"It All started when his mother left." That definitely piqued my interest. "Noah's home wasn't exactly perfect, nor was it peaceful.

"Pfft." I scoffed. That didn't justify anything. " I don't know if you overheard me and my mum, but I don't think that's a valid excuse."

"It's not." A solemn expression fell on Ethan's face. He stared ahead, like he was gazing at something only he could see. " If you knew his parents you'd understand what I mean."

"And you do?" I didn't know when it slipped out. If it wasn't so laced with sarcasm, I wouldn't have been bothered. But it was, and Ethan picked up on it too. " I'm sorry, it's just.."

"I get it." He cut me off, gently. " Everyone thinks he's such a monster, no one wants to see things from his point of view. It's sad honestly, but I was there with him and I understand him..I'm not saying he's right but it's not entirely his fault."

"That's going to take me a long time to believe." I whistled and Ethan let out a small laugh. " He'll have to…."

    I woke up startled, air rushing up my lungs. My chest was tight and breathing oxygen in and out felt like a chore. My eyes flew open but everywhere was shrouded in darkness. It took me a while to realize a sack was actually over my head, shielding my face from the rest of the world. My gag was no longer on, so that was some sort of relief."Hey!" I yelled to no one in particular, the sack moving along with my head. "Hey! Is anyone there?"I tried to move my hands and realized I was tied to a chair, a metal one at that, cold seeping into my skin. Another quick survey showed my legs were also bound to the metal chair and I muffled a scream, frustration coursing through my veins.Where the hell was I? I wondered. A dull ache pulsed at the back of my head and I winced, unable to touch it. Then it all came rushing back. The muffles at the front of my door, the two guys and poof, me falling unconscious. That didn't explain how I got here though. I hadn't a faintest clue where here was."Hel

    A groan slid past my lips as I turned, pulling a good amount of the duvet with me. My head was heavy despite the fact that I was resting on two giant, super soft and cozy pillows. I felt three gentle taps on my head and I moaned, pain coursing through my body.The amount of pain I'd felt in the last week and more, I was certain I hadn't felt that much pain in my life. Even when I tripped the first time on my bicycle, or when I was burned during one of my big kitchen experiment, the pain never lingered. In a couple of hours or days, I was fine again. But now, headaches were like oxygen and I'd even used a cane to limp, something my father hadn't even attempted yet.Another three taps came again, these ones a bit louder than the first three. They left a dull ache in my head I was sure one of the concoctions Madame Alexis left on my bedside table would cure. But right now, the distance between me and my bedside table could be compared to the Pacific ocean and more."You'll get through th

    NOAH I didn't spare Bailey a second glance as I marched out of her room. It felt good to be honest, finally beating her at something and watching her break a bit. If someone had told me that The Bailey Gayle was capable of crying, I'd have called that person a liar. But seeing sadness in her eyes and how her entire demeanor changed was weirdly satisfying. In one swift motion, I was out of her room and on the hallway, en route to my study. There were some details I needed to finalize. "Noah! I mean, your highness!" I heard someone call behind me. I didn't stop, instead I increased my steps. If it was important, whoever he or she was, would run. " Your majesty, please wait.""If it's important, you'd do the needful to catch up." I had no idea if it had anything to do with Bailey but I was feeling unstoppable at the moment. Untouchable even. It felt like I was out of this world and I wasn't ready to come down yet. " Or you're not that aged are you now?"" You make good jokes, your maje

    "Just the lady we've been waiting for." Noah announced the moment the double doors were pushed open to let me in. Two guards stood at attention, flunking both sides. Their faces held no expression, lips are eyes trained to depict emptiness. Just like their sould were, I presumed. "Come in, come in."A sigh escaped my lips as I took the first step into the dining area. Chefs and cooks were in a line behind Noah, probably awaiting my arrived. Eric and Ethan sat away from each other whilst throwing one another murderous gazes and Noah, Noah sat at his usual seat, a big smile on his face. Immediately I stepped in, two new guards replaced the ones that came in with me. It had been like that since I woke up to a new day this morning. Every hour, a new guard would replace the one by my side.When I'd woken up this morning, four guards were at my door; two inside my room and the other outside. By the time I was ready for breakfast, I was already seeing new faces. On my way to the dining room,

    Oliver, Oliver, why did that name ring such a faint bell in my head? Or maybe it was Wulfric? Wulfric was a very peculiar name maybe that's why it stuck to me?Or perhaps I just overheard Ethan saying it. Or maybe it was Sage? To be honest, I'd only gotten familiar with the name because of Nita. She just wouldn't shut up about how Beta Eric and Noah sage were related. She used to paint Eric as a slightly less annoying asshole but spending the last few weeks with him had shown me otherwise. He was worse than Nita's imagination and till this day, I'm very glad, he didn't pick her.Things really turned out in her favor. But for me,I couldn't quite say the same thing.Still lost in my thoughts, I let my feet lead me, walking only by instinct and luck. It continued on like that, till I found myself just at the door step of the kitchen. It was wide open and a few maids and chefs gathered around. They had a lot of work on their hands because all three sinks and compartments were filled to t

    Ethan's words rang continuously like an annoying bell in my head. I'd replayed that scene over and over again and truthfully I was already feeling a headache coming on.Where did I go wrong? I thought. I thought Ethan and I were close and he'd almost told me that day, if I hadn't been so stupid to cut him short, I wouldn't be in this dilemma right now. What went wrong?Mentally, I traced back my steps. I don't think I'd done anything that would restrict him from telling me about it, so why did he just black out like that? Or was it Noah?No, it couldn't be. He had no idea I was making my findings about his dad. Or did he? Did someone tip him off? Could it be the same person that told him about my parents coming to see me? It couldn't be. I only just decided to investigate him, so how would he know?I ruled that one out. Unless he now had Diana's celestial powers, I doubt he knew about my plan. He was just out to make my life miserable and that's what he'd been focusing on. Funny enoug

    NOAH "The…." A loud thud cut off whatever it was I was going to say. I peeped behind me and found out it came from outside my door. Someone had thrown something. I muttered under my breath. "That bastard.""Who the hell is that moron!!" I seethed, my gaze still trained on the door. "Show yourself, don't make me come out to get you. If I do, you'd wish you had died the night before!"Silence. I heard nothing and no one moved. The only thing I could hear was my pulsing heart, racing with nothing but anger and rage inside. Deciding I'd had enough, I got up from my chair angrily, a loud screech filling the room as I pulled out my chair from its former position.A few strides and I was just at my door. I took the doorknob and yanked it open but what I saw wasn't what I was expecting in a million years. Just lying in front of my door was a small sized slip-on, it's owner coming to mind immediately. I glanced back at the door and a huge dent had appeared."Curse you!" What exactly was this

    Its been days since our last run in with each other and I must say, Noah was taking the insult really well. It'd been three days, and we hadn't even so much as bumped into each other. Talk less of having a conversation or better still, an argument. My last statement definitely got to him, that's why he was so shocked and obviously at a loss for words. I barely knew Noah, but there was one thing I was certain about, Noah hated being compared his dad. The main question now is, was that a good thing or not?I shut my jotter frustrated. I'd gotten it just before I went snooping in Noah's study. It was useless at the time because there was literally nothing on it. Not even a doodle and why? All because of Noah freaking Sage.I tried to reach my back but the pain I felt was out of this world. According to Madame Alexis, I'd bruised my back. Clearly, she tried to pry out what kind of mischief I'd gotten myself into, but I was one tough nut to crack."Your highness." A knock at the door stopp

    "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
