The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

Chapter 243

RYKER'S POV

I knew I was dreaming. I wasn’t sure how I knew, I just did.

It was completely dark, I couldn't even see my hands in front of me. I had never felt darkness like this in my life but what makes it worse was that it was alive. I could almost feel the darkness breathing, I could feel it moving around me. Fear gripped my chest and panic clawed at my throat. The emotions were not mine but they also were at the same time. It was almost as if someone was force feeding it to me.

“What the hell is this?” I called out but I got no response. “I don’t have time for this. Just tell me what the f**k you want.”

There was a soft hissing sound so close to my ear that I turned sharply but there was nothing. I was alone but I wasn't. It felt like I was losing my mind. The sound was suddenly on the other side of me and I was whipping around trying to find the source to no avail. My skin prickled with annoyance because the sound only intensified.

“What do you want?” I called out into the darkness and I could have sworn that I heard a laugh in response. “I didn't ask for this. I don’t want her magic. I never asked for it”

“She offered it to you,” I heard an answering hiss and I stilled. I wasn't expecting a response, I was just speaking out loud. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Who are you?”

“I'm you, I am inside of you, I am around you, I am yours,” the words were punctuated with a cackle that reverberated. It was at that moment that I realized the sounds weren't coming from beside me, it was happening inside my own head. I slapped my hands over my ears hoping it would block out the sounds but it didn't, it only got worse.

“Get out of my head!” I screamed but all I received was a laugh. “I don’t want her offering”

“It doesn’t work like that, Ryker,” the voice sounded amused. “We are one, and so we will be, forever.”

I felt something ice cold grab me by my arms and I was thrown forward. I woke with a gasp and it took me a second to gather my bearings. Somehow, Camilla hadn't woken up and I felt relieved because I wasn’t prepared to answer her questions. I ran my hands through my hair and slowly dragged myself out of bed to splash some water on my face. I couldn't shake that eerie feeling no matter how much I tried. I stood in the cold bathroom for five minutes trying to shake it off.

When I returned to the room, Camilla was still sleeping. She lay on her stomach with her hair pooling around her like a halo. I couldn't resist reaching out to tuck a strand away from her face and shoulders. She mumbled something under her breath as I kissed her shoulder softly. I just needed to remind myself that she was real and I wasn't dreaming anymore. At the touch of her skin and the inhaling of her scent, I felt some of the tension leave my shoulders.
