Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne novel Chapter 146

Chapter 146 Missed gossip

Beth’s question shouldn’t have surprised Doris as much as it did, but it left her speechless. Half of her wanted to lie about William and the other half wanted to spill out every detail that her mind had held in since the moment they first kissed. It was rotten to think bad of her friend-she knew she would keep all of her secrets. But she couldn’t help but hesitate.

“We… got along fine on the trip. He was admittedly grumpy at times, but that was to be expected.” Doris nervously laughed and picked at her nails. Beth narrowed her gaze suspiciously and caught on to every small movement she made. Doris wanted to melt back into the couch and pretend she hadn’t said anything.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)

“I didn’t ask that, I asked if he made a move on you.” Beth leaned closer as if she was trying to peer into Doris’s brain for the answer. Doris was only glad she couldn’t see all of the things Doris had been up to with the handsome prince. “He’s notorious for seducing every pretty maid he comes in close contact with … don’t tell me he didn’t try anything with you on the trip. You were the only girl!”

Doris felt her cheeks heat instantly. “I-I don’t even-“

“Ah ha! I knew it.” Beth clapped and made Doris flinch. “I knew he would try to get in your pants! I wouldn’t blame you if you let him, he’s incredibly handsome. I wouldn’t have been able to control myself either”

“Beth!” Doris gasped. A small sense of jealously built up in her chest at the thought of William seducing just any maid he wanted. It was true, he could take any maid or servant to bed while she wasn’t around and he would never feel the need to tell her about it. Another reason it wasn’t wise to give her heart away to the beast. “We shouldn’t talk like this, it isn’t proper.”

Beth stared at Doris for a moment before she started laughing. “Doris! No one will hear us! | haven’t seen you in forever, tell me something about the trip! No one here likes to gossip anymore, it’s become so boring without you here with me.”(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)

Doris sighed and pushed her hair behind her ears. “Well, Melody lied about being William’s mate.” She whispered.

Beth’s eyes grew wide. “No way! How did you find out?”

“I think I always knew she was lying because…” Doris glanced back at the door to make sure it was still closed before she lowered her neckline to show Beth her mate mark. Beth’s eyes looked as if they were going to pop out of her head and Doris instantly regretted it.

“What?!” She shouted. Doris clamped her hand down over her mouth to silence her.

“You can’t tell anyone! I don’t want anyone to know-“

Beth wiggled out of her grip. “You have to tell people! You could be his lady!”   “I don’t even know if I want that yet, Beth! I haven’t decided if I want to even be with him… | want to be free, not tied to this place even more.”

“Doris, you could be pampered and treated with the most respect if you came forward as his mate. No one would dare mess with you-look how they treat Melody!” Beth gripped Doris’s hands and made her look at her. “They wouldn’t hurt you anymore, you would be the one to tell them what to do. Isn’t that better than trying to find a new job out in the world? It’s full of uncertainty out there, but here you would be treated like a royal.”

Doris shook her head sadly. “I don’t want to tell people what to do or have them clean up after me. I want to be free-I want to live on my own terms. If I were to accept being his lady, I don’t know what my future would become. I don’t want to tie myself to a man who might get bored of me and cast me aside when he finds someone knew to play with, I don’t want that life.”

Beth frowned. “If you were his true mate, he wouldn’t stray. I heard that once wolves find their true mate, they don’t desire anyone else the same way again. Look at the king, he still hasn’t found (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) a woman he wants. He can’t find one to be happy with for more than a week after his mate passed-“ Beth paused and her eyes widened yet again. “Wait… does that mean you have a wolf inside you?”

“Will you keep it down? I’m not ready for everyone to know about it yet!” Doris hissed. She glanced at the door yet again to make sure no one had cracked it open to listen.
