OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 38: THE BALL
Meredith's POV Madam Estrid walks in with a large scowl on her face and annoyance swirling within her fading gray eyes. “Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear me knocking?” I stay silent. I couldn’t speak. I was almost too tired. She glares down at me and says, “It will soon be time for the ball. Everyone is getting ready; you should as well.” Once again, I say nothing. If I didn’t know better, I almost believe that there was a flash of worry in her eyes. But there was not a single soul that actually cared about me in this damn place. She sighs, and her hands go up to her nape. “I heard what happened, and it is quite unfortunate; although I could say I expected death to come knocking on Gwen’s door eventually, I never expected it for Sarah. She was a good girl.” I pinch my eyes shut and let another tear slide down my face. Why was she telling me this? Is this her way of condoning me? Madam Estrid continues, “But you have to pull yourself together. One thing you must get used to he
OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 39: AN OLD FRIEND
Meredith’s POV Idris has changed so much. His once-vibrant brown eyes are now rimmed with a bloody red tint. His fresh, young face has been assaulted with beards and a couple of wrinkles, if I might add. But he is still the same handsome jock I fell in love with all those years ago. After he walked away from me when I announced my marriage to Johnothan to him, I never thought I would see him again. Much less in a kingdom miles away from ours, standing in a black suit and stubble over his once freshly shaven face. His shabby hair has grown a bit longer as well. I notice that he looks so much more tired than the last time I saw him. Almost sad. But right now, as he stands before me, there is a glimmer of hope. There are so many emotions bubbling within me as I gaze into his eyes. Idris has been my best friend since childhood and my boyfriend for over three years. Yet ever since I ran away from home, I never thought about him again. But seeing him here fills me with so m
OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 40: SAVED BY THE BELL
Meredith's POV Idris and I turn to find Caelen leaning against the doorframe with his hands in his pockets. His attire is similar to Roman’s but a lot less sinister. His hazel eyes shift from Idris to me suspiciously, and my mouth opens and shuts as I try to think of a lie. If they find out who Idris really is, they will kill him, and then they will kill me because then he will know that I lied to him. I have been lying to all of them about who I really am. When neither of us answer, Caelen pushes himself off the doorframe and eyes Idris carefully, "I have never seen you before,” he says, encircling Idris in an intimidating manner. I did my best to calm myself down and try not to give us away, but it is just so hard. If there was one thing I hated about these kings, it was their ability to evoke fear in anyone without even trying. “I am one of the new recruits, your majesty.” Idris lies coolly, and Caelen’s eyelids are narrow. “Is that so? And to what rank?” Caelen inter
OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 41: THE MOLE
Meredith’s POV The pounding of my heart against my ribcage is the only sound in the room. Beads of sweat trickle down my face as my eyes remain locked with Roman’s furious ones. He walked in not long ago, and Caelen instantly told him about the phone he found on me. Roman hasn’t said anything since. He just stared at me with a burning fury, but there was something else in his eyes. I almost did not recognize it due to all the rage shielding it, but I saw it. The disappointment. I wanted to tell him that all this is just some misunderstanding and that I am not whatever mole they are talking about. But what valid reason could I possibly have for sneaking a phone around? How can I tell them that I am the runaway omega princess who is secretly hiding in their home to avoid the eyes of the council and my furious father--in-law? If they find out how much trouble I could bring them, then they will kick me out for sure. But a part of me knew that was not the only thing I was scar
OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 42: CAGED
Meredith’s POVThe pain on my backside causes a groan to leave my lips. My hand subconsciously goes down to the throbbing skin, and I attempt to offer myself some form of relief by massaging it, but it only makes it worse. A hiss leaves my lips the second my skin makes contact with it, and I quickly pull my hand away.What happened…?All I can remember is getting ready for the ball, going in with Madam Estrid, and then... my eyes wide as the memories of last night come flooding in. I shoot out of the bed and hastily look around. My blood runs cold when my eyes lock with a pair of icy blue ones.Saul.I wanted to smile with relief and run into his arms, but the way he looked at me paralyzed me to the spot. He is sitting on the chair facing the bed with his elbows on his knees and his eyes solely trained on me. His hair falls above his eyes, shielding his expression. When I squinted my eyes, I could have sworn the corners of his eyes were a bit red. What the hell? Had he been crying
OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 43: WAR DECLARATION
Roman’s POVMy brothers and I sit in silence, neither of us desiring to speak. And I could not blame them. I did not want to speak either. I still find it hard to process everything that is going on. There is no way that Meredith is actually the mole. It just isn’t possible.I know I could have said the same thing about Amarie being a traitor all along. I suppose it is what I get for having even the tiniest bit of faith in a woman.Saul breaks the silence by releasing a long, agitated sigh. He ruffles his hair in frustration, and one can easily tell that his mind is troubled. “This doesn’t seem right, you guys. I mean, Meredith is just too weak to be a mole.”Caelen snorts. “That is exactly what women like her want you to think. They would portray themselves as weak, fragile creatures, so they would be the last person you would ever suspect.”Saul shakes his head, refusing to believe Caelen’s words. “It still just doesn’t make sense,“Caelen slams his palm on the table with a force
OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 44: TEMPORARY SAVE
Meredith’s POV It has been three days. It has been three days since I was thrown into this cage like some animal by my very own mate. Why would Selene do this to me? What great sin could I have possibly committed to have been cursed with a mate such as Roman? How could he be so heartless to leave me in here? This wasn’t like what I read in those books in the library about friends. Mates aren’t supposed to stand the mere thought of their partner in pain, talk less of watching them shed tears. He was a monster. Every day, I have more reasons to despise Roman. And to think that I was starting to think that things could get better between us, that maybe just maybe there is some good within him. I guess I was wrong. But this didn’t just apply to Roman; it applied to all three of them. Even though I could tell Saul was pained by the whole situation, I expected him to put up a bit more of a fight. And Caelen? I doubt he ever really had a hint of affection for me. Even if he did, h
OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 45: TRAPPED
Meredith’s POVThe silence during the ride is really uncomfortable. Saul wouldn’t even look in my direction, and we've been driving for over ten minutes. We are being escorted by a convoy, but I still felt terribly alone despite being surrounded by so much security. The driver didn’t make a single sound; I couldn’t even hear his breathing. The same goes for Saul. He just sat by my side, typing away on his phone.I can’t take this anymore. This is all just too suffocating.“Saul...” I start, but he raises his hand to silence me. “No, not a word. I want silence,” he says coldly, and I frown. I do not know what gives me the confidence to place my hand on his and move even closer to him. But who am I kidding? This is Saul, who we are talking about here. He would never hurt me.I hope.He stops typing on his phone but still doesn’t look at me. So, I take it that I have gotten his attention. “This is all just a big misunderstanding; I am not the mole, and I know you know that. Just pleas

OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 162: EPILOGUE
“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
OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 159: A FOOL NO MORE
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
OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS 154: YOU WILL REMEMBER NOTHING
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
