Resisting The Alpha King 104
"I still see no reason as to why I have to come with you." I scowled bitterly as I looked out the box sized window that had been carved out by the side of the carriage. " Couldn't you just go alone? That's what you seem to have been doing for a while now."Noah sighed again for the hundredth time on this trip. He looked genuinely tired and worried, the worry lines and eye bags he was spotting were a good proof to my claims."I promise you it's really not in my power." He started. I was sure he had used this same line in the past explanations he had given but I didn't care. I just didn't care. " If it were up to me you wouldn't even be in here.""Oh really?" I snorted, scrunching up my face in a frown. "So you're saying if it were up to you, I wouldn't be in this carriage with you, meaning you don't want me in this carriage. In fact, you don't want me accompanying you.""What exactly do you want?" It was more of a frustrated groan than anything else. I knew what he meant was far from t

I almost regretted stepping in, but I didn't the moment I caught the eyes of our very own host, Adeline. She lit up and quite beautifully too as she excused herself from the couple she was once speaking to come talk to Noah and I."You came!" She drawled cheerily as she approached us, her heels clicking loudly behind her. The huge bear hug she gave me first before even acknowledging Noah confirmed what he'd said earlier in the carriage; she specially wanted me in attendance.I hoped. "Don't you look ravishing tonight?"Honestly, I was the one to be asking her that question. I guess I hadn't gotten a good look at her the last time we met because the woman in front of me didn't look like she could go head on with Noah or any man in fact. Soft colors from her makeup palette lined her eyes, lips and cheeks. She had on her neck and ears, a matching set of diamonds that I was too scared to calculate it's worth. A gold bracelet lined her left wrist and it matched her blue sequined gown perfec

You would think I'd have gotten used to waking up like this, but I definitely hadn't. Instead, each time I woke up like this, the pain I felt was worse than the last. Why did I have to go through this? I muttered with my eyes closed shut. I knew the drill by now, and knowing the outcome made it hard for me to want to do anything else. The moment I opened my eyes, a very deep pain would follow and to be honest, I wasn't sure I'd be able to endure it."Quick, give me that." I heard someone murmur. I wasn't unconscious, even though somehow I wished I was right now. I was awake but somehow it felt like I was disconnected from my body. I wasn't, it was just my body adjusting to the fact that I'm just waking up. " Quick, before she wakes up. "That was too late now, I was already awake wether they liked it or not and their incessant whispers weren't in any way helping. Not even in the slightest."Stop." I groaned out loud. I was sure I'd been loud enough because of the silence that followed

NOAH'S POV "I am not angry because someone tried to harm the royal family, I am angry because someone tried to harm you!" I had no idea if I'd finally voiced out the thoughts I'd been hoarding for quite sometime now. I wasn't sure if they were true or not. I was still trying to figure things out, but it didn't matter anymore. I'd spoken out, a little too loudly and the shocked expression on Bailey's face proved my fear. I watched her stare at me, her face a blank canvas. But I knew better. She was thinking, turning all the cogs in her head, trying to figure out if she had heard right or perhaps, if I truly meant what I'd said. Even I was stuck on that same hill and there was no going back from here onwards. "Never in my life have I worried about someone else who isn't me not to talk of a woman. I honestly thought something…""Stop." She cut me off, raising a finger to silence me. She made a move to speak but her perfectly manicured raised higher, an obvious sign she was maintaining

I don't wait till the carriage has fully stopped in front of the castle. Before the footmen could reach, I'd already thrown the door to the carriage open before bunching up my skirt and leaving Noah to his thoughts and whatever it was he wanted to do. The ride from Adeline's palace to ours was torture to say the least. I'd thought I'd get at least some moments to myself after my heated argument with Noah, so imagine my surprise when Noah came to summon me that it was time to leave. He was surprisingly calm after everything that had happened and for a moment, I started considering if I was on my hallucinating or imagining things.No, the way he kept on staring at me meant something else. His grip on my arm told me otherwise. Like a gentle reminder, I felt a tingle in the exact spot. Involuntarily, I turned my head back, just to lock gazes with Noah, who was still standing by the carriage but had taken a keen interest on how the back of my head looked like. It was hard not to pay him a

My walk to the throne room this time was different than the last. Perhaps it was the shift in the air or the anticipation as to what I would get when I got there, I wasn't quite sure. The only thing I was certain about, was the fact that I would be getting some answers or at least some clue that would lead me to the bottom of this. Hopefully.I glanced around the hallway I was walking through, memories rushing by. The very first time I'd walked this hallway was after our great Noah had decided I'd been in the dungeon for too long and actually needed some air, after several pleadings and inhumane grovelings from my family that is. If I had known what that devil had in mind for me, I wouldn't have walked down this same path those days ago. Would I?I closed my eyes momentarily and as if Zoe had switched on a reel of my memories, I watched as every memory associated with the hallway whizzed past my senses. With each one I replayed in my mind, my thoughts process changed. It finally stopp

