Alpha Morax: Your Eyes Like The Finest Gold Chapter Forty-One: Suspicion
It was so still in the hallway, I couldn't help but wonder where all the nurses were. Stark white painted the walls, the building a different material than the rest. It was made of some stone and plaster mix, and as I stared out at the room at the end of the hall, I shuddered. It was suffocating in here, surrounded by all the white. But I pressed on, the sound of my boots loud as they hit the floor. I didn't see anyone except an older omega who had given me directions. If he was in such a critical condition, shouldn't some nurses be nearby? Before I knew it, I had arrived at the door. I was still sweaty from morning training, I was also flushed from my heated discussion with Elijah about the events that happened while he was locked away. I took a second to make myself look more presentable. Then, with a deep breath, I knocked twice. I tried to quell my nerves. It was weird seeing him after my odd dream of him and Alpha Morax. I had a dream they were fighting, and I had been

I think what made it worse... was that I knew he wasn't wrong. No matter how much I denied it, the social structure of a Beta had been tested. It was one of the sure bets of loyalty I had always believed in. A Beta stood by his Alpha, it was an ingrained fact, a truth as simple as mates. Betrayal was something no one thought of.Especially not when you were raised as a beta's daughter, one of the more privileged in the pack. But with the act of my father, how could I confidently say no other Beta would turn their back on their pack? In the end, our wolves' nature was strong. But we were part human too. We were Individual people who lived in families of likewise supernatural creatures. Humans didn't believe we existed, we stayed in the forest among our own. I think sometimes, those truths were forgotten. And as I turned to look at the window Miqella was staring at with such fierce hatred in his eyes, I was surprised to feel my chest tighten. I wasn't sure if I felt upset because of

"Your aim isn't steady. If you're going to shoot, then shoot to kill." Miqella lectured. We were both in the middle of the forest, and it was strange looking out at another pack that was blissfully unaware of our existence. Everything looked peaceful enough, but we smelt the residue of gunpowder in their barrels, along with the soldiers who carried swords and spears. Alpha Morax had briefed us, or I'm assuming me, on his ongoing feud with the Alpha of the Clearwater pack. Right now, tensions were running high. And we were only going to make them worse. Provisions were running slim, a harsh consequence of Morax's bad position in the council's favor. And so, we were sent to 'fix it'. It brought the looming truth of death much closer to home. "I'll focus more next time." I amended. Spotting the sack of flour I had narrowly missed sitting innocently above a guard. I was lucky he was fast asleep, or else my misguided arrow would have ended very badly. "Hmph." That was all he said. B

"My powers? Are you asking me to shift? How will that help me if I'm stuck in my human form for any reason?" I didn't dare move from his hold, my breathing shallow as I pushed back the odd feelings his scent gave me. His hands were warm on my hips, and the sensation sent twisted nerves up into my gut. The way he was whispering in my ear wasn't helping. "You know that isn't what I meant." "Then, what are you talking about?" I asked innocently, playing dumb.I knew he was bringing up what he mentioned so long ago, and I had been hoping it had been a fluke. It was a stupid hope though, I knew Morax well enough by now. He didn't say things without meaning and barely spoke without a double entendre in his words. While Miqella was snarky, he was blunt. The Alpha always spoke like he had two more things to say, but only felt bothered to say what he wanted at the time. Alpha Morax's fingers finally slipped off my waist, and I peeked back at him. He was charming as he stood there, a half

Do you know those moments in life, where you question everything about yourself? Your choices, your actions, if you were the villain or the hero? Right now, I was having one of those moments. As blood caked the earth, I had no idea where I stood. Just that I kept firing, my aim staying true as it fletched right into an enemy soldier's left eye. I grimaced as he stopped mid-shift, falling to the earth as my arrow pushed further into his skull from the impact. "Nice shot, Robin!" Another of the human-formed warriors praised, his spear finding a different one. But as I looked out at the carnage, claws of grief gripped my heart. It held fast when I turned away, forcing myself to focus on the enemy. In the center of the pack we just stole from, the wolves were clashing. Our best shifters were entangled in a dance with theirs. Blood and snarls ripped through the battlefield. And as any werewolves who hadn't shifted emerged, I was ordered to pick them off. I was providing support for

If this will trigger you, feel free to skip to the end of the chapter. ----------------- End Note. "Hey, Robin? Where are you?" I flinched when my ears picked up the faint sound of Elijah looking for me. But I only stilled when the large man's palm covered my mouth. His large palms came up to eclipse my nose too. His eyes bored into mine. "Be quiet, if he comes this way, I'll kill him." He wasn't smiling anymore. "Signal him away. Try anything funny and I won't just kill you." There was something sadistic about him, and I felt uncomfortable to feel his body press against mine. I didn't want to know what that meant at all. Keeping my composure, I stared back at him. Elijah was strong. So strong. But the man in front of me knew where he was, while my brother would be walking in blind. And if he took a blind shot, Elijah wouldn't even have a chance to try and fight. He'd be

