The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

CAMILLA'S POV

Aurora and I waited in Ryker’s office while he spoke to Audrey in the bathroom. She hadn't wanted anyone else there to interrupt. For Aurora, it was easier, she just sat on the floor playing with a doll and was content simply to be in her father's office but I was scared and panicked for my child.

They spent fifteen minutes in there before they both walked out and neither of their faces betrayed anything. Audrey just walked over to where her sister was playing and joined her to play with her dolls while Ryker walked over to me. He wrapped his hand around my waist and pressed a soft kiss to the side of my head. It should have calmed me down a little but I was worried and panicking already.

“Relax,” he whispered against my skin. “I can feel your emotions running all over the place and I am sure that she can too.”

“She doesn't have a wolf yet, she can't,” I quipped back and he rolled his eyes payfully. “Camilla, this is more than that and you know it. If she already has control of her powers this much, she can definitely read emotions and right now, you are staring at her like you are scared that someone is going to grab her and run away, or worse, she is not your child.”

“I know she’s my child,” I mumbled but I knew he was right and forced myself to look away from her. After that, I switched to our mind link. “Tell me what happened.”

He hesitated before speaking and that had me worrying. My spine straightened and I dragged him over to the couches. He avoided my eyes the entire time and I knew immediately that whatever this was, he was serious, he was just trying to blow it off. I crossed my arms over my chest and waited for him to speak but he never did.

“Ryker,” I probed and he sighed.

“Don’t worry about it, I have it handled.”

I was shocked that he would even suggest that. “This is our child that you are talking about. What do you mean by I should just leave it to you? Why would you even suggest that? I have a right to know."

“I know that, Camilla, but she came to me and I don’t want to scare her from coming back next time.”

We were having this entire conversation in our heads and I was getting more annoyed with each passing second. Yes, Audrey came to him, I wasn't going to deny that but we were partners and I deserved to know especially when it was about something that concerned someone else's life.

“She is a scared child and she doesn’t know who to go to. Id eserve to know, and not just me, but Christine to.”
