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
Meredith’s POV Blood. The metallic scent fills my nostrils, forcing my eyelids apart. This isn’t my room; where am I?Memories from the previous night come flooding in, and my mouth forms an O shape as the realization dawns on me. Oh, that is right, I am currently in my matrimonial bed. I just spent the night with my newlywed husband.Most girls would be ecstatic to wake up in the arms of their husband after a blissful wedding night. But I am not.I do not even know who this man I call my husband is. My marriage was arranged by my father, and I only met my dear husband once before we said our vows on the altar yesterday. Let me explain. My name is Meredith, the first and only daughter of Oliver Amman. My father is one of the most powerful Alphas in the kingdom of Nuvia. I am sure you are thinking, Oh, I am a princess, and I have the best life. How I wish that were true, but sadly, it is not. And that is all because of one thing.I am an omega.And an omega is the wo
Meredith’s POVI have never beheld such beauty before in my entire life.The three men that surrounded me stood tall, but only two of them gave me a chilling aura.The one who had spoken has icy blue eyes piercing right through my soul. A few strands of strawberry blond hair fall above them, making him appear even more handsome. He has on a white shirt that is folded up by the sleeves. We are in the middle of the woods, and there is not even a speck of dirt on his shirt. And judging by the state of their camp site, I could tell that they have been here for a while. His expression is cold, almost unreadable. The way his icy eyes pin me to the spot has a shiver running down my spine.The second man is bronze-skinned and has eyes that remind me of honey. His muscular and tall physique nearly has me salivating. He has on a black tank top that shows off his impressive torso, along with black cargo pants and boots. He looks down at me with his eyebrows a bit furrowed. Curiosity
Meredith’s POV I blink up at him, wondering if I had heard him correctly. Roman has a deep scowl on his face when he asks, “What do you think you are doing, Saul?”The grin on Saul’s lips is evil and filled with so many mysteries. Mysteries that I am certain I do not want to uncover. "Oh, come on, Roman - look at her. I have never seen a more desperate creature before in my entire life! She says she is willing to do anything; aren’t you a little bit curious to see how far she could go?”The way he speaks about me, like I am not even here, is quite humiliating. A part of me wants to snap at him and tell him to address me with a bit of respect, I am royalty after all, but I am certain that if I do that, they won't even give me off to the slavers.They would kill me on the spot.So, I stay silent and take it all in.My gaze shifts to my supposed mate. I cannot believe he has not said anything about our mate bond. And more importantly, why isn’t he reacting to what his friend
Meredith’s POVMarco’s grip on my arm is harsh as he leads me to God knows where. I take the time to gawk at the majestic paintings that hang on the crystal-white walls. Most of it was off landscapes and skies; a few of them were of people I do not know but none of them was one of the three kings. How strange.It makes me wonder: how exactly are there three kings ruling one kingdom? There is so much mystery about this place, and I cannot wait to uncover it all.My eyes fall on a woman standing at the end of the hall. The stoic look on her face suggests that she has not had a good laugh in ages. She appears to be somewhere in her forties; her black hair has a few gray strands that are tied up in a tight bun. It lays much emphasis on her rather large forehead. The lines in the corner of her head show that she has spent most of her life frowning rather than smiling. I suppose it explains why her dark brown eyes are void of emotion.“Here she is, ma’am. The king’s new girl.”The woman
Meredith’s POVAll three alphas are seated in armchairs facing the bed. Saul has his usual evil smirk with mischief twinkling in his eyes. Caelen, as always, is filled with curiosity and excitement. And of course, Alpha Roman, with absolutely no expression on his face, remains stoic as always. “Are you ready, little one?” Saul asks me, and I bite my bottom lip. I do not think I will ever be ready, but I might as well get this over with. So, I nod.“You look a lot better now. You are actually very pretty when you don’t have dirt on your face and try to steal our food,” Caelen remarks, and Saul chuckles. My smile is nervous, and I do not know whether to take that as a compliment or not. My gaze shifts to Roman, but he does not utter a word.Rather, his eyes trail up and down my body. When they stop at my eyes, I feel my wolf stir within me. She is excited; she purrs with delight at the contact. She wants to jump into his arms and never let go. I have to do everything within my power
