The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

CAMILLA’S P.O.V

I took a step back and eyed the stranger with a wary look. “I’m sorry but who are you? Why have you been looking for me?”

She opened her mouth to speak but at the last minute, she decided against it and cleared her throat. Marie was clutching my arm and I wasn’t sure if it was for my sake or hers. The stranger looked familiar but that was all, I couldn’t put a name to her face and I couldn’t tell if I had actually met her before.

“My name is Christine and I am a representative of the royal family. You have to come with me,” she announced and my spine straightened. I turned to Marie in a panic and she pulled me closer to her.

“Why do you want to see her?” Marie asked, her voice shaky but fierce. “You cannot just come in here and demand to see her for no reason.”

Christine raised a brow and I saw a small smirk grow on her lips. I could have sworn I saw something sad in her expression but I blinked and suddenly it was gone. “I could have you taken by force or you can come with me free of charge. Either way, you will come to me, how it happens is your choice.”

Marie pursed her lips and I knew she was going to defend me again so I gently released my hand from her grip and turned to her with a small smile. “I’ll be fine, I promise.”

“You can’t just go!” she exclaimed but I didn’t want to make more of a scene. We already had the entire market staring at us and I didn’t want to make matters worse. She pulled me down so she could whisper. “What if your mate is the one who sent them? What if they are here to take you back to him?”

“Then I’ll go back,” I responded simply. “You don’t want to be a part of this, you should go

She seemed surprised that I agreed to go with her. I was led towards the horses and I was stunned when one of the guards dismounted his horse for me. I blinked at them. wondering if it were some kind of mistake. Guards didn’t just dismount for random people but neither of them blinked and I just assumed it was some kind of courtesy.
