fists clenching at his sides.

Without hesitation, I picked up the pen, ready to write but just as the tip touched the page, the intruder in my mind spoke again.

“Don’t do that, Nyssa. You cannot reveal anything about the future,” she said, her tone sharper, more serious than before.

I froze, my eyes widening.

“What?” My voice came out shaky as I tried to process her words. But when she continued, it felt like a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured over me.

“The future must not be revealed to anyone. That means you cannot expose Kieran and Aria. If you do, there will be consequences- backlash from the goddess herself. Do not do anything reckless, Nyssa.”

My mouth fell open in disbelief.

What was she saying? That I couldn’t say anything? Then how was I supposed to change my fate? How was I supposed to get a second chance?

My grip tightened around the pen as anger bubbled up inside me.

“That’s bullshit. What you’re saying is absolute bullshit.”

So I was sent back in time, given knowledge of everything to come… and I wasn’t allowed to tell anyone? No. Hell no.
