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
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
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
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
Meredith’s POVAlpha Caelen was clearly a man of great strength. Ever since that moment at the cave, I always knew he possessed many unique qualities. They all did.While Saul was cunning, smart, and more skilled in different crafts that didn’t involve brute force, Caelen was the exact opposite. This was his field. Which is why, at this moment, he circled me like a predator would its prey; my heart was pounding wildly against my chest.“You know I can hear your heart beating wildly in your chest, right?” He asks, stopping right in front of me and staring down at me with those honey brown eyes. Well, that wasn’t surprising, was it? His face is dead serious; it isn’t mischievous like Saul’s or void of emotion like Roman's. His was a somewhat combination of both.There is a wild curiosity in his eyes, along with a need for perfection. If not, there will be a blood bath. A shiver runs down my spine when he slides a strand of my hair gently behind my ear. It sends an army of goosebumps
