OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 66: DAWNING ERA OF THE BEAST
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
OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 67: BLOOD SUCKERS
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
OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 68: TROUBLE IN THE GALLOWS
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
OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 69: OMEGA FACTORY
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
OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 70: DEFENSELESS
Roman’s POVWe are a few meters away from the gallows, our men armed to the teeth, ready to go in with everything they have. I make sure to check if my gun is loaded and if I have a few extra bullets in my strap. There are other weapons in my holster too, such as blades and grenades.From the corner of my eye, I see Caelen watch all of his with uncertainty in his eyes. He is no coward; I know for a fact that he wasn’t scared. He just didn’t think that Meredith was all of this.That’s the difference between him and me. She was worth more than any of this. “Gather around men!” My voice instantly grasps all their attention as they await my orders. “We are going in to take back what these bastards took from us, Meredith. You all know her. When we march in there, I want you to shoot down everything that moves apart from her. Do you understand?” “Yes, alpha!” they say synonymously, and I nod once.As I pull my mask down, they all do the same. “Let’s go.” I say this before getting into m
OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 71: SAUL'S BLOOD
Amarie’s POV"Sorry, love. But this is going to hurt you a lot more than it will hurt me.”The nurse opens her mouth to scream, but I strike her square on the temple with my fists. Her body falls lightly to the floor, and I look around quickly to make sure no one has seen that. I take her by her ankles and drag her into the nearest room, my senses alert for any sign of an unwanted audience.Once I manage to get her into the room, I start to undress her. I quickly switch our dresses and make sure to shield my face with a nose mask and hair net. My gaze falls on the poor nurse. I may have hit a kitten too hard because now the side of her head is bleeding profusely.I crouch down beside her and tap her bleeding head lightly. “Don’t worry, I just need your identity for a little while. In the meantime, I hope someone will find you soon. We don’t want you bleeding to death now, do we?” I place a finger on my chin, then shrug. “Not like I even care.”Rising to my feet, I make my way to the
OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 72: CAR CHASE
Caelen’s POVA breath of relief leaves my lips as Roman and I step into the infirmary and find our brother still laying on the stretcher, completely unharmed. My fingers run through my hair as Roman walks up to Saul and inspects him closely.“Okay, I think we were wrong. Maybe none of this was a set-up,” I say, but Roman doesn’t say a word. He continues to search the room with his eyes narrowed. When he starts sniffing the air, my eyebrows furrow in confusion. “What are you doing?” I ask him, and instead of giving me a verbal response, he raises a finger to silence me.“Do you smell that?” he asks, and that is when I start to sniff the air myself. It was faint, but that delicate scent of sunflowers could not go unmissed. My eyes widen as the realization dawns on me. She was just here.Roman and I curse beneath our breath as we make our way out of the infirmary and back outside. “That reminds me of that nurse we saw. Why was she covering her face? We specifically made that rule so w
OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 73: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Reid’s POV I sit alone in my office, not bothering to turn on the lights, as I allow myself to get swept away by my thoughts. I just can’t believe that after all these years, I have finally found the key the prophecy had talked about. The key to the door would unlock the doors of unimaginable power. And that key is Meredith Amman. Who would have thought that after all these years of searching, what I have been looking for was right under my nose all along? I never would have thought that Amman’s daughter would be an omega. That damn bastard, he fooled me for many years. Amman was once my best friend back in the day, but when we became leaders of our various entities, I suppose we drifted apart. Our friendship weakened until it was no longer there. I have met Meredith once before, back when she was just a little girl. About the tender age of three, I believe. I never expected her to remember me, and it is a good thing she didn’t. That day was the last time I saw both Amman and

“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

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

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
