Resisting The Alpha King 57
Noah The view ahead was quiet, serene and still. The trees stood unmoving, only swaying their branches when a slight wind seemed to ripple through. The night was young and the moon bright, although not particularly full. I glanced at my wrist watch before looking back out at the window. It was late and still no word from him.I wish I could say I was surprised, but I wasn't. I'd predicted this exact same thing and it looked like it had come to pass. If things were any different then I should have received a letter on my desk hours ago.It was Ethan. Just like he said he would, he really did leave before sundown. I did hear rumours from the servants that he didn't till high noon though, but that wasn't the point. He left without telling me and didn't send his usual letter that he had arrived. Normally, he'd send an attached letter written by Michelle cussing me out, but tonight, there was nothing. Neither his nor hers.I went back to the night of the marking ceremony and everything th

I looked sideways for any other beings as I snuck out of my room. The door kissed its frame gently, signaling me that it was now shut tight. I straightened, before doing another sweep of the hallway.It was empty with no guard or human in sight. Some of the lights were switched off and the ones left on cast a shadow on the pillars bathing the hallway in some kind of eerie vibe. Mentally preparing myself, I sighed before letting my feet do their jobs.Unlike the other time, I knew my destination. If I was going to be able to access it or not, was something I wasn't quite sure of. I was also sure I was being quiet enough, but my paranoid mind kept on telling me I was making so much noise even as cold seeped up my bare feet. The walk to the kitchen was long and dreary with different emotions crawling through my mind, that, and Zoe's voice too.Zoe was the name I'd given to my wolf. After our plan to block Noah, we'd started talking more and I found it weird to address her as my wolf so I

"What exactly do you think you're doing, Bailey?" I stared at him in shock, my mouth unable to form any words. My eyes did nothing to leave his face even though his facial expression wasn't fun to look at all. " I'm talking to you!"I still said nothing. I just pressed my lips harder, like words could come out with me moving my lips."Are you deaf?" He screeched and I winced. His voice was like a combination of eight or bass drums together and it was hurting my head. If I didn't get him to stop, I could go deaf. " Bailey, I'm talking to you! I…""...can see that." I finished up for him. I got to my feet and my toe almost knocked the pot over. I thought of hiding it behind my dress, but we both knew he'd seen it already. Instead, I sidestepped the kitchen accessory and walked up to him. " Why do you have to yell though?""I ask the questions here." He snapped, his face inching closer to mine.." What the hell do you think you're doing?""Even a toddler could tell I was relaxing but you

It'd been three days since my last run in with Noah. After he'd disappeared right after blocking me, I hadn't seen him again. My broken door was literally replaced the next morning,but he didn't tag along. He didn't ask any message be delivered to me either. I was even expecting a snarky remark from the guards at least, I got nothing. They just did their job and went by their way peacefully, like the were never here in the first place.Zoe was in some kind of mourning state ever since that day. She spoke up and we always had our conversations but she felt hollow, I could feel it too. We both felt like we'd lost an important part of us we never knew we needed, Noah and his wolf. I was doing fine without it, whenever I started to feel empty in my chest all I had to do was picture Noah's smug smile and the hell he was putting me through and that would do the trick. In a matter of seconds, that empty cavity would be filled with rage for that pompous prick.No matter how hard she tried to

This was a joke. This had to be a joke. I stared at Madame Alexis and she held my gaze. Her face was still and it hurt me because it meant one thing, she was right and I was wrong. Really wrong."Are you alright dear?" Madame Alexis called, breaking me out of my thought bubble. " You look a little pale.""I, I ." I didn't even have the strength to make a single sentence. My palms felt clammy and my throat was dry. I swallowed a big lump before replying. " I I'm fine. I'm fine Madame Alexis…""You don't look it." She cut in, her palm pressed against my forehead. She tapped a spot a couple of times before moving on to the next. "Holy moon goddess, you're turning white.""Am I?" I wouldn't be surprised if I was. Hell, I hated disappointments and this, hurt more than every of Noah's extreme punishments combined together. Ok maybe not quite but you know what I mean. " I'm fine. Really.""Only a baby will believe that." She huffed, shaking her head. " Come on now, in you go.""Madame Alexis

"Go find her Bailey" The words rang continuously in my ear. "Go find her." What did she mean by that? Of course I knew, but did she really mean that? One minute she was screaming she couldn't tell me anything and the next she was practically nudging me to go find Noah's mum who may or may not be alive, after all.It's not like Madame Alexis gave me a truckload of answers,all she did was tell me that the initials didn't belong to Mrs Sage and there was a possibility she was still alive, even though the chances were really really low."What are we going to do now ?"Zoe asked the question that had been on my mind since my conversation with Madame Alexis. She had left me a few hours back, leaving me sprawled on my bed with a million things in my mind. Zoe called again after getting no response from me. "Bailey can you hear me."Loud and clear, Zoe." I chirped. " Only, I don't have the answer to the question you just asked. I'm stumped too.""So this is it then? We lock up shop and call it

The rest of Zoe's sentence died inside of me. I could see the door, no, the remains of it sprawled on the floor convinced me I wasn't dreaming even though I might need a pinch in the cheeks to confirm. The night was still and the chills spreading down my spine was strange but I knew the source of it. Our communication block may had been severed but some things just couldn't change. The blazing inferno in his eyes were still the same, or maybe even worse now. I wasn't sure about that, but I was sure about one thing, mad was an understatement where he was."You see." Zoe drawled within me.. " I told you I could hear someone..""And you couldn't clarify that it was Noah freaking Sage?" I mentally lashed out at her. If she had told me it was Noah I would have known what to do immediately. I would have known what to do before he got here. " You could have told me he was the one coming here!""But what did you expect?" Zoe countered. " Who else do you think would be coming up around here by

With a contented sigh, I closed the book shut before setting it up on my bedside table. There were two piles, one for the books I'd completed and the other for the ones I was yet to read. In total, I'd gotten a whopping amount of 12 books and in the space of two days I'd read and thoroughly digested six. I had no idea if it was good progress or not.Reluctantly, I wiped a tear in my eye. No, don't get me wrong, I was fine or maybe I wasn't. The book I'd just read had the most beautiful ending. And I wasn't a big fan of happy endings, so me saying that was a big ups to the author of that book. I glanced at both stacks again. A good number of them were romance books and spoke about love and all and it was weird. Why? Because Noah gave them to me. Yes, the ruthless Alpha Noah. He was so against love and women entirely, so why did he recommend a handful of romance books for me?Noah. He'd been on my mind since that night. I had no idea what I was expecting but a tiny part of me wished he

"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
