OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 23: A LITTLE FUN
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
OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 25: AN ALPHA'S RESOLVE
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
OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 26: TRUTH UNFOLDS
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
OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 27: ROYAL LIBRARY
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
OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 28: BUSTED
Meredith's POVA screech leaves my lips, and I jump back when an old man suddenly appears by my side. He might as well be the oldest man I have ever come across since I arrived here. His hair is completely gray, and the lines on his face suggest that he has been scowling for years. His glasses hang loosely on the bridge of his nose, and his faded, icy eyes pin me down with a glare.Plastering one of my sweetest smiles, I say, “Hello, my name is Meredith. I am looking for a book about-““Not here,” he interrupts.“But you didn’t let me say what book I was looking for,” I pouted.“It doesn’t matter. Commoners are not allowed in this library,” he says coldly, and I think of a way to convince him to let me get at least one book. There are over a million of them in here, and I am sure it would not kill him if he got just one.“Please, it is urgent information, and I couldn’t find it in the other library-““Madam,” he cuts me off once again, his tone a lot more stern. “I am sorry, but the
OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 29: SURPRISE!
Meredith’s POV“So, in summary, you didn’t get the book.” Sarah says this after I finish telling her what happened. I nod. “And you didn’t even get a peek inside the book?” she asks, and I nod again. She throws her hand up in the air and says, “I can’t say I am not surprised, but that means all our efforts were for nothing.” I bow my head, unable to say anything. What could I say? I am still very saddened and disappointed that I didn’t get to find out anything about being an omega. The only thing I have achieved today is setting my sights on some old pictures of a moon goddess and an omega. Now that I think about it, the book I found in the royal library said that omegas were divine beings. I mean, no one has ever associated an omega with being anything good, let alone being divine. There is still so much left for me to discover, and now I am back where I started. I would be lying if I said I didn’t want to cry right now. “Mer? You have been awfully quiet. Are you okay
OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 30: OMEGA BIOGRAPHY
Meredith's POV:It says that every omega had powers ranging from psychic abilities to the gift of dreaming to even healing properties. The book is mostly about how the first omega came to be and how she taught her kind how to use their mystical powers. This is like a big manual. Halfway through the book, it turns into a biography of the first twenty omegas in existence. It told the stories of their struggles in life and in unlocking their powers. It explained the methods they used to nurture those powers and make themselves stronger.My curiosity peaked at the tenth omega. General Ian. It says here that he nurtured his abilities so much that he was even able to conjure up storms. I slam the book shut and try to take in all this information. I can't believe that I have never heard of any of this before. This is so cool! If all omegas really are born with such powerful abilities, how come we have always been considered weak and taken away by the council?Something must have happe

“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
OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 161: BURN
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
OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 160: THE RETURN OF THE BEAST
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
OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 158: STONE COLD DEMONS
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
OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 156: THE TRUTH AND THE MATE
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
