Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

Chapter 52

Chapter 52 You’re safe here, Doris.

When Doris didn’t object, Enzo dragged the chair a bit closer so he wouldn’t be so far away. Still, he made sure to keep a respectable distance between them. “I know you’ve probably heard some horror stories about our pack—and had to live through one unspeakable experience but I hope I can help you understand us a little more.” Enzo leaned forward and rested his elbows on his knees. After what she went through, she didn’t think it would be possible for her to see them in any other light no matter how nice he was to her. “Years ago, our pack was able to break away from Royal House Arnold and their corruptive ruling. We made a life for ourselves out here—”. “Excuse me,” Doris interrupted. “Did you say Royal House Arnold has a corruptive ruling? What do you mean by that?”

Enzo looked at her with furrowed brows.

We couldn’t have the kingdom coming to rip apart what we made here. They tried when they heard we wouldn’t listen to their ruling any longer.
