The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

Chapter 26

Chapter 26

I was so stunned by the announcement that all I could do was stare at the guard but Ryker wasted no time in pushing to his feet. He assured the guard he would be on his way then he walked over to where I sat and squatted so he was sitting on his haunches and we were at eye level.

“You’re hurt. You were in pain just moments ago,” I managed out, “Should you be out fighting rogues?”

“I’m fine Camilla; I can barely feel a thing.”

“But at training-,”

“I’ll explain that later,” he ran a hand through my curls in a soft stroking motion, “I don’t know how long I’ll be gone but if I’m not back before tomorrow then Lauren will come to stay with you.”

“Why wouldn’t you be back before then?”

“Sometimes these things take time,” he glanced out the door and I knew he was itching to help his guards, “There will be at least three people stationed at every entrance. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I don’t want you to leave your room.”

“Will they come here?”

“I don’t know but Eve will be here for anything you need.” He paused for a second and then placed a soft kiss on my forehead, “I will be back as soon as I can.”

Before I could say another word, he was out of the room. As soon as he left, Eve walked over and picked up my half eaten plate of food and led. me upstairs to my room. I was in a daze as she guided me through the corridors and it wasn’t until she placed the tray by my bed that I snapped out of it.

“You can take it back,” I told her, “I’m not hungry.”

“I find that I tend to eat a lot when I’m stressed.”

She started to leave but I stopped her, “Where will you be?”

“Downstairs where I always am.” She cocked her head in confusion, “I have a room in the guard’s quarters but I will be in the living room just in case you need me.”

“It’s not safe down there.”
