The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

Chapter 164

CAMILLA’S P.O.V

Panic rushed through me like flood as I rushed over to the man. I grabbed his wrist willing that gut wrenching reaction to take place but it didn’t. It felt like I was completely empty but I knew that wasn’t the case, I could still feel the power thrumming beneath my skin, I just needed a small push and he wasn’t giving it. I concentrated all I could on that raw bright power inside of me, it was like a raging storm willing to erupt and I pushed. I willed it to flow out of me and into him and surprisingly it did. This time however, it didn’t come with the pain or the nerve wrenching experience. Maybe it was because I had finally controlled it for the first time but it flowed out of me easily, like a small stream. I watched as the man’s skin illuminated slightly and I prayed to the goddess that he would be fine.

There was a nudge in the back of my mind that told me when it was enough and I pulled my hand away from him. His skin was still black but it was slowly turning back to its right color. My head swam as I struggled to balance myself. I felt arms wrap around me from behind as Ryker pulled me to a standing position. I had to lean on him because of how weak and fragile I was.

“I hope that was f ucking worth it,” he mumbled and I immediately knew he was pis sed at me. I couldn’t blame him considering everything that had happened.

“What do we do now?” I asked and he scoffed.

“We don’t do anything. We are leaving and we will pray that when he wakes up, he doesn’t remember us.”

I dug my feet into the ground to stop him from moving. “You can’t expect us to just leave him here. What if something bad happened to him?”

“That isn’t our problem anymore,” I opened my mouth to protest and he let out a groan of frustration. He turned to me and placed both hands on my shoulders the way he would with a child. “I’m going to say this once and very slowly, I don’t give a s hit what happens to him. Imagine he wakes up with us right next to him, he will assume that you had something to do with it. We already had a problem with the people and trying to convince them that you don’t have healing powers. The last thing we want now is for them to start up again.”

I knew he was right but that didn’t mean I wasn’t worried about the man. There was a possibility that what I did didn’t work. If that were true then it meant he

would die all alone and no one deserved to die that way. However, I knew how risky it could be if we were found here so I nodded and allowed Ryker lead me away. I couldn’t help but watch the man until we had gotten out of range.

conversation was going nowhere because of our vastly different beliefs on the subject. I didn’t want to spend the time arguing when he had a wonderful evening.
