The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

Chapter 112

RYKER’S P.O.V

Due to everything that had happened lately, I had come to the conclusion that anything was possible but the last thing that I expected to happen was for Camilla to tell me that a vampire told her where to find the blood. As she explained what she meant, I was just left with further confusion. Was he dead? Did they want us to know that they had killed him? Were they trying to tell us that he was alive? There were so many unknown variables and the more I tried to deduce it, the more frustrating it got.

We managed to get back into the palace just as it was getting very dark. The physician was waiting at the door for us and I felt my heart clench. I had never enjoyed giving bad news to families. I could see the trepidation on Camilla’s face so I reached out to squeeze her hand softly.

“You can go up, I’ll talk to him,” there was instant relief on her face but it quickly morphed into concern for me. “I’ll be fine, don’t worry about it. I have done this more times than I care to count.”

She sighed and nodded. I waited until she had walked away before I told the physician what we had found. To see a grown man break down like that, it was gut wrenching. I felt his pain as if it were my own. I had daughters, I couldn’t imagine hearing that there was a possibility that they were dead. I would have lost my mind instantly. I wanted to comfort him but there was nothing that I could do. I couldn’t conjure his son out of thin air no matter how badly I wanted to. The physician passed out after his breakdown and I ordered the guards to make sure that he got to his room safely and that he was well guarded.

Once I was sure that he had been handled appropriately, I made my way up the stairs and towards Audrey’s room. Camilla was trying to tuck her into bed when I walked in and her entire face beamed up. I allowed myself to take it all in and I pulled her into my arms. She was speaking but I could vaguely hear it. I just wanted to know that she was safe.

“I love you, princess,” I whispered and she smiled as if I had just placed the world in her little palms.

“I love you too, daddy.”

We tucked her into bed and I went to see Aurora as well. I just wanted to look at them. I wanted to bask in their presence and be reminded that my children were safe. Camilla never said a word throughout the entire process, she just stood to the side and gave me
