Chapter 141

CAMILLA’S P.O.V

There was a palpable relief that could be felt by everyone once Alara was in the cells. For the next three days, there was nothing but peace and calmness. The pandemonium in the towns had been dispelled because everyone was sent copies of her transcripts. The people knew what she had done and they knew that Ryker was innocent. The truth was, I wasn’t as bothered by her alliance to the vampires as I should have been. Thinking back on it, it made a lot of sense. She was always sneaking around and in places where she shouldn’t be.

I couldn’t believe I didn’t piece it together sooner. She must have been the one who told the people about what happened at the waterfall with Alastair. I was relieved to know that she had been caught but I was more relieved that Ryker was vindicated. I saw how the weight of the accusation was crushing him and I couldn’t stand it. He was always helping me and I felt relieved that I was able to play a small part in helping him.

There was a visible spring in his step over the past two days. He seemed lighter and he spent more time with the girls. It was great seeing him happy and I couldn’t help but share in his joy, that was why I didn’t tell him about my plans this morning. When I woke up, I simply told him that training might run a bit late. Alara’s execution was set for evening but I wanted the chance to speak to her before then. There was a lot I still didn’t understand.copy right hot novel pub
