The Alpha’s Obsession with his Ex-Contract Luna

Chapter 199

CAMILLA’S PO.V

The room was beautiful to say the least and the bed was massive but I took note of a large chaise lounge by the corner. It seemed like a good place to sleep. I was sure I could get my hands on some extra blankets if it proved to be uncomfortable. Ryker led me towards a large wardrobe and I stared blankly at the clothes in there.

“I don’t know the last thing about royal fashion,” I began slowly. “Do you think Christine can help me or something?”

“Christine is dealing with the elders right now. I don’t know if your wall is up but they have been mind linking me non–stop,” I cursed. “I can help you if you want. I think I know enough to be able to pick a decent outfit.”

“Will you help me put it on as well?“my cheeks heated as I asked those words. It was clear he had seen me n*ked before. We had two children but that didn’t mean I wasn’t uncomfortable and apprehensive at the idea.

“I can direct you on what to do. You’ll only need my help for the corset.”

That seemed like a better idea and as much as I hated to admit it, I loved how considerate he was being. He didn’t have to do all of this for me but he chose to and I found that to be such a beautiful thing to do.

It took us almost half an hour to get me dressed but just like he predicted, I needed his help with the corset. My cheeks were flaming as I made my way over to him but he looked completely unfazed. His eyes never moved lower than where they were meant to and he was careful as he pulled on the ropes of my dress.

“Tell me if it is too tight,” his voice was huskier than usual and it was directly by my ear. I hated the way my b*dy reacted to it and I tried to ignore it but it was almost as if he already knew because he cursed loudly. “Camilla, I-”

His words were cut off by the door slamming open and a little girl rushed in. It was like looking at a younger version of myself- excluding the eyes, she had Ryker’s eyes. Before I could process what was happening, she rushed over to me and threw her arms around my legs. I stilled for a split second not knowing what to do until I heard her sniffling.

I felt my wolf stir and it was like something in me was awoken. I lifted her into my arms and it proved to be the right thing to do because she wrapped herself around me like a small monkey. I felt wetness on my shoulder as she sobbed into me.

“Where did you go?” she asked but I couldn’t form the words necessary to give her a response. “I asked you to come back every day and you didn’t.”

“I’m sorry,” I whispered. I assumed this was Audrey and as much as I didn’t remember her, my heart still broke for her. There was no denying that she was mine and just knowing that I
