Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

Chapter 254

#Chapter 44 Happily Ever After

An entourage of people surrounded Doris when she stepped out of her room. William said he wanted to be married today and that forced everything to be pushed up immediately, and it was done. The only difference was that this wedding would be a lot smaller than the original one since many people wouldn’t have enough time to arrive.

It was fine with her. A woman came behind to grab the end of her long trail and another came to hand her a beautiful bouquet of white flowers. Doris felt as if her heart was about the best out of her chest. How was this her reality? She was

about to be crowned queen.

The hall way stretched long in front of her. She held her breath and heard a strange ringing in her ear that made everything silent around her. She glanced at people who were speaking to her but didn’t hear a word of it.

Enzo stood at the end of the long hallway by the grand doors that remained closed. Only when she got close enough did she hear the music beyond. It was beautiful... a wonderful melody to celebrate a day like this. Everything was so bright around her, it was hard to believe she ever had a bit of darkness in her life.

“Are you ready?” Enzo asked as Doris stopped in front of him. He took in the sight of her a let out a low whistle. “You look stunning, Doris. William is a lucky man to ever have claim on you.”

Doris smiled but she felt her anxiety creep up her throat. She couldn’t believe this was about to happen. She knew inside that It was easy, this was easy. She wanted to marry him and they were meant to be together. This was easy. So why did she feel like she was about to throw up?

“Don’t let the nerves strangle you before you get there.” Enzo said gently. He held out his arm and she took it. Somehow, that anchored her to the moment. She held onto him tightly and her bouquet in the other hand as someone dropped her veil down over her face.

She took several deep breaths before nodding at the guards. In a swift motion, they opened the doors to the main ballroom. This room... the one she had once been accused in. She got flashbacks 0f the day when William watched her with intent eyes and she mistook his glare for hatred. She never would have guessed it turned into this.

The room was breathtaking... she knew the staff must have spent every waking minute trying to get it perfect in time. Vines of flowers dripped down from the ceiling as if it was a forest. The floors were covered in rose petals and elegance. It looked like a dream, she didn’t even recognise the room.

At the end of the walk way was her king. William stood with his hands clasped in front of him and Alec had his own little throne right next to him. Her heart fluttered in her chest. This was what she always wanted. This was her future.

Everyone stood the moment the doors had opened and all eyes locked on her. She begged herself not to trip or fall, but Enzo held her up right as he began to walk her down the aisle when the music started.

Doris couldn’t help but scan the faces as she passed each row. She was looking for one face in particular and she almost tripped over herself when she saw him. Daniel stood among the crowd with a hat tipped down low as if he didn’t want to be seen. She knew it was him. She could tell by the way he smiled at her when her eyes caught on him. No, this was perfect. She had everyone she needed here. She didn’t need any other family or anyone else that didn’t really want to be here, everyone she loved was right here.

Doris held her head high the rest of the way. The closer she got to William, the more she knew she was doing the right thing. He looked at her with such love in his blue eyes. There was no storms, no second

guessing. Just pure love.

Doris let go of Enzo when he helped her up the stairs and took William’s hands. Beth stood behind her and it felt as if the rest of the room faded away.

“You look beautiful.” William whispered to her. His words were meant just for her, a secret only they owned.

“You look handsome.” She said back. The side of his mouth lifted slightly and she felt as if she could melt into him.

“We are gathered here today to make history.” The pastor said as the audience all seated themselves. Enzo took his place beside William and stared at Beth the entire time.

“Today, our kingdom gains a new queen. Today, we witness the happiness of our king and the unity 0f love. Our king has found his mate and today and every day after, they will belong to each other officially.”

“Your majesty, if you would like to start with your vows.”

William clenched his teeth before loosening his jaw. “Doris—my mate and soul. If there was ever a reason to tie myself to you that measured more than the way I feel about you, It wouldn’t exist. You were made for me and I was made to love you. You’re stubborn, strong willed and beautiful. I love you even when I’m unsure about everything else. I vow to love and protect you until we are both nothing more than dust.”

“Doris.” The pastor nodded.

Doris felt her hands tremble, he held her tighter. “ William... I could write a book on all the things I love about you. Even when I was at my darkest, you loved me and found a way to pull me out of it. I vow to

always be here to pull you out of your darkest times and know that my love could never fade.” Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Do you take Doris to be your lawfully wedded wife—in sickness and in health?”

“I do.” William said instantly.

“And do you Doris—take William to be your lawfully wedded husband in sickness and in health? And with that—do you accept being

queen of his kingdom?”

“I do.” Doris breathed. William smiled at her. A real, full smile that could have lit up an entire room.

“Then I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride.”

The room stood in applause as William moved her veil back. He took her face into his hands and kissed her. He kissed her like the world was going to shatter around them and all he had to do was hold onto her.

Doris wrapped her arms around William’s neck as he pulled her closer. She felt someone place a crown on her head but all she wanted was to be in his arms forever.

“I love you.” William whispered against her lips before he kissed her again. It was better than any scene she had ever read in her books.

She knew that from then on, they would live happily ever after.
