All Chapters of Resisting The Alpha King: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

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

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

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

Noah I raised my fingers to my temple, pressing each one harder by the second. I'd hoped that with as much force that I exerted on the spot, the lesser time it would take to alleviate the pain banging in my head. Unfortunately, the opposite was the result. The pain intensified, the once in a while throb turning into a full on concert. Not only that, the commotion around me wasn't in anyway helping.I was at my seat in the dinning area, the council of elders, Eric and Diana flunked around on the other seats, yelling at the top of their voices."Shut up, you old oaf!" That was Diana yelling at Elder Dave at the top of her voice. "You keep your mouth shut or I'll do it for you!""Me, Old?" Dave was in absolute shock. " You're calling me old. Have you looked in the mirror lately?...""Yes, and I look flawless." Diana cut in, waving her hair in one swift motion. The luscious locs swooped and fell on one shoulder exposing a patch of skin. " You, on the other hand, there isn't much differe

NOAH Bells dinged in the distance, the monotone causing my head to ache all the more. I pressed my eyelids tighter, hoping to find some sort of comfort but the reverse was the case. Immediately, tendrils of pain shot up, their meeting point being the centre of my forehead.I couldn't take it. I didn't even know what I could and couldn't endure but one thing was for sure, if I remained like this, I'd have nobody but myself to blame. I realized my eyes were closed, that's why the world seemed dark and gloomy.Not that they weren't anyway. Steeling myself for the big task ahead, I inhaled and exhaled before taking the next huge step of faith.The moment my eyes flicked open, I concluded that was the worse decision I'd ever taken. Bright light bulbs glared at me, their light sponsoring the pain in my head. I shut my eyes as fast as I closed them, turning to my side and letting out a string of curses flow freely from my mouth. The ache in my head had tripled now, from a small throb to a f
