Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne novel Chapter 137

Chapter 137 For the people

A burst of joy and anger hit her at once when their eyes met across the clearing, it almost made her stumble over. William slowed his horse to a stop when he saw her-he even had the nerve to smile at her as if it would make her forget everything.

And it almost worked. When his dimple made an appearance, she almost forgot why she would ever be mad at him. He looked like an angel when he smiled. It was… quite the sight.

He must have noticed the look on her face. His smile slipped right off as if it was never there and Doris almost pinched herself for being the reason it was long gone. Part of her always worried that she would never see it again.

The guards took their horses straight to the stables, but William dismounted right in front of her. “Has something happened?” He asked when he neared her.

“Why didn’t you mention to me where you were going?” Doris blurted out as if she couldn’t hold the thoughts in a second longer. William furrowed his brow. “I thought you would still be sleeping when we got back.”

A few guards came out of the stables with bags slung over their shoulders. Her face heated up as they stared at her. She wanted to shout that she wasn’t talking to them, she was talking to William and she didn’t need an audience.

She cleared her throat, “Where did you all go?”

“We went to find some food and supplies for the villagers. There wasn’t much available from the nearby villages, but we gathered all that we could.” Patrick filled in for her. He gestured for his men to follow him into the cabins and left Doris alone with William once again.

William took a step closer and lowered his voice. “Did something happen while we were gone?”

“No. I was just-”

“Worried about you.” Cordelia sang in her mind. She wanted to scream at her wolf to silence her.

William flickered his eyes over her face as if he was trying to read her thoughts.

“I was just concerned about you, is all.” Doris forced out. The edge of his mouth lifted slightly and she wanted to stomp on his foot for all the horrible thoughts he had just put her through . “You should have left us a note or something.”

William leaned down a little to be eye level with her. She almost gasped at the sight of his blue eyes, so stunning out in the snow. When he kissed her, she could have fallen into him for more than just a simple taste.

“I should have told you, you’re right. I sometimes forget that I have a mate who wants to know   — where I am.” He admitted. Doris felt her blush thicken on her cheeks. “All of my past lovers wouldn’t bat an eye if I left them for hours or days. Most of the time, I think they wouldn’t have cared if something did happen.” ?

Doris parted her lips to respond, but nothing came out. Not once had William shared a part of himself like that. It was like he gave her a small peek inside his insecurities and it made all of her anger melt away.

Doris moved up on her toes to kiss him again.

“Aw. This was not the fight I was hoping for.” Enzo grumbled from behind them. Doris quickly turned to see him with a mock disappointment on his lips. “Where’s the name calling and hair pulling? I was hoping for a show.” 1

William looked utterly confused, Doris glared at Enzo. “Will you go back inside to nap or

something?”

“I can’t lay down for another moment, I’ll go absolutely insane. Where was your prince off to?”

William rolled his eyes to the sky. She was only surprised he didn’t start cursing at Enzo to leave them alone. “We went to get supplies. There’s no food here for the villagers to survive off of once they get better.”
