Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

#Chapter 29 Midnight madness

Doris hurried through the forest towards the noise. She could feel her power draining from her until she no longer glowed. She almost had to stop when she felt as if she was about to collapse
—what had she done? This was all her fault, she must have hurt someone close by. But how? She didn’t hear anyone close 
enough!

Doris eventually found a fallen guard with a man hovered above him. She halted when she saw who it was.

Daemon turned to her with wide eyes. “Was this... you?” He asked and gestured around them.
Doris finally turned to face the damage she had made. It was like a hole from where she stood before. Trees and bushes were blown through and one of the sticks had plunged into the man’s chest.

Panic erupted inside her. She couldn’t shift into herself when she had nothing to cover herself with. Daemon seemed to notice and took off his cloak to rest by her paws before stepping back. He turned the other way and Doris shifted instantly and wrapped his cloak around her.
“Ts he dead?” She gasped and joined Daemon at his body. Daemon quickly moved her away from the man.
“You have to get out of here. Someone is going to find him and see what you did— “
“We can’t just leave him here!” Doris wrapped her arms around herself. It didn’t look like he was moving. Did she... did she do this? Did she kill this man because she took too much power? Her entire body started to tremble. Daemon wrapped his arms around her and she barely noticed him there. All she could do is stare at what she had done.

“We can hide the body, no one will ever find him.” Daemon said against her ear. It sent shivers down her spine.
Doris pushed him away from her and looked him up and down. He looked a bit dirty as if he had fallen. His shirt was halfway buttoned and she could see the top of his chest. “What are you doing out here so late?”

Daemon scratched the back of his head and took a step back. “I woke when I heard a loud thump on my roof. I looked out my window to see you glowing and heading into the forest and I.. I couldn’t

found me out here almost every time I have shifted.” Doris said quietly. She took a step away from him. “You always take the same path.” Daemon turned and pointed towards the palace. “I see you clearly from my window every time you

question him more— she had to go for help. When she started to run to the palace, Daemon grabbed her arm to stop her. “Where are you going?” He asked. Doris shoved him away from her. “I’m going to get help! This man needs help, I can’t just leave him out here!” “This man is gone, Doris. We have to hide him or you’re going to be in trouble.” ‘It was an accident — “  “If word gets out that you’re a white wolf, you will bring more trouble than you can handle.” Daemon grabbed her shoulders so she would look at him. “You need to help me hide this body. Do you understand?” “What—no! You can’t be serious! People will be looking for him—“ “He’s not important. This palace will forget about him in a day and think he’s wandered off or ran away.” Doris furrowed her brows. “How could you say that? People will care that he’s gone. He

mean to hurt anyone... she swore that there was no one

path behind them. She saw nothing. When she turned back to Daemon, he was already gone. It hit her when he was close enough— William. He broke through the trees and his wild eyes found her instantly. “Doris—what the hell are you doing out

on the large cloak around her. He stepped towards her and looked

to observe her. It seemed that he didn’t care the body behind her as much as he cared about who she might have been with. “I—no, it’s not like that.‘ Doris shook her head and gripped onto his shirt. “I shifted into my wolf to take a run and—something terrible happened. I think I... I think I might have killed someone.” William took her trembling form in his arms, though she noticed he kept sniffing her

He said. Doris could have melted against him. “I woke up with a nightmare and Cordelia suggested we take a run. Lately she has been showing me my white wolf power and we

put it on and shifted and—I think he’s dead.” Doris whispered in horror. She didn’t mention Daemon
