Alpha Morax: Your Eyes Like The Finest Gold Chapter Fifty-Seven: Victorious Return
Coming home should have been rewarding, welcoming even. But as I stood there, why did I feel like I was lost in the background? I watched as the celebrations took place, as the villagers gathered around in rowdy crowds of excitement at our victory and safe return. Alpha Morax held up the relic for all of them to see. Food and drink were given among the masses, laughter filling the air. Wood that was being used to rebuild cottages from the fire had been repurposed as dance floors, and I had never seen the Aconite Clan so lively. So why, even though I was a key part of our almost unblemished victory, was I standing off to the side? While they all celebrated… her. I watched as Angelica took the center of the field, surrounded by people who were shocked and delighted to see she was still alive and well. Her hair was laced with flowers and threaded like silken rope throughout her strands. While I couldn’t fault them for being happy, what stung the most was that Morax was standing tall
Alpha Morax: Your Eyes Like The Finest Gold Chapter Fifty-Eight: New Friends & Betrayal
I wasn't sure if Morax had told anyone, or if Miqella was just some sort of undercover genius, but as my eyes locked with his, I was stunned. Morax only seemed to treat me like his mate when he wanted to, the elephant in the room almost completely ignored unless he was too close. I noticed it was in those times that he slipped up, and I couldn’t help but feel like he didn’t want the bond at all.Did Miqella know that too?"...Yeah, I am."I saw the way his eyes dropped down to my exposed shoulder, the work of my slipover shoulder cardigan. I knew what he was looking for.Quickly, I averted my gaze. I felt self-conscious under Miqella’s watchful stare, ashamed. "But he hasn't claimed me yet. I don't know if he even wants to." I admitted after a moment, surprised by how easily my worries fled from my mouth in the catty boy's presence.His long black hair tumbled to the side when he cocked his head. “Is he not what you expected?”What I expected? How could I answer that? On one hand, I t

I reached out to touch her, but Miqella’s hand held mine. He was seizing it in mid-air as my watery gaze landed on his somber face. My limbs were heavy and rigid like a statue, my digits locked inside his palm.“You can’t touch her, you’ll contaminate the evidence.” He said the words heavily, and they sat in my mind, drenching it with sorrow. She wasn’t a person anymore. She was just evidence. The leftovers of someone’s crime.Though, I knew who did it. My mind just didn’t want to believe it. I wanted to jump to improbable scenarios of someone coming through the window and hurting her, to somehow explain Brandon’s absence. But my nose didn’t lie.Even if my thoughts did.“I’m sorry,” I whispered, my hand shaking when Miqella’s cold touch released my palm. It fell limp to my side.“I…should have believed you and Morax, I… trusted him, I never thought…” My thoughts were getting hard to communicate. Everything was racing a mile a minute. My regrets, my frustrations, and everything from t
Alpha Morax: Your Eyes Like The Finest Gold Chapter Sixty: Heat
"So, what did you want with me?" I asked, letting the power flow into my hands again. He seemed surprised to see me wielding it so confidently, but I wasn't fazed at the apparent wonder on his visage. I didn't know what his game was. Or what he was thinking. But as Morax and I stood on one side of the field across from each other, circling, anger pricked at my stomach. Timmy was gone already, by the behest of the Alpha to go grab some food for the picnic. And Miqella had also vanished at the Alpha's orders. It was just the two of us, alone. But unlike before, it didn't bring me much happiness. There was no mistaking the animalistic pull I still felt towards him, but by this point, it was just a hindrance. Sure, Alpha Morax was powerful, beautiful, and charming--but he was also clearly emotionally incompetent. Frankly, I wasn't sure if my feelings for him were real or a side effect of the bond anymore. "I told you, today you're training with me." He replied, short and to the p
Alpha Morax: Your Eyes Like The Finest Gold Chapter Sixty-One: In the Moment
In... Heat? The almost feverish outbreak on my skin at his touch told me that he was correct, but it didn't make my nerves die down any. In fact, I felt trapped. Staring into the eyes of a man who, quite bluntly, terrified me. Despite us being mates, I had no idea where I stood with him. I had expected he had come here to finally reject me, but here he was... on top of me, looking at me like I was his prey. The pack bond wanted me to yield under his stare, pushing me to submit. But I fought it, flushing red to the tips of my ears as I bucked my hips up. "I..." I stammered, praying like hell that no one showed up in the woods right now.His face loomed even closer, and for the first time, I didn't know what to do. I could see the physical length of his lashes from how close he was, could see the amber swirling inside his pupils to blossom into the brilliant iris of his eyes. Without thinking, my hands went to his shoulders. But instead of pushing him away as I intended, my body had
Alpha Morax: Your Eyes Like The Finest Gold Chapter Sixty-Two: My Mate
Morax Pov. When I had asked the small pup Timmy Haynes to head towards Robin for me, this hadn't been the outcome I had anticipated. Her petite body trembling under mine. Her body sucking me into the brink. Even though I just had her, I wanted more. Seeing her sprawled out, panting my name, it wasn't a memory I'd forget anytime soon. But as I stared at her, watching her slowly fall off her high, a fit of cold anger still chilled my chest. It was like a cold winter day, once you sought warmth, it was natural that the cold outside only felt more bitter. That was how Robin was, a bundle of heat who suddenly left you cold again. Time and time again, she was close enough for me to touch, but she always fled after. She did it, repeatedly. Whenever I got too close, she lurched away. When I carried her home from battle, she ran from like the devil was at her heels. And during the party... all she had done was keep her distance, sprinting away before I even had a chance to ask her to dan
Alpha Morax: Your Eyes Like The Finest Gold Chapter Sixty-Three: Calm Before The Storm
"There ya are! What took you guys' a so longs?" Timmy was sitting down, cross-legged, looking up at Morax and me like we were the most prominent villains in his story. The accusation in his big brown eyes made me feel about two feet tall. It didn't help that I already felt like a moron for sleeping with Morax. Timmy's eyes seemed to rest on the curled ends of my hair, which were still damp from the river. I carefully kept my gaze straight ahead. I could feel Morax looking at me, leaving it up to me to answer. "Well?" He pressed, looking annoyed. Carefully, I sat down on the blanket. The soft fabric was comfortable, clinging to my jeans. It was hard to keep my face expressionless though when I realized I was sore. With a hint of embarrassment, I coughed sheepishly into my hand. "Sorry. I had to get cleaned up, training was harder than expected." I explained, as smoothly as I could. Feeling the smallest bit annoyed when I heard the Alpha snort under his breath like a child. At lea
Alpha Morax: Your Eyes Like The Finest Gold Chapter Sixty-Four: To Lead
'Robin!' 'Robin!' 'I'm... here!' There was static in my head. Weird propelling visions shot past my eyelids in rapid succession. I felt like I was sinking as if my legs had turned into quicksand. I could see a woman standing at an altar, she looked eerily similar to me. Across from her was a man who resembled my father. But when I opened my eyes, the weird visions were gone. I could only stare, out of breath, at the crowd before me. "Are you alright?" Morax whispered and I paused. After a moment I gave a slight, minuscule nod. Everyone was staring at me. Some were in shock and wonder—others in anger or jealousy. But most of the gawking, to my utmost surprise, was in respect. It was my first time standing tall in front of the pack, and I felt nervous as I stood shoulder to shoulder with Morax. I took a small step forward at the gentle nudge of his palm on the small of my back, looking out at the crowd. Immediately I was pleased to recognize Mrs. Pearl, she was smiling up at
