Meredith’s POV

I have never beheld such beauty before in my entire life.

The three men that surrounded me stood tall, but only two of them gave me a chilling aura.

The one who had spoken has icy blue eyes piercing right through my soul. A few strands of strawberry blond hair fall above them, making him appear even more handsome.

He has on a white shirt that is folded up by the sleeves. We are in the middle of the woods, and there is not even a speck of dirt on his shirt. And judging by the state of their camp site, I could tell that they have been here for a while.

His expression is cold, almost unreadable. The way his icy eyes pin me to the spot has a shiver running down my spine.

The second man is bronze-skinned and has eyes that remind me of honey.

His muscular and tall physique nearly has me salivating. He has on a black tank top that shows off his impressive torso, along with black cargo pants and boots.

He looks down at me with his eyebrows a bit furrowed. Curiosity and interest swirl within his brown eyes.

The third man is not as attractive as the first two. He has a bow and arrow in his hands and looks more roughed up than the first two. He has on what I can swear to be some sort of uniform.

He does not give off the aura the others do. If I were to place a bet, I would say he is their servant. When the blond man speaks to him, it only confirms my thoughts.

“Marco, is this little creature the one that ran off with a kilo of ham?” the bronze-skinned man asks. His voice is calm as he speaks, yet so menacing.

It sends a wave of fear through my body and has me trembling.

“Yes, Alpha Caelen. I watched her make a run for it. I would have followed her, but I knew it was not wise to leave the site unprotected,” the less attractive one says.

“I say we kill her,” the blond one says passively.

Instantly, I get on my knees before the blond one.

“I am so sorry. I was just so hungry, and I had no cash on me, so I-“

“Shut up!” he snaps, and my lips seal shut.

It was like my body obeyed him before my brain did. The way he spoke with so much authority and assertiveness, he is most definitely an Alpha.

“Don’t ever speak unless you are spoken to; do you understand?” he asks, and I nod. “You can use your words now.”

“Yes, I understand.”

I feel his eyes scale up and down my body before he asks, “What are you anyway? I can't sense your wolf.”

My lips parted, but I instantly shut my mouth.

What am I doing? I can't tell him I am an omega; if I do, they will kill me for sure.

What should I do?

“I am human,” I blurt out.

A menacing growl fills the air, and I feel my heart pound wildly against my chest. It came from the blond one. Did he know I was lying? Was he angry about it?

Is he going to kill me?

“What the hell is a human doing out here stealing ham?” he asks.

The wheels on my head spin faster than they ever have. I need to think of a believable lie, or I am going to get killed!

“I-I just got thrown out by my uncle—no, I mean parents—and I had nowhere else to go, so I just found myself here.”

I am so dead.

I manage to peer up at him, and he does not look even a little bit impressed.

“Give me one reason why I should not kill you right now,” he says, and I watch his eyes turn a devilish shade of black.

The white in his eyes completely disappears and is replaced with the hunger and bloodlust of a beast. His teeth lengthen until they turn into canines.

He takes a step toward me, and I scurry back to put enough distance between the both of us.

A devilish smile lifts the corner of his lips, and I swear he looks like a demon that just crawled out of hell.

“Or better yet, why don’t I hand you over to my men? I am sure they would love to have some fun with you. Isn’t that right, Marco?”

Marco grins, his hungry eyes shifting toward me.

“I would love that, your majesty.”

His eyes trail down my body with lust, and a disgusted shiver goes up my spine. The thought of Marco and more of his kind having their way with me made me want to throw up.

I swallow the bile that has risen within my throat, and the blond guy laughs coldly.

“Calm down; you are scaring the poor thing.”

I want to beg them to have mercy on me, but it suddenly feels like something is shifting within me. I feel uneasy—hunger, to be precise.

But not for food, for someone. My nose goes wild as it picks up a scent so sweet and so arousing. I need to find out where it is coming from.

Or rather, who it is coming from.

The hair on my neck stands out.

Someone is coming.

I can feel them heading toward me. I could trace his steps long before my ears or eyes could. What is happening to me? Am I hallucinating? I do not think so.

Something in me is screaming at me to run in the direction of the person coming, but I do not.

There is something about him that makes my body weak, like it has forgotten how to move.

"Well, look who has decided to join the party,” the blond guy says before stepping aside.

When my eyes lift to meet the most beautiful pair I have ever seen, I am unable to control the gasp that escapes my lips. The person standing before me cannot be considered a man; he is a pure God.

His aura radiates power and death.

He is the tallest of all of them. His skin is covered in tattoos, which makes him even more menacing. His hair is the darkest I have ever seen; it is darker than night.

When our eyes lock, a voice I have never heard before speaks within me.

Mate!

Wait, what?

There is no way this handsome devil incarnate is my mate. The way he looks down on me with eyes void of emotion only proves that.

