Chapter 65 No one is allowed to touch you but

Doris was more than happy to oblige. After she ate, she rested for a few hours more before she dressedin warm clothes and met William outside the cabin door. It looked like it was still the middle of the night,but the crisp air was refreshing. She wanted to gulp it down and never go inside again. William didn’tlook at her as they walked down a snowy path. He shoved his hands deep into his pockets and she didthe same. “It’s lovely out.” Doris said as she took in another deep breath. Her breath fogged in front ofher and something about the sight made her happy. Perhaps she was just happy to be alive. He didn’trespond, she was only greeted with the sounds of their feet crunching through the snow. Doris wrappedher arms around herself and let out a longer breath just to see more fog. It was fine, he didn’t like to talkmuch anyway. She didn’t expect him to change just because he spent days at her side when she was

sick. “Those men I killed, were they the ones that kidnapped you?” He asked suddenly. The questionwas so abrupt, her steps slowed. He stopped completely and turned to look at her. His gaze was almostdisarming, she didn’t know what to say. “No…” Doris said slowly. William’s face darkened and she knewhe wanted her to continue. “They… those ones tried to harm me when I came here after Enzo broughtme here. Enzo cut out one of their tongues after the first incident but his friends joined in on the secondone.” She knew the question on his murderous expression before he said it. “Did they—“ “No, but theytried.” William flexed his fingers and cracked his neck. Doris chewed on her lip as she watched his ragestart to pile up. Did he wish he could kill them again? “Who was the one that kidnapped you?” “Enzo saidhe took care of it—” “Who?” William demanded a bit louder, Doris flinched and her need to do what heasked kicked in. “I… their names were Jules and Darrell.” “Was it one of them who left the bite on

your neck?” He growled as if his possessive side was starting to take over his mind and he couldn’tpossibly act any other way. Doris simply nodded. She’d honestly forgotten all about the mark on her neckopposite to the one William left. She thought the claw marks might have scratched through it butapparently not. He must have seen them at some point when she was sick but didn’t want to mention ituntil she was better. No wonder he wanted her to take

a walk so soon. William grabbed her hand and pulled her behind him as he stomped through the snow.“Hey! Where are we going?” Doris asked as she tried not to trip and keep up with him. He said nothing.William led her to the stables where his black horse was stationed and made her stand by it. “Stay here.”Doris watched him leave and looked around at all the other horses, confused. What on earth was hedoing? After about twenty minutes of standing in the cold stable, William returned pulling on black leathergloves. He looked determined and… handsome. She hated herself for thinking it, those

thoughts would only lead right back to her dream where she had no business remembering “What are wedoing in here? Maybe I should go back to bed and rest more” “I found where they are.” He gripped herwaist and lifted her onto the back of the horse before she could object and pulled himself up in front ofher. “What? William—” He gripped the reigns, Doris quickly wrapped her arms around his waist before hekicked the horse off into the night. She’d never been more grateful for wearing pants than she was in thatmoment. He was absolutely mad for doing this, she didn’t want any part of it. The horses hoovespounded loudly against the ground as he rode them towards the men that kidnapped Doris. That waswhere they were going, wasn’t it? Was he going to rip off their heads like he did to the other two? Thesounds of gallops were too loud for her to ask, she had no choice but to hold on as he rode as fast as hecould through the night. She clenched her eyes closed tightly when the wind picked up. She’d

never been on a horse before, the thought of enjoying this ride made her stomach turn. This was nowhere near fun. 1 How could he take her to do this? She just got out of her death bed less than a fewhours ago. Even though it felt good to be up and out-this was not what she meant. This was the furthestthing from what she wanted. For him to be this insistent, he must have spent days spewing in his ragewondering if he’d gotten the men that hurt her or not. Why did he even care so much? She was his maid,not his lady. Whoever disrespected her never seemed to bother him before. The horse skidded to a halt.Doris opened her eyes to see the cabin and flickers of her torture crossed her mind. All the marks theyleft on her. The way they yanked at her clothes and were so close to taking her innocence from herWilliam slid off the horse and held his arms out for her. Doris hesitated before she allowed him to help

her down.” William, this is absurd. I don’t feel well, we should go back-” “They deserve everything I’mgoing to do.” William said and turned away from her. She pulled at his arm but he shoved

her off him and kicked in the front door of the cabin without a single hesitation. Murderous rage wasradiating from him, she wanted to scream at him to stop. She had seen enough suffering, she didn’t wantto see an ounce more. “Hey!” Two men shouted. William went in without a second thought, Doris stayedright where she was and tried to stop her hands from trembling. “What the fuck!” One screamed, Doriscovered her ears to block out the sickening sounds of bones cracking. Doris stumbled back when Williamcame back out a few minutes later, dragging both men by their hair as if they weighed nothing The menwere smaller than him, but still quiet large compared to Doris. Their faces were completely covered inblood and their noses were bent the wrong way. They held onto William’s hands as he dragged them out.A trail of blood followed in their wake. William dropped them by her feet and kneeled down to forcedthem to look up at her. “Are these the ones that hurt you?” He asked calmly, a little too calm for what hewas doing. Doris only spared a quick glance before

she nodded. “William-” “I didn’t touch her!” Darrell screamed. William hit him hard in the face. “If youdon’t apologize for what you did to her, I’ll carve out your eyes and and rip open your stomach righthere.” William threatened and made him look up at Doris. “You first.”. “I—I’m sorry for what we did to you—“ William hit him again. “I said for what you did.” He growled. Darrell had bloody tears streaming downhis face. “I—I’m sorry for everything I did to you. Please forgive me, I’ll never touch another woman thatway again.” William dropped him and went to Jules. He kicked him in his side and then kneeled to forcehim to look at Doris.“ Your turn.” “I—I’m so sorry for everything. You didn’t deserve anything I did and Iswear I’ll never fuck up like that again,” “Would you like to do the honors?” William asked through histeeth as he glanced up at Doris. He had their blood on his face and he looked deranged. “Please, we’resorry—“ William didn’t let Jules finish. He stood and stomped his foot down on his head, smashing his

skull in with his boot. Doris flinched when the blood splattered on her face. She gasped and stumbledback. “Oh my-” “Help me!” Darrell screamed. “Do you want to punish your attacker, Doris?” William

asked again. Doris quickly shook her head no and held out her hands as if to stop him. William grabbedDarrell and pulled him into the darkness. Doris covered her ears again when Darrell started to screamloud enough to send sleeping birds from their trees. And then… silence. The air stilled, she tried not tolook at the body in front of her but the blood pooled around the area quicker than it could melt into thesnow. Flickers of her nightmare returned to her mind… what had he done? When William came out, hisface was coated in so much blood-she almost didn’t recognize him. He stopped in front of her and liftedher chin to look up at him. “No one is allowed to touch you but me.”
