EPISODE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FIVETHEME: Jaylen’s Girl MOON STONE FORTRESSRosalyn mumbled incoherent words under her breath as she made her way back to Jaylen's room with Adriel's clanking heels putting her on the edge as it made noise behind her. Opening up the door, she had hoped fervently that the view would sink Adriel's heart. Unfortunately, Jaylen was on his feet standing by the window, while Lorelei sat on the couch."Jaylen!" Adriel screamed as she moved past Rosalyn and she ran towards Jaylen and hugged him tightly from behind.Everyone looked on in shock except Rosalyn who looked bored. Jaylen hugged Adriel back stiffly as he glanced towards Rosalyn."I don't know." Rosalyn spread out her hands in rebellion.Adriel moved a bit away from him and held his face. "What happened to you?"Jaylen turned his head away from her hands. "Just a small fall. How did you get here Adriel? Did Rosalyn give you an address?" He inquired, shooting an intentional glare at an unbother
EPISODE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SIXTHEME: Cranky Rex MOON STONE FORTRESSRex walked towards the path that led to the study where Jaylen had texted him to meet with him. He had left yesterday knowing they might try to involve him in the mess that had happened between the two brothers and he didn’t want to also settle any form of fight. But when he eventually got Jaylen’s message the next day, he didn't hesitate to respond to the call.Engrossed in the phone he was looking through, Rex unintentionally bumped into an excited Claire. She had seen him walking the hallway and decided to take advantage of his distraction to get him to notice her."Hey! I am so sorry Claire. I wasn't looking." Rex mumbled as he tried to hold her up in place.Claire batted her lashes at him. “It’s okay. Erm…so how are you?"Rex moved farther away from her a bit after getting a glimpse of what she was up to. It took him by surprise at her attempt to remain close to him."Is everything okay?" He had to as
EPISODE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SEVENTHEME: Her Addiction MOON STONE FORTRESSJuno had a weird look on her face as she entered the study. She hadn't expected the news flying around the pack house. The last time she had come around it was to spend some time with Jayden and it had been a special night with a different sort of feeling to it. Jayden had been sweet towards her and it made Juno really happy.After reporting back to the base, she had thought to check on everyone at the pack house but to her surprise, one of the maids had told her of Jaylen's return.“Juno." Jaylen said as he stood up to his feet to pull her in his embrace.Juno leaned into his touch. “Jaylen! I can't believe you are here. I almost thought you would never come back."He chuckled lightly. “Well I just thought it would be unfair to leave you all alone here. I had to come running to you." He winked.Juno slapped his chest lightly as she sniffed. "Don’t you dare pack up whenever you feel like. It really doe
EPISODE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-EIGHTTHEME: Juno’s hope MOON STONE FORTRESS"Wait up, Lorelei! Come on!" Jaylen called out to her as he rested his palms on his knees trying to hold still. They were shaking, still reeling from the aftermath of his fight with Jayden. A sharp pain shot through his knees.Lorelei stared back as she saw him bent over. She ran towards him. "Are you okay, Jaylen? What happened?" She inquired.Jaylen threw his hand to the back of his neck as he panted hard. "You could have just waited. Why were you stomping off so angrily?”Lorelei folded her arm against her chest with a deep frown on her face. "You tell me. I should have known your refusal to return or put a call through to me was because you had someone else who already shows you enough love.""Are you listening to yourself right now?” Jaylen mused as he stood upright."What do you want me to think, Jaylen? She came all the way from Chicago to find you and doesn't seem like she would leave just bec
EPISODE HUNDRED AND THIRTY NINETHEME: Blended Silver MOON STONE FORTRESSAT THE BORDERJayden turned and twisted on the bed as he tried to adjust his eyes to the room brightness and made an attempt to remember where he was. When his brain did reckon with it, he tried to sit up but his whole body ached badly at the effect. Jayden heaved a sigh as he stared out into space. The happenings of the day before came to his mind. He would never forget the embarrassment he was made to face.His brain was fogged on what to do to get back to Jaylen and get everything that belongs to him and most especially Lorelei. He was no longer interested in the Alpha post considering the fact that the Fortress members themselves don't want him there on that throne.Jayden shut his eyes tightly as he tried to clear his mind. The door clicked open and when he reopened his eyes, he saw Lisa standing by the door."Hi Jayden. How was the rest?" Lisa questioned as she walked farther into the room and s
EPISODE HUNDRED AND FORTYTHEME: The Moon Warrior MOON STONE FORTRESSAT THE BORDERJayden chewed on the walls of his mouth and uncertain why he was picking Juno’s call in the first place. He has no obligation towards her, however for no just reason at all he is answering her call which was unlikely of him or probably he needed to hear from someone very familiar.When Jayden found a secluded place he picked the call.‘Jayden!’ Juno wailed into the receiver. Her voice sounded coarse like she had been crying. ‘Where are you? How have you been? I have been trying to reach you all day and it is driving me nuts!’Jayden exhaled. ‘Easy Juno. I am fine. I am sure you must have heard what happened.’‘I just got back from the base to check on you again and I heard of Jaylen's return and the fight that ensued. How did that happen again?’‘See, I know you like Jaylen really very much but can you do me a favor and not ask me such silly question.’There was a slight pause and a sniff f
EPISODE HUNDRED AND FORTY ONETHEME: All for Jayden MOON STONE FORTRESSAT THE BORDER"What in the world were you talking about there Jayden? What quest? What attack?" Juno bombarded him with questions after he locked the door to the room.Jayden rubbed at his forehead as he stared straight into her eyes. “Juno, keep your fucking voice down and listen to me! I just saved you from being lynched there and this is all you have to say?" He grimaced."Why here of all places Jayden? These people are dangerous. They have been plotting against—“"Hold it!" Jayden bellowed at her. "I have no idea what you are talking about. Even if I do I still choose not to believe it because this same people have been my solace since none of you care about me! Now the question is why were you looking for me?"Juno looked betrayed. “Why would you keep talking to me like I don't matter Jayden? Jayden, you know how madly in love I am with you. Why would you think I wouldn't find you when you went missing?
