Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106 A flirting game.

“You must like it up there.” Joseph said with a bit of amusement in his tone. Doris carefully stepped off the dresser and smoothed out her clothes with as much dignity as she could muster under his gaze. “It’s quite a view.” Doris cleared her throat. “Did you forget something?”

“oh—“ Joseph held out a stack of clothes. “Sorry this took so long for them to be brought to you. I thought you’d like to change out of the ruined ones you came in with.”

Doris accepted the stack and brushed her fingers over the soft fabric. “Thank you, that’s very kind.”

“Did I hear you talking to someone or have I gone a bit mad?” Joseph asked as he peered around the room. His light eyes caught on the window for a moment before they moved on to the rest of the small area to see nothing but old furniture.

“Oh–I was trying to reach my wolf. I still haven’t heard anything from her.” Doris said without missing a beat. How had she gotten so good at lying? William’s frown caught in her mind before she pushed it away.

Joseph nodded in understanding. “I heard she might be gone for quite a few days.”

“Do you know what they gave me? Will she be okay?” Doris asked as her hands tightened on the clothes in her grasp.

“I don’t know the name of it but it’s one of their experimental drugs. They’ve tested it on a lot of the rogues here so I have no doubt it worked on you. She should be perfectly fine when it all wears off.”

“Do you exactly know how long—“ “It lasts? No, unfortunately not exactly. A few days or more, it depends on how much they gave you.” Joseph said and stepped a little closer to her. Enzo’s taunt circled the back of her mind and now her eyes watched each of his movements he made around her.

“Is there anything else I can get you?” He asked. “A set of keys and a horse?” Doris said with a smile that might have blinded him. He laughed and stepped away.

“I’ll get right on it.” He winked. Doris watched as he headed for the door again and a small idea sparked inside her like a fire waiting to burn down everything around her.

“Wait!” Doris called. He froze with his hand stretched out for the door. “I—It’s been quite lonely in here. I was wondering if you would join me later when one of the

meals come? If you’re able to do something like that, of course.”

His lips tugged at the corners and she knew she had him right where she wanted him. She smiled and brushed her hair behind her ears as if she was shy.

“Yeah. I think I can do that. I’ll be by later.”

The smile stayed on her face until he closed the door and locked it behind him—then it fell as if it was never there. It was time for Doris to save herself.

Doris swore she was losing her mind with how much she paced her room while alone with her thoughts. William’s words haunted her more than anything else could ever dare. Usually people said things in anger that they either meant or thought would hurt you the most. People were cruel when they didn’t know how to handle their own feelings so they threw it back in the faces of the ones they loved.
