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?

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.
