Roman’s POVOne hour earlier…I am quiet as I open the door to her room. I make sure to open it up just a little to see inside, but not enough for me to be noticed. I stayed up all night waiting to say goodbye to her, even though both Caelen and Saul constantly told me to leave because I was only putting her and myself at risk.But goddamn it, I just did not care. All I needed was a few minutes to gaze into her eyes again.I opened the door to check if she was awake, and indeed, she was. But apparently, she is occupied at the moment.Her naked body lays perched atop Saul, who has his hands wrapped around her waist. I do not know what gets into me; it feels like rage, but only more intense. I suppose some would call it jealousy.But why the hell would I be jealous in the first place? I mean, this is not the first time I have seen Saul have his way with her. Hell, I even participated with him. But something about this moment is different. The way they gazed into each other’s eyes sugg
Meredith’s POVA groan passes through my lips as I slowly start to regain consciousness. I feel all dizzy and nauseated. I find myself lying on something cold, and it takes me a moment to realize that I have been sleeping on the cold cement floor.Why would I do that?As I groggily sit up, I take a look around the room, and it is an unfamiliar one. The walls are a dirty shade of gray, and the mucky scent of blood fills the air. I don’t recognize this room; where exactly am I?And suddenly, all my memories flood back in. I was with Saul; we were talking, and we were happy. Suddenly, everything just went black. It doesn’t take a genius to realize that we have been ambushed. The last thing I remember was my attacker taking me away from Saul. He was lying on the road with his head split open.Tears sting my eyes as my heart clenches. I can only hope that help came along and took him to the hospital. I may not know much about medicine, but I know for sure that a wound like that could be
Meredith’s POV I woke up in a coughing fit. My throat parched and I was screaming for water. I felt tears brim at the corners of my eyes as I continued to cough my throat out. I tried to reach out for something, but that is when I realized my hands were still very much strapped to the chair. “Ah, good. You are awake.” My head snaps up to find Kassius walking up to me with a wide smile on his lips. In his hands is a silver dagger, which he tosses leisurely into the air as though it were some toy. I tried to put some distance between him and me, but my God, it was as though this chair was made of heavy steel. The sadistic smirk on his lips had my skin crawling. “I feared I injected too much silver into you, but then I knew that wouldn’t be enough to kill you. You are no ordinary wolf after all.” By no ordinary did he mean an omega? They were pretty ordinary as far as I am concerned. Ordinary, weak creatures. Little coughs still escape my lips, and I manage to utter, “Wate
Caelen’s POV I used to think Amarie was the only woman capable of bringing us this much chaos, but clearly, I was wrong. all these damn women. This is what happens when you care too much for creatures that can’t protect themselves. The beeping of the heart monitor, along with Roman’s pacing footsteps, are the only things to be heard in the room. I sit on the chair beside Saul’s bed, watching him closely for any sign that his heart would dare stop beating. It is a good thing we came when we did; otherwise, we would have lost him. I feared Roman’s tantrum would have cost us the life of our brother. I do understand his anger and frustration. We have all worked so hard to protect Meredith; to think she has been taken from us so easily is quite enraging. But screaming about it wouldn’t solve anything. It would have only given us more problems because every second wasted was to our own detriment. I still remember watching Roman lose his sh*t after searching the scene for the fift
Meredith's POV A groan leaves my lips as my eyes slowly part. The first thing I see are iron bars, and my heart skips several beats.No.This can't be happening. Not again.Shooting up to my knees, I get hold of the bars and shake them violently. They did not even budge. Why do I always end up in a cage? Do I have ‘please put me in a cage’ written on my forehead or something?This is the third fucking time.The room I am in is unfamiliar. It was not like the one I woke up in the last time. This room was a bit cleaner.A bit too clean, if you ask me. The smell of drugs is heavy in the air, but there is something else lingering in it. Something ominous. Something heavily discomforting.Even though I knew it was pointless, I still struggle against the bars. I hated being in here. I can feel my skin crawling with every second I spend here.“Hey! Can anyone hear me? Let me out of here!” I scream as I slam my palms on the bars. Thankfully, my cries are heard, and the door opens shortly
Meredith's POV This has to be one of the creepiest and most disgusting things I have ever witnessed.I don't understand the road my life is taking anymore. The past few days have been beyond weird. First, I realize that the maid I have been living with is actually the lover of the men I have grown to greatly admire and she was out to kill me! Then I lose consciousness, and somehow I am able to see what is happening outside my body.I mean, can we take a pause there for a bit? Is that even normal? I know I never finished that book on the origin of the omegas, but I am certain none of them witnessed things like this.Then, just when I am about to be moved and feel a bit safe, I am involved in a car accident that leaves one of the men I care about in a fatal condition. Yes, a fatal condition, because I absolutely refuse to believe that Saul was dead. It just wasn't possible.He is stronger than that.And to add to my list of crazy experiences of the last three days, I was captured and
Roman’s POV“Calm yourself, man; you look like you are about to explode with rage,” Caelen says, but I completely ignore him as I storm up to the entrance of the gallows. The guards stand before the rather large black gates with pistols in their grasp. It is clear that they were ready for war at any time.Well, so was I.“We are here to see Councilor Reid,” Caelen says coolly, and the men only look at us in disapproval.“Councilor Reid is not available at the moment,” one of them replies, and before Caelen could get another word out, I held the guard by the throat and lifted him into the air.His pistol drops as his feet dangle in the air, and he struggles for breath. His associate reaches out for his gun, but Caelen stops him by simply placing a hand on his shoulder.“I wouldn’t do that if I were you,” he says, his eyes flashing a menacing shade of amber.“I am not a fan of repeating myself, but I will do so now because it is clear you have no idea who the fuck I am. My name is Roma
Meredith’s POVThe beeping of the heart monitor is the only sound that manages to infiltrate my ears. I could feel people moving around me, but I could not quite make out who they were. I couldn’t even keep my eyes open for too long.Never in my life have my eyelids felt so heavy. And I feel incredibly tired, too. All I want to do is have a nice long nap, but then didn’t I just wake up? My body screams for sleep, but my mind is fighting against it. It is telling me to get up and run, but I can’t.The fatigue is one thing, but I am actually unable to move any of my limbs right now. Whenever I managed to open my eyes, even if it was for just a second, I would see a bright white light hovering above me. Is this heaven? Am I dead? I always thought I would feel a lot lighter when I was dead. I always thought that I would be free and able to move around, but that isn’t the case right now.The next time my eyes open and shut, there is a figure standing above me. I believe it is a woman. A
