The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

Chapter 126

CAMILLA’S P.O.V

Ryker calmed Damien down while I just sat in my office scrolling through the books mildly shocked by what had happened. I knew there was something between them but I couldn’t wrap my head around it. Damien was mated or at least about to mate with Riley, the last thing he needed was to be having that kind of outburst about another woman. It didn’t matter that a part of me wanted them together, I wasn’t going to do that to Riley. She deserved better.

Ryker walked into my office about an hour after leaving with Damien and he looked frustrated. I opened my mouth to speak but no words would come out. I had never seen him so put off in a long time and I didn’t blame him. He already had so much to deal with and the last thing he needed was to be worried about Damien and his sister’s relationship.

“Tell me the truth,” he began slowly and I turned to him. “You saw him out there, didn’t you?” I nodded. “Did that look like a man who was ready to be mated to my sister?”

“I can’t-”

“Yes you can,” he cut me off. “Answer the question because I need to know what the fuck is happening. I need to know what the hell kind of mess is going to come out of this and how I am going to fix it. How do I tell my sister that the man she is in love with might quite possibly love someone else?”

“It might just be the mate bond.”

“Then why doesn’t he break it?”

I couldn’t answer that because I had asked myself the same question over and over again. I didn’t have the answers he was searching for and the painful part was that I was also searching for them. I needed those answers as much as he did. It wasn’t just him who had something to lose- I did too.

“I found the place,” I decided that changing the subject was a better idea. “He didn’t say much about it but I tried to piece it together from other entries. All he said was they went into the woods but at other times, he spoke about going to a waterfall with Alastair. I think that might be where he is waiting with them.”

Ryker ran his hands down the face. “I will brief the men. Damien was right about one thing, we cannot let them be with him until tomorrow. We need to get them out tonight and it might be dangerous so we need to set out the plan now. If we make one wrong move then we lose.”
