The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi novel Chapter 113

Chapter 113
CAMILLA’S PO.V
I couldn’t even focus on getting rid of Alastair with everything I had just heard. I had known that Alastair was old but I never expected to find out that he was the first vampire. I couldn’t help but wonder if my mother knew and that was why she told me his story. I felt bad for him, it couldn’t have been easy living for so long without the person you loved and having no way to get to them except death. It would have built up anger and resentment then on top of that, my father had decided that it would be a good idea to double cross him. I couldn’t blame him for his actions but it still didn’t justify the innocent lives that he was claiming.
“How do we proceed from here?” Ryker asked and I looked up at him in astonishment to which he laughed. “You are the Queen, Camilla, what do you suggest that we do?”
“We need to find night lock first,” I said in an unsure tone and he nodded as if to encourage me to go on. “Then inform the people that fire works well against them. Let them always have lit fires in their houses and if they need to go out then they should use torches.”
“Good, now you’re thinking like a Queen,” he stood to his feet. “I will speak to Caius and the other elders. They will inform the people. You can get a head start on the night lock. If it is something that important, it will either be in one of his books or in the secret library. I’ve gone through all of mine and that is the only mention of night lock there.”
“I have one more book, I’ll be done with it in a little over an hour. I’ll let you know if I find anything.”
I watched as he walked away and I let out a deep sigh. Why couldn’t people just be black and white or good and evil? It would have been much easier to deal with Alastair if he was just a power hungry vampire who hated werewolves. He didn’t need a sad back story that tugged at my heart strings. He didn’t need the sad life that had me wanting to feel bad for him. This was the reason why I doubted I deserved to be Queen because I almost always felt bad for the wrong people. From his back story, he seemed like a genuine guy. He just wanted to be with the woman he loved, he just wanted to be happy and all that was ripped away from him. He wasn’t the real villain, it was the witch packs that pursued them.
I knew thinking about it wouldn’t change anything so I forced all those thoughts out of my head and focused on the book in front of me. I skimmed through the pages as quickly as I could looking for two simple words ‘night lock. I prayed to the goddess that he wrote about it in his journal because going to the library would have been another battle entirely. I wouldn’t know where to start there since the books weren’t labeled by topic, just by their year of publication. I was getting to the end of the book and I had started to lose hope when I found it.

It was two lines, it would have been easy to miss and you probably wouldn’t have thought much about it unless you were looking at it. He had said: I never thought something so small would be so hard to find. It looks like a tiny blueberry. They only grow at the top of the snow capped Northern mountains. It is such a rare plant that very little is even there but it had to be enough. Alastair can never know about it or he will destroy it.
Joy bubbled up in my chest and I practically squealed. I tried to mind linke Ryker but I couldn’t get to him so I left the book and rushed to find him. He was still talking to the elders when I found him in one of the hallways. As soon as he saw me, he ended his discussion and rushed over to my side. There was hope in his eyes.
“Did you find it?” I nodded. “F uck, you are amazing. Tell me about it.”
“It
grows at the top of the Northern mountain. It says they look like blueberries,” I explained everything to him and he listened intently to each word. “We have to send guards to get it. If we leave, it is at least a four day journey. We cannot afford to be gone for that long. Alastair will notice and he will either come after us or the people while we are gone.”
“You’re right,” he thought about it for a second. “I know exactly who to send. Come with me.”
I followed him and he led me outside to where the guards were training. I felt ashamed that I still didn’t know any of them except Steven and Kevin by name. Speaking of both of them, they were on the field training a small squadron of soldiers. Once we approached them, they stopped everything that they were doing and bowed.
“Come with us,” Ryker instructed both of them and they glanced at each other with worried looks before nodding and following us to a corner of the training field where no one would hear us. “There is an important task that requires the utmost discretion while performing. I want to entrust it to you, can you do it?”
“Of course, your majesty,” they responded immediately then Steven continued. “Whatever it is, we will do it.”
“I need you to take a small team of guards, ones you trust and who can face the Northern Mountains and any potential vampires you will find on the way,” I began slowly. “There is a plant that grows at the top of the mountain. I need you to get as much of it as you an but leave enough that it can keep growing in case someone else
needs it.”
“When do you want us to leave?” Kevin asked and I glanced over at Ryker who responded.
“As soon as possible, I want you at first light tomorrow. Can you do that?”

They glanced at each other and I could see worry in their eyes but they nodded. “We will not let you down your majesty.”
They were about to leave but I stopped them. “I trust you both. My mother trusted you both. If you can succeed, you will single handedly bring an end to everything that is happening right now. Do not fail us. There are lives that are depending on your
success.
That might have been a lot of pressure to place on their shoulders but they needed to know exactly what they were dealing with. This was the last piece of the puzzle and if we could get it then we would win. That would be everything. I could almost smell the victory. It finally felt within reach and I couldn’t just let it go.
Once they had left, I turned to Ryker. “I need to return to my office. I will come to you later.”
He placed a k*ss on my head and allowed me slink away from him. I walked with a bounce in my step and a small smile on my face. I was so excited and happy that I didn’t even notice that the door to my office was open until I got closer. I stared at it in confusion knowing perfectly well that I had closed it before I left. I pulled it open to find Alara standing by the door as if she was about to leave. She jumped as soon as she noticed me.
“Can I help you?” I asked slowly as I tried to do a quick sweep with my eyes to make sure that everything was in place.
“I was looking for you, your majesty,” she explained. “One of the maids gave me some e of the maids gave me some new pairs of shoes and I just wanted to thank you. They fit perfectly and they are so beautiful.”
She raised the hem of the dress for me to see the
th and I couldn’t help but smile
softly at her. I ment ally berated myself for thinking the worst about her when she was
just coming to thank me. I had been on edge eve?a?
worst about her when she was since I heard that my father was the
reason for our problems. It hit me that it could have been the reason that the moon goddess said I would have to forgive him. She knew I would find out what a horrible person he was.
“Your majesty,” Alara called once more snapping me out of my thoughts. “Are you alright? Should I get you something?”
“I am fine, I was just thinking,” I offered her a smile. “You are more than welcome about the shoes. I wasn’t the one who sent for them, maybe you should ask Ryker, he might have been responsible.”
She nodded and I took a good look at her dress. I realized that the waist was cinched tight and the bust area seemed to almost be suffocating her. Her breasts were almost spilling out of it. I couldn’t believe that the maids had gotten her ill fitting clothes. I had
