Revival 80_Rebirth: Fated to the Lycan King

Nyssa por

 Crash! 

 The bottle shattered against the floor with a loud, deafening sound. Maybe it was the tension of the moment, but the sound seemed louder than it

 should have been.

 Time froze

 Aria and I both stared at the broken ss, wa

 watching in silent horror as the blue liquid spilled out across the floor

 My heart pounded so hard could hear it in my ears. A second ticked by from the minute we had left and just like that, as Aria’s terrified scream tore through the room, time snapped back into motion.

 “No! The antidote!”

 My eyes widened as Aria cried out, crawling desperately toward the spilled liquid. Tears streamed down her face as she choked out broken sobs, muttering “no” over and over again, coughing blood as she dragged herself across the floor

 And as I watched her, my breathing became rapid and the memories from the past beganshing in my mind.

 could let her crawl to the antidote, let her take a sip from what was left on the ground. I was sure, even a single drop might save her.

 But as I stared at her, I remembered the heartache, the tears… the betrayal.

 I remembered everything.

 And then, like something took control of my body, lunged forward, grabbing her leg and yanking her back.

 Herscream tore through the air

 “Let me go, bitch! Let me got The antidote, I have to drink it or I’ll die! Let me go

 I bit my bottom lip so hard it bled, and dropped to the floor, wrapping my arms tightly around her legs, holding her in ce.

 “You have to die.” I shouted, my voice shaking as I pulled her back from the puddle of antidote. “You have to die for them to live… You have to die!”

 Tears blurred my vision, hot and endless, and my body racked with sobs as I clung to her.

 “You have to die, Aria, In this lifetime, you have to die. -d you don’t, then they will. They’ll all die. My father, everyone! They’ll all die because of you!”

 I cried harder, holding her back with every ounce of strength I had.

 “What the fuck are you saying?! Let me go this instant you’re crazy!”

 Thirty seconds. She had thirty seconds left.

 Why was I crying?

 Why did it ache so much?

 She deserved this. After everything..she deserved it. So why-

 “Because you’re not like them, Nyssa. You’re not heartless like they are. That’s what I’ve always loved about you. You’re kind. You don’t want to hurt anyone.”

 She’s voice echoed in my mind.

 “But if you want to change your fate, if you want to save everyone and use the chance the Moon Goddess gave you, then you have to be like them, too. have to throw that kindness aside and fight. Don’t let anyone harm you in this “

 My eyes snapped open at her words,

 Tears streamed down my cheeks as Aria’s screams grew quieter… her struggling weaker… until her breathing turned

 Then, barely audible, she whispered,

 “…I don’t want to die…”

 After those words… silence settled over the room. My lips trembled as I stared at Aria’s body, now slumped cold on the floor. She had stopped moving

 Stopped speaking

 And I knew it was because her time was up

 Fiteen minutes had passed.

 She had died from the poison

 1had killed her,

 A breathless gasp slipped from my lips.

 Islowly released her leg from my grip and sat upright, my eyes cold, empty, locked on her lifeless form.

 “Haha… she’s dead.”

 Humorlessughter escaped from my throat

 “Hahaha…

 … she’s dead. She’s really dead. I killed her. I got my revenge against Aria. I finally got my revenge…” I whispered to no one, my voice cracking as I wrapped my arms around myself and lowered my head.

 Damn it, Nyssa, Why are you crying?

 You should be happy. Happy that she finally got her karma..

 I wasn’t sure why, but despite telling myself should be d, my chest ached, and I couldn’t stop the tears that kept pouring down my cheeks.

 I didn’t even know how much time had passed, only that I didn’t stop crying until there were no more tears left to cry

 Thankfully, She didn’t say anything. She didn’tfort me, maybe because she knew I needed to be alone.

 Aber what felt like thirty minutes of silent tears, I finally stopped. I lifted my head and stared into the distance for a long moment before turning my gale

 to Ana’s body.

 Without wasting any more time, knowing I had to retum to the pack soon, I pushed myself up from the floor and wiped the tears from my face.

 Then, I walked over to Aria. Her expression was froen in a mix of horror and pain. I stared at her for a moment before reaching downd gently closing her eyes with my gloved hand

 After that, I turned toward Kieran, who had remained passed out this entire time

 The substance I’d blown into his face was sleep–inducing, strong enough to keep him unconscious until tomorrow.

 I know this was the perfect opportunity. He was vulnerable. I could strike now and kill him with the dagger i’d brought.

 TUT THUAT

 But I wouldn’t

 And that was for one reason because I needed him alive to take the fall for Aria’s death.

 Part of it was strategy. Once A’s body was discovered, there would be an investigation, and they’d find the poison in her system. She said the parson was ancient, untraceable. That they wouldn’t know it was me. But I couldn’t be certain.

 There was still a high chance I’d be discovered.

 And the other reason?

 Killing Kieran would be too easy and would be a mercy

 But if he were med for Aria’s death, if he were prosecuted or even banished from the pack…

 That would be so much better

 I walked toward the dagger I had brought with me. Not the one I’d nearly used on myself, this was a different one.

 I returned to Aria and pressed her fingers against the handle, leaving her prints on it. Then, I moved over to Kieran and, without a second thought, sliced his hand before cing the dagger on the ground beside him.

 “This is your punishment, Kieran,” I muttered under my breath. “You’ll be med for your mate’s death and even if you’re banished, I swear to the goddess, I’ll find you and make sure you die. Just you wait.”
