Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

Chapter 117

Chapter 117 I’m glad you came.

The next morning, Doris woke with a headache sharp enough to kill. William was still out next to her with his arm draped lazily across her body. She gently moved his arm just enough for her to slip out of his hold. “Finally, you’re awake.” A voice said inside her. Doris flinched at the sound.

“Cordelia?” Doris said hesitantly inside her mind. She glanced over to look at William still sleeping soundly. “Who else?” Cordelia grumbled. “Did you miss me?” “I thought you were gone—I didn’t feel you at all.” Doris got up to pace around the fire that had long gone out. She looked around for something to light it again but couldn’t find anything.

Cordelia laughed inside her as if it was all one big joke. Doris felt the sudden urge to strangle her with relief. “They wish they could have silenced me forever. I’m still here.”

“Where did you…go?” Doris asked.

“I was asleep. All I saw was darkness and suddenly I woke up and you were here with our mate.” Cordelia made a sound of approval. “I knew you would come around. Don’t think I missed your pleasurable night—”

“This isn’t the time for that,” Doris said quickly, her face flushed. “When William wakes up, we have to go help Enzo before it’s too late. I hope he’s doing okay out there, wherever he is.”

“Don’t I deserve some sort of day off?” Cordelia whined. Doris wanted to slap her and hug her at the same time. “I saw how tough Enzo is, he can handle himself. His wolf is almost stronger than William’s and much stronger than all of the other rogues we’ve met.”

“What are you doing?” William asked. Doris stopped her pacing and turned to find him wide awake with watchful eyes.

“My wolf-she’s awake.” Doris pointed to her head. William rolled his eyes. “Oh she is? Wonderful. I assume you’re ready for battle then?” William said as he pushed himself up to stand. “Care to explain what even happened to me?” Cordelia asked almost lazily as if she didn’t really care.

“We were drugged. It mostly was to put you out for a few days so I couldn’t defend myself.” Doris said silently. William raised his brows.
