The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

CAMILLA'S POV

We had twenty-four hours until her set time for attack, and panic was everywhere. Majority of the palace still had no idea what was going on, it was just us and we had planned to keep it that way for as long as possible but as I sat in my office staring at the ceiling, I realized that we were probably well and truly f****d because we were no closer to figuring out how to kill the bitch.

“Camilla,” a voice snapped me out of my thoughts and I looked forward to find Christine staring at me with a look of concern. “I asked you the same question about five time now. Are you alright?”

Are you?” I shot back and she pursed her lips. “What is it?”

“Do you think we should at least inform the guards? They would need to prepare for her wouldn't they? She hasn't said or done anything yet. She has been radio silent and that worries me. Last time, she made sure everyone knew that she was coming.”

“Maybe she didn’t need to this time, we already know,” I shrugged. “Or maybe she just wants to keep us on our toes. don’t know why she would choose to do this. I wish I did and thinking about this is only stressing me out some more I don’t know how to kill her and that is my major concern.”

“Juan has a theory that she isn’t at her full strength,” she explained and I stilled. “HE says that since you lost something then probably she did too. It makes the most sense to me out of everything else I have tried to comd up with.”

She wasn't even looking at me as she spoke. Her eyes were cast down at the piece of paper in front of her. That just showed how much she didn’t believe the theory but she was right, it seemed the most logical. We were both close to death, we should have lost something. I still had zero idea why we were alive but Brigg's words had been ringing in my ears over the past few days.

“I need to go back to that cliff” I announced standing to my feet and her eyes widened. She started to protest but I wasn't going to let her. “Before Briggs left yesterday, he told me something, he said water has memories. Something kept us both alive and I am going to find out.”

“How do you even plan to do that? It isn't like you will just go and sit down and ask the water. Are you even listening to yourself?”

“Asking is exactly what I plan to do,” I made my way over to the door. “You can either come with me or you can stay, I don’t really care but I am going either way.”

She was a mix between exasperated and annoyed but I knew Christine and I already knew what her answer would be She was as desperate as I was to find a solution and if that meant going back to the cliff, she was going to say yes. It didn’t even take her up to five minutes before she sighed and rose to her feet.
