Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

Chapter 174 And there she goes

“Stay away from her, Melody.” Beth said. Her hands shook a little as she spoke. “You’ll be kicked out of here too if you don’t watch it. Prince William advised you to stay away from Doris.”

Doris gripped Beth’s hand and casually stepped in front of her. She knew her friend was scared. She was so proud of her friend for speaking up instead of staying quiet. The fact that she did it for Doris melted her heart even more. The last thing she wanted was for Melody to hurt her in any way.

“It’s nice to see you’re enjoying the role you stole from me.” Melody said with a false smile. She ignored Beth completely as if she didn’t even exist. It infuriated Doris but also made her glad that she didn’t use her opportunity to bully her. “I knew that was what you wanted all along! All those days I caught you staring at him and falling into him like a pathetic cow!”

“I stole from you? You are the one that pretended to be something you’re not. You knew that when you put that fake mark on your neck!” Doris took a small breath. “There is no use in

fighting me, Melody. You don’t belong here and everyone knows it.”

“It was my role!” Melody shouted, then immediately lowered her volume. “It was mine. I was his lady. I was the one he was destined to be with. You could never measure up to me or what we were!”

“You are not his mate, Melody. You know you’re not. I am. I may have run from the role before, but not anymore. I am Prince William’s mate.” Doris said calmly. No matter how gentle she spoke, it only seemed to make Melody more angry. Doris took a small step back. “There is no point in you being here if you’re only here to terrorize me.”

“I’m not here for you, Doris. I’m here for William.” Melody took a small step forward. “I know he cared for me when we were together. It’s not easy to just forget how you feel for someone!”

“I don’t know what you think will happen, but he is not with you anymore.” Doris said. “He’s not going to leave me for you just because you want to help him. A mating bond means more than everything you had with him, which was nothing.”
