Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne novel Chapter 110

Chapter 110 Don’t think I forgot about you.

“Allow me to introduce myself.” The large man said, his smile looked as if it was pure yellow and black. He brushed his dirty hand across his large stomach as if he was wiping dirt off it and went to shake her hand. She refused to even look at him in the eye.

Instead of being insulted, he laughed louder. It was a disgusting sound, it made her think he had dirt lodged deep in his throat with no hope of ever getting it out. “My name is Marcus and I work for Life Pharmacy. Normally, I clean the grounds and care for the dogs, but I was told a pretty little thing escaped and I knew I had to come find ya before you froze to death.” 1

Doris struggled to get the rope off her, but Marcus only tugged tighter until it squeezed the breath out of her. He kept pulling until she laid back against the snow in complete defeat.

“Now now, you don’t wanna do that. You’re already in a heap of trouble, I wouldn’t want to add to your punishments.” He grinned again. The sight would haunt her dreams for many nights, she wondered if he knew how terrifying it was.

A few large dogs came up to sniff her face with a low growl in the back of their throats. She cringed away from their wet noses and wished she could melt into the ground. As long as they didn’t bite her face, she was fine. She hoped. At least it wasn’t a pack of wolves out for her blood. 1

Marcus forced her to stand. “Unless you want me to drag you all the way back, I recommend you walk. Though, I wouldn’t mind it either way. I quite like the sound of girls begging for their life.” He said through his teeth. Doris straightened herself quickly and followed him with his rope still humiliatingly wrapped around her body as if she was another dog. He tugged on her every few minutes to remind her how much control he had over her and how much it hurt to be squeezed if she tried to

run.

“You weren’t far from where you wanted to be.” Marcus said suddenly. She wasn’t sure why he told her that, perhaps to make her feel worse for being so close. There was no way he would have known where she was headed unless they told him where to look. “Only a few more miles up the road and you’d be at Enzo’s camp.” He laughed his nasty sound again. Doris glared at the back of his head and wished she hadn’t dropped her rock when he grabbed her,

“You’re lying.” Doris said.

“Nope. Truly, just over the hill. We’re quite a long way from Life Pharmacy, I almost pulled back in and told them you were gone until one of my dogs caught your scent again. If you were just an hour sooner, you might have already been there with your prince.”

She was miles from William—if she had known that she would have run until her lungs bled inside her chest. She would have never rested a second until she was back beside him. Then he could tear them apart for taking her in the first place. All the effort she made went to shit and knowing she was so close would keep her up for nights. Just like Marcus wanted. He glanced at her over his shoulder with a satisfied smirk planted on his lips.

Her one chance was wasted because of the hideous man in front of her. If he wasn’t surrounded by vicious loyal dogs, she would have tried to bash his head in with her bare fists

Oh, what a terrible thought. When had she gotten so violent? She couldn’t blame it on her wolf this time. She was like a ghost inside her now. No, this was all Doris. Everything that happened to her made her feel more and more anger build up inside her. What would happen when it finally cracked open?

They walked back to Life Pharmacy as if she was walking to her own funeral. It sort of felt like it in a way because she knew her freedom was now ruined beyond repair. She ignored all of the man’s attempt at conversation that usually circled back around to how screwed she was in his opinion.

She was now at the mercy of the rogues-her literal nightmare. Beth would have fainted if she knew what was happening to Doris. Once again, she was glad her friend wasn’t here to see this despite how much she missed her and wished to see her. In her mind, Doris imagined she was curled up in her bed in their old room. Safe and far from any sort of danger. She longed to be there too.
