The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

CAMILLA'S POV

It was exactly forty-five minutes before someone came to find me. I would have expected it to be either Christine or Ryker but it was Juan who walked into the private living room. I had opted against going to the bedroom because I knew that would have been the first place anyone checked. Juan took the seat next to me but didn’t say a word, he just placed his legs up on the center table and leaned back.

I watched him for five minutes before speaking. “The silent treatment doesn’t work on me. It isn’t going to make me miraculously start speaking.”

“And yet, here you are, speaking to me,” he drawled and I rolled my eyes. “I figured you could use some company. Ryker asked to give you space but that word doesn’t exist in my vocabulary.”

I snorted. I was still exhausted from what happened at the river but I was slowly getting my energy back. Just because I didn't keep all of the negative emotions didn’t mean I wasn't feeling the effects of them. If you are not reading this novel on Jobn'ib.com, some sentences are incomplete.

“We had an idea,” he said suddenly. “We are going to take the dagger and lead Reina into where we want her. She wil follow it and once she is on our turf, we can defeat her once and for all.”

“Is that smart? Taking the dagger out in public, I mean. It doesn’t seem like a very good idea. It is what she wants an we risk it falling into her hands.”

“It is the best we have,” he shrugged. He looked like he wanted to say more but the door to the office opened and Audrey walked in. I was shocked to see her walking around the palace without anyone behind her.

I rushed over to her and bent down until I was at eye level with her. I ran my hands over her trying to make sure there were no obvious injuries. “Are you okay? What are you doing out here?”

“Dad and Uncle Damien are talking,” she said simply. “I closed my eyes and Aunt Riley thought I was sleeping. I wanted to make her laugh but I saw them outside the door. She is worried about Uncle Damien and everyone is mad Is this because of the bad woman?”

I gave her a small smile. “You don’t have to worry about anything, okay? You are fine, everything is fine. Dad and Uncle Damien are probably just having adult talk.” Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Daddy seemed mad,” she whispered as if it were a secret. “He was waving his hands all around,” she waved hers for added effect. “His face got all red and Uncle Damien looked sad. Are they fighting?”

I glanced over at Juan over my shoulder who just shrugged. He had no idea what was going on either and I couldn't ask him to check for me- he hated Damien. To him, this was the best thing that could ever happen. After a moment o hesitation, I picked up Audrey and balanced her on my hip before carrying her all the way to Damien and Riley's room. To my utter surprise, she was right.
