Roman’s POVTen minutes earlier…I can feel her. She is close by.Despite our broken bond, I was able to track her down, but her traces were getting fainter and fainter. I did not know why, but I could feel this burning sensation at my nape, like I had just sustained a deep cut. I tried to ignore it, but the pain was rather alarming. “Is there something on my neck?” I asked Saul, who was seated right behind me. Caelen shoots me a glance, and I see Saul’s eyebrows furrow through the rearview mirror.“No,” he draws out slowly, clearly confused by my question.I scraped at my neck; the sensation slowly turned into a burning sting, and it was driving me insane. “Are you fucking sure? Check again.”“Bro, I am telling you that there is nothing on your damn neck,” Saul says with clear irritation. There is a moment of silence, and I catch his eyes widening when they fall on my neck once again. “Holy sh*t,” Saul mutters.“What? What is it?” I ask, doing my best to keep my focus on the road a
Meredith’s POVAm I dead?I feel like I am dead.I don’t feel normal. Everywhere is so cold and lonely. Why? I thought I saw a bright light, one so warm and comforting. So why do I feel this way? Why do I feel this hollowness and great fatigue? Why do I feel this great weight on my shoulders, and how do I get rid of it?I just want to finally be at peace. Is that so wrong? Maybe it is.My eyes stay shut, afraid to be parted from what I might see. I am not entirely sure where exactly I am, but I got the feeling that this was neither heaven nor hell.Why is it that when matters come to me, they are always different? Why couldn’t I be normal like everyone else? Why?A tear trickles down my face as I bring my knees up to my chest. I wrap my arms around them and drop my head on them. My shoulders began to shake as more tears spilled out of my eyes like a waterfall. All I wanted was to go home. I wanted to feel the warmth of my blanket and smell the scent of my pillows as I lay in the comf
Meredith’s POV Blood. The metallic scent fills my nostrils, forcing my eyelids apart. This isn’t my room; where am I?Memories from the previous night come flooding in, and my mouth forms an O shape as the realization dawns on me. Oh, that is right, I am currently in my matrimonial bed. I just spent the night with my newlywed husband.Most girls would be ecstatic to wake up in the arms of their husband after a blissful wedding night. But I am not.I do not even know who this man I call my husband is. My marriage was arranged by my father, and I only met my dear husband once before we said our vows on the altar yesterday. Let me explain. My name is Meredith, the first and only daughter of Oliver Amman. My father is one of the most powerful Alphas in the kingdom of Nuvia. I am sure you are thinking, Oh, I am a princess, and I have the best life. How I wish that were true, but sadly, it is not. And that is all because of one thing.I am an omega.And an omega is the wo
Meredith’s POVI have never beheld such beauty before in my entire life.The three men that surrounded me stood tall, but only two of them gave me a chilling aura.The one who had spoken has icy blue eyes piercing right through my soul. A few strands of strawberry blond hair fall above them, making him appear even more handsome. He has on a white shirt that is folded up by the sleeves. We are in the middle of the woods, and there is not even a speck of dirt on his shirt. And judging by the state of their camp site, I could tell that they have been here for a while. His expression is cold, almost unreadable. The way his icy eyes pin me to the spot has a shiver running down my spine.The second man is bronze-skinned and has eyes that remind me of honey. His muscular and tall physique nearly has me salivating. He has on a black tank top that shows off his impressive torso, along with black cargo pants and boots. He looks down at me with his eyebrows a bit furrowed. Curiosity
Meredith’s POV I blink up at him, wondering if I had heard him correctly. Roman has a deep scowl on his face when he asks, “What do you think you are doing, Saul?”The grin on Saul’s lips is evil and filled with so many mysteries. Mysteries that I am certain I do not want to uncover. "Oh, come on, Roman - look at her. I have never seen a more desperate creature before in my entire life! She says she is willing to do anything; aren’t you a little bit curious to see how far she could go?”The way he speaks about me, like I am not even here, is quite humiliating. A part of me wants to snap at him and tell him to address me with a bit of respect, I am royalty after all, but I am certain that if I do that, they won't even give me off to the slavers.They would kill me on the spot.So, I stay silent and take it all in.My gaze shifts to my supposed mate. I cannot believe he has not said anything about our mate bond. And more importantly, why isn’t he reacting to what his friend
Meredith’s POVMarco’s grip on my arm is harsh as he leads me to God knows where. I take the time to gawk at the majestic paintings that hang on the crystal-white walls. Most of it was off landscapes and skies; a few of them were of people I do not know but none of them was one of the three kings. How strange.It makes me wonder: how exactly are there three kings ruling one kingdom? There is so much mystery about this place, and I cannot wait to uncover it all.My eyes fall on a woman standing at the end of the hall. The stoic look on her face suggests that she has not had a good laugh in ages. She appears to be somewhere in her forties; her black hair has a few gray strands that are tied up in a tight bun. It lays much emphasis on her rather large forehead. The lines in the corner of her head show that she has spent most of her life frowning rather than smiling. I suppose it explains why her dark brown eyes are void of emotion.“Here she is, ma’am. The king’s new girl.”The woman
Meredith’s POVAll three alphas are seated in armchairs facing the bed. Saul has his usual evil smirk with mischief twinkling in his eyes. Caelen, as always, is filled with curiosity and excitement. And of course, Alpha Roman, with absolutely no expression on his face, remains stoic as always. “Are you ready, little one?” Saul asks me, and I bite my bottom lip. I do not think I will ever be ready, but I might as well get this over with. So, I nod.“You look a lot better now. You are actually very pretty when you don’t have dirt on your face and try to steal our food,” Caelen remarks, and Saul chuckles. My smile is nervous, and I do not know whether to take that as a compliment or not. My gaze shifts to Roman, but he does not utter a word.Rather, his eyes trail up and down my body. When they stop at my eyes, I feel my wolf stir within me. She is excited; she purrs with delight at the contact. She wants to jump into his arms and never let go. I have to do everything within my power
Meredith’s POVThe breath is knocked out of my lungs as Roman slams me down on the bed. My back makes contact with the soft mattress, and my head dangles over the edge. Roman grabs my neck, forcing me up. His hand around my neck sends tingles through my entire body, and the way he looks at me with so much intensity makes me weak in the knees.He brings his lips to my ear and whispers, “I do not care how badly you are choking. I do not care if you are about to faint or if you see death knocking right outside your door. Under no circumstances will you get my dick out of your mouth; do you understand?” I gulp, but somehow manage to nod.His minty breath fans my earlobe when he says, “I need words.”“I understand, Alpha Roman,” I choke out, and he hums. A yelp escapes my lips when he forces me to my knees. He doesn’t wait another second before forcing my mouth open and shoving his entire length down my throat.My God, I do not think I am going to survive this night. But even with this
