Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

#Chapter 14 So these are the rulers

The next morning, William woke Doris with a gentle nudge. She opened her eyes slowly to see him looming over her already dressed in his kingly attire. He looked as if he just walked out of her dream of princes.

“T need you to get dressed.” He said. Doris groaned and closed her eyes. Sleep was the only thing she wanted— nothing in the world sounded better than sleep. Her body even begged her for it.

“What is it?” She whispered. Slowly, she opened her eye just to peak at him and he was already crossing the room to dress Alec. Her mind wanted to scream at the defeat—she knew she had to get up.

“The rulers of Eldon are almost here. They requested to meet you along with me since you are my one and only lady.” He said over his shoulder as he lifted Alec from his crib.

Doris sat up to watch him. It always made her stomach flutter when he did fatherly things. It made her want to bring him back to the bed and make another baby immediately just so could watch him be like that all the time.

Now she understood why some wolves had so many children.

“T better be your one and only.” Doris teased as she forced herself out of bed. She caught the small smirk that
pulled on his lips at her words. She loved it when he smiled—especially when she was the cause of it.

It didn’t take long before they all were making their way down the wide halls. Doris opted for a mauve gown that flowed to the floor. She may not have been a queen yet, but William constantly reminded her that she should always dress like one in case someone wanted to underestimate her.
