The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

CAMILLA'S POV

“She just walked out without saying anything else?” Christine asked after I had finished explaining everything that happened with Peggy and I nodded. “Was she confused or something? Maybe she didn’t understand what it was that you were trying to ask.”

“She understood,” I sighed deeply. “Her story didn’t align. At first she said that she managed to run away and get to the hospital then she said she was beaten within an inch of her life. I think that whatever made the people forget is making her mix up the stories. I don’t know if it is weaker or she was just remembering the truth but something is up.”

There were sighs all around. We were in the private library which has somewhat become our meeting point. Juan was sitting next to Christine and holding her hand, they were better at hiding their emotions on a good day but I could tell that they were worried about this. This wasn’t something we were experienced in and neither of us knew where or how to start.

“Perhaps you could try talking to her again,” Ryker suggested and I nodded. It was the only option we had. She was the only one who could tell us what was happening without us rousing suspicion. “In the meantime, I have guards keeping an eye on Marie. She hasn't done anything suspicious yet, she just stays in her room.”

I exhaled deeply before turning to Christine. “Did you find out anything about them from their town? Was there any suspicious news?”

She shook her head. “The answers are still the same. They don’t even remember you. It is as if the last few months were wiped out of their brains. I have done everything save for going there myself. I don’t know what else to do. If you want me to-"

“No,” I cut her off. “You have done more than enough. We just have to put more pressure on Peggy. She definitely has something and she can tell us. I trust her, I just need to know how to get the information out of her. In the meantime we just do what Ryker said and just try to avoid suspicion. I don't want her knowing that we are aware. There is too much at stake here with the girls and-"

I trailed off not knowing if Christine had told Ryker yet about her pregnancy. She gave me a warm smile before nodding letting me know that it was alright.

“She is within the palace walls and has access to us and the kids. Riley is here too and I don’t want anyone getting hurt when they don’t have to,” I said finally. “Let us try to keep this as discreet as possible, okay?”

There were nods all around and we finally stood to our feet. There was a lot of work to attend to and we couldnt be away from the palace for too long without rousing suspicion as to where we were.
