Meredith’s POV The pounding of my heart against my ribcage is the only sound in the room. Beads of sweat trickle down my face as my eyes remain locked with Roman’s furious ones. He walked in not long ago, and Caelen instantly told him about the phone he found on me. Roman hasn’t said anything since. He just stared at me with a burning fury, but there was something else in his eyes. I almost did not recognize it due to all the rage shielding it, but I saw it. The disappointment. I wanted to tell him that all this is just some misunderstanding and that I am not whatever mole they are talking about. But what valid reason could I possibly have for sneaking a phone around? How can I tell them that I am the runaway omega princess who is secretly hiding in their home to avoid the eyes of the council and my furious father--in-law? If they find out how much trouble I could bring them, then they will kick me out for sure. But a part of me knew that was not the only thing I was scar

Roman’s POVMy brothers and I sit in silence, neither of us desiring to speak. And I could not blame them. I did not want to speak either. I still find it hard to process everything that is going on. There is no way that Meredith is actually the mole. It just isn’t possible.I know I could have said the same thing about Amarie being a traitor all along. I suppose it is what I get for having even the tiniest bit of faith in a woman.Saul breaks the silence by releasing a long, agitated sigh. He ruffles his hair in frustration, and one can easily tell that his mind is troubled. “This doesn’t seem right, you guys. I mean, Meredith is just too weak to be a mole.”Caelen snorts. “That is exactly what women like her want you to think. They would portray themselves as weak, fragile creatures, so they would be the last person you would ever suspect.”Saul shakes his head, refusing to believe Caelen’s words. “It still just doesn’t make sense,“Caelen slams his palm on the table with a force

Meredith’s POVThe silence during the ride is really uncomfortable. Saul wouldn’t even look in my direction, and we've been driving for over ten minutes. We are being escorted by a convoy, but I still felt terribly alone despite being surrounded by so much security. The driver didn’t make a single sound; I couldn’t even hear his breathing. The same goes for Saul. He just sat by my side, typing away on his phone.I can’t take this anymore. This is all just too suffocating.“Saul...” I start, but he raises his hand to silence me. “No, not a word. I want silence,” he says coldly, and I frown. I do not know what gives me the confidence to place my hand on his and move even closer to him. But who am I kidding? This is Saul, who we are talking about here. He would never hurt me.I hope.He stops typing on his phone but still doesn’t look at me. So, I take it that I have gotten his attention. “This is all just a big misunderstanding; I am not the mole, and I know you know that. Just pleas

Roman’s POVHer expression when she sees me is comical. I have to say that I had a hard time trying not to laugh at her face. Her eyes are nearly as wide as saucers, and I can tell that I was most definitely the last person she had expected to see.But that comical feeling she gave me disappears when my eyes travel down her body. She has lost a ton of weight and is almost as tiny as a twig. Her thighs have become skinnier, her cheekbones are a bit more defined, and she has grown quite pale.What the fuck? Isn’t she eating?Maybe this is all just in my imagination; I have never seen her in jeans and a sweater as big as this before. She is usually naked, so I am not used to her body covered in such clothes. I need a better look.“Get naked,” is the first thing I tell her, and I see something in her eyes snap. Her fists clenched, and I could have sworn I heard a growl. She bars her teeth at me, and her eyes grow livid. What is she upset about now? It is not like this is the first time I

Meredith’s POVIt has been over three weeks since I have been in this manor. Each day has gone by in pretty much the same fashion. I wake up and do some morning exercises with Cassy. Read one of the books she had gotten from her home, talk a bit about each other’s childhood, eat dinner, then retire up to my room.I don’t go to sleep immediately, though. I keep trying to figure out exactly how these powers of mine work. There are times I try using my telekinesis on certain objects. I tested it on everything. weight, distance, and speed.At first, I started it off by lifting smaller objects like pens, forks, and books. Then I went for things bigger, like the chair, the nightstand, and even the bed. I tried to find out how far I needed to go to actually be able to use these powers.On the first day, I couldn’t lift anything more than two feet away from me. and now I can do it with anything at least fifteen feet away from me. It is amazing how my powers grow greatly by the day. Now I k
