Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne
Chapter 147
Chapter 147 Go make yourself useful.
Doris laid in her old bed and felt a strange piece of her missing. She expected to feel as if she was right where she belonged, as if she was home-but she didn’t feel that way at all. The bed was stiff under her back and she might as well have been laying in the dirt with how it made her feel. She rolled on her side and saw nothing but the bare walls and it hit her then
She missed William.
The thoughts weren’t welcome and she wanted to banish them from her mind, but they just kept sneaking back in. She missed his warmth and the safeness she felt in his grasp-it was like no other. His arms wrapped around her body in her mind and she closed her eyes tightly to imagine it all. It was the only way she could lure her exhausted body into sleep, if only for a few hours of blissful nothingness.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)
Morning came and Beth was still not back from her nightshift. Doris got up to bathe away her journey before she pulled on her old uniform. It felt so strange to step back inside it. She felt as if it was oddly fitting in every possibly way, as if it no longer belonged to her and she’d stolen it from someone else. How was she supposed to return to the girl she was before they left for the trip? That girl was buried the second Doris found her wolf inside her and realized how to stand up for herself. 1
It made her sick thinking about becoming the girl she was before. The one that let herself almost be beaten to death and let everyone around her step on her as if she was nothing. Her inner wolf growled at the very thought. 2
When Doris came out of the bathing chamber, Beth was passed out in her bed with her shoes still on. Doris quietly took them off and wrapped her up in as many blankets she could find before she left out the door. They had so much more to talk about, but she had to let her friend rest. She needed it.
The hallways were pure chaos, even this early in the morning. Servants were rushing through the halls towards every direction. Many of them looked as if they hadn’t slept a minute in days, she worried they might pass out if they didn’t give themselves a moment to rest. Was it always this crazy at the palace? Only when they had events, not daily.
They paid no attention to Doris, as if she was just another piece of furniture. It felt different since the last time she was here-which wasn’t that long ago, if she was honest. Why did it feel so different? Perhaps Beth was right, there was a darker shadow on the castle that wasn’t there before. She felt it almost immediately, it was all wrong.
Doris managed not to get stopped by a single soul while she made her way towards the guest quarters. Although Beth was weighing heavily on her mind, she had to make sure the rogues were still being treated well enough by the palace that didn’t want to welcome them.
