Chapter 206. No Room for Peace

Beth rolled her eyes. "You should be happy about this, Doris! Every maid in the palace would die to be in your shoes. I know how many women have dreamed of William just looking at them!"

Doris swallowed her spike of jealousy. She'd never felt such an intense rage before she had her wolf inside her. Now it hummed every time a small cord was pulled as if she wanted to burn down everyone that threatened what she had with her mate.

"I don't know how to feel Beth. You know that I never wanted this for myself. I wanted to blend into the walls before it was my time to leave this place. Now... Now I feel like I'm going to become just like the rest of his ladies."

Beth rubbed Doris's shoulder. "Even if that happens, I wouldn't let you suffer alone. Isn't a bite of paradise worth the risk of a fall?" She whispered.

Doris tried to imagine herself without William. She tried to imagine what it would be like to walk away from him and pretend none of it had ever happened.
