Resisting The Alpha King 92
It looked like time had stopped and for a moment, the only thing I could focus on was Madame Alexis's voice piercing through the mahogany finishing of the door."Your highness, I would like a word with her majesty, the Luna." She had said. I wasn't in my right senses so I had no idea what tone that rubbed off on me. If it was intimidating or anything, I had no idea. All I knew was, I didn't want her coming in here. At least not now."We're busy." Noah's gruff voice cut through my chest, pulling my attention back to earth. He was no longer staring at me, his eyes now trained on the door."Come back later. We have things to discuss."I'd never been more glad to hear those words from Noah. His eyes were still trained on the door, but mind had shifted from his grip on my arm to the back of his head. For the first time, I was actually happy with the reply he gave Madame Alexis. No sooner had that joy appeared did It leave too as something else dawned on me. If Noah wasn't going to let in M

I hissed loudly at the object in my grasp. It was already a hassle trudging my injured foot around, now I had to worry about this one too. My leg was no longer swollen, I think. I wasn't quite sure because my pretty leg had been wrapped in a cast. I wasn't aware of this, if I was I'd have wrapped the cast around the head of whoever's idea that was. It felt itchy and my limb was basically begging for fresh air. On top of that, like I hadn't gone through enough already, I had to walk around with this cane, which was hell bent on exposing me to the whole world tonight. I sighed wistfully, after acknowledging there wasn't much i could do about the cane or my leg either. I had to keep moving, there was no time for excuses.I know you might be wondering how I'm able to be on my feet, even I wondered that when I first got up. But after some clarification, I was okay again.The sound of soft running water reached my ears. It was almost barely existent and it came along with some kind of peace

I couldn't believe my eyes. Or maybe I could, I just didn't want to acknowledge the piece of information as being the truth. Madame Alexis knew the former king was still alive. Madame Alexis knew where he was hiding. And she was even going to see him tonight. Where else would she be going in the dead of the night? I was the only injured royal and person in the castle so there was no way she was going to attend to someone. Even as irresponsible as it may sound, I was the only one who loved roaming around at night, it was my thing. Everybody basically knew! This was fishy. Really fishy and very disturbing.My gaze went back to the paper again. It was a really rough sketch, if sketch was even the right word for it. Doodles and splashes of ink spoiled the parchment, leaving only a few details to the eye. The paper was in a bad shape but it wasn't totally useless. I could still see the writings and make out a few things from it. At the centre was King Oliver's name, circled with some initi

Without a care in the world about anyone hearing me, I headed to my first destination; the kitchen.The walk to the kitchen was uneventful as all the guards had probably gone to bed or they hadn't rotated their shifts to get to this place yet. A couple of times if mumble a prayer to the moon goddess so I wouldn't be found by Noah or Laura. Luckily for me, or maybe for once she decided to answer my prayers, I got to the kitchen in one piece, without encountering anyone. The big doors of the kitchen wasn't locked so I carefully gave one of them a push, painstakingly taking my time in order not to make any noises. The moment I got in, something reached my ears. It was a snore, light and barely audible but I could hear it quite clearly. I'd originally planned on switching on the bulb, but that didn't seem like a great idea anymore. The lights in here we're really bright and it would wake whoever it was up, no doubt. Without any other option, I tiptoed deeper into the kitchen, hoping my we

I watched in silence as the moon stared back at me, basically unmoving. It wasn't staring at me per say, but from my position on the bed, I had a clear view of the celestial body assigned to rule the night. The air was still and a couple of stars twinkled in the distance inaudibly, while inside I was boiling. My head was banging, my mind was racing, my heartbeat was thumping so hard against my ribcage. My fingers couldn't stop peeling off the nails on both my hands and my feet couldn't stop their not so gentle taps on the wooden floor. A loud ding far up on the wall caught my attention. I looked up to stare at the giant had of the clock stopping at 12. It was 3am and Madame Alexis was nowhere to be found. In a bid to pass away more time, I brought up the crumples piece of paper I'd picked up from Madame Alexis's room earlier. Yes, the stupid fake blueprint that made me waste my time. I stared at the paper and a renewed sense of fury washed over me. The letters seemed to twist and turn

NOAH'S POV I let my eyes roll down the figure in front of me. He was heavily dressed, his golden plates of armour glinting under the yellow bulbs illuminating the throne room. I maintained my posture on the golden throne, it's soft cushions offering comfort to my back and lower back. My legs were crossed over the other and the facade of being courageous the guard in front of me was putting up, was certainly interesting to say the least."What did you say?" I let out slowly, my voice laced with ice and poison. It was late at night and everything had gone to bed except the moon or stars. " I don't think I heard you right.""My King." Suddenly the guard couldn't look me in the eye. He seemed to have taken a peculiar interest in the cream colored walls of the throne room and the decorations each one held. Ranging from the giant clock in the corner, the huge portraits and the stained glass windows, he scanned them all, making sure he locked gazes with everyone and everything except me. "I

We all watched as Diana hovered into the room, literally flowing. I had no idea why she always had me in a chokehold whenever I saw her. If it was her aura that commanded respect and the entire attention wherever she walked into or the fact that she literally floated everywhere, I had no idea but at this moment, I was sure of one thing, she was here to help me get out of this mess. Hopefully."Why are you questioning poor Bailey?" She came to my side and draped an arm over my shoulder. It took everything in me not to lean into her embrace. I thought of it but decided against it eventually, I didn't want anyone thinking or insisting on any form of foul play in all of this. "Can't you see she's hurt and needs rest?""Of course." Quipped Madame Alexis rather haughtily. I met her gaze and she looked furious, although for some strange reason, I felt she was only staring at me and channeling all of her inner madness and sadness to me. " And she would be doing just that if she'd just stayed

I had no idea which was more shocking, what was rooted in the middle of the clearing or the fact that all my questions would be answered if I could just take this bold step. It was weird really, I'd been looking up to this moment my entire life, literally and now, now I was standing in front of the pinnacle that held my answers and I had no willpower to move."Well then?" Madame Alexis was behind me almost instantly. It was so sudden and unexpected I jerked forward , almost stumbling into a pothole in front of me."What are you waiting for?"To be honest, I had no idea. Suddenly I couldn't move and found myself rooted in the mushy damp mud on the ground. For some strange reason, I didn't want to go on anymore. My throat felt parched and my palms felt clammy."Are you okay, Bailey?" If I hadn't known better, I would have thought she was concerned. But from the corner of my eye, she was definitely smirking and I felt like sliding my hand across her cheek. Painfully too. " What happened?

"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
