Meredith’s POVWhere am I?Why is it so cold here?And why is it so dark?I had over a million questions as I walked through this dark abyss. There was nothing ahead and nothing behind me. Could this be a dream? It had to be; there was no place on earth that was so... void.Okay, I would really like to wake up now,” I say, rubbing my arms in order to bring myself some form of warmth. I don’t even remember at what point I had fallen asleep; the last thing I remember was Saul walking out on me after making his confession to me.He loved me more than his own mate, and that is why he rejected her.“How does it feel?”A gasp leaves my lips as my heart freezes in my chest. That voice belonged to someone I never thought I would hear from again. No. There was no way this was real. There was no way she was actually here with me.“Wont you turn around to look at me? Or does the great queen of Nuvia fear me?” she asks, and my fists clench with rage. I spin around in a second and meet her hateful
Meredith’s POVSilence.I stared deep into Roman’s eyes with disbelief as I waited for the pain to start. But it never came. That is when it dawned on me, and I didn’t bother to hide my relief as I let out a breath. “You don’t mean it,” I state, and his jaw clenches. It was clear that he knew that, and he wasn’t happy about that. He wanted to reject me, and at the same time he didn’t. Something about this moment reminds me of the day I tried to reject him, and it didn’t work because my wolf didn’t want to reject him.Could it be that his Lycan didn’t want to reject me too? It had to be; there was no better explanation. The anger and fatigue in his eyes were evident that he wasn’t happy with me, but was it enough to want to reject me? I might not feel the pain of rejection, but I felt something similar. Just how much pain was he feeling to think of rejecting me after all we have been through together?I hop off the bed and make my way up to him, but he raises his hand to stop me, an
Roman's POV I try to take a step back, but I am overtaken by surprise when she wraps her arms around my shoulders and presses a kiss to my lips. My body instantly responds to her, and I kiss her back.Her lips are just like strawberries, so sweet. My hands found their way to her hips, and I pulled her closer to me. She moans into the kiss, and my member twitches at the sound. The kiss deepens, and the back of her legs meet the edge of her table.My teeth clamp down on her bottom lip, and I pull it softly. When I let go of her, I rasp, “You have no idea how much I have missed you.”She looks up at me with those seductive eyes and says, “You are the one who waited so long; I have been waiting for you to come find me.”“Is that so?” I tease, spinning her around and causing a gasp to leave her mouth. Her palms fall flat on the table, and her ass meets my hard member through our pants. “I am going to make you wish I never did.”In a matter of seconds. I was pulling her blazer down her arm
Meredith’s POVThe second I opened my eyes, I was filled with this weird feeling in my chest. I kept getting this feeling that something was wrong. But then again, when were things ever right?Throwing my legs off the bed. I make my way out of my room and down the stairs. It seemed that was the first thing I did first thing in the morning. I wanted to lie and tell myself that I was hungry and simply looking for a snack, but it was clear that was a lie.I wanted to check on the Kings. I needed to see them. Their faces were the first thing I sought first thing in the morning and the last thing I wished to see at night.After Roman and I’s argument last night, I spent the entire night crying my eyes out. I had no idea when I had fallen asleep. I cursed myself for sleeping off. I wanted to go after him and talk to him, but I just couldn’t bring myself to move.What could I have possibly told him to ease his pain? I can't let go of Saul or Caelen; I care about them deeply. But I was hurtin
Meredith’s POVMy teeth clenched so hard I felt it might shatter. There was a tornado of emotions swirling within me, and I wanted to burst. I wanted to scream; I wanted to cry.How could he do something like this? He was with another woman last night? Of course he was. Her scent was all over him, and that damn lipstick stain. She had her hands and lips on him. She touched him. And he touched her. “Who is she?” I demanded through gritted teeth, and he dared to roll his eyes. The sound that left me was one that has never left me before. It was similar to the growl of a beast. Worry and fear flashed in Caelen and Saul’s eyes while surprise lifted Roman’s brows. I march up to Roman and block his path, and he hikes his brow at my audacity.“Don’t you dare walk away from me. I am asking you a question!” I snapped, and he looked at me with cold, hard eyes. “Who were you with?” I ask again, and he folds his arm above his chest.“If I tell you, will you sleep at night?” He seethes at night,
Meredith’s POVI knew I hated her before, but what I feel for her right now is far beyond extraordinary. I didn’t just have the urge to kill her; I had the urge to make her suffer while I took her life away from her slowly. Her scent fills my nostrils—the same scent that was on Roman this morning. A part of me had hoped this wasn’t true, and that Roman was only saying that just to get on my nerves.Which he succeeded in doing, might I add?But now that her scent was all over the place, it was all over him; it had to be true. My canines lengthened, and I craved for her blood. My growl was menacing, but it only seemed to amuse the bitch.“Oh my. You seem quite crossed with me,” she chuckles, and the sound is the most irritating thing I have ever heard. It felt as though my blood had been set ablaze. She places her finger on her chin and pretends to be in deep thought. “Oh, don’t tell me you are angry about last night. My bad, I just couldn’t resist that hunk of a mate you have. He was
Meredith’s POVMy knees meet my chest as I lean against the wall. A drop of water touches my skin, and another, and another.Now it is full of rain. But I didn’t move a muscle. I couldn’t.Where would I even go?Tears well up in my eyes and fall down my cheeks, mixing with the rain that drenched my body. A sob wracks my throat as I press my head to my knees and cry my eyes out. I hated how weak I was. I hated how I was crying over something that should be considered trivial. But it isn’t.It hurts so much.Everything hurts.I couldn’t stand up to the bitch that had her hands all over my mate. How the hell am I supposed to stand up for my people? I really am pathetic.I do not know how long I stay beneath the rain in this dark, lonely alley. I do not know how long I cried or how long this pain enveloped my heart. A part of me wished for someone to come find me. A part of me desperately wished I had a friend to talk to. The last friend I had was Sarah, and well, we all know how that we
Caelen’s POVGod only knows where Meredith had gone off to yesterday. Last night was not pretty at all. I can’t remember the last time I had a confrontation with my brothers until last night. I and Saul had a little head-to-head with Roman. The second Meredith walked out crying, and let us just say that it didn’t exactly end well.I massage the bruise on my chin before shooting Roman a heated glare. He pressed an ice pack to his bruised temple, and my eyes trailed down to the bruises on his torso.Saul was the one who had sustained the most injuries. The second I stepped in to stop them from killing each other, Saul let his guard down, and Roman just had to use the opportunity to strike Saul on the head, knocking him out cold. He is going to wake up with a nasty bruise and a maddening headache.If this had happened under normal circumstances, I would have found our little fight quite comical. But there was nothing funny about last night at all. The three of us have never been so fur
