Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

#Chapter 8 No place I wouldn't find you

Doris woke and shot up off the couch without even a second to register what had happened. She knew one thing, her baby was gone. She could feel it in her heart. How long had she even been out? How long did that woman have her child? What... what did she want with her innocent baby? Her mind spun violently from whatever drugs the maid had put in her food. The room doubled in her vision and made her want to vomit everything in her stomach—but she had to stay strong. She had to find her baby before it was too late. That thought scared her more than anything else could.

The question repeated in her mind— what could that woman possibly want with her child? How could she even attempt something like this? No matter where she went, Doris would find her. Nothing could keep her from finding her baby.

"I can smell her scent—let me take over. I'll find her." Cordelia growled. Her voice shook Doris to her core and she didn't hesitate.

Cordelia ripped through her body to take over control a second later. Doris didn't even feel the pain, she was high on rage and fear. She wanted to rip that maid in half and then curl up with her baby until the end of time. How dare she touch her baby!

Cordelia followed the scent the moment her paws hit the floor. She raced down the halls as fast as light and everyone threw themselves out of her way as she passed. Every moment her baby was alone with that woman
—Doris didn't even want to consider what could happen. She didn't want to know what she was capable of.

Her trail led her down the main halls, into the secret ones that the servants used. It was still quite strong, it must not have been that long ago that she passed through. And that was the only hope she had to hang onto.

Cordelia must have forced her awake —the drugs made her feel a bit sluggish still but she could barely feel it now that she was on the hunt. Cordelia followed the scent out of the wide doors and back towards the small houses behind the palace. It stopped right at an old looking shack that looked close to falling apart — surely no one lived here? A place like this should have been torn down. Cordelia ripped down the door with a strength that startled Doris. It felt as if the power came from deep inside her. A place where she hadn't ventured yet—and wasn't sure if she wanted to.