No, he looks at me like a predator would their prey.

I shrink back.

“What is going on here, Saul?”

His voice alone sends shivers through my whole body. I have never heard one quite like it. It sounds foreign yet familiar; there is a bit of Italian and British mixed in his accent.

His voice is very deep yet silky, like velvet.

“This pathetic human stole some of our food. We caught her taking a nice little nap here; now we are trying to figure out what to do with her,” the blond one, whose name I have learned is Saul, says.

Oh no, he just called me a human!

If this man really felt the mate bond between us, he would certainly tell his colleagues, and then they would definitely kill me for sure.

Or even worse, they will find out that I am an omega and then kill me.

Honestly, this could only end in one way, and that’s death.

My heart goes wild in my chest as a bead of sweat slides down the side of my face. I wait for my mysterious yet handsome mate to say something, but he doesn’t.

I do not know why, but his silence terrifies me even more.

I look up to find his cold, demonic eyes glaring down at me. tearing my gaze away from his, I gulp.

His voice fills my ears as he asks, “Is that so?”

My heart drops to the pit of my stomach when I feel a hand grab the back of my neck. For a split second, it feels like there is a rush of electricity through my body.

And the next second, I am gasping for air as I am being lifted off the floor.

The other men watch the scene with widened eyes, but my terrified ones remain solely focused on the demon glaring up at me with murder in his gaze.

“What are you really here for? And do not even think of lying, or I guarantee that I will snap your neck.”

My body trembles as I struggle for air.

My legs kick out, desperately searching for some form of earth to steady myself. My hands claw at his hand around my neck, but his grip doesn’t waver.

I do not know how I manage to speak, but I still manage to.

“I swear, I am just lost,” I wheeze out as I struggle for breath. My eyes sting with tears, and my vision blurs. “Please, do not kill me. Please!”

There is not a hint of emotion in his eyes as I feel myself slowly losing consciousness. Dark dots taint my vision as a single thought comes into my mind.

There is no way this man is my mate.

Just when I feel as though my body is about to succumb to the darkness, he lets go of me. I release a yelp as my ass meets the dirt. My hands wrap around my neck as I fill my lungs with oxygen.

I end up having a coughing fit as I try to regain myself.

I can't believe it; he didn’t kill me! Maybe he really is my mate.

“Take her away and sell her to those slave collectors; I am sure she will make a nice whore at some dive bar brothel.”

My blood runs cold as his words register in my head. My head snaps up, and I watch him walk away with Saul and the bronze-skinned god.

Without thinking, I lunge towards him and grab his ankle. My mate stops, and I hear a growl rumble off his chest, but I still do not let go of him.

“No, please!” I do not know what gets over me when I say, “I would rather offer myself to you guys instead. I will serve you all in all my capacity.”

The bronze-skinned guy raises a brow, and amusement swirls within Saul’s eyes.

My mate spins around slowly; there is not even a hint of emotion on his face. His expression remains blank and hard; it makes me wonder what is going on in his mind.

“And why the hell would we agree to such a thing? Do you really think that we do not have enough women swimming around us?” The bronze-skinned god asks, and I am unable to think of a reply.

Instead, I say, “Please, do not do this to me.”

Saul chuckles and crouches beside me. The smile on his face is mocking and filled with so much mischief that it is absolutely terrifying.

“You have no idea what you are asking for, do you? Only an idiot would pledge herself to men like us.”

I part my lips to say something, but I swear the growl that escapes my mate’s chest shakes the very ground beneath us. His furious gaze is directed at Marco.

“What the hell are you doing standing there? I said, take her away!”

Marco instantly springs to action: “Yes, Alpha Roman.”

Alpha Roman, so that is the name of this devil.

Marco picks me up from the floor, but I struggle against him.

No, this cannot be happening.

I cannot be sold to slavers; they will most definitely find out I am an omega and hand me over to the Wolffian Council. I will be thrown into the gallows and subjected to a lifetime of horror until I am dead.

No, I would rather be at the mercy of these three.

Tears spill from my eyes like two streams.

“No, please, don’t. I will do anything for you all; just please don’t!”

Marco starts pulling me away from them, but I continue to beg for my life.

“Wait.”

The weight on my chest lifts when Saul speaks.

He walks up to me, and the look in his eyes suggests that I am not going to like what is about to go down.

“You would do anything for us, huh?”

I nod.

“Then get naked.”

    Meredith’s POV I blink up at him, wondering if I had heard him correctly. Roman has a deep scowl on his face when he asks, “What do you think you are doing, Saul?”The grin on Saul’s lips is evil and filled with so many mysteries. Mysteries that I am certain I do not want to uncover. "Oh, come on, Roman - look at her. I have never seen a more desperate creature before in my entire life! She says she is willing to do anything; aren’t you a little bit curious to see how far she could go?”The way he speaks about me, like I am not even here, is quite humiliating.

