The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

CAMILLA'S POV

I waited for Ryker and Audrey to emerge from the bathroom. If I said I wasn't worried, I would have been lying through my teeth. Something was bothering Ryker, I had seen it since the moment we had killed Reina but he didn't want to talk about it. I didn’t want to push too much but that didn’t mean that I wasn't concerned and curious as to what it was.

Aurora lay on her back in front of me saying words that I didn’t recognized but loved to listen to either way. I smiled at my daughter who was oblivious to everything. I couldn't help but crave the feeling of ignorant bliss that came witt being a child. I placed soft kisses all over her cheeks and she giggled loudly.

“Do me next,” Audrey announced rushing over to me.

She jumped into my arms before I even had the chance to process what was happening. She knocked the wind right out of me but I wasn't even upset, she was my child and I wanted her next to me. I kissed her face all over until she finally managed to wiggle herself out of my arms. I watched her move over to her sister's side and I watched both girls with vast attention.

I felt Ryker behind me. He placed both hands on my shoulders and I leaned back into him. Neither of us said a word, we just watched our children playing. He was seated behind me, his arms wrapped around my upper body while I just basked in the feel of his skin on mine. He pressed a kiss to the side of my head and I sighed.

“Are you okay?” I asked down the mind link and he hummed. It wasn’t a yes but it also wasn’t a no. “You know that you can talk to me, right?”

“I know, baby,” he assured me but there was something in his voice, something that sounded almost defeated. “It is nothing important, I'm just happy that we are safe and nobody got hurt.

“Is that really what this is about?” I didn’t believe him one bit. He was lying through his teeth and he knew it. “You could at least try to be more believable.”

He snorted. “Give me a few days, I'll try again.”

We both laughed at that and I sighed. “Just tell me that you'll be fine and I will drop it"
