The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

CAMILLA'S POV

For the rest of the day, it was like living with a stranger. He wouldn't look at me for longer than a few seconds and th tension between us was so thick that it could have been cut with a butter knife. I had hoped that before the day would be over, he would forgive me but nothing changed. When we went to tuck the girls in, he pretended to be his usual self but the moment we walked out, he was back to pretending like I didn't exist. The honest truth was that I couldn't even blame him, it was my fault after all.

When we got to the room, he lay on the lounge with his back turned to me. His breathing was even to mimic sleeping but I knew he was wide awake. I couldnt sleep either. I just lay in bed staring at his resting figure wondering how different things would have been if I had just told him. I honestly thought I was doing what was best for us all and now that he knew, I was on edge hoping that neither Marie nor Peggy figured out that something was up.

“I can feel you staring at me,” he drawled and my cheeks heated as I looked away. The air was thick with silence for a full minute before I heard him shuffling on the couch. “I don’t hate you, Camilla, I'm not even upset with you.”

“It seems like you are. You barely even look at me.”

“I know, and it isn't for the reason that you think. I need you to trust me and if that means letting you come to me or your own then that is what I will do. I need you to realize that you don’t have to do this yourself. You could have just told me.”

“I couldn't,” I whispered. “I told you, they are always there. I can feel someone watching me the entire time. I cannot see them, but I know someone is there. I don’t know how else to explain this. I didn't want to do this. If I had my way I would have told you from the beginning but I couldn't. I know you don’t believe me but it’s the truth.”

“I have to believe you, Camilla, you're my mate, I am obligated to believe that you won't lie to me but that doesn’t change the fact that you didn’t try. You could have dropped hints, you could have said something but you didn't meaning you didn’t mind doing this alone. What happens if you were right and someone had hurt you? I would neve have known that you remembered us."

I sighed. “I'm sorry, Ryker. I know that isn’t enough but that’s all that I can offer right now.”

I wanted him by my side. I felt grossly overwhelmed and I just wanted my mate by my side and it dawned on me that my actions had brought me to this place.

I hesitated for a minute before slowly sliding out of bed. I saw him tense, he was lying on his back but when I got clos enough, his eyes settled on me.

I didn’t expect Loris to be seated there in front of the fountain. I hadn't mentioned anything about wanting to start training. “I figured it was only a matter of time before you showed up,” he mused. “Have you been practicing or are we going to have to start over?

Once she was sure that no one was going to send her off, she pulled away from me and went to sit by the bench close to the fountain.