NOAH'S POV "Noah" I'd heard my name a million times but I meant every word when I said no one could compare when it came to the sound of my name on Bailey's lips. It was weird because I'd heard speak lots of times. When I didn't even want to hear her, she was always yelling something to my ears. I'd expected something else, a shriek or any loud means to express her discomfort but instead she kept mute, her eyes flicking from my face to my lips that were only a few inches from hers. Her lips were so close, so close that if I could just part my lips a little, the rest would be history. I hoped. We stayed like this for a while, neither of us moving. I felt something stir in me and I bit back on my lips, fighting the urge to act on this burning desire that seemed to come out of nowhere."Sire." It was my wolf. He didn't need to talk much, I knew what he wanted. I could feel it burning deep in my bones. At least, that was the plausible explanation I could give to all of this. "Your high

I stared at the gift basket in front of me, muttering another string of curses. This should be like, the one millionth time? I wasn't sure, I'd definitely lost count. Despite the fact that I'd been staring at the basket for a while now, it made no attempt to move. In fact, it stayed rooted to it's spot, its very presence reminding me of the person that'd sent it. Noah. Yes, you heard right, Noah. If it wasn't surprising to you, it was to me. Because after our huge and recent fight where I'd clearly walked out on him, why would he send me gifts? Was there a bomb in there that would blow up the minute I got close enough to it? Or perhaps there was a snake in there, just waiting to pounce on me and poison me to my death? Or maybe…"Maybe he's just being nice." Zoe finished my thoughts for me. " Did you think about that?""Nice? Noah, nice?" I shook my head. A lot of words could be used to describe Noah but nice was certainly not one of them. It just wasn't possible. " He's not nice and h

"Attention everyone." I smiled giddily as Noah knocked on a champagne glass continuously with a spoon. " I would like to make a toast."Amidst the chatter of people that had died down, my hand found Noah's and the reassuring squeeze he gave made me smile all the more. " After the defeat of the rogues and my cousin that tried to invade the kingdom, my wife and I have good news to share with you, we're expecting a baby."The cheer that erupted from the crowd was massive. From the corner of my eyes at the buffet table, I watched dad wipe off a tear from his eyes. Mum on the other hand couldn't stop mouthing I'm going to be a grandma soon. "On this note, eat, drink and make merry. " Another round of applause followed Noah as he settled back down into his seat next to me. An upbeat tune filled the air as the musicians just at the corner of the stage began to play. What was a wedding with some music, right?"I know I'm not the only one who's been dying to ask this." Mother chipped in. "Wh

I was stunned, stuck in between anger and frustration at his tone. How could he even mutter that, like he didn't just snap my cousin's neck into half."You bastard!" I couldn't stop the tears from falling at this point. " How dare you ..""I told you. " His smile was smug. "She's nothing to me, nothing but a pawn that has served its purpose and she had to go. You're the one I'm doing this for. Join me, be my rogue queen and let's rule this kingdom together."" I…" whatever insults I was about to rain on Eric were cut short by the sound of a horn blaring loudly. It was ear deafening and for a moment after it had passed I could still hear my ears ring. I glanced at Eric and the fury on his face could only mean two things, either he was still mad at me or the horn signified the start of something else. Something neither Eric and I were ready to face. Before I could get any more words out,the sound of stomping feet reached my ears. It didn't take any more time for the owner to come; a rog

The last thing I wanted was to listen to this fool ramble on, but at this point I liked to think the urge to satisfy my curiosity was way more important than anything else."It was a fine cold night." He started in something I only assumed to be his imitation of a poetic voice. To be honest, he actually sounded like a croaking frog on a broken record. " I was pondering on ….""Would you get to the point?" I cut him off. "The faster we talk, the quicker I don't get to hear your annoying voice anymore.""Well someone's in a bad mood." Eric smiled, his huge grin giving him a creepy look. " I wouldn't say I blame you though, Given the pathetic position you're in …""Just get to it!" I snapped, cutting him off. His smile melted into a look of annoyance qnf it was my turn to smile now. " We don't have all day.""Fine." He was less enthusiastic than in the beginning. " I've always had one goal in my life, for a long time and that has been to bring dear Noah down. But you see, my plan had alw

