Resisting The Alpha King 25
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

I couldn't believe it. I refused to believe it. There was no way I could believe the nonsense that had just come out from Noah's mouth."Even better." His words rang in my ear continuously and I felt my head spin.. " From tonight, I'll be moving in with you. We'll be sharing a room from now on.""You're, you're joking." I let out, even though it wasn't as strong as I'd expected. " You must be kidding.""Of course not." His grip on me slackened but I almost didn't realize it. His smile had widened but it was nowhere near friendly. His eyes raked me over and I felt his eyes on me again. If he could rip my makeshift clothes into a million shreds, he would. Just right now without a million cares in the world. But if he did that right now, it would only cause problems for us. Him, most especially. "I'm serious, my Queen."He was messing with me and the cryptic smile he wore proved it. "Why?" I croaked. I still hadn't gotten out of the shock I received and I couldn't process anything at th

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

"How dare you?" Noah's red eyes were trained on me. I didn't know which was redder, his eyes or his cheeks. And I didn't know if he was mad or it was just the hot sauce taking effect. "Bailey?""It's nice isn't it?" I wouldn't let his murderous gaze deter me. He should have seen this coming and he definitely deserved it. " It has a certain flavor, just like you said.""Bail…Bailey…" he couldn't even make a full sentence without bursting into fistfuls of cough. He wheezed, beads of sweat cascading down his face. " Holy…""Don't just stand there.." Diana looked distraught. She jumped on her feet whilst making funny gestures. I guess that was her way of panicking. " Someone get him something to drink!""Water!" Eric completed her statement. " Someone get water!""Not water you dimwit." Diana mused. " How could a grown man be so dumb. He needs milk. Too bad my magic doesn't help in the culinary arts."There was no way milk or water even could get to Noah on time. All the chefs had disappe

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

The castle was abuzz with activities, maids and guards scurrying about. From my cushioned stool in front of my vanity, I could loudly hear everyone's voices."MaryAnn!" Someone shrieked just right outside my door and my hands flew to cover my ears. Her voice was loud and so tiny it sounded like a banshee stuck in a trap or captivity. "Where are you headed?""The kitchen." Whoever MaryAnn was, replied in an equally loud voice. " We need to check on the meals for tonight."Tonight. I suppressed a groan at the mention of the word. It was tonight. What everyone in the whole kingdom had been waiting for, was tonight. I glanced back at the mirror in front of me and scrutinized myself.My blonde hair was made up in a fancy updo, with a few strands to frame my face. Makeup cakes my face, ranging from different foundations, mascaras, eyeliner and every other thing you could think of. My lips were coated in a ruby red hue and it shone against my pale skin. Diamonds stuck to my ear and my favori

NOAH The moon shone bright, casting it's warm light onto the book spread open on my desk. At the top right corner, something I scribbled, shone making it look like it was glittering. A chuckle slid past my lips, one particular memory tugging at the corner of my mind. It was also a full moon like tonight,but many years ago. "Dad. Dad. Dad." I called, trudging down the hallway. My tiny feet shuffled along the tiled ground, the cold seeping into my skin through my barefoot. Mother always warned me not to roam the halls without my shoes but I was in too much of a hurry. " Father. Father. Father." I had no idea where he was. I'd roamed around his room but he wasn't there. I checked the throne too and he wasn't in any fancy meetings this time. So he had one more place to hide. The noises from behind the door confirmed my thoughts. Mum and dad had always said the room was soundproof but the tiny whispers seeping through the cracks and holes in the door told me otherwise, the door n

NOAH The night was bright, sparkling gems twinkling right above us. The wind was cold, a slight chill creeping up my skin. The night was cold but at the same time, it wasn't. The scene in front of the palace wasn't what I was expecting. I knew the news had traveled and everyone had been anticipating it but I didn't expect the turn out to be this massive.People gathered everywhere I looked, either in clusters or were enjoying the ceremony solo. One thing was certain, they were all waiting for the ceremony to begin in earnest."Now, this is a party huh?" Ethan whistled beside me. My head whipped in his direction and I could see the shock clearly written all over his face." I think everyone Came, from far and wide too. ""We'll just have to see about that, won't we." I smirked and clapped gently. Two guards bounded up to me, their golden chest plates glistening gently in the moonlight. Prior to this event, I'd ordered them a new set of armor be made for all the guards and that the maid
