The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

Chapter 118

CAMILLA’S P.O.V

We were on edge after that because it meant that someone was onto our plan but whoever it was didn’t come around us again. It was almost like they were trying to be careful so as not to draw more attention to themselves. By the next morning, we still weren’t any

closer to finding out who they were but I was excited because the team that went out to find the night lock were supposed to be returning any day from now. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to use it on Alastair but it felt good to know that we had a backup plan if need be. I knew Ryker didn’t feel the same way, he wanted to get rid of Alastair as soon and as quietly as possible.

We were at breakfast getting Audrey ready for her first day when they returned. I was itching to see the infamous plant that could incapacitate someone as powerful as Alastair but my daughter was more important. She was terrified about her first day and hadn’t stopped gripping onto mine and Ryker’s hands for dear life. We took the carriage to the school and I could see her bouncing her feet anxiously. I could tell that if given the opportunity, she was going to sprint the other way without looking back.

“Everything will be fine,” I dropped my voice to a whisper and she looked up at me with wide and hopeful eyes. “I promise you, this will be the best time of your life and you are going to love it.”

“Are you sure?” she asked and I nodded. She still looked a little hesitant but at least she had stopped bouncing her feet. “Will you come get me after school?”

“I don’t know, sweetheart, if we are busy, we might have to send some guards to get you but we will be waiting for you at home if that is anything. We will be counting down the moments until you get back.”

She didn’t seem happy about it but she nodded. Once we got to the school, there were other students going in at the same time. Some arrived in carriages just like us but others were simply walking in. Ryker helped Audrey out and she looked so small and timid. I was unsure of what else I could say to make her feel better when a little girl walked up to us. She was in the grey uniform that everyone else was wearing. Audrey got hers last night because we were adamant that she doesn’t stand out from the crowd so as not to make her first day awkward.

“Hi, are you new?” the little girl asked and Audrey nodded slowly. “My name is Maya, do you want to come in with me?”

She was a beautiful girl with blond pigtails and bright blue eyes. Audrey hesitated before nodding and taking her outstretched hand.

“My name is Audrey,” she said slowly and Maya beamed wide enough to rival the sun.