The plink plink sound of water leaking out from somewhere was the first sound I registered when I regained consciousness. Slowly, I peeled my eyes open and it was weird; I felt not an ounce of pain as I wearily stared at my surroundings. Usually, the mere thought of even opening my eyes came with an intense amount of pain. So why then didn't I……"Arghhhhh." I had no idea about how long I was passed out for, but the fact that I could yell so loudly was strange, given that I was supposed to be weak and we'll honestly, dead or halfway dead. " What the hell? What's going on?"It was no surprise that no one else could answer the many questions I had so I decided to take matters into my own hands by taking a quick survey of my surroundings, not like I had so much of a choice anyway. High grey walls stared back at me. From the corner of my eyes I could make out a tiny hole in the ceiling, that's where the leak was coming from. Green moss lined the floors and a pungent smell hit my nose. I wa

I wasn't quite sure what exactly had triggered the excruciating pain in my head, if it was seeing Noah struggling and all tangled up in a net trap or perhaps Eric walking in like he owned the forest alongside the kingdom. I never liked Eric and always thought he was up to some kind of shady business and now he'd proved it. Or perhaps it was even Nita who had shockingly appeared beside this monster or maybe I was just hallucinating after being tortured and unconscious for a good amount of time in this forest. Either way the pain in my head wasn't relieving for one bit and the way the new pair of people droned on, seemed to amplify the hurt in my head."That's Queen Nita to you now." She smirked. " Right Alpha Eric?"I hadn't heard right. There was no way I'd just heard what Nita had just said, or maybe the pain in my head was jugging up my ability to understand sentences now. Yeah, that had to be it."Yes, my Queen." I fought the urge to barf at Eric's words. Underneath that will to vo

NOAH'S POV The atmosphere was tense, the air in the room stuffy. The temperature was humid too and the feel of the damp slimy liquid snaking down my back only worsened my mood. I spun to the large window in the room and realized it was open. It was, so why was I feeling like I'd been dropped right in the middle of a volcano that was just about to erupt. I tore my gaze away from the window and onto the men that stood with me in the throne room, each one a good difference from the others. They were all at alert, each one ready and avoiding my gaze but I couldn't see a trace of the humidity I was feeling. "Was I the only one suffering this predicament?"Any news yet?" The question slid past my lips immediately but I didn't regret it. "Have you found anything else?""Asides the reports that were brought in earlier." The guard who spoke up paused after that. If it was for suspense or he was simply reading the room, I wasn't quite sure. There was one thing I was sure about though, if h

I stood rooted to my spot, the height of the doors towering over me. I'd been here lots of times but somehow, and strangely today and at this moment, I didn't want to go in. I didn't even want to be anywhere near here in the first place. But was it necessary? Yes, highly important even. Did I have another alternative? Obviously yes. Did I really have to inform Noah this time? Not really, but I wasn't too keen on doing this all wrong. I shook my head of the many thoughts and questions that were trying to creep in. It wouldn't take long before they would all swarm me and keep me disoriented for the rest of the day. It was a surprise why Noah hadn't called me out for loitering about his front door for a while now because I was very sure he could feel and hear me, thanks to his heightened werewolf senses. Why he was quiet about it though, I had no idea."I thought you didn't want to come in." He let out immediately the door creaked open. His back was turned to me but I couldn't help but f

I didn't see that coming. I knew yelling and pushing all of his buttons would definitely get a reaction out of him but I wasn't expecting what he just did in a million years. And you know what was worse, I actually let him go further with it. The moment his lips brushed with mine, I should have kicked against it. I should have hit him square in the jaw and given him a kick in the groin. Even biting down hard on his lips wouldn't have been bad. Instead I let him in, and shamelessly let my eyelids flutter shut while I was at it too. He definitely wasn't expecting it, the soft gasp he let out was proof enough. I knew that I knew so little about Noah, but never in a million universes did my mind going to him being a good kisser. Scratch that, an excellent one.The way his lips seemed to move over mine definitely needed to be studied. It was smooth and silky and I found myself aching for even more pleasure his tongue seemed to be giving. With each time our lips collided, something shifted

NOAH'S POV "I have done all you've asked of me, my King." I was barely listening to the man in front of me. I knew he was speaking, hell, I could see his lips work up and down but for the life of me, I just couldn't register one word he was saying. " The borders have been checked and are all under twenty four hours surveillance.""I don't need to listen to you. Any of this." Bailey. Her words buzzed in my ear. It'd been ringing for so long that if I wasn't careful, I was sure I wouldn't be able to recognize my own voice or my wolf's either."Are you listening to me, Sire?" He caught my attention for a while. I nodded and gave a wave of my hand, an obvious gesture that he should go on with whatever it was he was rambling about." There's no way anyone would be able to sneak in. An army of rogues invading, is highly unlikely at this point. Impossible, even."That amount of security and still Bailey escaped, to only the goddess knows where. Where the hell was she? She had been gone f
