The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

Chapter 279

CAMILLA'S POV

I glanced over at Ryker but he said nothing, his lips were pursed as he looked directly at the siren. I could almost see the wheels turning in his head and I tried to speak to him through the mind link but his wall was firmly in place. I glanced over at Christine who had tears in her eyes and worry etched on her every feature.

“I'll get us out of here,” I whispered in her head. “I promise you, I will."

“Come, Camilla,” the siren said gesturing for me to walk with her over to the window. She wasn't singing to me yet so I was still in control of my limbs but I found myself following her. The window had a direct view of the front of the palace, I didn't realize that until now and I couldn't help but muse about the impressive ice wall I had built. It was already melting and cracking but somehow remained strong and sturdy despite the people repeatedly slamming into it.

With each slam, I winced because what was one an ice wall was now getting stained with blood on all sides.

“Stop this" I told her but she ignored me. “They will hurt themselves.”

“Then pull it down,” she shrugged and I frowned. “If you don’t want them to keep hurting themselves then bring the wall down.”

“If I do that, they will kill everyone in their path.”

She sighed. “Difficult choice, isn't it”

She turned back to face the others in the room and I couldn't help but wonder how nice it would feel to push her off the balcony but there were three problems: the first being that she wasn't close to the balcony, the second being that she was a shit ton faster than I was and the third being that Audrey was still in her daughter's hold and I wasn't going to do anything to risk my child's life.

“Now that we are all here, let us play the game, shall we?” she clapped her hands in glee before grabbing my arm and pulling me down to the ground in front of her. Her claws dug into my upper arm and Ryker made a sound of protest but she ignored him and lifted one very sharp claw to my throat. “You have to make a choice, Ryker."

“What kind of choice?” he snarled. “What do you hope to achieve by this?"

“Clarity, I guess, or maybe, I just want to have fun,” her claw dug deeper into my neck and the metallic smell of blood hit me in the nose. “You can save one of three people- your mate, your child and your friend's mate.”
