Chapter 164 Already they fall

“Daniel!” Doris screamed. She dropped next to him and rolled him over-but he was already out. He looked so pale, he looked as if all the lift had suddenly left him and she didn’t know how to get it back. “Daniel!”

Stomps echoed behind her and soon she was ripped away from him as if she was the one that knocked him down. Tears blurred her eyes and made everything seem as if it was out of focus around her. What was happening?

Guards went to check his pulse instantly and it was then that she noticed his chest was moving evenly. “He’s alive! Move him to the medical ward!”

“What happened to him?” Doris shouted. A guard roughly moved her further away from the scene and it only made her wolf want to break free and tear them apart for keeping her away from her friend.

“What did you do to him?” A man screamed in her face. Doris tried to push him away from her but his grip was like iron. His question ignited a fire inside her and made her ready to burn down everything around them.

“I didn’t do anything! We just came out for a walk and he collapsed!”

It was like her claims fell to the ground. They didn’t believe her for a second. Already she could see herself being thrown in the cells where it was cold and dark with no one but herself for company. She would suffer through hundreds of cells if it meant Daniel lived.

“Let me go with him! I need to make sure he’s okay!” Doris struggled to get out of their grip, but they only held on firmer.

We can’t let you do that. We need to figure out what happened to him first-”

Doris finally forced her arm free from their grip with a growl that came straight from her wolf as if it was ripped from her throat. “How dare you treat me as if I had something to do with it? He started coughing and collapsed! I would never harm any of my friends,”

“Let her go to him.” William walked calmly towards them. Everything about him was collected, as if there wasn’t a worry in the world on his shoulders. “And don’t ever touch her like that again. I’ll rip both of your arms right off if I see you lay another hand on her like that.”

“As you wish.” The guards bowed to William and stepped out of her path. Doris looked at William for a second longer, but he did nothing but stare back at her. Had he been watching her walk with Daniel?

She hurried after where they took Daniel and found him in the medical ward with several doctors standing over him as if he was some sort of strange experiment that they couldn’t figure out.  “What happened to the prince?” Someone demanded. Doris quickly stepped up.
