RYKER’S P.O.V

“That’s impossible,” Caius said after we had told him everything that happened.

It was almost impossible to get Audrey back to sleep. We had conceded to having her sleep in our bed and the moment she was out, Camilla and I went in search of Caius. We tried to convince Audrey that whatever she saw was a

to us and it was more terrifying tha, Shtmare but she was

that it was not. She explained it

what her five year old brain should have been able to cook up. There was only one other explanation- it was a vision- but Caius didn’t seem to agree.

“She is a wolf, not a witch and wolves don’t have visions,” he explained. “It also cannot be her powers because she is five and not twenty one.”

“Well what do you expect that we tell our daughter?” Camilla asked with her hands crossed over her chest. “She was genuinely worried. There has to be some truth in what she said. She would not make up something like that.”

“Children lie,” he offered but I shook my head.

“Not Audrey, she has everything she could ever want, there is no reason for her to lie.”

I was glad that I had spoken before Camilla because hse looked ready to blow a fuse. Her hair was in a tangled mess around her head from the number of times she had ran her fingers through it. She looked as frustrated as I felt and I wanted to reach out to console her but I didn’t even know where to start. She turned to me in exasperation as if pleading for me to say something but the truth was that I didn’t know what to say, I didn’t even know where to begn.

“What would you suggest that we do then?” Caius asked looking confused. “We cannot tell anyone about this because it will only bring more questions than answers and the way I see it, neither of us has any answers. All we can do is just sit and watch things unfold.”

“She is terrified!” Camilla exclaimed. “Do you expect that we just leave her?”

“We don’t have a lot of options right now your majesty,” Caius’ voice was soft and almost patronizing.

I reached out for my mate and placed one hand on her waist and the other on her shoulder. She immediately relaxed into my hold and I rested her head against my shoulder. Caius’ eyes met mine and I gave him a simple nod of dismissal. There was nothing left to be done or said, he had done his best and for that I was grateful. He bowed before walking away and once he was gone, Camilla groaned in frustration.

I could feel the effects of that sound in my bones, I felt the same way but in times like this, one of us had to remain strong. There were times where she held things together for both of us, the least I could do was extend the same courtesy to her. We stood there for a few minutes, just standing in the silence and feeling each other. No words were spoken but nothing needed to be said that hadn’t already been through our actions.

After a long silence, Camilla sighed and turned to face me. “We should better check on Audrey. We have to make sure that she is okay.”

I immediately agreed and we were on our way towards the room. I opened the door and the first thing I realized was that Audrey wasn’t on the bed. Panic seized my insides until I realized that she was sitting by the window.copy right hot novel pub
