The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

Chapter 89

CAMILLA’S PO.V

I was so excited to finally have things settle down. It felt like ages since we had any form of peace and I could finally spend long parts of my day with my family. Audrey in particular loved that and she made sure to milk every hour we were able to spend with her. She played her cards well and managed to convince Ryker to take her to do whatever she wanted. I was just happy to see my family safe and happy, it had a very content feeling to it. It felt like I could finally breathe without feeling like someone was looking over my shoulder and waiting for me to fail. It was also an added bonus that I hadn’t seen the elders in over a week. I was relieved and I prayed that the feeling would last.

I made my way towards the training grounds with apprehension in my heart. I had started training again full time thanks to Ryker’s encouragement and it was still weird at first but I was slowly getting back into a comfortable point with my powers. There was still a small part of me that held a little bit of resentment to the powers but I was beginning to get over it. It also helped that Lois was one of the kindest and most patient people I had ever met.

He had been trying to get me to summon water from moisture but it as difficult. My brows were tinged with sweat and my head hurt but I was unable to do it. It felt as though it was just out of my grip. I could almost feel it but I couldn’t get to it. I resisted the urge to scream in frustration and just bit down on my bottom lip. “Your majesty, forgive me for this but I don’t think you are trying hard enough,” Lois said slowly after I had failed to conjure up anything and I narrowed my eyes at him. “The water is all around you. It is no different from pulling water out of a stream, just pull it and use it.”

“I am aware of what I am supposed to do but I suppose it is harder to pull water out of thin air considering that it is air,” I couldn’t keep the snark out of my voice.

Lois sighed and made his way over to me. “You remind me a lot of our mother. I didn’t train her but I was present for most of her sessions. May I speak freely?” I waved my hands. “I see her stubborn streak in you.”

“I don’t think stubborn would be the first word I would use to describe myself.”

“I don’t mean it in a bad way at all. I meant that you both have me ntal blocks in your minds that are too stubborn to remove- or maybe, you don’t want to remove them.”

I crossed my arms over my chest and turned to him. “I don’t know what you mean by that.”

“I think that you don’t want to use your powers anymore, at least, that is the vibe I am getting off you. It is almost as if you despise them for some reason. Your mother did too because she was never supposed to have them,” before I could ask what he meant, he made his way over to the chairs and gestured for me to follow
