OWNED BY THE LYCAN KINGS のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 101 - チャプター 110

Meredith’s POVI thought I would be disgusted by this woman’s vile display of disdain, but sincerely, I was heartbroken. My brows crease as I meet her hateful glare. “I would rather perish before my child than accept your hand.”Whispers and murmurs erupt among the audience around us. The guards appear confused on what to do; it was clear that they knew who I was. They all did. “Why? I am your queen, Meredith Amman,” I say confidently, and the air grows silent for a moment. But next, snickers and snide remarks fill the air.The woman before me snorts, despite the blood trickling down her head. “I have no queen. The last ruler of our great nation, Nuvia, was executed weeks ago. That is precisely why we are suffering, because the last of our leaders has died.”A pang strikes my chest from her words, and I quickly blink away my tears. I could not show weakness here, no matter how hurtful their words may be. I had to be strong and establish authority. I just have to.“Look me in the eye

Meredith’s POV They all hate me. My own people hate me. That has to be the saddest thing ever. ‘I did not give a damn about what the bitch Lucia said; there was no way in hell I was leaving my kingdom in her hands. “There are more ways to get your head mounted on that pole than one,” she said. Ha! I was scared of her. It broke my heart when the kings didn’t support me when I wanted to have a duel with her. After everything we have been through, they still think I am weak. I never got to know the full strength of Malik and his people, but Lucia had to be very powerful to take down even one of the most average alphas. Despite knowing this, I was still not scared of her. The only thing I felt towards her was pure rage and disdain. The kings thought I couldn’t take her on myself. I don't care who the hell she is; I would fight with everything in me to take back what is rightfully mine. But then she just had to turn diplomatic at that moment. I hate to admit it, but she had a point:

Saul’s POVFinding your mate is supposed to be one of the most exciting experiences in the world. It is supposed to be a feeling that automatically lifts the weight off your shoulders and fills you with relief. But it just had to be the exact opposite for me. Of course, mine had to be different.After running away from everyone like a damn pussycat, the weight on my shoulders returned, and it was ten times heavier than it was before. It was weird because I could feel my mate’s hurt, her sadness, and her heart breaking the further I got away from her.I never even got to know her name.I suppose I was just too scared to ask.Scared huh? I never thought I was capable of feeling such an emotion. This has to be the hardest point in my life. I should have just marked her there, and then I thought that once you have found a mate, nothing else in the world matters.Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that my heart already belonged to another. That moment at the park, every fibre in

Saul's POV She was a leader.I could tell from how she spoke to her colleagues and gave commands. She did so with assertiveness and a cool, dominating authority. She never shouted.She kept her voice low, but even I could feel the weight of her order. You wouldn't dare defy her. Even though I feared to defy her, I guess that is why I haven't moved an inch from behind this tree. But there is something else she is missing. There is something in her that I am looking for but can't seem to find. That warmth and compassion weren't there.I suppose one of the reasons I am having trouble moving from this spot is coming to terms with the fact that this woman wasn't Meredith. She never will.Just look at me, the great Alpha Saul Kaval, hiding behind a tree because he is too scared to speak to a woman. I am so glad the others weren't here to witness this, especially after they watched me run away like some coward. I know that I will have to move at some point. I can't stay hidden behind t

Caelen’s POVGood Lord, the air is suffocating in here.The tension in the room was maddening. The silence was deafening, and I don’t think I have been in a room filled with so much awkwardness before. I just stepped out to buy a few ingredients to make rice and sauce for dinner tonight. When I came home, there was no one around.They all just couldn’t stay put for two damn minutes.I decided to let everyone be and start cooking. It has been a while since I realized my talents in the kitchen. Ever since I became an alpha with so many responsibilities and so many servants to do my bidding, I never thought of it.But now, seeing as we are far from home with little to no servants, I think it would be the best way to keep myself busy. And besides, cooking was once a stress reliever for me. I am glad that it still is.I was just adding the last few ingredients to the sauce when Roman returned. He didn’t have to take a look around to know that Meredith wasn’t home. “Where is she?” he asked
