All Chapters of REBIRTH: My Forbidden Entanglement : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

ODESSA’S POVMy legs, which had been playing and splashing around in the water, suddenly stopped. Without bothering to look at who had come to disturb my peace of mind, I continued playing in the water. “Ignoring me? That's a new one.” He chuckled and settled down beside me, kicking off his shoes as well. I wanted to turn to him and tell him that he didn't even know I existed in my previous world and now…“Should a King be seen sitting on the floor and playing by the pool?” I asked, my gaze fixed on the moon. “I'm a King. I can do whatever I want, even if it's to spend the entire engagement party with my son’s fiancee who looks unbothered by the fact that her future husband just went after his side piece.” I frowned and looked at him, his eyebrows raised as if he was urging me to say what was on my mind. “You're very talkative for a King.” I scowled and looked back to the sky. He laughed and replied, “My late wife once told me beautiful women bring out that side of me.” Minutes

AUTHOR’S POVOdessa tried to avoid the King for the remainder of the day, although it was harder than she’d thought because their little outing hadn't just been an outing. The King had gone into the town to visit the complaints he had been receiving for the past two weeks. And he was hoping he could test Odessa’s knowledge and skills that Prince Victor had been boasting about. Odessa ignored his gaze as much as she could, and she couldn't tell if the King realized it or not. But if he did, he didn't say a word about it. “This is the fifth time the roof has fallen in. Every attempt to rebuild it is futile. The family has had to move into the pack house whenever it rains to avoid casualties. What do you think we’re doing wrong, Princess?” Odessa gulped and the King smiled. Perhaps not to others, but to him, he could see every small reaction that her body made, especially when he called her Princess. Something in him fluttered knowing that she loved it. King Kaiden chastised himself f

AUTHOR’S POV“You're grumpier today.” Elixir strolled in with a giant smile on his face. Kaiden’s scowl deepened, “What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be patrolling the Northern border?” Elixir chuckled, “Today is my off day. Baron is in charge, and my mate has tasked me to check on you. You were out of it during the council meeting.” “Tell Sarai that I'm fine. You both don't have to be worried about me.” Kaiden scribbled more signatures on the pack of papers on his table. “If this was before she came, I'd have agreed but no, she's here. That's even more reason to be worried about you. Is she the reason behind the scowl on your face?” Elixir asked, perching himself against the table, one leg crossed over the other and his arms folded as he stared at the door, his back turned to Kaiden.King Kaiden glanced up through his glasses and sighed, “I think I'm being creepy.” “You think or she thinks you're creepy?” Elixir asked. “She thinks so,” Kaiden replied, pulling off his glasse

AUTHOR’S POV.Elixir immediately ran up to meet the King as soon as he confirmed that it wasn't Kieran. “The doctor?” “In her chambers, waiting.” Elixir responded, walking as fast as the King, his gaze taking in the pitiful sight that Odessa was in. The King’s arm was soaked through and through and she was still bleeding. Just how bad of a blow had she suffered? “Her chamber?” Kaiden clearly sounded upset but didn't slow down his pace, “Why not mine?” “That would make everyone suspicious. I'm trying to cover for you and her.” “Odessa!” Victor yelled as soon as his father came into view with Odessa in his arms. Kaiden immediately looked up and rage boiled in his entire body. His hold on Odessa tightened as he pinned his son down with a glare. “Where the fuck were you?” His voice boomed through the hallways, Elixir could even hear the slight shaking of glass. Victor looked scared for a minute, “Well…I…I…” “You what?” Kaiden thundered. “Your mate was out in the blue garden during

ODESSA’S POVThere were two ways to react to this: I could either be in defense mode or be in offense mode. I didn't plan on my secret getting out until my revenge plan was over. Victor would never marry a wofless princess; it would weaken his lineage, and he would rather choose a maid over me. I just didn't foresee my attack and now it looks like the King has caught me red-handed. “I have no idea what you're talking about,” I said nonchalantly and turned to stroke my fingers against the water. “A wolf's normal reaction is to shift when faced with imminent danger. It's not something that can be controlled, it's pure instinct. But you, Odessa, you stood there awaiting your death without even trying to put up a fight.” The King scowled. “I did.” My eyebrows furrowed in a frown as my palm squeezed as a means to control my anger. He was scolding me like a kid and I hated it. “I fought. Did you not see the two golden pins sticking out of its eyes?” One eyebrow shot up in challenge. Tha
