Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

Chapter 149 Taking out the trash

Melody took a step back when she heard William’s voice. Quickly, she regained her composure. “That’s right, Doris. You heard him.” She lifted her chin and smirked. Doris almost had the nerve to be embarrassed for the girl.

“I wasn’t talking to her, I was talking to you.” William moved to step in front of Doris. Melody backed away a bit more, she even started to look nervous at the scene before her. She expected a night of love, not this.

“William, I don’t understand-“ Melody reached for her robe and quickly put it on. William didn’t even lower his eyes to her body and Doris hated to admit how good that made her feel. Perhaps Beth was right, maybe he wouldn’t desire another now that they found each other.” This maid just insulted me—“

“She can insult you all she wants. I invited you to come here to tell you that I no longer wish for you to be my lady.” William said calmly. Doris glanced over his shoulder to see Melody’s face collapse at his words.

“What? But-i’m- we’re mates! I don’t understand,”

William’s back tensed at her words. “I don’t like a fucking liar, especially when they lie to me in front of the entire kingdom.” William grabbed Melody’s arm and forced her against him. Her robe fell off one shoulder and the mark was gone. Melody’s eyes widened and she quickly tried to cover it. Clearly she had forgotten to reapply the fake mark to her skin before she came here.

“No, I would never lie about this,“

“I know you’re a fucking liar because I found my real mate! I don’t need your fake mark to prove it.” He growled in her face before he shoved her away from him. She stumbled to the floor and just barely caught herself. Melody’s eyes went right to Doris who stayed quiet behind William.

“She’s lying! She’s not your mate!” Melody cried as she moved back away from William. “I’m your mate! You found me that day and I’ve been loyal to you! I waited here as you went to find who poisoned me!”

“I didn’t go for you, I don’t give a shit who poisons you.” William spat at her. “I went to find other answers for myself.”
