Meredith’s POV

Silence.

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

    Saul’s POVA groan leaves my lips as my eyelids flutter open. The second they do a blinding, it penetrates my eyelids and nearly leaves me blind.“Ah fuck!” I curse as a sharp pain strikes my entire head. What the hell is happening to me?With groggy eyes, I rub my hands over my eyes and gently massage my temple. That is when I realized that my head was wrapped in a bandage. What the hell?“Great, you are awake.” Roman’s voice infiltrates my ears, and instantly the memories come flooding back in. A growl rumbles off my chest as my livid eyes fly open to lock with his. He was getting ready to step out with the way he was adjusting his collar and giving his outfit a once-over.I can’t believe that I got knocked out again by this bastard. Why do I always get knocked out? How the hell have I gotten so weak? Ever since I woke up from that coma, my body had become so weak. I need to get stronger. Although I have always known from the very beginning that I am weaker than Roman, never in a m

    MEREDITH’S POVI place a hand over my chest as warmth spreads across my heart. This was the last thing I had expected to see after the day I just had. I was a bit skeptical about returning here; I thought the tension would be suffocating. I almost started to consider staying with Theia and Melina in the meantime, but I knew deep down I couldn’t do that.I can't keep running away from my problems. I need to learn to stand firm and face my problems head-on. I wasn’t born or raised by a coward.I thought I would be walking into a war zone and not a beautifully decorated living room with streamers, balloons and a cake. I was almost driven to tears of joy until I noticed the bandage on Saul’s forehead, which made me frown.“What happened to your head?” I asked, and he blinked away his shock. When I walked in, I could have sworn I heard him speaking to someone. But there is no one here. Maybe it was just a figment of my imagination.He shakes his head as though he was trying to snap out of

    “Our kingdom has gone through trialing times this past year. We have lost so many of our people, family members, friends, and loved ones. This year will go down in history, and it shall be the last of its kind. A time like this will never step foot into the borders of Nuvia. Enemies tried to rule us; they tried to tear us down, but they couldn’t. Because we are strong. We are not like any other pack; we each have a fighting spirit so unique that has been placed within us. As Queen and Luna of the Nuvia kingdom, I swear to never turn my back on my kingdom ever again, even if it is for just a second. We, not just I, will learn from the mistakes made this year so they never happen again. We will rise from the ashes; we will become stronger, and if anyone tries to destroy this kingdom ever again, even after my reign, we will destroy them from the inside out instead.”Cheers, whistles, and praise filled the air as I concluded my speech. I stared at each and every Nuvian present; it was al

    MEREDITH’S POVA gasp leaves my lips as I fill my lungs with oxygen. My eyelids come flying open, and my eyes lock with a pair of familiar sea blue eyes and honey brown eyes.“Welcome back to the living princess,” Saul says, and tears of joy well up in my eyes.“That’s queen to you,” I correct, and the both of them share a glance before chuckling at me. I jump to my feet to wrap both of them in a hug, but my feet wobble, and I lose my footing. Luckily, I land in Caelen’s arms, and he helps to steady me. “Easy now, queen. You just had quite an accident there. You might suffer from a concussion soon,” he says, pointing to my damaged car that is now lying in a ditch. What the hell? How did I even survive that?My eyes travel downwards to inspect my body for injuries. And surprisingly, there was none. But why did I have this burning pain all over? Like I was being beaten over and over again?When the realization dawns on me, my heart plummets to the pit of my stomach.My grip on Caelen’s

    ROMAN’S POVI really am an asshole.This isn’t turning out the way I wanted. I thought that now that Meredith’s memories have been wiped out, I can finally have a brand-new chance to make things right. I thought I could fill her with stories that would benefit me.What a fool I was.The girl didn’t even trust me. She knew when I was lying and when I was telling the truth. She was my mate; she knew when I was telling the truth and when I was lying. It didn’t matter if she had lost her memories or not.That damn bond between us was always going to give me away. And my God, was she persistent. Since she didn’t believe me, she was doing everything within her power to uncover the truth. And at this rate, she was going to find out sooner than I would like. A sigh leaves my lips as I run my hand through my hair. Why did she have to be so damn persistent and go wondering around? But then again, I should have known better than to keep Lucia’s body in the same building as Meredith.I should h

