last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

Meredith’s POV

My question is answered immediately when I see the person standing behind him. Gwen.

She told him.

That bitch!

She has a sly smirk on her lips before she says, ‘I warned you’. She disappears down the hall, leaving me alone with the furious alpha before me.

Roman picks me up by the neck, instantly cutting off my air supply. He brings his lips to my ears, and his words send unpleasant shivers down my spine.

“You know what I hate more than witches? It’s a lying one that thinks she can take me for a fool.”

"Roman, please let me explain,” I croak as his grip on my throat tightens.

“Silence!” he snaps in my face. He leads me down the hall, and I am barely able to keep up with his long strides. I stumble a few times, but his grip on my neck won’t give me a chance to recover.

I find myself in an unfamiliar part of the palace. The lighting is dim, and something about the whole place just gives off an eerie aura.

My gaze falls on two guards standing in front of a metal door. T

    Meredith’s POVI always imagined myself dying at an old age in my sleep. I never would have imagined that itwould be in the hands of a lunatic at such a young age. The wheels in my head spin faster than they ever have before, as I think of a lie. “I had to go say goodbye to someone. An old friend of mine that worked in the same mansion as I did under my master,” I lie, and Saul tilts his head to the side.“I admire you; you know that?” he says, and his words confuse me. until he says, “You witnessed me torture a man to death, yet you still have the guts to lie to my face.”I shrink back, pressing myself further into the wall, even though I know it is no use. “I am not lying.”“You are,” he says simply, taking a step back. “How did you even get out? I am curious.” There is true intrigue and curiosity in his eyes as he awaits my response. “I climbed up that oak tree and jumped to the other side,” I admit, and he shakes his head, amusement trickling in his eyes.“You mean the one I ca

    Her friends squeal with excitement, but Gwen doesn’t seem shocked at all; she looks like she was expecting it. Her eyes meet mine, and I look away instantly, trying to act like I didn’t care even though it was killing me inside.She leaves the room with the maid, and I do not know why I have this urge to scream my lungs out.“Hello? Earth to Meredith?!” Sarah calls out, and my cheeks heat up in embarrassment. I totally zoned out on her.“I am sorry.”“You haven’t been acting like yourself for some time; tell me what the problem is,” she says, and my heart warms at the genuine concern in her eyes. Maybe having someone to talk to will ease off all this tension I feel...So I tell her everything from the moment I escaped that night and got caught by Gwen. Sadly, I did not tell her the truth about where I actually went and instead told her the lie I told Saul. Then I tell her how Roman dragged me to Saul and what happened in the torture room.“You have no idea how lucky you are,” she s

    Roman’s POVTEN MINUTES EARLIER“You are a damn fool.” I said to Saul, shaking my head in annoyance and pushing myself off my chair. Pacing the board room, I drag my hands down my face in frustration.“You actually believed that crap? How dumb can you be, Saul?” Caelen asks him, and Saul rolls his eyes.“Of course I did not believe her. but I saw it in her eyes; she wouldn’t have talked if I had tortured it out of her. She is strong, and I believe what she is hiding is something far greater than what we are thinking,” he says, and his words only piss me off more.Baring my teeth and clenching my fists, I say, “Then why the hell did you let her go? You let a possible threat roam the palace. We don’t even know what she is looking for; what if she finds it and screws us over because of it? Goddamn it, do you even think about it? To think you would have learned your lesson after what happened last time.”Saul clenches his fists, and I see that fire light up in his eyes. I seem to have tou

    Saul’s POVThose damn bastards.Who the hell did they think they were going to talk to me like that anyway? They think I have grown soft for that girl. Never. I have my reasons for doing what I did, and if they can't understand it, then they might as well screw it off.The woman beneath me moans loudly as I thrust in and out of her furiously. She grips the sheets tightly as she arcs her back, opening her ass up more for me to infiltrate her. The more she moans, the more annoyed I get.A groan of frustration leaves my chest, and I spank her ass loudly, causing her to yell in surprise.“Be quiet, damn it!” I order, and she bites her bottom lip to keep it shut. But even then, she would let out a few moans and whimpers here and there.I continue to thrust in and out of her, hoping to get some sort of relief, but I don’t. Sighing with annoyance, I slip out of her and tuck my member into my pants. Hopping off the bed, I grab a bottle of tequila from my nightstand and take a big gulp out of

My eyes fall on the tarps on the floor, and my question is instantly answered.My guards called me from my room, saying that there was something I urgently had to see. And now I see what it is.Three dead bodies.I walk up to the first body and unveil the corpse. Another curse leaves my lips when I see who it is. I unveil the other two, and it is just as I thought. That goddamn bitch. I swear I am going to make her death the most painful anyone has ever had to endure on this earth.“Call the kings; tell them we have a meeting. Now.” I order the guard standing next to me."Yes, your majesty!” he says soundly, bowing and then taking his leave. I pace around the bodies, dragging my hand down my face as I try to keep my anger at bay. The day I get my hands on that bitch’s throat, I swear I am going to snap it. Never in my life did I thi

    Meredith’s POVIt’s been quiet. Too quiet.I have seen neither the hide nor the skin of any of the kings. Ever since Roman and I’s rather uncivilized previous meeting and my little training session with Saul, I have not seen any of them since then. It has been three days.I swore to do everything within my power to avoid Roman. It is painful enough that we live under the same roof; I can't even stand to breathe the same air as him. I don’t know what I have done to have him as my mate. What a cruel punishment from the moon goddess, if I am to be honest. All he ever does is inflict pain on me and take away the little things that manage to bring me joy.Aside from the fact that we are mates, I wonder how he could leave a helpless girl out in the hallway completely naked like that. Just what is the depth of his cruelty?What could have happened if Maxwell hadn’t arrived when he did? What if someone had taken advantage of me? Would he have cared? I highly doubt that.And to think I was

He gets down on his knees and straddles my waist.I let out a scream as I tried to fight him off, but he took both of my wrists into one of his big hands. “Stop! Let go of me!” I scream at the top of my lungs, hoping that someone will hear me. but there doesn’t appear to be any sign of anyone nearby.Why didn’t I just stay in the library? Why do I always manage to end up in trouble?He starts to undo the buttons on his jeans, and another scream escapes my lips when his manhood springs free. Tears sting my eyes as he rides up my dress and tears my underwear.Is this really going to happen? Am I seriously going to get raped?Marco seals my lips with his as his fingers find their way to my folds. Bile rises within my throat, and I let out the contents of my breakfast into his mouth.Instantly, he tears his lips away from mine and

    Roman’s POVIt actually didn’t work.Her rejection actually didn’t work.This only means I was right all along; she was never my mate. True to her words, I do feel something whenever she is close by, but that is only because she is a witch. I cannot deny that there is a huge part of me that does not believe that.But it is not possible for her to be my mate. Edna died years ago, and second-chance mates weren’t real. They were nothing but myths. And even if there was a slight possibility that it was real, I did not want someone like Meredith as my mate. She was in no way compared to Edna. Meredith will never be able to take Edna’s place in my heart, and that is because Edna took that very same heart with her to the grave.I pace my office, trying to shake her off my mind. I have better things to do than worry about a woman. I need to find a way to stop my businesses from crashing and my spies from getting killed. I need to find that damn mole and rip out their throat.

    “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

    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
