Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

Chapter 179 Fight to the death

Doris closed the flap before Beth could see out of it. Her heart rate sped up to a hundred and she could barely hear anything over it. The feeling in her stomach was justified, she knew something bad was coming. Now it was here and she didn’t know what to do.

“What was it?” Beth asked from behind her. Her eyes were wide and innocent-Doris only felt her panic heighten. She had to protect Beth-nothing else mattered but Beth and her unborn baby.

“…” Doris gripped Beth’s arm and moved her to the back of the tent where it was the darkest. She quickly grabbed the blankets off the bed and put them around Beth in an attempt to hide her. “I need you to stay here and hide. No matter what you hear, do not come out. Do you understand me?” Doris whispered. “You can not make a single sound once I leave.”

Now Beth’s eyes were terrified. “What are you talking about-”

“Please, stay quiet.” Doris begged. “I need you to listen to me.”

Beth quickly nodded with tears running down her cheeks. She knew that Beth wouldn’t be able to defend herself, it was up to Doris to get them out of this alive. She was the only one that could shift into a wolf and have a chance to save them-she could do this. She had to do this.

“Don’t be afraid. I’m going to shift, please don’t follow me, okay?” Doris squeezed her hand before she turned away from her.

Cordelia didn’t have to say a word. She stepped into control instantly with Doris at her side. Doris could barely acknowledge the agonizing feel of her bones cracking and being put back together. It was like all the pain was nothing compared to the adrenaline that pumped through her body. If she had to, she bet she could’ve run a hundred miles in minutes.

Seconds later, she was a white wolf with nothing on her mind but to protect her friend and any other guard that might still be out there alive. Doris stepped over her shredded clothes and poked her head out of the flap quietly.