    MEREDITH’S POVRoman was still sound asleep. He looked so peaceful while he slept, I could stare at him sleep all day. He was even more beautiful while asleep, his features were a lot more relaxed and prominent. And who would have thought he had such incredibly long eyelashes. Lucky.Focus Meredith!It takes a lot of strength, but I manage to tear my eyes away from him. careful not to wake him; I get out of bed as quietly as possible. I do a mini-victory dance once I am out of bed, then tip toe out of the room. My teeth clamp down on my bottom lip as I open the door slowly.My heart nearly flies out of my mouth when the door makes a creak. I shoot Roman a glimpse over my shoulder and say a silent prayer when I see that he is still sound asleep. Finally, I get the door open wide enough to slip out.I make sure to shut the door gently before pumping my fist in the air. Ah, yes, freedom at last. I do another victory dance once again but freeze when I see some maids down the hall starin

    MEREDITH’S POVA chill runs up my spine, and I let out a breath through my lips. A mist forms and quickly disappears before my eyes. Every breath I let out, I would see it in the form of a mist. There wasn’t a form of light in this cold, dark room. The only light came from the moon’s gaze slipping through the cracks of a barely opened window. I could tell that I was still in the palace; I do not know how, but I just did. I dared to peek out the window, and my thoughts were confirmed once my eyes locked with the palace gates.But this room... Roman had taken me on a tour around the palace, but this room... I never saw this room. I spun around in a circle, noting the dust, cobwebs, and spiders that filled the room. But what caught my attention was the coffin placed at the center of the room. Surprisingly, it was the only thing in the room that wasn’t covered in dust. It was still clean and shiny, like it had just been recently placed there.I knew I should run; I wanted to. Because wh

    MEREDITH’S POV“It is a pleasure to have you back with us, Luna.”Remember your lines! Remember your lines!Presently, I am in a meeting with the newly elected council member of my pack. Roman was seated by my right hand while I was seated at the head of the table. Where I ought to be. The council consisted of seven members, each seated according to their ranks and roles. After waking up yesterday and having Roman fill me in on the things he felt were important for me to remember, I instantly passed out again. I suppose I was having a storage overload and needed time to actually process everything. When I woke up, an entire night had already passed, and I was already getting ready to attend a meeting I knew nothing about. I stared at myself in the mirror for the longest time, trying to recognize the woman that stood before me in this fancy gown and heavy jewelry. Roman came in shortly after dressed in an all-black suit with a gold cross around his neck and a gold watch on his wris

    MEREDITH’S POVMy goodness, I felt quite sore all over.My lips part to release a tired yawn. Goodness, I was so tired. And I was quite hungry too. It feels like I haven’t eaten in days, but I know I ate just yesterday. But what did I eat?” I do not remember. Come to think of it, where did I eat, and what is my favorite food? What was yesterday? There was nothing but questions that filled my head. Questions that didn’t have an answer. How strange.Slowly my eyelids peel open, and I am met with a pretty chandelier. I stare at it for some time before finally sitting up. A groan leaves my lips as I stretch my legs. This bed was quite comfy, was it mine? I do not even know. My eyes dart in every direction, and I am filled with more questions. Like, where am I? And whose room is this? Was it mine or was it someone else’s?So many questions...Throwing my legs off the edge of the bed, I rise to my feet but stumble a bit. “Woah,” I mutter as I try to find my balance. Once I do, I twirl ar

  • OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS   CHAPTER 155: TRUST, LOYALTY AND LOVE

    ROMAN’S POVI stare at Meredith’s unconscious body with a blank face. That is one thing I was blessed with. I could be dying of pain, and my face would still be this way. Hard as stone and cold as ice. Tears still spilled out of her shut eyes, and the sight of them did something to me.I can’t believe that this was actually happening. I just hope that she will find it in her heart to forgive me someday. But this... all of this was just for her. I hope she will get to see it.A loud cackle snaps me out of my thoughts, and my head tilts to Lucia, who had her head tilted back as she laughed wholly. “Oh, what a glorious day! This has to be one of the best days of my life. I remember meeting you for the first time, and you swore to defeat me. You had so much hatred and determination set in your heart, but where has that gotten you now? Absolutely nowhere!” She laughs in Meredith’s sleeping face, and my eyelid twitches. She was way too close to Meredith for comfort. Her lips were barely a

    MEREDITH’S POVFight! Get up! Move! Do something!These were the words that constantly sang repeatedly in my mind. But my body wouldn’t respond. I can’t believe that the moment Lucia told me to sleep, my body just did so without wasting a second. How was that even possible?I was awake, but my eyes wouldn't open. I was well aware of what was happening around me, but from a distance. Once again, my soul had left my body and watched the entire scene play out before me with a broken heart.I can’t believe that Roman has been helping Lucia all along. I thought that he had been with her the other night just to spite me. But going as far as stabbing his own brothers and helping her take over my kingdom was something I never would have imagined, not even in my wildest dreams. This... this was absolutely unforgiveable. Roman clothed my naked body before any of the vultures could come in before doing the same for himself. Once he was fully dressed, he asked Lucia, “What do you mean she will
