Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

Chapter 76 I think we‘re lost.

choice but to hand the crown over.” William said simply and moved to get a new shirt. “I plan on uniting the kingdom with the rogues. Even Prince Martin isn’t foolish enough to stand in my way. And if he is, I can’t say I will feel sorry for whatever happens to him.” Doris swallowed. “What do you mean by that? He’s your brother.” William slipped off his ruined shirt and casually pulled on the new one. He looked over at her with a sort of lopsided smirk that screamed sinister intentions. “It’s politics, Doris. My brother and I have never seen each other as family. It’s always been a competition for the crown even when I was in the darkness and he didn’t suspect me.” “Are you saying you would… harm your own brother for the crown?” “Don’t sound so shocked. You’ve worked at the palace long enough to know how it goes. Luna Queen tried to have you blamed for a poisoning just to pin it all on me. It’s all a game.” William buttoned up his shirt and ran his fingers through his messy hair as he turned to her. “We’ll make history. Doris.” “We? I think you’re mistaken.” Doris took a small step back. William furrowed his brows as he if didn’t understand her words. Did he expect her to jump on him with joy? “I don’t want to help over throw Prince Martin.” His eyes darkened, it felt as the room dimmed with his mood as he took a step closer to her. She mirrored his steps with one back. “You’re in love with him, aren’t you?” “What? Of course not! I don’t want him to die or be forcefully overthrown.” Doris clenched her hands into fists. “Forgive me, but I’m not interested in politics. Especially when it hurts others.” “His plan to rule will match my father and whatever Luna Queen wants. I wouldn’t let that happen.” “He’s still your brother,”  Don’t you want a better life for yourself?” William shouted. Doris flinched at his voice. “Yes, and I’ve been working towards that every day since I came to the palace. A better life is freedom.” William opened his mouth to respond, and froze. She could see the realization behind his eyes as he took in her words and considered all the things she meant by them. It was the simple truth. She didn’t want to be held down by him and his politics. She wanted her freedom and she didn’t care if her inner wolf insisted he was her mate-she wanted her freedom. No man could tempt her enough to make her change her mind. No matter how handsome, no matter how much control he had over an entire kingdom. “Right.” William snarled and grabbed his jacket from the dresser, knocking over a glass pitcher in the process. He stared at her as if he didn’t care that he brought glass shattering to the floor beneath them. His boots cracked over each shard as he stepped closer. “I don’t need a pathetic maid to be at my side anyway.” 1 She watched him leave with tears burning the back of her eyes. They threatened to escape and name her as weak as she felt in that moment-but she did her best to hold them in while he slammed the door closed. Did he expect her to fall at his feet as all the women he’s had before had? Did he expect her to be another… pet for him to play with until he decided he was bored and sought out a new one? She was no one’s property. She was a person. He may think he owned her, but she had spent every day for the past five years trying to work against that. He would not unravel it for her now. She refused to stand at his side as something for him to toy with. He hadn’t mentioned Melody once this entire trip, as if she didn’t matter to him in the slightest. She would not be next on his list of conquests.cz Doris felt a strange pain in her heart. She rubbed her chest and winced at the strange feeling. It felt as if he wounded her with her words, as if her heart was close

around to make sure she was alone. She quickly realized she was not only alone, but lost. She couldn’t see a foot in front of
