OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 76: FAILED PLAN
Caelen’s POV“Please do not fuck this up,” I tell Roman, and he glows at me. He can react all he wants, but he had to hear it. We are running out of ways to get Meredith back, and this is by far our best bet at the moment. I place my hand on Roman’s shoulder and look at him almost pleadingly. “I need you to be on your best stoney-faced behavior. Let me do all the talking.”“Fine, but if this doesn’t work, then we are doing it my way,” he huffs, folding his arms above his chest as we await the guards to come open the gate for us. Sincerely, I do hope that this works. I do not know how many more bullet wounds I can sustain before my body gives up on me.It was just two days ago when Roman revealed to me that he and Meredith are mates. I instantly sent word to Reid to let us have another meeting with him, and to my greatest surprise, he actually agreed to it. I suppose I should have no doubts considering that he is unaware that we are the ones who attacked his previous headquarters be
OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 77: NEW WARDEN
Meredith’s POVUnable to lift my head, I stare at my legs in the dark room. I can hear the beating of my own heart and feel the air entering my lungs. I have barely eaten a proper meal, and these monsters did not even have the courtesy to offer me a toilet. I have peed on myself for the past five days, and the smell is just awful.But at this point, I could not even smell it anymore. I am starting to think I have lost my sense of smell at this point. I have lost most of my senses at this point. I could not feel anything; I haven't spoken to or said a word, seeing as I have been locked in here for several days.I mean, I think it has been for several days. Or has it been months? I have not been keeping count. Occasionally, I would find myself thinking about the kings. Why haven’t they come for me? Have they given up on finding me? Have they found a replacement for me? I wonder how Saul is doing. Has he woken up? Has he asked of me? Was he worried about me? or has he forgotten about
OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 78: THE BOARD MEETING
Roman’s POVIt is official; I have lost my mind. And Caelen is not helping in any way. He is the only one keeping me from doing what I really want to do, and that is burning each and every one of the council’s branches until we get Meredith back.I just know she has to be in one of them, but Caelen thinks that would be reckless. We would end up losing more men, which is something we cannot afford, especially after the last attack I led. But I just could not help it; I found it hard to care about anything apart from getting Meredith back.I never thought being away from one’s mate could be agonizingly painful. The others did not know this, but every second I spent without Meredith by my side was like a stab to my heart. It was why I could not think or act properly. And that pain grew by the second. It was slowly driving me over the edge. I fear that if I do not get her back in the next few days, I will lose all my senses of reasoning. To think this is happening when I haven’t even a
OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 79: ALL FOR LOVE
Caelen’s POVIf this had been two years ago, I probably would have killed Roman. But right now I could not bring myself to stop him; perhaps it was because a part of me secretly wished I could do what he was doing. But since my eyes locked with those amber eyes that have haunted my dream, I couldn’t even bring myself to speak.Roman held Amarie by the throat, dragging her away from the boardroom and into a private room. It was probably for the best because, as I can tell, things are about to get incredibly ugly. “You have no idea how long I have been wanting to slit your throat,” Roman glows, pinning Amarie to the wall.Despite having her air supply cut, she still manages to laugh. “You can’t do shit to me.”Her face grows pale when Roman starts to chuckle. It was something he hardly ever did; it was something he did when he was on the verge of shedding someone’s blood. And Amarie knew that.“You seem to have forgotten who I am. I am not Caelen; I do not hesitate.”Roman’s pupils dil
OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 80: FALSE HOPE
Meredith’s POVI used to read books about people who would be sentenced to life imprisonment. I see how they are treated like animals and tortured for days without any food or water. I always felt bad for them, despite knowing their crime. I never believed that a human being should be deprived of such basic necessities of life. But it is different when you read all of this in a book and actually experience it. All those days I spent growing up cuddling on my favorite sofa and wrapped around my favorite blanket I would always sit beside the furnace with a hot cup of cocoa during the winter. There would always be a book in my hand, and I remember vividly that between the ages of twelve and fifteen, I was obsessed with crime documentaries. Any book I would find based on true events and how they punished their criminals like they were demons from another race. I felt pity for them, even sympathy. But never empathy. I don’t think anyone can feel empathy for someone going through somet
OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 81: CRUEL MATE
Roman’s POVYou have got to be fucking kidding me.We lost her. again.A groan leaves my lips as I lift my head off the steering wheel. My fingers lift to my temple, and when I pull them back, there is nothing but red liquid on my hands. Blood. I look to my left to see Caelen with his head against the headboard, blood seeping out of his skull, and I silently pray that he did not suffer a severe blow like Saul.“Caelen?”I could not even begin to describe my relief when he groaned in response. He lifts his head off the headboard, blood trickling down his head like different streams of rivers. He looks at me, then at our shattered windscreen, then curses.He takes out his phone from his pocket and calls, who I assume to be one of our men, “They went down Talisman Road; they should be cutting the corner in a few minutes. Do not lose them.”There is a moment of silence as Caelen listens attentively to what he is being told. I catch his left eyelid twitch before he shuts his eyes and take
OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 82: CHANGE OF PLANS
Reid’s POVThat damn bitch.She just had to get caught. She is so fucking useless, I swear. I do not think anyone has managed to piss me off the way she does. I am honestly relieved that the Lycan trio has gotten her; she has already betrayed them once, so I should know better than to think that they would ever release her to me.Mate or not, they would be doing me a favor by getting rid of her. Yes, she is my mate, but she could also serve as a potential weakness. I feel absolutely nothing for her, but that does not mean if something happened to her, it would not affect me in some way.I just pray they get rid of her as quickly as possible. The last thing I need right now is a weakness or an obstacle. Nothing must stand in my way, not now that I am so close to finally getting all that I have desired and fulfilling the prophecy. I just wish she had fulfilled her mission before allowing herself to foolishly get caught. An irritated sigh leaves my lips as I pinch the bridge of my nos
OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS CHAPTER 83: A NEW ALLIANCE
Roman’s POVSilence. That is all that fills the room. Caelen and I sit together at the ends of the table, our fingers intertwined as the wheel spins and our brains turn faster than ever before. It has already been established that Reid is the one in possession of our ring. He also has Meredith for reasons that are still very much unknown to us. We tried getting the information out of Amarie, but she has been a wailing mess after the phone call with Reid.Personally, I could not care less if she was on the verge of death. I still needed to know what Reid planned on doing with Meredith. But Caelen, being the more reasonable one, thought it would be better to leave her be in the meantime and ‘grieve’.I snorted at the last word. Grieve for what? She should have known that the psychopath would do something like this. To think that she decided to betray us for a man like him, we never, not even in a million years would have betrayed Amarie or done anything to hurt her. we would have ra

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

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
