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
ROMAN’S POVI walked past the dark halls with an even darker heart. Never in my life have I ever felt so much rage before. I just wanted to rip someone’s heart out; it’s a shame I wasn’t back in my kingdom where I could easily do it.Perhaps I need to pay a visit back home; I need to see how Max is holding up the place.It is clear that I am the only one who still remembers that he is king to a pack. The other two have clearly forgotten. With the whole drama with their mates and Meredith, I am certain they do not even remember who they are.Bloody fools.My feet come to a halt when I get that sensation at the back of my neck. My Lycan was howling in pain and sorrow again. I never told anyone this; maybe it is because I have always tried to suppress it. But ever since I marked Meredith as mine, he has claimed her fully. Everything she does, I can feel it. Every emotion she feels, I can feel it. Every single one. Whether joy, sorrow, or even pleasure.And oh, was she feeling a whole lo
MEREDITH’S POVA groan leaves my lips as I take a look around. Two heavy arms are wrapped around my stomach while two mouths breathe down either side of my neck. Caelen is lying on my left while Saul is on my right on the bed. We must have fallen asleep together after last night’s... events.A chill runs up my spine at the memories. It made me feel horny all over again. I try to get up, but the both of them hold me down with such incredible strength it leaves me petrified. I stare at the both of them, wondering if they really are asleep and sigh.“I just want to pee,” I mutter, and there is a moment of silence. Once again, I try to get up, and this time they let me go. Carefully, I hop off the bed as I do my best not to shake any of them. Although I did wonder what the point was, now I am fully convinced that they are awake.As I step into the bathroom, my eyes fall on my reflection in the mirror. My hair was a mess, but my face was at its brightest. It was not completely void of sad
MEREDITH’S POVMy heart was pounding hard before I even woke up. It was tearing against my ribcage, screaming for some form of freedom. When my eyelids finally flew apart and I was back in the real world, panic like never before coursed through my veins.What was happening? Why was everywhere so dark? Why can I not see? Have I gone blind?What happened? The last thing I remember was that old lady selling onions and then... of course.The second the realization dawned on me, a bag was suddenly lifted off my head and light pierced through my eyelids like a blade. My eyes locked with a pair of deranged ones, and instantly I was filled with much anger as well as anxiety.“General Audrey,” I say coolly, despite the pounding of my own heart. She smiles wickedly at me, and my eyes shift to the seven other vultures standing around me. They had me circled. My first instinct was to run, but that was when I realized I couldn’t. I was chained to a damn chair. I tried to fight against them, but
SAUL’S POVSomething did not feel right. My feet came to a halt as my eyelids narrowed to slits. I found myself drawn to an alley up ahead. There was a silent call coming from there, but it got louder and louder. Every fiber of my being was screaming at me to go there, but why?Subconsciously, I took a step forward. “Where the hell are you going? Come on, it’s time to go home,” Caelen’s voice snaps me out of my trance-like state. Shaking my head, I blink a couple of times before taking a look around. What was that just now? It was almost like I could hear a million voices in my head telling me to go straight to that alley.How strange! I wonder what was there.Shrugging the feeling off, I turn my attention to Caelen and mutter, “Sorry.”We started to head back home, but I couldn’t help but get this nagging feeling at the back of my neck. Once again, my feet come to a stop, and Caelen lets out a frustrated sigh. “What is it now?” he asks me, and I take another look around.“I think w
