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?

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

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

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

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

"I still see no reason as to why I have to come with you." I scowled bitterly as I looked out the box sized window that had been carved out by the side of the carriage. " Couldn't you just go alone? That's what you seem to have been doing for a while now."Noah sighed again for the hundredth time on this trip. He looked genuinely tired and worried, the worry lines and eye bags he was spotting were a good proof to my claims."I promise you it's really not in my power." He started. I was sure he had used this same line in the past explanations he had given but I didn't care. I just didn't care. " If it were up to me you wouldn't even be in here.""Oh really?" I snorted, scrunching up my face in a frown. "So you're saying if it were up to you, I wouldn't be in this carriage with you, meaning you don't want me in this carriage. In fact, you don't want me accompanying you.""What exactly do you want?" It was more of a frustrated groan than anything else. I knew what he meant was far from t

I almost regretted stepping in, but I didn't the moment I caught the eyes of our very own host, Adeline. She lit up and quite beautifully too as she excused herself from the couple she was once speaking to come talk to Noah and I."You came!" She drawled cheerily as she approached us, her heels clicking loudly behind her. The huge bear hug she gave me first before even acknowledging Noah confirmed what he'd said earlier in the carriage; she specially wanted me in attendance.I hoped. "Don't you look ravishing tonight?"Honestly, I was the one to be asking her that question. I guess I hadn't gotten a good look at her the last time we met because the woman in front of me didn't look like she could go head on with Noah or any man in fact. Soft colors from her makeup palette lined her eyes, lips and cheeks. She had on her neck and ears, a matching set of diamonds that I was too scared to calculate it's worth. A gold bracelet lined her left wrist and it matched her blue sequined gown perfec

You would think I'd have gotten used to waking up like this, but I definitely hadn't. Instead, each time I woke up like this, the pain I felt was worse than the last. Why did I have to go through this? I muttered with my eyes closed shut. I knew the drill by now, and knowing the outcome made it hard for me to want to do anything else. The moment I opened my eyes, a very deep pain would follow and to be honest, I wasn't sure I'd be able to endure it."Quick, give me that." I heard someone murmur. I wasn't unconscious, even though somehow I wished I was right now. I was awake but somehow it felt like I was disconnected from my body. I wasn't, it was just my body adjusting to the fact that I'm just waking up. " Quick, before she wakes up. "That was too late now, I was already awake wether they liked it or not and their incessant whispers weren't in any way helping. Not even in the slightest."Stop." I groaned out loud. I was sure I'd been loud enough because of the silence that followed
