Chapter 159


    Chapter 159 A y to remember


    Beth didn’t hesitate like Doris did. She ran to the door and threw it open to reveal Prince William in all his


    finery. His suit was covered in gold lines and blue fabric. It formed close to his body and told everyone


    just who it was made for. No details were hidden, her hands itched to run over every line on his body to


    feel it pressed against her skin. Those blue eyes stuck out so startlingly, it took her breath away. She


    could only witness as his heated gaze traveled over every curve of her body and right back up to her


    blushing face as if she was a prize he had just won. “Doris …” He breathed. Her name sounded like it


    was dipped in gold when he said it like that. Beth’s eyes flickered back and forth between them until she


    finally slipped out the door and headed to her own quarters. It almost made Doris nervous to be alone


    with him when he looked like that. How was she supposed to keep her hands to herself? One touch and


    she might unravel his entire perfection and it wouldn’t be fair of her to do something like that. “You look


    so handsome.” Doris said shyly as she forced herself to step closer to him. His messy hair was gone for


    the night. (This novel will be daily updtaed at .noveljar)It was perfectly slicked back and she


    almost dared herself to mess it up again. She adored it when it was at its messiest. Hisrge hands were


    on her body the second she was close enough to him. He brought her hips against him as if he couldn’t


    stand the thought of them apart. Her skin lined with goosebumps as he ran his hands up and down her


    body as if he owned her. A sick thrill inside her wanted him to own her in that moment, especially if he


    looked like that. “You look …” William sucked in a breath. “I’ve never seen a more beautiful woman.” He


    finally said. His deep voice rough and a little desperate to her ears. Doris felt her face me at his words.


    She only ever looked like a maid in makeup to herself . “Don’t tease me…” “You know how I feel about


    liars.” William said against her ear. Her hands clenched his shirt. Someone cleared their throat loudly


    near her door. They broke apart to see Patrick standing by awkwardly as if he didn’t know what to do


    with himself. “William, we’rete as it is. We were supposed to be there an hour ago for the preparations.


    I’m almost certain that it has already started without you.” William waved away his words and took


    Doris’s hand. “I didn’t need to see them force my sick father from his bed just to go to this stupid y,


    Patrick.” Patrick rolled his eyes and led them out towards the main hall where the y was to be held. “I


    thought your father couldn’t walk…” Doris whispered to William. “Shouldn’t he be in bed?” “They’re going


    to have him in a wheelchair.” William grumbled. She could see the tenseness in his shoulders-she knew


    this must have killed him inside. He didn’t want his father to suffer, even if he couldn’t admit it. Once they


    reached the hall, it was much quieter than she expected. Everyone was already seated and waiting for


    the y to start and it made her wonder howte they truly were. Enzo waved at her as they passed and


    gave them a wide grin as if he was also surprised to be there. He wasn’t alone, his entire group of


    rogues were gathered around him.  William furrowed his brow at the sight of them. Clearly he didn’t


    expect the pce to invite the rogues to this sort of event. Why would they even bother? Howard Ford


    came stomping down the aisle towards them once he caught them in his sight. William looked past him


    as if he didn’t even exist. “Prince William, it’s nice of you and yourdy to finally have joined us. The y


    has been waiting for you to arrive for an hour, we almost went on without you.” “A shame that would have


    been.” William said as he walked right past the man with Doris on his arm. “My daughter is set to be the


    main act. Try to enjoy it.” Howard sneered before he went to take his seat. William led Doris up to the


    front where the rest of the royals were and she felt her hands start to sweat. Was her entire body


    sweating too? How embarrassing! She shouldn’t be allowed up here with them. She should be standing


    against the walls with the rest of the maids, she didn’t belong “Sit.” William whispered in her ear. Doris


    saw Daniel and immediately took her ce next to him.(This novel will be daily updtaed at


    .noveljar) His bright smile was enough to make her heart calm for a moment. At least there was


    one friendly face. She didn’t have the heart to seek out Prince Martin yet. The king was on the far end


    next to Luna Queen and her sons. It looked as if they were a wall that surrounded him and no one could


    dare get close enough if they wanted to live. His paleness and weak stance was hard to miss, she


    wished they had just listened to William and let the man rest instead of dragging him out of bed. William


    took one look at his father before he seated himselfzily in the front row. The room grew dark instantly


    once he did. How long would he be able to keep up his act of being careless to those around him? His


    armor was starting to crack and she couldn’t have been the only one that noticed it. “Ladies and


    gentlemen,” A beautiful woman took the stage. She looked a bit older than Doris but not by much. “I


    wee you all tonight and thank you for joining our little y of dance and love. We hope this makes


    our king feel a bit better! Please, enjoy it! ” Music drowned out the soft apuse and the curtains pulled


    open instantly. Young girls in white ballerina skirts lined the stage and begun their lovely dance while


    young men were there to help them along. It was beautiful. They moved to the haunting beat and danced


    across the stage as if they were telling a story. Doris could almost understand what it meant. A lovely


    story of tragedy and devastation between the two main dancers that kept being pulled apart and finding


    each other again. She didn’t realize she was gripping William’s leg until he held her hand. One of the tall


    curtains fell from the holder and right onto several of the front dancers. The music continued even when


    they struggled to get up. Servants rushed to the stage to help the fallen children when suddenly a


    scream pierced the air. William’s hold tightened on Doris. In the center of the stage, wolves broke out


    through the curtains and lunged right for the audience in a vicious matter that Doris knew wasn’t part of


    the act. William hurled Doris to the side just as one of the wolves aimed for her head. She stumbled out


    of her chair and fell harshly to the ground just as Daniel did the same. “What’s happening?” Someone


    screamed. Daniel stood and took stance immediately to fight


    back, Enzo’s group in the back shifted to fight against those that attacked them as if they had a target on


    their heads. “Get out of here!” William shouted to Doris. “They’re after the royals, look at them!” He was


    right. The wolves circled the royals as if they wanted to corner them before they could strike. (This novel

    mother. William shoved Doris towards the door, but he didn’t follow. She crawled between the benches


    towards the edge of the room. Her dress tore when it caught on the edge of the wooden seats and she


    wanted to tear the beautiful garment off her just so she could move better. A brown wolf caught her by


    her ankle and dragged her back towards the royals as if he was trying to round her up with the rest. Doris


    angled her heel and kicked him right in the face and sent the wolf into a dazed state as it tried to regain


    itself. Doris hurried back to hide between the benches as the chaos continued. She saw Daniel fight like


    never before. He grabbed one of the wolves with his bare hands and threw them against the wall with a


    sickening crack. She almost didn’t recognize him-how was this the same soft boy who talked her out of


    her worst thoughts? He fought like the warrior she always heard he was. And he didn’t even have to


    shift. The rest of the room had cleared out but many guards covered the king like a human shield.N?velDrama.Org content.


    William must have shifted and been lost in the crowd with the rest of the wolves that tried to tear the


    audience apart. She felt Cordelia hum angrily inside her and Doris let her have control.
