The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

Chapter 200

RYKER’S PO.V

For that one split moment, I thought I had my mate back. It was amusing to say the least how I could have her and not have her at the same time. She still laughed the same way, she spoke the same way, hell, she even walked the same way but I knew deep down that this was someone completely different. She was still the woman I had fallen in love with but she also wasn’t. The part of her I knew was buried deep down somewhere and I didn’t know how to get her out.

I had hoped that bringing her to the palace, bringing her around Audrey would spark something in her but the only thing that came to light was how awkward and uncomfortable she looked holding our daughter, the same daughter that she loved fiercely and would have died protecting- she couldn’t remember her.

“When do I have to meet the rest of the palace?” she asked snapping me out of my thoughts. It was a testament to how different she now was that she could not remember a thing. “I presume I will have to give an announcement sooner or later to explain why I haven’t been around.”

“Yes, but that can be arranged for a few days from now. You might want some time to-”

“No,” she cut me off. “I want to do this once and for all. I don’t want to spend any more time thinking about it or I will psych myself out. We can do it tomorrow.”

I raised a brow in shock but said nothing. If there was one good thing that was going to come out of this it was that Camilla wasn’t afraid to say her mind anymore. Before she would have cowered or agreed simply to make things easier for everyone else but now she was putting herself first. It was undeniably s exy to say the least.

“Whatever you want,” I agreed finally. “It is your choice but the pack aside, you have to see the girls. You don’t have to but it would be the right thing to do. I know Audrey is excited to see you.”

Just like that, her face fell and tension returned to her shoulders. I knew it was a lot to put on her shoulders but something told me that the longer she spent with the girls, the more likely she was to have her memory back. She just needed a little push, she needed something that was going to spark a memory.

I thought she was going to disagree. She looked obviously uncomfortable and out of place but after a moment of deliberation, she nodded. “I can’t avoid it for so long, can I?”

We started to leave when the door to the council room opened and Caius walked out. Before he shut the door behind him, I didn’t miss the sight of the other elders arguing. Caius looked between Camilla and I before finally settling his eyes on me.
