Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

Chapter 130

Chapter 130 Home is calling.

William clenched the letter in his hand and immediately turned back to their cabin. Doris followed him with Patrick and Enzo on her heel. They closed the door and William ripped open the letter to read it quickly. Her heart pounded roughly in her chest, who had sent William a letter all the way out here?

  • There had never been a silence so loud to her own ears. When he finished, he looked up at all of them with a distant expression. She hated when he looked like that. She feared she could never reach him.

“Something happened at the palace. There’s some sort of plague that has broken out while we’ve been gone.” William said, clearly in shock. That was truly the last thing she had expected to hear.

“Is everyone okay? Has any of your family been affected?” Or Beth! Doris felt the dread sink in her stomach. She silently prayed to the moon goddess that her friend was okay. How could this have happened? They’d been gone for some time, but not that long.

“It doesn’t say much about if anyone had gotten sick.” William stared at the paper again as if hoped it would have more. “It just requests that I come back before it gets worse.”

“That’s all?” Patrick asked. He stepped forward to peer at the letter.

“That, and my idiot brother Martin had decided to get married the second we were gone.” William tossed the letter to the side. Patrick immediately went to grab it and read it over for himself.

Doris watched William carefully. Did he feel jealous that his brother had just married his ex lover? He shifted a little and refused to meet her eyes and she didn’t know why that hurt more than anything else. It was all the confirmation she needed. Clearly, a part of him had not gotten over her just yet. 1 “I can have you all packed and on the road within the hour.” Enzo offered. He looked at each of them. “I can come with you if you need me to convince your father of our blood promise.”

“I think it would be best if you did come with us. You can bring your own guards with you if you need.” William crossed his arms over his chest and stared into the fire. Tears started to burn the back of her throat, she swallowed them down before anyone could catch a hint of them.

“Very well. I will have it all prepared.” He nodded his head and threw a small wink at Doris before he left the cabin. At least he would be there with them, that mended her pain a little.
