The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

Chapter 120

CAMILLA’S P.O.V

For the next two days, I was on edge, I kept waiting for Alastair to attack the palace and take revenge for the death of his friend but he never did. If anything, he was quieter than before. I began to wonder if the other vampire had been bluffing just so we wouldn’t kill him. I wanted to tell Ryker about my worries but I didn’t want to jinx it. If nothing had happened yet, then I was more than happy to keep it that way. Things were going perfectly, we had the night lock and the guards were training. The town people had become more vigilant and there were fires set at every boundary. There hadn’t been any deaths in two days and I found that to be a record.

“Damien wrote back,” Ryker’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts and I found him at the door to my office. “He thanked us for the poultice and even asked what was inside. He also mentioned that he was going to try to visit soon because he had been hearing about everything that was happening.”

“Are you going to respond?”

“Not right now, there are more pressing things on ground,” he shrugged as he made his way into the office. “We need to figure out a way to get rid of Alastair permanently. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life looking over my shoulder wondering if you are safe.”

“I know,” I sighed as I ran my hands through my hair. “I’m just here hoping that he is going to change. I know it is fantastical and it is not going to happen but you can’t fault me for believing, right?”

He was about to answer when the bell started to ring. I was out of my chair in seconds and we both rushed out of the room. There were guards already getting ready to ride into town. They were so engrossed in their work that none of them even turned to pay heed. Kevin made to walk past me but I grabbed his upper arm pulling him to a complete stop.

“What is happening?” Ryker asked and Kevin hesitated before speaking. “You’re not mute so don’t start now.”

“It’s the school,” he explained slowly and that was all I needed to rush into the stables and grab my horse. I couldn’t even wait for someone else to saddle it for me, I started doing it all on my own.

“Camilla, stop,” Ryker said to me but I ignored him. “I don’t want you there.”
