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.

Beth waved away her words. “I’d much rather you come back here rather than run through the palace naked and bruised. Don’t apologize to me for something you can’t control.”

“So, if I may ask, where are you all off to today?” Beth asked lightly. She glanced behind her shoulder as if she worried someone would be behind them listening.

“I thought you hated politics!” Beth gasped. Doris rolled her eyes.

“I do, I just. He asked me to be there so I’m going.” Doris lifted her chin slightly. Beth raised her brows.

“You certainly have changed quite a bit since you left for the north.” Beth said as she went to grab Doris’s dress. It was a lovely sea foam day dress that reached her ankles.

“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.”

A knock interrupted their laughter. Beth hurried and answered the door before another round of aggressive knocking started.
