Resisting The Alpha King 96
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
Resisting The Alpha King 97
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
Resisting The Alpha King 99
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?
Resisting The Alpha King 100
I was confused as to what to do next. Oliver's smile was unnerving to say the least and I felt like walking out the door, bolting down the stairs and not coming back at all. But that wasn't part of the options now. I was here and there was no going back. Slowly putting one foot in front of the other I made my way into the room. It was eerily quiet, each step seemed to make the room tremble. Either I was overly anxious and hallucinating or Oliver's sick gaze was making me lose my balance. I sat at the far edge of the bed, a fair distance from the ailing king. He chuckled, obviously satisfied at my irritation."Now." He clasped his hands together like some medieval spooky storyteller. "Let's get to it, shall we?""Oliver!" I perked up at the sound of my name. I already knew where the voice came from, so determining my next step wasn't such a hassle. I had to be on my feet before he got here. " Where are you, you stupid brat!?""I'm in here father." I'd barely croaked out before the door
Resisting The Alpha King 101
NOAH'S POV I could still see the shock clearly etched on Bailey's face after I'd told her I was aware father was alive. She laid on the soft mattress, unmoving, probably checking if she'd heard correctly, or the bang she'd encountered had caused damage to her hearing and ability to understand properly. But she wasn't mad, she was perfectly sane and had beardwhat I'd said without me mincing words."What did you say?" Her voice was low, really low, like if she increased the tune of her voice something horrible would happen. I said nothing, only threw her my signature poker look. She asked again ." Noah, what did you say?""You heard me." I repeated." I know the former king is still alive." Silence. Silence was all I got for the next couple of minutes. Time seemed to stand still and for a little while, the only thing I could hear was the rhythm of my heartbeat thumping against my chest. Only, I wasn't sure if it was mine or I could hear Bailey's from where I was. "Bailey?" I cal
Resisting The Alpha King 102
Groggily, I opened my eyes. I had no idea for how long I was passed out for, but telling from the lines that had magically appeared on my arms and the dull ache in my head, I was sure it was a lot. My forehead was lines with sweat, the sticky liquid dripping down my face. I hissed loudly, as I felt uncomfortable in almost every area I could think of. My clothes were sticking to my body and it made breathing really hard. My eyes roamed around the room frantically searching for something. My anger only intensified when I saw the time, it was eleven forty five pm, so why the hell was the weather so hot? A string of curses left my lips as I swung my legs over the bed and pushed them into the fluffy slippers that had been laid out for me. I didn't remember them being there before falling asleep but I would worry about that later. I padded to the window and pushed open the windows, anticipating a huge gust of fresh air, but it never came. For minutes, I stood there, waiting and waiting for
Resisting The Alpha King 103
NOAH'S POV I watched as gentle shivers raked her body, from her shoulders down to her back which a good amount was on full display for me. I had just helped her undo her buttons after all."I'll get that." I'd murmured before undoing her buttons. Surprisingly she stood still, letting me work. Before I'd approached her my first thought was how she was going to react. I'd already placed my bet on the fact that she would probably stab me in the eye with one of the tiny scissors on her vanity. or maybe she would slam my head Into the mirror and I would bleed to death. Trust me when I said I was hallucinating or making excessive imaginations. I knew exactly what Bailey Gayle could do, and she would do all I'd just mentioned to me in just a blink of an eye and without thinking about it or feeling guilty. After the button scenario, I was completely lost. Ok, maybe I'd fantasized about her body once or twice in a while, but that wasn't me. It was my wolf. He was obviously missing her wolf
