The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

Chapter 70

CAMILLA’S PO.V

I knew in that moment that I didn’t have many options so I decided to explore the tunnels. The walls were so close together, I didn’t need to stretch my hands out before I was touching them. It was moldy and smelled like dust. There were also cobwebs everywhere and I accidentally walked into one. I didn’t know where I was going but I hoped I would find an exit soon.

The further down in the tunnels I got, the cleaner they got. It wast obvious that I was approaching the area that Frederick lived in or at least used often. I saw empty packs of snacks and I even came across what looked like discarded clothes but I didn’t stick around to find out. I got into what looked like a clearing and that was when I saw his sleeping

area.

There was a black sleeping bag and lying next to it was the journal. I picked it up and turned it over in my hands, It was just like the others but it weighed considerably less and I assumed it was because of the pages he had ripped out. I had a feeling that this one would have the answers I was looking for. I turned to leave but I felt something sharp at my lower back making me freeze in place.

“I was going to come to you in a few days, I never thought you would come looking for me,” Frederick mused in my ears. “Tell me, Camilla, where is your mate? Is he close by or are you here all alone?”

“I’m alone,” I knew it was stupid to reveal that but I knew that if he wanted to hurt me then he would have done that already.

He allowed me turn until I was staring at him face to face “Welcome sister, I thought it was only befitting that I lived in the palace as I should have been, don’t you?”

“I know about your mother,” I began and he scoffed.

“You don’t know half of what you think you do,” he took a step back and to my shock, he pocketed his knife. “Leave, Camilla, I am many things but a coward is not one of them and I have no plans of killing you in the tunnels. If I will take your life then it will be where the entire world can watch. No one respects a king who is a coward.”

“İş being king really that important to you?” I asked. “You can live in the palace as a member of the royal family, I am willing to give you that. You

don’t have to do all of this.”

He laughed humorlessly. “You have no idea what it has been like for me. I would not expect you to understand, you had everything you could possibly want handed to you. I want what is rightfully mine and I will do everything in my power to get it. Do not mistake my act of mercy for foolishness. The next time you stumble into my space, I will kill you.”
