The longer I looked up at the woman’s face, the more I began to picture her in a younger state, that woman was the one person when I would lay awake in my little bed at night shaking from fear of monsters, I would cry out for. The person who would walk into my room with her smile and bundle me up tight, telling me I was safe, and I had nothing to worry about. I was now in her arms again and for that split second, I began to feel the same way I did when I was too young to understand.

“I’m here sweetheart, it’s going to be okay now.” She smiled tears forming in her eyes as she looked down at me, her hands moving some of my hair away from my eyes.

“What happened?” A voice I hadn’t heard before and didn’t recognise asked, this person held a deep voice but one I knew without looking, he had to be around his late teens.

“M-my friend and I crashed; you need to check him.” I explained before remembering Peter was still down there in the car, but as I went to sit up to show them, my moth

  • Surviving The Big Bad Alpha King   Chapter Eighty-Two: Work Her Magic

    After hearing what Markus wanted in return for the box, I was left in another crossroads, what he was asking would go against the role I was about to take but if we get this deal fully executed, this will only help their kind even more. Thankfully, it was not down to me to make this decision but Baron. Leaving Markus to speak into his walkie and let the others down in the village know what’s happening, I make my way back over to an angry looking Baron, who seemed to scan my body as though he was looking for any reasons to attack Markus. “So?” Glasses asked as I reached the border and stepped outside of it, the heavy feeling I couldn’t shake from my shoulders seemed to lift and allowed me to take a breath, while Baron placed his two fingers in the belt loops of my jeans and pulled me closer to him to smell my scent. “I managed to talk it through with M and he agrees that risking an Alpha coming to attack the village wouldn’t be in the best interests of the people. He will allow u

  • Surviving The Big Bad Alpha King   Chapter Eighty-One: Something In Return

    As soon as I spoke the name of the story Markus knew very well, I saw many emotions begin to flash through his eyes as he watched my expression, I knew he was trying to see any kind of deception in my looks, which is why I maintained eye contact. I needed him to see I was speaking the truth, even if it was beyond a lie. “The story I used to tell you when you were younger?” Markus asked looking at me with an intrigued look, where I had to nod my head happy that after all this time, he still remembered the little things. “After my entire family died and you took me in, nights were always hard but when storms hit, it was the worst. One night in particular, you came into my room, and I was in floods of tears, you sat right beside me and pulled the blankets right up and began to tell me a story to help the noises of the storm pass. You described a strong and brave princess who had to flee from her family in order to protect them, she was scared but she knew if she kept true to herself,

  • Surviving The Big Bad Alpha King   Chapter Eighty: Double Crossing Queen

    In all my years knowing Markus and allowing him to look after me, I had never once felt scared of him, even though his actions to others and the way he would speak around me should have scared me to the core. Deep down, I always knew no matter what he was going to look after me, be the protector I needed. But now as I watched him walk towards me, stood on the outside of the border in chains and individuals who he loathed more than anything on the earth and beyond, I couldn’t shake the fear. What if this goes wrong? What if he doesn’t believe me? Could I handle the one man who saved me all of those years ago switching gears and hating me? All of those questions seemed to swirl around in my head until he came to a stop right inside of the border, his eyes locking with mine as I forced tears not to prick them. “Isn’t this a surprise.” Was all he spoke his eyes locked on mine as though he was trying to read me, where I pleaded that he wouldn’t brush me off and listen. “Sorry the vis

  • Surviving The Big Bad Alpha King   Chapter Seventy-Nine: Markus

    The next morning, I woke up more determined than ever, most days since arriving here, I haven’t got any idea of what I’m doing until it’s thrown upon me, but now I knew we were entering into very dangerous territory, one I had lived most of my life, I had to get back to the way I was. Before the palace and Baron, I never let anything or anyone hold me back, I had been through some of the worst pain and circumstances imaginable back before my brain even had the chance to develop. I had to grow up fast and realise nobody had my back, even Markus and eventually, Daniel would say they’d look after me, there was always something in the back of my mind saying I still need to keep my wits about me. My father was someone I trusted more than anyone and he was taken; I needed to prepare myself in case anything like that happens again. But when it came to Baron, it was as though everything I had built up around myself came crashing down without me even noticing. When I’m around him, my entir

  • Surviving The Big Bad Alpha King   Chapter Seventy-Eight: Old Stomping Ground

    My entire body seems to go into that same panicked state as before but this time, it wasn’t my mind that was making up scenarios or forcing memories to play in my mind like an old tape recorder, but a huge black wolf towering above me. I couldn’t stifle the terrified scream that left my lips as I slid across the shiny dark flooring, my hands shaking so violently I kept stumbling and nearly falling fully to lay on the floor as my eyes refused to leave the wolf’s face whose eyes also refused to leave mine. With each centimetre of space I’d manage to create between me and the wolf, the closer his huge legs with the sharpest of claws I had ever seen seemed to draw even closer to me. The quicker my breath became the heavier the air grew, I truly felt as though I began to suffocate causing my mind to go cloudy and the room to grow darker. My elbows seemed to give way as I landed on my back feeling my eyes close, my heart pounding so fast in my chest when the bloodthirsty wolf seemed t

  • Surviving The Big Bad Alpha King   Chapter Seventy-Seven: Intent To Kill

    After some time to calm down and Baron repeating to me that I was safe, I sat on his office’s floor with my back against the wall and my legs pulled up to my chest. My head hurt from the power of those flashbacks and how fast they kept pounding my head. My hands still shook a little as my body attempted to calm down after it believed we were walking into some kind of war, and it needed to protect itself. Baron, who hadn’t left my side for a second soon walks back from his desk with a fresh glass of water in his hands, taking a seat beside me pushing my legs down so I was no longer sat in the fetal position, he hands me over the glass where I was forced to squeeze it hard so the shaking of my hands didn’t spill water over my legs. “I’ve had flashbacks like those before but never to that extent, it was as though my mind had switched to being seven years old again.” I sighed placing my head to rest on the wall behind me as Baron’s hand is placed to rest on my leg, his touches seeming
