The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

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

I had to leave her and I was sure Ryker felt the same way. It wasn’t easy to leave our children in the care of others but there was so much to be done, especially now and I would much rather leave her for a few moments than leave the kingdom in disarray and risk her getting hurt as a repercussion.
