The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

Chapter 16

Chapter 16

It took a week before I was able to walk on the leg without feeling like I was about to die. I was still limping badly but at least I could afford to move around on my own.

Every day during that week, Ryker would be the one to help me whenever I wanted to take a bath and help me out. By the second day, I was already used to it but he would always leave right after and return fifteen to thirty minutes after. I still don’t know where he goes or what he does and a part of me is inherently curious about it.

Another thing that shocked me was the knowledge that Ryker wasn’t leaving for the pack house. I had asked Eve one day when he left and she told me that he hadn’t left for the pack house since I got hurt and had chosen to do his work in his office downstairs.

It was a real shock for me to realize that he willingly left his work and his usual office in favor of staying here because I had gotten hurt.

I made my way down the stairs despite the protest from my ankle and by the time I got the dining room and sat at the table, I was breathing deeply. That could have served as a workout.

Eve stepped out of the kitchen with a tray and when she saw me, she jumped slightly and placed a hand on her chest to calm

herself.

“I thought you were eating upstairs.”

“I’ve decided that I needed a change of scenery,” I said with a small smile, “I’d like to eat down here today.”

“Of course,” she placed the tray in front of me and my mouth watered when I saw the stacked breakfast burritos, bacon and eggs.

I thanked her and wasted no time in wolfing down the food. I was on the second burrito when I heard a door open not far from me and Ryker walked up towards me.

I have come to know when he is around even without looking at him. The air changes a little whenever he walks in and somehow his aura just takes up the entire room. The power shift is visible and when he walks into a room, his scent takes up the entire breathing space.

“Good morning, Camilla,” he said as he left a seat between us and took the next one.
