Meredith's POV I feel… strange.Like I wasn't in my own body. The last place I remember falling asleep was in my room and in Caelen's arms. How did I get to this pool?My ears pick up on some of the women’s conversations, and I have never felt such an urge to shut someone up. Permanently.What? Where did that come from?It felt as though those were my thoughts but… why would I think of that?“I do not know what the kings see in her; she isn’t even that hot.”“Not to mention she is a dirty human. They are going to end up killing her; you just watch; she isn’t going to survive a week here.”A sigh leaves my lips as I open my eyes. The first thing I see is Gwen leaving the water. Why the hell is she so close to me?My eyes widened in realization. This is a memory of mine.Her minions walk up to her with a towel, and I count down the seconds with my fingers, hoping she would leave as soon as possible because her presence alone angers me. But I blew a fuse at her next move.She flips he
Meredith’s POVReflect to know who I really am? “What do you mean by that? Who are you and what is this place?” I ask and instead of giving me a verbal response, the darkness clears up and I am standing in the middle of a hallway.“You disgusting bitch!”“Um, excuse you?” “Don’t worry, I promise you are going to enjoy this.”I feel his tip inches away from my entrance, and my entire body struggles to get free. No, this cannot be happening to me!“Stop it!” I scream once again, but this time louder than before, lacing all of my pain and hurt into my voice.I shut my eyes, awaiting my fate, but the next thing I hear is the snapping of bones, followed by a thud next to me. Slowly, I open my eyes, and they connect with those of a raging alpha.Roman.Marco is lying by my side with his head at an unusual angle. He is dead.“Thank-““Stop it,” he cuts me off. His fists clench, and the rage in his eyes is immense. I am about to ask what he means by that, but he carries on talking. “I was s
Meredith's POV “What's the whole point of this? I remember everything that happened! I don't need to relive it!” I yell, hoping that the mystical spirit would hear me.But I am left with no response. Good God, my head was starting to hurt.Max.He looks at me with so much sadness that I almost want to ask him not to. But I couldn't even muster up the strength to speak.He says something inaudible beneath his ear before taking out a key from his pocket. He unlocks my cage, and my body falls on him instantly.“Alright, little one. I think you have been through more than enough,” he says before scooping me in his arms and taking me out of the hell hole I pray to never enter again.“Thank you,” I managed to whisper. I don't even know if he heard me because he didn't say a thing after that. He walks into another room and places me gently on the bed. I hear him shuffle around before returning to my side of the bed. He helps me sit up and brings something to my lips.Water.It is as thoug
Meredith's POV “Strip,” he orders. My heart feels a bit heavy due to the fact that I wanted this to be Caelen. His growl snaps me out of my thoughts, indicating that he does not appreciate me wasting time. I get on my knees and do as I am told.My eyes remain glued to his as I take off my robe and lingerie. I didn’t know that it was possible, but his eyes darkened even more once I took off my pants. He stalks up to me and grabs my chin, forcing me to look up at him.“You are beautiful.”My heart seems to have forgotten how to function after hearing those words. The way he said them with so much meaning, it warmed my heart. Tingles shoot through my body as he gropes my breast. He squeezes them softly, and my eyes nearly roll to the back of my head when he starts to fiddle with my nipple. He puts two fingers into my mouth to shut me up, but I only end up swirling my tongue around them.“Fuck!” he curses and the next thing I know I am being pushed down on the bed. He gets on top of me
Meredith's POV Am I going to be trapped in my own mind forever? Or was it the spirit's mind?I really don't know. All I knew was I had to get out of here. I have relived almost every memory since I met the kings. What more could there possibly be?“Alright spirit! That's all the memories. Can I go home now?”I clearly couldn't see as the scene changed once again.The groan that left my lips was un-lady like.I was now standing in a cave. A cave? When was I ever in a cave?My eyes widen when the memory finally comes flooding back.It was on the first day I met the kings. “Marco, is this little creature the one that ran off with a kilo of ham?” the bronze-skinned man asks. His voice is calm as he speaks, yet so menacing. It sends a wave of fear through my body and has me trembling.“Yes, alpha Caelen. I watched her make a run for it. I would have followed her, but I knew it was not wise to leave the site unprotected,” the less attractive one says.“I say we kill her,” the blonde one
Meredith’s POVA gasp leaves my lips as I shoot up to a sitting position. Desperately, I fill my lungs with air as I take in my surroundings. Where am I now? Is this another memory? My shoulders slouch and a breath of relief leaves my lips when I see Caelen sleeping next to me. His soft snores filled the room, and I try to remember if there was any point in our lives we were ever in this position.There wasn’t.This is real. I am in the present.Thank goodness.What the hell was that? Was it a vision? Or is it a dream? I know it happened while I was asleep, but it most certainly did not feel like a dream. It felt like I was reliving everything that had happened to me since I met the triad. But why? And who the hell had that voice that spoke to me? It most definitely had to be a spirit. I was certain that I had never heard a voice like that before in my life. And what was it he... or was it a she said? I don’t even know what gender that manner of voice belonged to.I tried to recoll
Meredith’s POVMy tears were never ending. It was as though whenever I would try to hold back my tears, the more of them I would shed. My chest felt so tight, I couldn’t breathe. I choked on my sobs, and my heart pounded so hard against my rib cage that I thought that it would shatter it.I can’t believe what I had done earlier today. The more I think about it, the more I want to rip my hair off my scalp.I had no idea what had come over me back then. The last time I felt such intense rage was when Reid informed me of my father’s death. But it wasn’t just rage; it was grief and regret. But today what I felt wasn’t just rage either; it was mixed with hurt and this urge to get revenge. However, I did realize something in both scenarios: my mind and body did not belong to me after that. This might sound strange, but it was as though I had no control over my body in any way; it felt like I was possessed. But who would ever believe me?I saw the looks everyone had given me, even Roman.
Saul’s POVI refused to believe what I was hearing.It can't be true; I can only hope that these were nothing more than pure rumors. It has to be.Because there was no way Meredith would nearly kill one of the people she is fighting so hard for out of rage. And assaulting an elderly woman? It almost sounds like they were talking about Roman and not Meredith. The Meredith I knew was an angel; she would never willingly hurt a soul... unless they deserved it. And I am pretty sure an innocent young girl and an elderly woman.“She is not just some ordinary girl, you know?” I am snapped out of my thoughts at the sound of Audrey’s voice. We were in bed together when she was telling me about what happened in town earlier today; I just couldn’t believe it. “Who is she?” I ask her. I just hope that I am right and that she was some sort of sick child murderer that deserved to die. It is the only way or something similar that could get Meredith that way.“She is the mate of your brother, Caelen
