Meredith’s POVNot again.Goddess, please not again.Reid walks into the room with his face as red as a tomato. He is furious. That can’t be good, especially for me.Reid begins to pace the room back and forth, muttering things that I cannot comprehend or know anything about. His eyelids start to twitch, and he looks almost deranged. He is losing his mind.“Nothing must stop me now. This is just a little setback; it will all be resolved soon. I will have all the power; I must.” Is what he mutters to himself over and over again. He really is Amarie’s soulmate; they are absolutely perfect for each other.Two mentally deranged lunatics would do anything to get what they wanted.Reid pauses his pacing and looks at me.Ah, fuck, he has noticed me. A part of me was hoping he would just pace the room and mutter to himself, then leave. Why did he have to notice me?“The ritual is in two days; prepare yourself. If you were harboring any plans to disrupt this, then you better get rid of it.” He
Meredith's POV I pull away from him, and he wipes my tears away. That is when a thought came into my mind, raising my eyebrows in confusion. “But how did you find me? and how did you get in?” He chuckles lightly, tucking some of my hair behind my ear. “Really? You are asking me this now? I thought after our last meeting it would have been established that I am capable of finding you anywhere.” I laugh lightly. Well, I suppose that is true. “But it isn’t safe here,” I inform him, and he nods in agreement. “I know, which is precisely why you can’t stay in here any longer. I am breaking you out.” My eyes grow wider than they ever have before. I blink up at him, wondering if I had heard him correctly. Once again, tears find their way to my eyes. “My savior,” I mutter, and he doesn’t hide his amusement. This is the second time he has risked his life to save me. What have I done to deserve a friend like him? To think that our last time speaking before all this madness star
Meredith’s POVAs soon as those words leave my lips, I instantly regret them. I watch the strongest man I have ever met crumble before my very eyes from those words. I do not know why I expected it not to work, just like the last time. Maybe it was because I really did mean it. and unlike last time, my wolf didn’t try to fight it.Come to think of it, she has been awfully quiet since we were captured by Reid. Who knows what all those drugs they were injecting into me were doing to her? But if there was one thing I knew for certain, it was that she wasn’t fighting the rejection. She silently accepted it.Suddenly, it feels as though my chest has been set ablaze, and pain erupts from within me. It consumed me from the inside out, making me crumble to my knees. “Meredith!” Idris panics, coming to my side and helping me to my feet. Roman just watches the both of us, looking utterly broken. For the first time since I have known the man, I have seen his eyes glaze over. He was on the ver
Meredith’s POVI must have hit my head pretty hard before losing consciousness, because there is absolutely no way this scene displayed before me is real. It can’t be real.How is the husband who laid lifeless beside me on our matrimonial bed the day after our wedding still standing? It is because of him that all of this happened in the first place. All because I thought that I had somehow killed him.Yet he has been alive all this time.And he is gay?I have known Idris my whole life, and he has not once shown any interest in any man. Why would he hide this from me? At what point did they even know each other? I have so many questions that I need desperate answers to.They kiss each other so passionately, like lovers who haven’t seen each other in over a decade. But I know for a fact that they have been together all this time. He must have been hiding out here with Idris all this time. And Idris has the audacity to lie to my face; he said that he was the only one in this place.Mean
Roman’s POVA few minutes earlier…She rejected me.She actually rejected me.And it hurt. Like hell.“God damn it, Roman, snap out of it!” Caelen snaps as he smacks me over the head. I am brought back to reality, blinking at the spot where she once stood with wonder. “How could you just let her go?” Caelen snaps, and his question only aggravates me.A growl rumbles off my throat, and I bark at him. “She fucking rejected me! What the hell did you want me to do?" My words are cut short when Caelen’s fist makes contact with my face. My head snaps to the side due to the force, and I groan slightly from the pain. “What the hell was that for?”“So what if she fucking rejected you? She did it because she clearly could not see that she was in danger. Don’t you remember the first time we went to see Reid in his office? He was the one that fucking bumped into you. Not to mention that Kassius informed us before any of this. He is clearly as much of a threat to her as Reid is, and you just le
Meredith’s POVA sigh leaves my lips as I stretch my limbs on the comfortable mattress. This has to be the best bed I have laid on in weeks. It was a lot better than the one I had fallen asleep in. That was Idris’s bed.My eyelids fly apart, and I shoot up in a sitting position. My eyes lock with Roman’s dark, waiting eyes, and my heart skips a beat. Caelen is also in the room. He is leaning on the wall beside the door with his eyes trained solely on me. They were watching me with such intensity that if they looked away for even a second, I would vanish from their sight. The memory of what had happened comes flooding into my memory, and it feels as though I have just been hit on the head with a hammer.My fingers find their way to my temple, and I pinch my eyes shut. “Here,” Roman says, and I open my eyes to find him holding out a glass of water and two pills towards me. I take them from him and swallow the pills with water without question. The water replenishes me, and I relax in
Caelen’s POVI ran. When the second one of the nurses came to tell us that Saul was awake, I bolted out of the room. The sensation I get in my heart is not one I could easily describe; I have only felt this way once before, and that was on the day Meredith was recovered.It was something in between relief and joy; it made my heart feel warm. It was strange, but I loved it.Roman followed closely behind me, and I practically kicked down the door to the infirmary. Our eyes fall on Saul, sitting on the bed and talking to Meredith casually. It was almost hard for us to believe our own eyes. He looked as good as new.His blue eyes fall on us, and he grins. “Long time, no see, ladies.”“You fucking bastard,” I say, feeling a sting in my eyes as I walk up to his bed and engulf him in a brief bro hug. When we pull away, Roman only gives him a brief handshake before stepping away from him.“I know you ladies missed me,” Saul chuckles, wiggling his eyebrows playfully, and I roll my eyes.“You
Meredith’s POVTen minutes earlier…“A lot has happened these past few weeks; you have been knocked out,” Caelen tells Saul, and I take that as my cue to leave. I did not want to sit here and take a trip down memory lane. I hop off the bed and clear my throat loudly, catching all their attention. “I am feeling a bit suffocated here. I am going to get some fresh air. I will leave you three to catch up,” I say hurriedly, but Saul grabs my wrist before I can leave.“Are you okay?” he asks, and I hate how he looks at me with so much confusion and oblivion. He has absolutely no idea what I have been through these past few weeks.“Uh, yeah, I am,” I lie, unable to meet his eyes. I can tell that he still wants to ask me more questions, but I yanked my wrist free before he could get the chance. I make sure not to meet any of their gazes as I walk out of the room.My vision blurs a bit as I step outside and breathe in the fresh evening sun. The sky is one of the prettiest shades of orange I
