The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

RYKER'S POV

When Camilla was done speaking, I was numb. I wasn't sure how to process everything that she had just said. It felt like a fever dream that I couldn't help but want to wake up from but a part of me knew she was telling the truth. There was nothing she would gain from lying to me- especially not about this- and from the look on her face, she wa equally as worried and unnerved about this.

“Say something,” she whispered after a beat of silence. “I can't handle you going quiet on me right now. What do we do?”

“We do nothing,” I said simply and her brows furrowed in confusion.

“What do you mean by nothing? Didnt you hear a word I just said?”

“I did,” I stood to my feet and cleared my throat. “This is my problem and I will fix it. You don’t have to worry about a thing”

My body was moving on autopilot as I kissed her forehead. I headed straight for the door but she was faster and blocked the exit. She had her hands crossed over her chest and she looked annoyed. I tried to side step her but she wasn't letting me off the hook that easily.

“Camilla-" I began but she held up a hand to cut me off.

“You are such a hypocrite sometimes, do you know that?” she asked and I was shocked by her choice of words. I wasn't sure if it was the anger or something else but I forced myself to stay silent and let her finish. “If the tables were turned, would you allow me make it my problem and let me walk away?”

“That has nothing to do with this. This is my problem and you know that.”

“My powers were my problem but you made it yours. When I lost my memory, it was my problem as well but you made it yours. Why won't you let me make this mine as well? I can help you. I want to help you and be there for you! “I don't want you to get hurt,” I admitted finally. That was the one thing that had been bothering me since she spoke “What if we realize that deep down, I am just like Reina? What if the merging happens and I become a cruel person? What happens then? You could get hurt. Reina burned down her entire coven. I don’t want to do that to you.”

“You won't,” she sounded do sure. “I know you, Ryker Caine and I know who you are on the inside. You are a good man and you would rather die than hurt us.”

“I haven't always been a good man,” I said softly but she still didn’t budge.
