at her once. “I will give you over the crown, the palace, anything you ask for… in exchange for Doris.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)” Martin said as he leaned back in his seat. William flinched a little as if his words had wounded him. Even hearing it out loud herself shocked her, part of her wanted to believe that he had been bluffing this whole time. “What? You want my mate in exchange for the crown?” William fisted his hands on the table. “Have you lost your mind? What makes you think I would ever agree to something Any sense of cool, calm and collected fell away from William all at once. He didn’t try to hide his distaste for his brother any longer and she was only surprised it took him so long. “You and I both know that Doris will never be happy at the palace. She only has bad memories of the place, let me take care of her.” Martin gestured to the walls around them. “I had this place set up for her. She could be happy here and have a true life of freedom. I had a home made for her to be herself where she never has to worry about being a slave to anyone-“ “You think I would let you take my mate? There is nothing stopping me from killing you right this moment and ending all of this.” William said through his teeth. Martin looked amused which only infuriated William more. “We both know it wouldn’t be that simple. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)I would have to give you the crown willingly. Think about it, William. The crown is all you want-you won’t have time for her once you become king. If you knew her at all, you would know how much her own freedom means to her.” “How long have you wanted my mate, Martin?” “Longer than you, that’s for certain. You didn’t even know she was alive when I started this house for her.” Martin narrowed his eyes. “I should have known that you would sink your claws into the one thing | wanted. Is this revenge for what happened with Grace?” “Mates are destined, Martin. Don’t flatter yourself thinking that I cared what you wanted.” William leaned forward. “There is nothing you could give me in exchange for her. She is not up for negotiation and she never will be. You might as well stop while you’re ahead.” Doris felt her heart leap in her chest. She knew he wouldn’t have given her up, but part of her had always worried how far he would go for the crown. Clearly there had always been a line, and she was it. “Answer me this, William. When did you start to pursue the crown? I always thought you had better things to do than care about your own kingdom. I don’t remember you in any of the lessons when we were children. You were always off doing your own thing.” “I’ve always wanted the crown. I just knew that our father would never take me seriously enough to hand  it over.” William raked his fingers through his hair aggressively at the thought. “When we were young, he wouldn’t even consider giving me a pack. He insulted me in front of everyone by calling me useless-he made it clear that I was never going to be anything to him.” “The packs he assigned us were for show, you know that. They held no real weight for anything. I remember when I fist got mine. I felt so important. I quickly learned that my word meant nothing to them. They smiled and agreed to whatever I said, but they were clearly run by someone within the pack. I quickly forgot about them, as did Jack and I believe Daniel did as well.” “It doesn’t matter if they were for show. That might make it even worse because I was never given one. I always thought I could be what our father saw me as and(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) it wouldn’t make a difference what I truly wanted. Whenever I tried to show a. a shine at my own leadership, our father would laugh it off as if I was a fool.” William shook his head at the memory. “Nothing I did mattered to that man. I tried for years until I realized I had to do it