    Meredith’s POVMarco’s grip on my arm is harsh as he leads me to God knows where. I take the time to gawk at the majestic paintings that hang on the crystal-white walls. Most of it was off landscapes and skies; a few of them were of people I do not know but none of them was one of the three kings. How strange.It makes me wonder: how exactly are there three kings ruling one kingdom? There is so much mystery about this place, and I cannot wait to uncover it all.My eyes fall on a woman standing at the end of the hall. The stoic look on her face suggests that she has not had a good laugh in ages. She appears to be somewhere in her forties; her black hair has a few gray strands that are tied up in a tight bun. It lays much emphasis on her rather large forehead. The lines in the corner of her head show that she has spent most of her life frowning rather than smiling. I suppose it explains why her dark brown eyes are void of emotion.“Here she is, ma’am. The king’s new girl.”The woman

    Meredith’s POVAll three alphas are seated in armchairs facing the bed. Saul has his usual evil smirk with mischief twinkling in his eyes. Caelen, as always, is filled with curiosity and excitement. And of course, Alpha Roman, with absolutely no expression on his face, remains stoic as always. “Are you ready, little one?” Saul asks me, and I bite my bottom lip. I do not think I will ever be ready, but I might as well get this over with. So, I nod.“You look a lot better now. You are actually very pretty when you don’t have dirt on your face and try to steal our food,” Caelen remarks, and Saul chuckles. My smile is nervous, and I do not know whether to take that as a compliment or not. My gaze shifts to Roman, but he does not utter a word.Rather, his eyes trail up and down my body. When they stop at my eyes, I feel my wolf stir within me. She is excited; she purrs with delight at the contact. She wants to jump into his arms and never let go. I have to do everything within my power

    Meredith’s POVThe breath is knocked out of my lungs as Roman slams me down on the bed. My back makes contact with the soft mattress, and my head dangles over the edge. Roman grabs my neck, forcing me up. His hand around my neck sends tingles through my entire body, and the way he looks at me with so much intensity makes me weak in the knees.He brings his lips to my ear and whispers, “I do not care how badly you are choking. I do not care if you are about to faint or if you see death knocking right outside your door. Under no circumstances will you get my dick out of your mouth; do you understand?” I gulp, but somehow manage to nod.His minty breath fans my earlobe when he says, “I need words.”“I understand, Alpha Roman,” I choke out, and he hums. A yelp escapes my lips when he forces me to my knees. He doesn’t wait another second before forcing my mouth open and shoving his entire length down my throat.My God, I do not think I am going to survive this night. But even with this

    Meredith’s POV“The kings have a favorite?” I ask, and Sarah nods in confirmation. I do not know how to feel about that. “You mean all three of them favor Gwen most out of all the women here?” “Not exactly,” she pauses, like there is something she wants to tell me but thinks against it. “All three of them are the most called to the red room. I suppose it is because they have the best bodies out of all of us here.”“Oh, I see.” I trail off. A twinge of jealousy plagues my heart, but I do my best to dismiss it. So what if that girl has a better body than me, and the trio would love to have her more? Why should I care? Maybe it is because my mate is among the triad. I cannot help but wonder: does he actually like her, or does he just go along because his brothers enjoy her?I suppose that is a question I might most likely never get an answer to.“Aside from that, life in the harem is actually pretty sweet. Everything you can ever need is here, and you will hardly ever get bored,” Sara

But how? I feel no pain.Slowly, I lift my gaze, and a scream leaves my lips.Johnathan’s lifeless eyes are staring right at me. He has blood spilling out of his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. His skin is completely pale, and the veins on his neck are a bright shade of blue.“Meredith, what have you done?”That voice.My blood freezes as my father’s voice fills my ears. He is standing by the doorway with horror mixed with disappointment swirling within his eyes.“No, papa, wait. It’s not what you think!” I scream as I jump off the bed to run to him.“You killed him,” my father says, and I shake my head in denial. My eyes sting with tears as I watch someone shive my father down to his knees. My father-in-law, Johnathan’s father.His face is a bright shade of red; there is so much rage in his eyes, a

It is risky, and the kings might kill me if I am caught, but damn it, I have to see my father and be sure my dreams are actually just dreams.We arrive at the red room, and the maid spins around to face me. She looks at me with pity in her eyes, and I feel pity for her too. But my excitement is greater. I know this may sound sick, but I actually look forward to my sessions with the kings.“Good luck,” the maid says, taking me off guard. I am about to thank her when she walks away briskly. Okay then.I stare at the door to the red room and take a deep breath before stepping in. The room is empty. None of the kings are present; what a relief!The room has been cleaned up nicely, like absolutely nothing had occurred here just last night. It almost looks like a normal bedroom if one decides to

    “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

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

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

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.

    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

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

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.

    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
