Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

#Chapter 15 Who are you

Doris turned to see Daemon across the empty hall from her with his hands shoved deep in his pockets. He looked even more wicked in the light but she supposed all of Eldon looked that way. At least he had a bit of kindness in his gaze to round it out. “ Doris, isn’t it?”

Doris glanced around to make sure no one was around them, especially not William. This man was brave to seek her out when he was near. Hadn't he heard of William’s reputation?

She had just finally gotten her baby back to sleep when he arrived. She moved Alec’s face against her shoulder and eyed the mysterious stranger.

“And who are you?” Doris asked.

“I should have known that you were more special than just a servant. It was foolish of me to think for a moment.” The side of his lips pulled up. “It made much more sense when I saw you at the king’s side. A girl like you would move kingdoms, just as I thought.”

Doris wasn’t sure where this man’s confidence in her came from, she had only just met him and it was all misplaced. She was a white wolf with no power yet. Better to let him believe she was everything he thought than useless.

“I asked who you are. A normal messenger boy doesn’t attend private royal dinners with royalty.” Doris raised her chin.

Daemon scratched the back of his head. “Ah, I suppose you could call me their advisor. They don’t trust many people to do this sort of work in Eldon, so I’m here to do all of the jobs.”

“All of the jobs?” Doris raised her brows. “Then you must know why those rulers are truly here?”
