Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

Chapter 98 I hope we cross paths again in the future.

of the guards start to round up every man they came across, we have to go before they get here.” William glanced at Doris and she tried not to feel shame at what they did. Instead of getting out of here, they wasted precious time on themselves. Doris quickly helped Patrick shove everything into bags before she pulled on her shoes. They had all the time in the world to be selfish, why did they have to start now? “Is our carriage even still here?” Doris asked. “No, the driver took it back. We were supposed to write for it if we needed it.” “We‘re going to have to steal some of their horses before they take them all.” William said as he pulled on his coat. He gripped Doris’s arm and hurried out of the door with their bags in his other hand. “We can’t leave a trace of us behind. If they find out I was here, they’ll know exactly what I found out and report it back to Luna Queen. We have to stay one step ahead of her.” Doris was practically running to keep up with the men. One step with their long legs was three of her own. William looked down every hallway before they turned. Once or twice they had to wait for it to empty before they hurried to the stables. “How did you know where they were?” Doris asked in a breath. Her shoes lightly clicked against the stone floors and she cursed them for making any sort of sound. “I unloaded a lot of their drugs and pills out here. There should be at least two on the outside that some idiots left earlier.” He whispered. She gripped his arm as they crouched to hide along the walls. He led them across the grounds and kept his eyes sharp on the guards that walked lazily around the fences. “How will we get out of this one, cousin?” Patrick hissed. William glared at him. “Since no one talked much where I worked, I watched the grounds. The guards never patrol all the areas at once. We’ll wait for the back to be cleared and lead the horses out quietly before we get on them.” Patrick nodded once and followed William’s lead. They crouched near a tall bush and watched as the guards pace the same area back and forth for about twenty minutes. She felt her legs start to give out until William gripped her without even looking at   her. As if he could sense her own pain. Ten more minutes passed and finally both guards nodded to each other and went around the building towards the front. The second they were out of sight, William pulled her up and hurried towards the horses. Just as William said, there were two brown ones tethered to the fence as if they were waiting for their owners to put them away. Doris frowned, it was the middle of the night. She doubted anyone was coming for them but it was better for them that they didn’t. William and Patrick quickly undid their ropes and led them out of the back gates and into the woods beyond. She almost fainted when the metal squeaked loud enough to wake the dead as she closed it. She hurried behind William and allowed him to lift her onto the horse the second they were far enough away from the place. “That was all an awful idea, we should have never went.” Patrick spat at the ground. He pulled himself up on his own horse just as William did the same to hers. She wrapped her arms around his

our mix and I don’t have time to sniff him or her out yet. Some of our own pack from Life Pharmacy is coming here to ambush us for allowing the royals to stay here—“  “What?!” Several people shouted. William appeared at her side and she suddenly felt a little less nervous when he was next to her. As crazy as that sounded. “I’m giving you all the option to leave and save yourselves, but I would appreciate if you stayed by my side while I try to sort this out.” “Sort this out? How many are coming?” Someone asked near the front. Panic was loud in their tones. “I’m not sure, it could be dozens or hundreds. I can’t guarantee this won’t tum messy but I don’t want a war to start in my own pack over this, I swear to try and sort this out before it turns into one..” “What are you going to do? Give them up?” Someone else asked him. William tensed at her side, she gripped his arm. “No. That’s not what we stand for. We stand for freedom and choices, not for torture and games. They’re chasing old shadows and I won’t have any part of it. I won’t let them take good people just to torture them.” Doris glanced through the crowd and saw more of William’s guards surround where they stood. They inched themselves closer and closer to the prince as if they were afraid he would be taken right then and there. “They’re coming for a fight, how do we stop this?” “We’ll be ready for them. I’ll wait here all night if I have to and I will get them to talk.” His eyes flickered to William. “If you would prefer to leave before this gets out of hand, I wouldn’t blame you. This is
