The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

Chapter 110

CAMILLA’S P.O.V

I read over the words a few times wondering if I was reading properly and I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw it. It was just a few sentences but it had shifted the trajectory of everything that we had been working on. They read: I met Alastair in the woods today and I was almost caught. We have to be more careful next time. If anyone finds out what we are doing, it could cost us our lives.

I couldn’t believe that my father knew Alastair and they were friends of some sort. I almost laughed. It seemed like every single problem we had tied back to my father and his actions. In that moment, I couldn’t help but wish that the man was alive so that he could deal with the consequences of his own actions instead of leaving them up for me to handle.

“I can’t believe it,” Ryker muttered as he flipped through the pages. “There are no other mentions of Alastair on this page but I know there has to be something else. What were they doing? What is it that he didn’t want anyone to know.”

“My father was smart apparently. He may not have put it out directly but it will be there. It has to be somewhere.”

We were almost done with the books. We had finished half of the pile. If we didn’t find anything then we were ultimately back to square one. Ryker tried to convince me to go to bed but after that discovery, I couldn’t even force myself to feel tired anymore. We read straight into the early hours of the morning. I didn’t realize the sun had come up until light began peeking through our curtains.

I was exhausted- we both were- and we hadn’t found anything else which put a damper on our spirits. I was practically a walking corpse as I made my way out of the room. There was no hiding the tiredness in my eyes despite washing my face a few times in the hopes that it would make me look better.

I got to the dining room with Ryker in tow. and stopped in my tracks when I noticed that Alara was already there. It wasn’t her presence that took me off guard but the fact that she was seated in my chair which was directly next to Audrey and on the other side of where Ryker would sit. She was locked in a conversation with my daughter so she didn’t immediately realize when we walked in.

“Mummy,” Audrey squealed when she saw us and that was what made Alara notice. Audrey glanced between me and Alara before dropping her voice to whisper. “You’re in my mummy’s seat.”

Her

eyes widened. “Your majesty, I am so sorry. I had no idea. Please forgive me.”
