Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

Chapter 170 A wild man gone

Later that night, Doris kept herself wide awake in case William came back. But he never did. Beth came and distracted her enough until she left for bed and now all Doris had was her thoughts that wouldn’t stop replaying the day. The look of murderous rage on William’s face before he silenced the Luna Queen once and for all.

He walked away from the scene as if it hadn’t really happened. Perhaps he thought if he didn’t look back, it wouldn’t be true. She couldn’t honestly tell a single emotion from him after he did what he did.

He was right for what he did, everyone knew it. If he was wrong, half of the camp would have left the moment they found out but they only celebrated it as a win that it was. They were one step closer to the crown-and perhaps that’s what William realized too.

Doris wasn’t sure how much time had passed since she last saw him. It felt like days but it must have only been hours. She expected to see him pacing in front of the small area they had in the tent, but he never came to ward away her bad thoughts.

Just when she gathered herself up to go looking for him, someone tapped on the tent opening.

“Doris? The doctor is here.” Patrick called through the flap. Doris quickly straightened herself. “Come in!”

Patrick opened the flap for the older doctor. She smiled at Doris warmly and her eyes went right to her stomach as if she expected to see evidence of the baby already under her thick sweater. “Hi Doris, I’m Vale. How are you feeling?”

“Hi Vale. I’m well enough today. I have a bit of nausea but that is all.” Doris moved to sit on the bed with the doctor. She glanced at Patrick before he went to leave. “Have you seen William? I thought he would’ve liked to be here for this.” “William“ Patrick hesitated. “He left earlier to the palace, I haven’t heard from him.”

“What?” Doris stood. “We should go look for him! Did anyone else go with him when he left? He might be captured and tortured by Martin’s side!”

“Yes, he had a good number of guards with him, Doris. He asked me to stay here and watch over the camp.” Patrick held out his hand. “He’s fine, Doris. He needed to take care of something important. I feel sorry for the man that thinks they could capture or torture William.”

“Should I wait for him to come back before I do this?” Doris glanced at the doctor. “I thought he wanted to be in the room to make sure.”

“You can tell him the results when he gets back. He knew this was happening tonight, go on with it.” Patrick nodded before he left.
