Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

#Chapter 41 A fallen queen

William’s POV

Doris looked like a goddess to his eyes. She glowed and made the world bow to her. She brought down every foe with barely lifting her paw, and then extinguished every bit of fire that tried to turn the village into dust.

When she finally collapsed, William felt himself breathe. He shifted back into his human form and ran to her. He barely registered when a guard had draped a cloak around him, he took Doris into his arms and pulled her weak body against him.

The necklace shined in the moonlight and a spark of rage ignited inside him. What was this doing on her? He tried to rip it off her, but it wouldn’t budge. There was no clasp as if it was melted together. The more he pulled on it, the harder it felt. It was as if it was becoming more stubborn the more he tried to get it off her.

“Fuck.” William grumbled and let the chain go. She was still in her wolf form which concerned him. Each time she passed out, normally she would change back into herself.

William felt more presence around him. He glanced up to see the villagers crowding around their king as well as his own guards. They looked down at Doris as if she was already their queen and he could only pull her tighter against him. “Will she be okay?” One of the villagers asked. Enzo came to stand near them, he also had a cloak on from one of the guards and he watched the crowd with interest.

“She will be.” William said simply. He moved to gather her in his arms. “I need to get her back to the palace.”
