The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

RYKER'S POV

There were times when I seriously doubted the sanity of the guards in the palace and today was one of those times because I found it absolutely insane that I needed to be called to handle something as miniscule as an innocent rogue. By the time we got to the border and I realized exactly what the problem was, I was just about ready to strangle someone to death. It was the kind of matter that didn’t take minutes to handle.

“Are they always like this?” Juan asked as we left and I couldn't help but roll my eyes.

“No, they're not, which is why I'm more annoyed about this,” we rode our horses at a fair pace. “I don’t know what th f**k they were thinking when they called me out for this. They are adults, they should know how to handle f*****g rogues.”

He laughed and comfortable silence settled over us. It remained that way for the next few minutes until Juan clearec his throat. I turned to him and noticed that there was something anxious in his gaze, as if something were plaguing him but he wouldn't say a word.

“Since when did you get shy, Juan?” I drawled. “Ask whatever it is that you want to ask. I will try to answer it to the best of my abilities.”

“Were you terrified?” he asked and my brows furrowed in confusion for a second. “When Camilla was pregnant, were you terrified? Is it normal to feel this way? I am happy, don’t get me wrong, I am f*****g elated but I cannot sleep or think, I don’t know how to do this, I don’t know if I will be able to do this, so were you scared?”

I wasn't sure how to answer that but I figured that honesty would be the best thing.

“When Camilla was pregnant the first time, I wasn’t there. We had an issue, there was some miscommunication and she left. When I found her again, Audrey was already a little grown but to answer your question, it was fucking terrifying. I didn’t know the first thing about being a father and I didn’t know if I would be good to her or not, my father was an asshole.”

He snorted. “You can say that part again.”

A small smile grew on my face. “When Aurora came, I was equally as terrified. I didn’t know how to handle an infant, I thought I was going to be crap about it."

“But you already had Audrey by then,” his brows were furrowed in confusion. “Why would you be scared if you already had Audrey?”

Juan turned to me with an incredulous look. “Your pregnant mate is in that room. Do you really want to leave her to go pick a fight with Damien?
