The Rejected Werewolf Princess by Didiadeyemi

Chapter 51

Chapter 51

I didn’t see Ryker again after that. It has been two days and I had started to wonder when next I would come across him. I tried my best to hide my curiosity about him but my family knew me way too much and Christine ended up telling me that he was staying in the palace guest house.

It felt weird knowing that he was close by and all it would take would just be a few minutes journey and I would see him. I finally understand what people mean when they say out of sight is out of mind because I never worried about Ryker this much until I was faced with the prospect that he was merely a few feet away from me.

There has also been the issue of the dress and I have been exceptionally worried and disturbed about it. For the life of me, I cannot think of anything to wear and although the designers have been showing me different sketches, nothing seems to stand out so much. The entire prospect is frustrating and I know I have to give them an answer by tomorrow.

The only good thing in my life so far is Audrey. She somehow manages to help me forget about whatever is plaguing me and keeps me in the moment. Currently, she is lying against my lap while I read her a story. I looked down only to see that she had drifted off to sleep and I smiled softly.

There was a knock on my room door and Christine poked her head in. she gestured for me to step out and I had to quietly life Audrey from me. She is a heavy sleeper but sometimes, especially if she falls asleep on you; one wrong move can wake her and she is going to be cranky as hell.

Once I managed to lay her gently against the pillows, I slowly exited the room and closed the door behind me quietly while I faced Christine. She was wearing a simple blue dress that matched the bright sky and she pulled me down the hallway before she started to speak.

“The Queen sent me to ask if you are done with the preparations,”

I raised a brow, “Why can’t she ask herself?”

“Something along the lines of not wanting to feel like she was pressuring you and not wanting it to turn into an argument. with you,” she shrugged and I rolled my eyes, “So, have you?”

I shook my head, “I’m still stuck on the dress, I don’t know what to do, I don’t what color to use. I don’t know what design to use and I am just confused.”

A look crossed her face as if she wanted to say something but she quickly hid it and her expression went back to neutral.

“You have to get back to the designers soon,” she said simply, “They need to start working on your dress and it seems the Alphas are arriving early because another one crossed our borders today.”

“I didn’t know about that.”,

“It just happened a few minutes ago,” she shrugged, “I think people are just excited to see the long lost princess.”

“The lost princess who doesn’t even have a dress.” That same look crossed her face but she still didn’t say anything so I turned to look at her, “Say whatever is on your mind.”

“It’s nothing,” she said but I could tell that she was lying.

I crossed

my

arms over my chest and stared at her. We are around the same height so there was no looking up or down, she just avoided my eyes. Her entire body language read defensive and I wondered what she was so desperately trying to hide. She tried to side step me to avoid my gaze but I refused to let her and I forced her to look at me.

“What is it?” I asked and she hesitated before speaking.

“Let me choose your dress.” I was so shocked by her words that I stood immobile for a few seconds. She must have taken it as ano because she rolled her eyes, “This is why I didn’t ask.”
