The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

Chapter 188

CAMILLA’S P.O.V

There was darkness and my head was pounding in my skull. My entire body felt like it was being weighed down by a couple thousand tons and it didn’t matter how much I tried to lift my hands, I just couldn’t. I could smell dampness and hear the rushing of water but that was just about it. The more aware I became, the more my surroundings began to make sense. I could feel something soft beneath me, like cotton and I could hear footsteps but they were soft and gentle, almost cautious.

“I don’t know, look, I cannot think properly right now,” I heard someone whisper. The voice sounded feminine and a little older.

“What do you mean by you don’t know? There is a stranger in your home. Are you insane? She could be a murderer, she could be dangerous,” the second voice was also feminine but much younger- I would have guessed early twenties.

“She isn’t dangerous,” the first voice shot back with a scoff. “Look at her, she doesn’t look like she can hurt a fly.”

“She had blood on her when she came in. There was blood on her hands too. She could have killed someone.”

I forced my eyes open at that moment and it took a second for me to adjust to the brightness of the room. The room was fairly small with only a single bed that I was lying on and a table and chair in the room. My head was still pounding but I tried to drag myself into a sitting position. My movements caught the attention of the people in the room and they immediately rushed over to me.

There were two women there and it was obvious that they were mother and daughter. The older woman had salt and pepper hair that was tied neatly behind her neck. She had a warm smile on her face and she looked genuinely worried about me. The other girl had hair the shade of the sun with sharp and suspicious blue eyes. She glared at me with her hands crossed over her chest and I immediately knew she didn’t want me there. Regardless, I managed to give them a warm smile.

“How are you, my dear?” the older woman asked. “Do you remember anything?”

I shook my head which proved to be the wrong move because my head pulsed. I lifted both hands to try and stop the pounding but it did little to nothing. The older woman rushed over to my side immediately with a wet wash cloth and placed it directly over my forehead.
