Chapter 105

CAMILLA’S P.O.V

We stood there alone for what felt like seconds but in reality was half an hour. By the time we got out, I was relatively calmer about everything. Ryker and I went back to his office where I found all the books I had taken from the library. They were arranged on his desk in a neat pile and I couldn’t stop myself from running my finger over it slowly.

“Did you read them all?” I asked and he nodded. “Why?”

“I needed to make myself busy. You were unconscious and I needed to feel like I was doing something to help you. I read it to you sometimes, a part of me hoped that you could hear me or something.”

It was the first time he was speaking about what happened while I was unconscious and there was something painfully vulnerable at the way he spoke. It sounded resigned, I had never heard him sound that way before.

“I did hear you, sometimes,” I whispered and he looked up at me. “It was like a limbo of sorts. I could hear sometimes and other times it was radio silence. It was the only thing that kept me sane.”

He leaned forward and pressed a kiss to my forehead. I didn’t want to think about my time there so I cleared my throat in a bid to change the subject back to the books.

“Did you find anything useful in the books while you were looking?” I asked and he shook his head with a scoff.

“Not at all actually, I got more information about vampires from you than I did from these books but it doesn’t make sense,” I scrunched my brows in confusion so he explained. “If there was a war, wouldn’t it have been smarter for people to document everything they could about vampires? If I knew I had an enemy, I would want to know everything about them and I would keep that information readily available just in case something like that ever happens again.”

“You’re right,” I muttered under my breath. “My mother told me to forgive myself and my father and t would help me get to the bottom of things but I have no idea what she meant by that.”

“Are you upset with him?”

“I don’t think so. I don’t know him well enough to have any sort of feelings about him. I’ve never even asked Christine about him. I just don’t care much.”

“At this point, it is the best lead we have. Do you want to talk to her about it?” I wanted to say no because a part of me was scared about what I would find out but just like
