Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

Chapter 161 Freedom, at what cost

“I didn’t expect to see you in that form.” Beth said gently as she pulled Doris’s hair away from her face. Doris studied her friend in the mirror and wondered if it was fear she felt.

“I’m sorry to have startled you, I would have shifted back before I reached here but I didn’t have any clothes.” Doris admitted with a light blush. It was her least favorite thing about being a wolf-having to rip every outfit she wore. It wasn’t like the books where the clothes shifted back with her body without a tear.

“I think anyone that went through what I did would change at least a little.” Doris stood and went to change before Beth could respond. She didn’t want to hear if her friend thought the change was good or bad.

When she came out, Beth smiled widely. “You were meant to be a princess! I always told you

SO!”

“Beth, you are more of a princess than I will ever be.” Doris laughed. Beth scrunched up her nose as if she was offended. “Me? Absolutely not! At least not at this palace.”