The strange woman looked at me, the sound of the footsteps thundering over the wooded landscape. Any minute now, Elijah would burst through the trees. "Meet me here, tomorrow at dawn. Don't be late." She said. Her voice was like a strum on a stringed instrument. Then I had to swallow down my surprised gasp as she disappeared in thin air, just like how Miqella could. All that was left as her proof of existence was the cherry blossoms that fluttered to the ground where she once stood. A fae fairy, or was she a witch? I didn't know, but I was still sitting there. Staring numbly at the darkness that greeted me now. It was like everything came rushing back once she disappeared. I turned to gaze at the pile of ash. No sooner than I could blink, Elijah burst through the trees. I was surprised to see at least ten soldiers behind him, all holding weapons. Elijah was sweating, his eyes wild when they fell on me. "What in the... Robin?! What happened?!" He was in front of me in sec

What in the world was she talking about? I stepped back even further, subconsciously cupping the shell of my ear. I had no clue what she had even looked at, but I felt vulnerable all of a sudden. The Mark of Sina was something only told about as an old folktale. Some believed it had been real, but most regarded it as a children's story. I was one of the latter. The old tale described the mark of Sina as the ultimate cast of favor, it claimed those who had it could even summon the goddess back to earth. Of course, no one believed that part. It was too much power to wield in a world where Alphas reigned. If anything could threaten the Alpha's place in the pack, it was eliminated. So many of the stories about the marked emphiased even the "chosen" ones knew their place in the world. I used to always roll my eyes at it. But to hear it said outside of a storybook was jarring. Especially from a daughter of the sun. It felt like she was seeing something I wasn't, but that could be my bia

The tension in the clearing broke, and suddenly laughter seemed to rejoin the pack. It was odd, how easily Elijah drained the tense atmosphere, his bumbling even making the rouges slacken in their intensity. I noticed the fiery girl from before look at him, rolling her eyes before she smirked. After that, everything seemed to go off without a hitch. We gave them their housing, went over the rules, even though some were moved to separate settlements it ended as a standard procedure. It was like our village hadn't been torched, like packs weren't dying to protect the relics. For a moment, it felt...normal. Like my life had always been here. But I knew the minute the four of us were alone, that peace would shatter. If not by whatever they had to tell me, but by what I had to say. I watched impatiently as the crowd slowly dispersed, that weird fog churning in my chest again. It felt like a vice. Something I couldn't shake. What was it?Anxiety? Pain? Something else entirely…?"...Hm.
Alpha Morax: Your Eyes Like The Finest Gold Chapter Eighty: Stagnant Water
“I gotcha now, Missy Robin!” Laughter played in the air around me, and I was stunned as my world came back into focus. A fog retreating when a scamper of footsteps broke through. “…What?” I gasped. The kick came for my mid-section and I barely managed to step out of the way in time. I was watching as Timmy charged at me with all his tiny might. I saw a flurry of red locks and a triumphant grin before I shot out my hand to catch his ankle. So frail in my hands, he was like a baby jumping on its momma. Full of effort with no dexterity. “Hey, what’a gives! I had you!” Timmy’s grin fell into a pout, and I shrugged. “No, you thought you had me.” My leg swept out to kick his out from under him and the boy fell with an overzealous oof. He lay on the ground, groaning about my ‘cheap’ tricks. He was defeated for the umpteenth time. “This…a’, isn’t fair!” He was huffing and puffing when I leaned down to pat his head. Honestly, at this point, I wasn’t even trying. My mind was scattered,

