The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

Chapter 190

CAMILLA’S P.O.V

I felt like I had been thrust underwater. Marie was speaking but I couldn’t hear her. I saw her mouth moving but it came out garbled and like white noise. She apologized to the customer for the disruption and while they were talking, I took that as an excuse to walk away. The day wasn’t over and Marie would have a lot to deal with but she could handle it. I just needed some space.

I didn’t know where I was going to, all I knew was that I needed to go. I heard Marie call out to me but I ignored her. I needed some space to process everything had just happened. How could six years pass and I wasn’t aware. It made absolutely no sense to me. I was running from Tyson, that was the last thing I remembered doing. How could it be that six years had passed and I was only realizing it now?

I felt a hand wrap around my bicep as Marie pulled me to a stop. Her cheeks were red and her hair was a mess. She was breathing heavily as if she had been running and I noticed that she had the keys to the store in her hands. I opened my mouth to speak but she held up a hand to stop me as she tried to catch her breath.

“You walk very fast,” she managed out through staggered breaths. “Couldn’t you have waited a f**king second? I wanted to lock up the store. Are you alright?”

“You can go back,” I said turning away from her. “I just need some space right now, okay?”

“You just found out that you lost six years of your life. I don’t think space is what you need. Except you were joking and that was some elaborate scheme to-”

“Do I look like someone who wants to spend her time on elaborate schemes to prank you?” I turned on her and she went silent. “Look, you don’t even like me, so you should have no problem returning to the shop. I just need to figure out what the hell is wrong and I don’t need you breathing down my neck while I am doing it.”

She raised her brows in amusement. I had never snapped at her like that before, not even when she was being horrible to me but my patience was at an all–time low today. I had too much to worry about and I didn’t need or want to waste my time arguing with her. I turned to leave but I didn’t expect her to keep walking in step with me. I tried to ignore her at first but after a few minutes, I turned to her ready to rip her a new one when she cut me

off.

“I don’t have to like you to know that you need someone right now,” she whispered softly. “Just let me do this, it would help with my crippling guilt.”
