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
Caelen’s POV“What the fuck is that smell?” I curse as my nose scrunches up at the foul stench. I walk into the throne room with my hand over my nose. 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
Meredith's POVSpinning on my heel, I try to make a run for it, but he knocks me down in a second. My breath is knocked out of my lungs, and he flips me over. 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. But how do I
Meredith’s POV“Mer, are you even listening to me?” I snap out of my trance to find Sarah staring at me with disbelief. A sigh leaves my lips as I massage my temples slowly.“I am sorry; my mind is a bit preoccupied,” I tell her, and she purses her lips. She takes a seat beside me on the bed and looks at me with keen interest.“Well then, tell me what is going on.” She asks, and there is a brief moment of silence. Would it be okay if I revealed everything to her? I mean, she has been nothing but kind to me ever since I got here. She treats me like a normal being and not some stupid, fragile human like everyone else here.If anyone has earned my trust here, it is her. And I have to admit that I do need someone to talk to. All these cooped-up thoughts are bound to make me run mad at some point. “I have been lying to you all. I am actually a werewolf. And Alpha Roman and I are mates,” I start, and her eyebrows shoot to the top of her head.“Well, that was certainly not what I was expe
Meredith’s POVSarah walks up to me with a stack of books in her hands. The table before me jumps when she drops them with full force. “There, these are all the books likely to have anything on omegas in the library,” she says, and I stare at the stack of books with awe.I decided to learn more about being an omega. I want to know why I haven’t infected anyone here or in my entire life except Jonathan. His case was so strange, I don’t even remember what happened after he carried me up to our bedroom that day.Did we have sex? Was sex the key to unlocking the disease? If that were the case, then all three kings would be dead by now. A shiver runs up my spine at the thought of waking up one day to find all three of them in the same condition as Jonathan. That would just be traumatizing. Plus, I doubt I can hide from the wrath of two powerful kingdoms at once. Or does it have something to do with the fact that they are Lycans? Lycans are known to be far stricter than we wolves. Not
