The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

Chapter 122

CAMILLA’S P.O.V

I had forgotten the exact reason I came looking for Ryker the moment I saw him with her. I expected some kind of anger, some perceived form of emotion but there was nothing. As I took in the scene, I knew there was something I was missing. Ryker wouldn’t cheat on me, I knew that with every fiber of my being. I wasn’t the insecure child I was all those years ago when I left his pack. We had children and he would never jeopardize that for anything or anyone so I knew there had to be an explanation as to why they were standing like that.

He opened his mouth to speak but I held up a hand to stop him, it wasn’t a conversation I wanted to have with her in the room. I tried to get a read on her but her expression was blank. There was remorse in her eyes but I wasn’t sure if it was genuine or not. It was almost as if the more I tried to figure her out, the harder it was for her.

“Alara, you said you had family in another pack, right?” I asked and she nodded. “I figure now would be a very good time to send a letter to them, don’t you? I presume this entire thing with the vampires will be over soon. We wouldn’t want to keep you away from your family any longer.”

I saw the moment she understood the true meaning behind my words. She bowed her head in shame and nodded. She awkwardly made to walk past me. She stopped directly in front of me and opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something but at the last minute, she thought better of it and walked out. As soon as she was gone, Ryker started speaking.

“It isn’t what it looks like, I swear. I don’t even know how it happened. I don’t want you to think that anything happened.”

“I know nothing happened.”

“I was coming to you and she was slipping so I-” he paused and turned to me. “Wait, what did you say?”

“I said I know,” I made my way over to him. “I trust you, I’m not worried about what I saw because I know it was nothing. You don’t have to explain every second of your life to me, honestly, it doesn’t matter.”

“Are you sure?” he asked and I nodded. “You aren’t even the least bit jealous?”

“Did I enjoy seeing her hands on you? No, of course, not, but I’m not going to overreact because of it. Besides, it is only a matter of time before she leaves, don’t you think?” I saw the relief hit him like a ton of bricks and he rested his forehead against mine before kissing me slowly.
