The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

CAMILLA'S POV

There was silence for two minutes before Christine spoke. “I don't like this feeling.”

“What feeling?” I had an idea what she was talking about but I wasn't going to put words in her mouth.

She had always had an issue with expressing herself. It was easier for her to use logic, I think it was one of the reasons she got along with Ryker so well, they were two very logical individuals but this was something that even logic couldn't fix and she couldn't understand it. She was getting mated today and it was as emotion as it got. For someone like her who didn’t put much stock on emotions, I could only imagine how different it was for her to wake up to the myriad of emotions in her chest.

“My chest,” she touched her hand to her skin as if it would explain it. “It feels weird, I don’t like how it feels. It's tight I can't breathe.”

“Christine, I'm sure you can put into words how you're feeling or would you prefer if I broke down emotions to you the way I would with Audrey?”

She rolled her eyes and flipped me off. “You know what I mean.”

“I do, but you have to say it out loud or I will continue to pretend like I don’t. You woke me up at an ungodly hour of the morning so you better believe that we are going to have this conversation whether you want to or not”

She made a show of exhaling loudly before lying back in bed. I honestly thought she was going to ask me to forget about the entire conversation and try to leave but instead, she spoke with a voice softer than a feather.

“l can't pinpoint exactly how I feel. I feel too much and I don't like that. It's easy to deal with one thing. maybe two but this is a lot more than that. To avoid an incomplete reading experience, visit Jobn'i’'b.com.It feels like an entire box of emotions just exploded in my chest.”

“Do you want to go ahead with this?” I asked and she didn’t hesitate before nodding.

“Of course, this is all I've ever wanted. Why would you even ask me that?’
