DESTINED TO BE OWNED CHAPTER 11: SPARED SOUL
Meredith’s POVI smile through my tears as my father squeezes my hand through the bars. As I take in his features, the tears only fall more. He has cuts and bruises everywhere; how could anyone do this to an innocent old man?My father is one of the kindest men I have ever met. And I am not saying this because he is my father. I am saying this because I actually know him. I see the way he treats his people with such kindness, wisdom, and sound judgment. He does not deserve this. He does not deserve any of this.Even though it has just been a week since I last saw him, I can tell that he has lost an unhealthy amount of weight. Are they even feeding on him here? My attention falls on a cut right above his eye. Judging by the discharge escaping it, I can tell that it has been infected.My chest feels tighter as more tears slip past my eyes. “I am getting you out of here, papa. I promise. I will look for the key and get you out.”I attempt to stand, but he holds me back down. He shakes
DESTINED TO BE OWNED CHAPTER 12: A DEAL WITH THE 'QUEEN'
Meredith’s POV“What are you doing in my room?” I demand, and she raises a brow.“I am the one asking the questions here, Missy,” she pauses to take in my appearance. A scowl graces her lips when she says, “You look terrible.”I look at myself, and for the first time since I have known her, I actually agree with her. My dress is torn, ripped, and stained with all manner of things. I cannot even begin to imagine what my hair and face look like at this moment. A tired sigh leaves my lips, and I shut my eyes, trying to control my frustration. My legs are killing me! Hell, I feel like they are about to give in any moment from now on. Never in my life have I craved a bed as much as I do now.The ache in my legs and the fatigue make it almost impossible to think of an appropriate lie.“I am not in the mood for this, Gwen. I really need to sleep,” I say, almost plead.She purses her lips and shrugs. Throwing her legs off my bed, she walks around me and says, “That is fine, but let me tell
DESTINED TO BE OWNED CHAPTER 13: REJECTED MATE
Meredith’s POV“I don’t know what you are-My words are cut short, and a gasp leaves my lips as he slams me against the wall. His large hand wraps around my throat, cutting off my air supply. Instinctively, my hands claw at his, but all to no avail.Roman brings his lips dangerously close to mine. His minty breath fans my face as his dark eyes pin me to the spot. His voice is calm. Too calm.Especially for someone who is just barely an inch away from killing his own mate.“We both know that is a lie. Now, try again.”My lungs are screaming at this point, and black dots are tainting my vision. He lets go of me, and I instantly fill my lungs with oxygen. I recover my breath and massage my possibly bruised neck. He steps away from me, and I look at him through teary eyes. He knows I am not human, possibly because of our mate bond. But if he finds out that I am an omega, then it surely will not be good for me. He is a heartless monster who knows what he will do to me. Roman tilts his
DESTINED TO BE OWNED CHAPTER 14: PRINCESS IN DISTRESS
Meredith’s POVPanic courses through my veins as I search the hallway. Thankfully, there is no one present to witness this play, but for how long?I shoot to my feet and slam my fist against Roman’s door. On a normal day, I would not dare do such a thing, but for God’s sake, I am butt naked out here.“Please hand me my clothes at least; I can’t walk around the palace like this! Please!” I scream as I pound against his door. He doesn’t open it; he doesn’t even say anything. My heart aches with hurt. I can’t believe he can be so cruel to leave me out here like this.My heart plummets to the pit of my stomach when my ears pick up on the sound of approaching footsteps. Someone is coming. Shit!“Roman please!” I plead, pounding harder on his door. “He’s not going to open the door for you.”My body grows still, and I swallow the bile that has risen within my throat. Slowly, I turn to find a man in a black suit standing right behind me. He appears to be a few years older than me, but not n
DESTINED TO BE OWNED CHAPTER 15: GWEN 2.0
Meredith’s POVI know I want nothing to do with him but he might as well be my only hope.But how can I possibly do that when we obviously hate each other?It makes me wonder: who was his first mate? He must have loved her a lot. What really happened? How did she die?Perhaps Sarah would know.For the first time in about three days, I opened the door to my room, so you can imagine my surprise when I found a woman standing right on the other side.She has her fist raised in the air, which suggests that she was just about to knock. “You are being summoned to the dining room by the kings.”You have got to be kidding me."Oh, okay,” I say, then step back into my room to shut the door. She stops it with her hand and pushes past me.“They ordered that you come now. I am to see that you are dressed appropriately,” she says firmly, and I rear my head back a bit with surprise.She roams my wardrobe without permission and picks out two pieces of red lingerie and a silky robe for me. I could hav
DESTINED TO BE OWNED CHAPTER 16: THE MUSIC ROOM
Meredith’s POV “I am sorry you had to see all of that,” I say, picking up my robe from the floor. My eyes meet his, and I am surprised to find light in them with a smile on his face.“Oh no, not at all. I am quite used to it, actually,” he says, and my cheeks flush once again. I keep my gaze down and cannot help but wonder how long he has worked here for him to be used to such sights. Just when I am about to excuse myself, he says something that surprises me. “What is your name?”“Meredith,” I reply, and a corner of his lips lifts, showcasing a dimple.“Meredith,” he repeats, my name rolling off his tongue like honey. “I believe it means magnificent, a great ruler.” The smile that lifts my lips is so wide, I almost thought the corners were touching my ears. “Yes, yes, it does.” I trail off. My father told me that it was my mother who gave me that name when I was born. I would be the greatest ruler of our kingdom.Now look at what it has become.“Your parents made an excellent choi
DESTINED TO BE OWNED CHAPTER 17: TORTURE CHAMBER
Meredith’s POVMy question is answered immediately when I see the person standing behind him. Gwen.She told him.That bitch!She has a sly smirk on her lips before she says, ‘I warned you’. She disappears down the hall, leaving me alone with the furious alpha before me. Roman picks me up by the neck, instantly cutting off my air supply. He brings his lips to my ears, and his words send unpleasant shivers down my spine. “You know what I hate more than witches? It’s a lying one that thinks she can take me for a fool.”"Roman, please let me explain,” I croak as his grip on my throat tightens.“Silence!” he snaps in my face. He leads me down the hall, and I am barely able to keep up with his long strides. I stumble a few times, but his grip on my neck won’t give me a chance to recover.I find myself in an unfamiliar part of the palace. The lighting is dim, and something about the whole place just gives off an eerie aura. My gaze falls on two guards standing in front of a metal door. T
DESTINED TO BE OWNED CHAPTER 18: LIAR! LIAR!
Meredith’s POVI always imagined myself dying at an old age in my sleep. I never would have imagined that itwould be in the hands of a lunatic at such a young age. The wheels in my head spin faster than they ever have before, as I think of a lie. “I had to go say goodbye to someone. An old friend of mine that worked in the same mansion as I did under my master,” I lie, and Saul tilts his head to the side.“I admire you; you know that?” he says, and his words confuse me. until he says, “You witnessed me torture a man to death, yet you still have the guts to lie to my face.”I shrink back, pressing myself further into the wall, even though I know it is no use. “I am not lying.”“You are,” he says simply, taking a step back. “How did you even get out? I am curious.” There is true intrigue and curiosity in his eyes as he awaits my response. “I climbed up that oak tree and jumped to the other side,” I admit, and he shakes his head, amusement trickling in his eyes.“You mean the one I ca
