The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

Chapter 186

RYKER’S P.O.V

There are moments in your life when something happens and it feels like you have been changed forever. As I lay by the edge of the cliff watching my mate’s body fall to the bottom, I couldn’t help but realize that maybe this was one of those moments. I couldn’t hold her up, I watched her fall. The thoughts swirling in my head made me want to reach in and pull my own brain out of my head. It was too much.

I had to jump in after her. I rushed to my feet ready to go in when I felt a hard clamp on my wrist and I was tugged back from the edge. I fought against Juan’s hold but he was not willing to budge.

“Let go of me or I swear I will make you regret it,” I threatened but he didn’t release me one bit. “I have to find her. She is down there waiting for me.”

“Ryker, if you jump, you will die,” he warned but his words didn’t register in my head. The only thing I could think of was my mate pale and in pain as she fell. “Look, your daughter is right here waiting for you, you have to go to her.”

“I have to go to my mate.”

I fought against his hold but he wouldn’t let me go. I knew nothing save for incapacitation was going to make him release me. If I wanted that, I was going to play dirty but Juan looked like he was expecting everything. He was too level headed to let me do something as drastic as jumping off a cliff.

“What if it was Christine? Wouldn’t you go in after her?”

“I would go down like a normal person and search for her. I already mind linked the guards and they are looking for her as we speak. Your daughter is crying on the floor behind you, your other child is waiting in a cave with some other guards. You need to snap out of this and be their father.”

I stilled. He was speaking like Camilla was dead but she wasn’t. I could still feel our bond in my chest, it wasn’t gone- she wasn’t gone. “She is alive.”

“Ryker,” he began slowly but I shoved him off. “I am just trying to be realistic here. That fall could kill a person.”

“I know what I feel,” I pushed past him. He followed closely behind me as if worried that I was going to have a mental break. I walked over to Aurora who was squirming on the ground in tears. I slowly picked her up and she
