The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

Chapter 249

CAMILLA'S POV

None of what Ryker said made sense to me and the more I tried to make sense of it, the more it felt like my brain was being fried. I opened and closed my mouth a few times trying to make sense of what he had said but I got nothing. After a long two minutes of silence, I let out an exasperated sigh.

“What do you mean by you saw their life force?” I asked slowly, not sure if I wanted to hear the answer or not. “How does one see that? What the hell is going on?”

“I don't know,” he sounded just as confused as I was and that made me even more worried. “Something happened tc me, I don’t know what it was but I feel different. I could see her child dying and I could see the darkness that was inside Riley.”

“What darkness?”

I was having a migraine already and he hadn't even started explaining. I ran my hands through my hair trying to get semblance of sanity but it wasn’t working. Ryker dragged me over to the nearest bench and all but pulled me into it. He ran his fingers through my hair until I had calmed down considerably and it didn’t feel like I was about to go insane.

“I'm sorry,” I mumbled after a beat of silence. “This entire thing is just very overwhelming. Now can you please explain and start from the beginning,” he seemed hesitant to do that. I crossed my arms over my chest and looked a him despite the fact that he wasn’t looking at me. “Ryker, what are you hiding?”

“When we killed Reina, she did something,” he began slowly and my spine straightened. “I started having these dreams after of this darkness, it would speak to me. It felt evil, like death itself”

“That was why you asked Juan to go back there with you,” I deduced and he nodded. I tried to hide my annoyance that he hid this from me so I cleared my throat. “What else has been happening? What did you find there?’

“I found one of her dolls but it was of me. Don’t ask me how I knew, I just touched it and I did. I think she planned to die there and whatever she was working with, whatever magic she had, it came into me. I know it sounds insane but Audrey confirmed it too.”

This had my eyes widening and I shot to my feet. “Our daughter knew?”

“Please calm down,” his voice was soft and patronizing. “I didn't tell her, she told me. She said the dark magic was inside of me.”

“You didn’t think to tell me about that?” I asked and his face fell. “Why wouldn't you tell me about this? It could be dangerous for her to know. What were you thinking?”

I didn’t want to yell at him but the thought of Audrey knowing and having to hold this secret to herself was mind blowing. She was a child and she already had so much to worry about. The last thing she needed was to panic about the newfound dark magic that her father had. At least Ryker looked guilty.

“I didn’t want to tell her, Camilla, she just knew,” he whispered but that didn’t make it any better. “I'm sorry for not telling you. I wanted to but I couldn't. You were happy and for the first time, there was peace. I wanted things to go back to normal.”

I crossed my arms over my chest. “You have Reina’s magic. There is nothing normal about that. Do you remember what she did with it?”

“I remember, but I also know that Reina was a terrible person. I don’t think the magic in itself is inherently bad. I haven't felt the urge to do anything bad-"

“Yet,” I cut him off and he frowned. “Don’t look at me like that, you don’t know what is coming.”

“Can you try to trust me at least?” he sounded a little annoyed. “I pulled out whatever darkness Reina had planted inside of Riley today and I might have just saved Christine's child. This could prove to be a blessing. So far, it has been of help to us.”

“It's dark magic, Ryker,” I deadpanned.

“I don't think magic is inherently dark or good. I think it matters how the person uses it,” I snorted and this seemed to annoy him even more. “Is it the magic you don't trust or is it me?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Do you believe that I can’t handle this?”

Yes. “That's not what I said.”

“Your wall is down,” I rushed to check and sure enough, in my panic, I had forgotten to put up my wall. I opened my mouth to apologize but he held up a hand to stop me. “l would have loved to know that you at least supported me on this. When you got healing powers out of nowhere, I supported you.”

“I do support you. This is just-" I was at a loss for words. “This is just different and hard to get used to.”