Elijah Pov. “You mind tellin’ me what the hell is going on now?” Malika shot me a look from the other side of her father’s shoulders, but honestly, I was as freakin’ clueless as she was. I gave her a half-assed shrug, looking back at Morax. The dude was stopped dead in the center of the alley looking like someone slapped his mother. I could feel his aura spilling out, and it brought back memories of pain pretty damn quickly. I think it was safe to assume whoever he ran into wasn’t a buddy of ours. “I’m not sure, but stay here. I’ll get a closer look.” I promised, gently handing her father over to her the rest of the way. She heaved slightly under his weight, but once she was settled she gave me the go-ahead. I could see from where I was that there were people on the other side of the alley. There was a red-headed chick I’d never seen before and my comrades. But that wasn’t what had Morax’s attention. So I stepped closer, sniffing the air. I paused right when the city lights hit th
Alpha Morax: Your Eyes Like The Finest Gold Chapter Seventy-Eight: Ties Made & Broken
Morax Pov. ‘Stay true to your position and stay out of sight. I’m on my way. Be safe.’ I sent out the signal, running as fast as my body would let me. Red fur blazed the trail ahead of me, blood matting both our coats while our paws thudded over the ground. The air was thick with tension tonight, a sense of gravity that tugged at our limbs while we broke the shackles. Just three more. It was so close I could taste it. ‘Are you sure we should be throwing another assault after our last two…? Can we really keep going for so long without rest?’ Green eyes pierced the darkness, and I followed Escha sharply around a corner. ‘Elijah knows where the Copse Alpha is, and as for Zander…well, it appears we don’t have to do anything at all.’ ‘How is that poss—ah…wait, Miqella?’ She said his name with understanding. ‘If anyone can deliver, it’s him.’ I echoed back, and I knew she wouldn’t respond. It went without saying that I trusted him never to fail; he was as stubborn as he was loyal. L
Alpha Morax: Your Eyes Like The Finest Gold Chapter Seventy-Seven: Behind Closed Doors
Elijah Pov. No matter how long we waited, he didn’t budge. Seconds turned to minutes while I scrambled to figure out what I was supposed to do. Normal people would just open the door, right? But I wasn’t supposed to be here. Shit, shit, shit…! "Malika!" My father's voice boomed from the other side, and this time we both flinched. I could hear how hard his knuckles rapped against the shabby wood and I was consciously aware it could fall off any second. Horror images about how it had simply teetered off earlier flashed in my mind every time his hand touched the door. The mental image sucked, freezing my limbs in place. I tore my gaze from the window to Malika's face. Somehow her shocked expression annoyed me. "I thought this place was a secret," I accused, whispering as low as possible. Not being able to mind link with her sucked right now, but I could only hope he didn't hear me. He was still knocking away though, insistent. "I didn't tell him where I lived," She mouthed, her

Elijah Pov. “Here, we can talk more in private.” The door creaked open, damn near falling off its hinges despite the gentle push Zuri gave. "This is your, um, house?" I questioned at length, staring at the rundown building. It looked out of place in a city alive with technology. Tall buildings could be seen right outside of the alley, but here we were in front of a dingy, unlit shack. A part of me didn't want to ask about it, but when the wood teetered like a frail old man just from being touched, yeah, I had some concerns. I didn't want to offend her but I also didn't really want to die either. Zuri looked back at me over her shoulder scowling, “I said we were going to my place, didn’t I?” Her tone was laid back and drawled, but her eyes were like pin needles and fire. They told me to go kick rocks. I laughed, putting my hands up in surrender. “You did, but I just didn’t expect it to look like this…” I admitted slowly and her gaze only grew harsher. “You ca

Elijah Pov."So, are the rumors true or not?" Zuri's voice settled in the air, collecting dust on the table while I tried to find my voice. I didn't wanna admit it, but when Miqella exchanged a look with me, I knew this shit was real. Everything this stranger was saying about Robin, all the messed up "deals" laid out by my sperm donor, the horror of it all, was all true. She caught us up on all the daily chatter, even explaining who or what exactly my sister was. According to the rumors swept up by my father, he claimed Robin was the offspring of the previous Goddess Harbinger. That part I knew was true, but he claimed that for some reason, her blood was special...unlike mine.Was it because I was a guy? I had no clue.But. he swore up and down, she was a partial reincarnation of the moon Goddess. The rumors spread like wildfire in the city, everyone talking about her mark. Because of it, he was growing a hell of a following. I guess, not many people would turn down the opp

My knees hit the dirt. My hands lay bare against the soil.Still, I'm unable to move as the blazing glory I had just witnessed vanished into the undisturbed blades of grass. There were no more screams, no more gut-wrenching sounds of blistering flesh. Just cicadas and a thundering pulse in my chest, pushing at the bounds of my mind. I was scared to move despite knowing exactly where I was.The smell in the air was undoubtedly the Aconite Pack territory. I was back.All the air seized from my lungs. My fingers trembled as I clutched at the grass, trying to catch my breath. The harbinger mark was still searing into my flesh. It felt like a hot brand of iron tearing through my skin, but it was nothing compared to the ache in my chest. I was back. But my mom. . . I caught Mrs. Pearl's scent on the wind, along with Angelica's. But I didn't budge an inch, not even when I heard someone kneel beside me.I felt frozen. Like my leg had snapped right along with hers, even though it was

"Are you ready to see this? I can only conjure it once for you, if you back out, there's no going back." Angelica's warning rattled in my ears, and I swallowed back my trepidation. Everything I was sacrificing, lying for, and hiding from built up to this moment. I stared at the milky white palms of Angelica's hands, enraptured in the strange pink energy that seemed to pool straight up into the air from her pores. If I wanted out, this would be my only chance. I knew that. But as I stared at the gravity-defying magic, I couldn't look away. "I'm ready," I affirmed. There was no way I could walk away, not now. I needed to know about my mother, what Elijah never told me--what my father had been hiding. I had never questioned, never even wavered in his teachings. So I knew I could never be my own person until I knew the truth. These were my goals. My aspirations. Not Elijah's, not Morax's. I needed this. "Then, let's explore the past. Shall we?" Her hands lifted, and before I knew
