The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

RYKER'S POV

There was no way to explain what we had seen except for the fact that it was pure magic. It sounded absurd to me even when I thought about it. She walked into the middle of the raging stream but it didn’t sway her, we tried to go after her but it was like there was an invisible barrier at the shore that prevented us from doing so. Then the water had encompassed her and I nearly lost my mind because I thought she was going to drown and just as quickly as everything started, it stopped. It was a whirlwind of emotions but one thing I knew was that I never wanted to feel that way again- at least not in my lifetime.

When she passed out, I cursed. I wasn’t sure how it was possible to move as fast as I did but I managed to catch her before she hit the water. The water was surprisingly calm despite the fact that it had been a raging storm just a few minutes ago and it seemed like it almost parted ways for us to get out quickly because it wasn't as stressful as it should have been.

Christine and Juan were standing anxiously at the edge of the river and I had to clamp down on my annoyance before I spoke. “Can you get the f*****g carriage ready or something?”

My words seemed to snap them into action because they rushed to do just as I had asked. By the time we managed to get into the carriage, Camilla still hadnt woken up and I was starting to worry. She was breathing properly and she seemed fine through our mate bond. It felt like she was just sleeping but that didn’t stop me from worrying. I pulled her across my lap and stroked her hair softly to keep it out of her face. The ride was terse and the air was pregnant with questions but no one said a thing. The only person who could answer them was knocked out cold.

She started to rouse a few minutes out from the palace. It was a soft groan at first and then her eyes slowly fluttered open. Relief poured through me and I quickly looked her over for any signs of injury. Once I was sure that she was fine, I placed a kiss to the center of her head.

“Are we on our way back?” she asked and I hummed in response. She could have pulled herself off my legs but for some reason, she only nestled closer to me. I wasn't about to push her away so I simply wrapped my arms tighter around her. “I have a pounding headache.”

“You walked into the middle of a raging river,” I couldn't keep the bite out of my voice. “That will not exactly leave you feeling like you just woke up on a bed of feathers now will it?”

She rolled her eyes at me and despite the fact that I was only half joking, I was still slightly annoyed so I switched to our mind link. “You don’t do stupid things like that, Camilla. How many times have we spoken about this? You have to let me know your plans. I tried to go after you but I couldn't. There was a f*****g barrier around the river. I couldn’ reach out to you."

“I'm sorry for scaring you, that was never my intention,” I could tell she was being genuine. “The thing is, I didn’t evel realize I was going to get into the river until I got into the river. It was almost like something was controlling me, something was telling me what to do.”

I wanted to ask what she had learned but I couldn't even bring myself to say the words. The only thing that mattered to me in that moment was her and until she offered, I wasn't going to ask.
