Resisting The Alpha King 18
FLAHBACK (Before The Ceremony) The low hum of the fan swirling around filled the room. The bright bulb from up the ceiling hurt my eyes but I was too tired to switch it off. Tired? I didn't think that was the word. All I knew was I didn't like the way I was feeling and this bright light wasn't helping matters. Tapping around my bed lighly, my hand found a rubber ball. Lisa's ball. Channeling some part of my frustration to the ball, I threw it and it bounced right on the socket, shredding the room into total darkness. I guess playing catch with Lisa had it's advantages. "Who is it?" I groaned. That knock on my door was the last thing I needed right now. " Just go away." "Bailey, it's me." Nita's soft voice came from the other side. " Please open up." "I'm sleeping." I pressed my face on a pillow, muffling my voice in the process. "Just go away." The door creaking open let me know Nita in fact did not take my advise. Before I could yell Jack Robinson the lights came back on and

The walk to the dining room was awkward as hell. Awkward because every single maid Gustav and I came across made it their sole duty of riling me up by making sure their foreheads touched every inch of the shiny ground. Gustav on the other hand wasn't helping matters. He was walking too close to me for comfort, and he was constantly breathing down my neck.Relax Gustav, it's not like I could disappear into thin air. Right now, I actually wished wereolves could do that. We passed a giant glass stained window and I caught a whiff of my reflection. I was in the dress Noah had handpicked for me. It was a blue kimono like gown with a distinct flowery pattern. It's neckline was very flattering, leaving a lot to the human eye and none to ones imagination. It seemed our Alpha had a thing for dresses. Either that or he knew I hated dresses and this was one of his many ways to punish me. If I could I wouldn't wear it, but seeing it was either this or my underwear, I decided to please Noah this

The room was quiet, several eyes on me. Ranging from big ones to small ones and different colored irises, we had them all in here. If looks could kill, I'd have not only been dead by now, but also decapitated and cremated too.A total of five elders were with me in the room, alongside Eric who'd just been scowling since we got here. We were in a different room, different from the palace and every other room in it. Instead of bright paint, a dull gloomy gray color was splattered everywhere. The walls were high up and arched upwards into some kind of dome. There were no windows, and it made me wonder how the hell we all hadn't passed out by now. There were also six doors linkes to each other with some strange line running along the walls. I didn't know much, but something told me they weren't normal.In the midst of all this, was a huge and round wooden table. There were seven seats but just six were occupied. The Five elders in their respective seats, Eric on his and an empty chair for

Everyone's heads whipped to the direction the voice came from. As far as I knew, Noah hated interruptions but this one, this one he accepted with open arms and even a smile too.I had no idea who had walked in because my back was turned to the door, but when I did take a peek, I was shocked. The voice that interrupted us was calm like the tides gently washing up against the shore on a sunny beach day. But the face I saw was definitely a case of before in before meets after scenes.The old lady walked towards us, a slight leap in her stride. Her cane kissed the tiled ground so loudly, the sound bounced around the walls. Her hair was a sparkling silver and it looked like it would catch the light if she were outside. In no time, she was in front of me, eyes trained at Noah."My king." She gave a curt nod. She beamed and I noticed half of her dentition were gone. " It's so good to see you again.""The pleasure is mine." Noah replied, all cheerily. " What brings you here today? At this hou

After the bizarre incident everyone trickled out, myself included leaving Noah to his thoughts. As I stepped through the unfamiliar walls of wherever I was, my mind drifted back to Noah. I wasn't his biggest fan or his fan at all, but I could tell he was distraught. If it was from the Elders not fully in support of him, or Diana's revelation or even Eric's outburst, I didn't know which would be troubling him the more. Whichever it was, he needed time to soak it all in and that was what I was giving him.Like I'd said, the hallway of this building was strange and nothing compared to the palace. As much as I hated it, I was kind of getting used to that place.Kind of.I continued my walk with nowhere in particular. Until someone else stepped in front of me. Almost like he'd been waiting for me to get here. We stared each other down for a while before I broke the silence."What are you doing here?" He wasn't in the pathetic state that he was. He seemed to have recovered and his arm was b

The wind billowed in, sending in a few leaves inside my room. My bed was unkempt with torn pieces of silk fabric in every nook, cranny and corner you could think of. A pair of scissors lay haphazardly on my bed and I smiled. Intuitively, my gaze flicked to what I was wearing and I felt my heart swell with pride.I was in a pair of black pants a little lose at the end and a slightly jumbo sized top to complete the look. On my neck, the hook of a cloak I'd made clamped shut, securing the piece of material firmly.After my not so friendly run in with Eric this afternoon, I gave all he'd said a thought and unfortunately, there was a grain of truth in all the nonsense he'd been spitting.I hadn't seen Nita since that night and I hadn't made any attempt whatsoever to reach her. I literally had no excuse because I had all the resources in the world. I was a queen now, I still hated the way it sounded, but I didn't make use of it. Not anymore.I peered out the window one more time, mentally

Noah I stared at the double doors, a thousand emotions running through my mind at the same time. A quick glance at my wrist watch showed me the time was 10:45pm.It was almost midnight and she decided this was the best time to meet?I should be halfway in bed by now. I'd attended to everything I needed to and all that was left was sleep, but she had other plans. Sighing wistfully, I pushed the doors and stepped inside, my footsteps filling the room. The room was dark but I could see her from where I was standing. Feel her too. She knew I was here, she was just trying to play bait."Welcome, Alpha." She drawled, turning towards me. I felt her flick her wrist and the lights came on, bathing us in a bright light from the dangling chandelier. " Thank you for honoring my invitation.""No, I'm not accepting that." I groaned before walking to the nearest desk. Plopping unto the chair, I rested my chin on my hands urging her to go on. " Really Diana?""Please forgive me." She walked to my

The walk back home was silent,leaves crunching beneath my boots being the only sound you could hear. Aside a few hoots here and there, rustling leaves and squirrels chasing each other over the branches, it was pretty much just me. Me and my thoughts.My mind wandered back to what just happened. Did Nita really mean that? It wasn't my fault. I tried, tried everything in my power to prevent the whole situation from blowing up and that's all she had to say?On one hand, I was inclined to be mad. But on the other hand, I kinda saw her point of view in all this. Her own perspective and the one thing that stood out was hurt. She was hurt that her opportunity was snatched away from her and she couldn't even do much. Nothing at all, to be honest. Still, that didn't give her a reason to be mad at me. It wasn't valid.I sighed, raising the hoodie over my head as I got back into town. The palace was at a distance but I knew my way around the city better than anyone. No sooner had I taken the sho

Resisting The Alpha King Epilogue
"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
