The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

Chapter 123

CAMILLA’S POV

I rushed forward to catch her while Ryker ran straight out of the room. I gritted my teeth as I fought to carry Christine’s entire body weight. I dragged her over to the small lounge in the office and gently lay her on it before rushing out to call the physician. I was torn between wanting to make sure Christine was okay and wanting to find the girls but I figured sine Ryker was already on that then I could handle Christine.

Thankfully, the physician wasn’t occupied when I got to him and he wasted no time in rushing into my office to look over her. While he watched her, Ryker returned with both girls in his arms and I wasted no time in rushing over to them. I ran my hands through Audrey’s curls and glanced over at Aurora who looked to be fast asleep. I ran my eyes over their body for any obvious signs of injury but I let out a sigh of relief when I realized that they were good.

“Thank goodness you’re okay,” I breathed unable to take my eyes off them. “What happened? Are you guys okay?” I turned to Ryker. “Where did you find them?”

“They were in the palace. I don’t think they were with her.”

I turned back to Audrey to confirm this but she just shrugged, “Aunt Christine said she would be back but she never came back.”

I hated the fact that relief poured through me. I felt horrible in the seconds after I felt it. I hated what had happened to Christine but I was glad that my children were not there when it happened. Underneath all that relief however was concern, I turned to Ryker and saw that he had the exact same expression on his face. Alastair was crossing boundaries he shouldn’t and he was putting the girls in danger.

“Camilla,” I heard a broken voice from behind me and I turned to see Christine rising slowly. “My head hurts so badly.”

I rushed over to her immediately and crouched down by her side. She looked fine and I was relieved when the physician informed me that the blood on her body did not belong to her and she just passed out from stress and worry. She looked like c rap and she seemed a little disoriented but other than that, she seemed fine.

“Do you remember what happened?” I asked and she nodded slowly. “Can you tell me?”

“They came out of nowhere. There were only two of them but it was enough to terrify me because I only had one guard on me. We went into the woods because I was looking for a picnic spot. I know I shouldn’t have been there but I just wanted a sense of normalcy, you know. We fought them but I was worried that they had come into the palace or something.”
