Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

#Chapter 12 A mysterious man

Doris took another step back. Her heart picked up in her chest and she suddenly felt her fight or flight come forward in her mind. “I don’t know what you’re talking about —“

Daemon lifted his hands in peace. “No, no. You got me all wrong, I don’t mean any harm.” He took a few steps back to give her space.

Doris felt her face flush. “Did you follow me here? Is that why you’re out here.”

“T may have followed your path to see what you would do, but I only just caught up to you.” Daemon scratched

“T should be, but I ran into a pretty girl and now I want to talk to her.” Daemon grinned.

“I’m flattered, but I’m spoken for. Even if I wasn’t, I’m not sure I would go fora mysterious boy that followed me
