The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

Chapter 162
CAMILLA'S P.O.V
I didn’t go out to see the people, it was a fool's mission. I figured the best thing to
do was to ignore them and they would leave but by the next morning, they were
still there. According to the I from the guards, the line had increased
reports HEF considerably and a few of them had slept there overnight. It was
insane to say the least and it didn’t matter how many people came out to tell
them that I couldn't heal them, no one wanted to listen to it.
If I was being honest, I didn’t blame them, they
were terrified and this was the only slither of hope that they had. It was cruel to
rip it away from them but it was a from them but it was a
necessary evil. They were too disruptive and they were causing a lot of concerns
around the palace. Even the elders were worried, that much was obvious the
moment they called Ryker and I for another emergency meeting.
“You have to find a way to get rid of them,” one of them said. He tried to hide it
but he was tapping his feet anxiously and wringing his fingers. “They cannot be
allowed to stand there for so long. If they stay, they will overpower us.”
“What do you suggest I do?” I asked folding my hands in my lap. “I cannot just
throw them away. I am one woman, and I don’t have the capabilities to heal
them.”
“Don’t you?" he asked and I raised a brow.
“Is there something that you are insinuating?”
“How did the man get healed so quickly? We know you could heal people from
the time of the vampires. You have been suspiciously quiet about your abilities
since then. You know how to heal them, why don't you just do as they ask and
get it over with?”
I stretched out my hand to him. “If you want to take the blood right out of my
veins then go ahead but I hate to tell you that it will do you no good. My powers
died with the vampire king. They were given to me specifically to outsmart and
thwart him. The moment he died, there was no use for it anymore.”
It was a huge bluff but one that I was willing to take. Under the table, I felt Ryker
slide his hand over my thigh. It was a simple gesture but one that meant the
world to me. I kept my eyes fixed on the elder almost taunting him to say
something. He was quiet for a full minute before sighing.
“We need to find something else then, something to make them believe that they
are healed. Perception can be a far greater tool than reality,” he offered. “If you

could just pretend to heal them, if you could bless them then maybe they will
leave.”

“And then what?” asked. “What happens when they return to their homes and
they are not healed? What happens when they realize that it was nothing but a
sham? They will turn on,
and I will be the brunt of their anger. Angry people make for terrible subjects and I
will not be the center of a mob's rage. Feel free to do it if you want.”
He frowned. “You are the one they want.” The other elders began to whisper in
agreement. “You need to do something to appease them.”

“I am not a prized cow meant to be milked at the desire of the public,” I shot back
and everyone fell silent. “I will not be pulled around like a puppet on a string. Your
job as elders is to keep the peace, so do it and do not bother me until it is done. If
there is anyone with a legitimate condition that seems out of the ordinary, bring
them to the physician and he will heal them to the best of his abilities, if it is not
then send them away. I do not care how it is handled, only that it is handled. Am I
clear?”
No one dared to speak, there were sca ttered nods all around the room and I
turned to see Ryker looking down at me with a proud and amused expression on
his face. Once I was sure that they understood, I stood to my feet and Ryker
followed suit. We walked out without another word and it wasn't until we were
safely out of the council room that I let out the breath I was holding.
Ryker was leaning against the wall with a small smirk playing on his lips and I
couldn’t stop myself from laughing out loud. He followed suit soon after and we
stood there like children giggling in the hallway of the palace. The sounds of our
laughter echoed off the walls with no one to share in it but us.
“You definitely put them in their place,” he mused after he had calmed down. “I
guess they won't be coming to you for advice anytime soon.”
I rolled my eyes. “I just want the people to go back home. We worked so hard to
keep this under wraps, the last thing we want to do now is risk anyone finding out
that I still have them.”
“That wouldn't be a problem if you hadn't healed the man like I suggested,” I
didn’t bother responding because I knew his words held no bite. “It doesn’t matter
now anyway, this is what we have been dealt with and we have to make the best
of it. Let us hope the elders are able to send the crowd away. I don't want to have
to explain to Audrey why she cannot go to school tomorrow as well.”

I grimaced as I thought about how sad she was when she got the news today. I
couldn't risk her safety by sending her out in a carriage with the others. There
was no telling what an angry mob would do to a child and I didn’t want to risk it.
“Everything will be fine,” I mumbled more to myself than him. I hoped that by
saying it, I would believe it. “We have a lot of work to do today, will you walk with
me?”
It took over four hours but the elders were finally able to clear the crowd. I didn’t
know what they said to them and I didn’t ask because some things were better
off left unsaid. I was just relieved when I looked out the window and there was no
longer a long line of people waiting for me. It turned out that most of them were
just paranoid, they weren't actually sick or dying- just terrified.
Once I was sure that the people were okay, I sent out some spies to keep an eye
out for the man that I had healed. I wanted to be updated on his whereabouts,
what he did and who he spoke to daily. From the feedback I got, he spent most of
his time- indoors with his family. A few people had tried to visit him but he hadn't
come out all day. I wasn't sure if that was a good or a bad thing.
1 tried not to focus on it too much but it was hard. I wanted to know how it was
possible for news to spread that quickly and why he spread it despite me asking
him not to. I was so lost in my own thoughts that I went through the night time.
motions on autopilot. I didn’t even realize when I had finished dinner or taken
both daughters to their rooms. It wasn’t until Ryker put his hands on my
shoulders and steered me to a stop that I realized what I was doing.
“I think you need to relax,” he muttered and before I could ask, he started pulling
me forward. “Come with me.”

She said and I scoffed. “What is the big deal, Camilla? It isn’t
hurting anyone. No one is here. Why won't you do it?” I shrugged. “Even you
don't have a good excuse, I'll race you.”
“You're faster.”
“You're smaller, you can weave through shortcuts.”
I debated it for a second before sighing. “What do I get if I win?”
“Anything you want,” I raised a brow but he quickly cut in. “If I win, I also get
anything I want. Do we have a deal?”
It was a fool's errand but I was feeling highly competitive so I nodded. “Deal.”

Ryker’s large black wolf sauntered over to me and he nuzzled my fur with his
nose. I let out a small whine and sat as he licked my fur affectionately.
“Are you ready?” he asked down the bond but I didn’t respond. I waited for the
right moment before pushing him onto his back and taking off. I felt him laugh.
“Game on, Camilla.”
