The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

Chapter 24

I avoided Ryker for the entirety of the day. I knew he would be in his room but I didn’t want to risk seeing him and locked myself away in my

room.

I knew Eve was curious as to what happened but she didn’t push me to answer any questions and simply nodded when I told her that I would be having all my meals from the comfort of my room.

My avoidance tactic lasted up until the next morning. I had taken a bath and was getting dressed when there was a knock on the door that I instantly recognized as Eve’s. It was a bit early for breakfast but I didn’t think much of it as I pulled open the door.

Eve stood there but right behind her was Ryker and as soon as they saw me, Eve turned on her heels and left. I tried to shoot her the harshest glare I could muster but she just responded with a smile of her own and disappeared around the corner.

“You look better,” I began not sure what else to say now that he was standing in front of me.

He was standing tall and fully dressed in slacks and a simply shirt. I couldn’t see the texture of his bandages under his shirt so I assumed he had gotten rid of them- he did say he would be fully healed in about two days and half that time has already gone. His cheeks also had a little bit more color and honestly if I didn’t see him in the hospital bed two days ago I would have never thought that he was hurt in any way.

“You’re avoiding me.” Ryker said simply not wasting any time with pleasantries.

“I’m not,” I lied, “I just-,”

“You don’t have to lie to me.” he cut me off, “Come, we have to leave now.”

“Where are we going?”

“You told me you wanted to see the lake, didn’t you?” I was shocked that he remembered, I was more shocked that he was offering to go with me when he was still healing, “Or do you not want to go anymore?”

“I do, it is just that I-,”

“Then let’s go.”
