The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

Chapter 109

CAMILLA’S PO.V

I never would have expected Ryker to be the one to invite a complete stranger to live with us but judging by the way things were. I couldn’t bring myself to blame him. She was currently homeless and her life was in danger. If I knew anything, it was that Alastair wasn’t going to let things slide that easily. He wanted her and I knew he was going to stop at nothing until he got her. We were unable to save her things from the fire so she just sat in the carriage with us.

I watched her during the ride and I could clearly see the sadness etched on her face. I couldn’t blame her considering that she was leaving everything she knew and everything that she had grown up with. I couldn’t imagine how I would have felt if I were in her shoes. I tried engaging her in a conversation a few times but once I realized that she wasn’t really into it, I just let it slide.

Once we arrived at the palace, she was the first to get out of the carriage. She looked uncomfortable and out of place amidst the glitz and glamour of the palace and I couldn’t help but feel for her considering that I felt the same way the first time I found myself here.

“Come,” I told her. “I’ll take

you to your room.”

Her eyes widened and for a second, I thought she was actually going to refuse but at the last minute, she nodded and followed me. She kept a steady pace behind me despite how many times I tried to close the gap between us. She took everything in with wide eyes and I couldn’t help but smile to myself each time she let out a small gasp.

We got to the guest room and I ushered it inside. Thankfully, it was always cleaned so there were already fresh sheets. Her eyes widened to the point of saucers as she took in the room. She ran her fingers over every surface gently in awe. I stayed back by the door so that she could have her moment. There was no reason for me to intrude or make things worse.

“This is amazing, are you sure it is for me?” she asked and I nodded. “Thank you so much. I don’t know what I would have done if not for you, your majesty. I promise to be out of your hair as soon as I can.”

“You can stay as long as you need. Ryker extended the invitation to you. No one will question why you are here,” she looked like she was going to cry so I crossed the length of the room and hugged her. “You don’t have to join us for meals but if you want to then no one will protest.”/

“I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I am, your majesty,” she pulled away from me. “I probably reek of smoke. I should take a shower.” She began in the direction of the
