Chapter 117

CAMILLA’S P.O.V

As soon as Ryker rushed into my office, I knew that something was wrong. He could barely speak and he looked like he had seen a ghost. I stood to my feet instantly as he closed the door behind him to give us a semblance of privacy.

I could tell there was still a little guilt from the son over what he had told Alastair and I didn’t know how to tell him that I didn’t blame him. I knew he didn’t have a choice and he did what he thought he needed to do in order to stay alive. It was what anyone would have done. Each time I opened my mouth to tell him that, he would
