The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

CAMILLA'S POV

As if on cue, everything stopped and the darkness dissipated. It seemed to retreat back into Ryker's skin and I watched the entire thing unfold. The moment the air was clear, I slowly looked up and relief filled me when I saw that his eyes were back to normal. I threw my arms around his neck and he wasted no time in pulling me impossibly closer and burying his nose into my hair.

“I am so sorry,” he whispered but I could barely focus on his words. I was just glad to have him. I was glad that he was alive. “I almost killed you."

“It doesn’t matter. I'm here now, and so are you."

I pulled back from him and finally took in the scene in front of me. There were so many bodies and I could tell just by looking that although the woman and the child were unconscious, the male was dead. Blood was pouring out of his nose and ears and his chest was still. I gauged Ryker’s face for any kind of reaction but it was carefully still.

“I'l mind link the guards to meet us here,” he said finally before turning to me. “Are you-" he swallowed. “Did I hurt you?"

“No,” I told him earnestly. I wasn't lying, he hadn't gotten the chance to hurt me yet. I reached out for him and gently stroked my hand down his face. He let me for a second, his eyes closed as he leaned into my touch. “We are fine, you did it, you beat them and that is the most important thing.”

“I would have killed them,” he announced as he opened his eyes. He glanced over at the woman and child that were still unconscious. “I was going to do it. I wasn't out of control of the magic. It was me, I knew exactly what I was going to do.”

“But you didn't do it” Many sentences in this chapter have been removed because you are not reading them on J o b nib.c(o)m.'That doesn't mean that I still don't want to," he ran his hands through his hair. “I saw Juan and Christine. I saw Audrey. How did I not see the witches? It doesn’t make sense.”