EPISODE HUNDRED AND FORTY TWOTHEME: Caught in the act MOON STONE FORTRESSAdriel searched through the drawers in haste trying to get her hands on anything that could be valuable and something she could sell most importantly but she couldn't find anything. One way or the other she had been able to sneak herself into Jaylen's room hoping to get her hands on a gold or whatnot.Since Adriel had an altercation with him in front of his fiancée, both Jaylen and Rosalyn have been avoiding her. Seeing there was no other way out, she needed to find a way for herself. Her meagre savings had been used to buy a plane ticket to fly over to the Fortress with her big dreams in mind to extort Jaylen. But now, it was all shattered before she could even piece them together. Her life seem like it would end as a result of all the mess she was in. She might eventually consider suicide and get some rest.Adriel was so engrossed in finding something valuable that she had forgotten to lock the d
EPILOGUE THREE YEARS LATER JAYDEN DMIEN’S HOME, NEW YORK.Jayden stared at the WhatsApp media that was sent to him on his phone. They included pictures and videos of Jaylen playing around with his daughter named Ramaya. His niece is an adorable young girl that lights up every where. Most times he is forced to indulge in a video call with the family because she always cries about wanting to speak with him.It amazed him every time because he had never seen Ramaya before aside her images and videos being sent to him. Jaylen had pleaded for him to pay them a visit but Jayden had refused. However, he ensured gifts was sent every time to her. Jayden, knowing how much he was still attached to Lorelei, he didn't want to be reminded of how much of a loser he was.Jayden handling his father's chain of businesses had kept him away from suicidal thoughts. However, he was no longer feeling comfortable with the situation. Not only did the silver poisoning ruin his leg
EPISODE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FIVETHEME: Alpha De Luna MOON STONE FORTRESS ONE MONTH LATERJaylen tried to hold his knee down to stop his foot from tapping on the floor continuously. Lorelei intertwined her hand with his, mouthing words of encouragement to him. This was the second time since three months ago when he got introduced to the entire Fortress as their chosen Alpha. He was back here now to address them after finally being installed as the Moon Stone Fortress Alpha.His address speech was coming up soon and for the first time in his entire life he was really nervous, not because of the number of people in front of him but the thought of him walking in his father's shoes eventually. The past few weeks had been a rollercoaster of emotions coupled with whole family still mourning the death of Juno.Jayden eventually got discharged from the infirmary about a week ago after undergoing so much tests and infusions to keep him alive. However, he insisted on
EPISODE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FOURTHEME: Finding peace MOON STONE FORTRESSIt had been three days since the Rogues invasion and Juno’s death. When Jaylen got a call that Jayden was conscious, he had practically rushed down to the infirmary driving at a high speed. Every day since Jayden got admitted, he had been visiting his brother for long hours and sitting next to him till the Iotas comes around to tell him visiting time was up.Things were beginning to go back to normal, however everyone still had a gloomy look on their faces. It was bad enough that Jayden wasn't awake yet and they had no idea how he might react to being confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life.However, Jaylen had made up his mind to stand by his brother which ever way it is. He wasn't going to let another enmity breed. He was tired of having to fight an enemy that is not just anyone but his own brother.The moment Jaylen entered the private ward assigned to Jayden, he saw him seated up
EPISODE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THREETHEME: The rewards MOON STONE FORTRESS : AT THE BORDERJaylen's stared in shock, his breath unsteady as he watched Juno swim in the pool of her own blood. By this time, the Fortress warriors no longer wasted any time as the launched a counter attack with bullets and arrows flying through the air. Jaylen ran through the chaos to meet a lifeless Juno and unconscious Jayden.“Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!” Liam barked out orders to his men when he saw that they were being defeated by the Fortress warriors. “No—“ His voice trailed off as several bullets pierced his back, Rex had been the one who fired it.The Rogues retreated with their wounded bodies after Liam's collapsed to the ground with his body laid cold and his eyes staring out into the dark night sky."Juno! Juno! Talk to me please." Jaylen growled.Rex ran towards Jaylen, he had to be protected amidst the chaos. "Jaylen! Get up man. We have to leave here." He pulled at him.Jaylen sniffed,
EPISODE HUNDRED AND FIFTY TWOTHEME: Who betrayed who? MOON STONE FORTRESSAT THE BORDER: IN THE NIGHTLiam geared himself up, making a head signal to his men as Jayden and Juno walked in. He grinned to himself of his plans on how he intends to eliminate them. There was nothing much to do to Jayden again cause he looked really weak and might collapse if pushed for too long. The wobbling in his legs was beginning to look more obvious."Are you ready?" Liam nodded at them.Jayden thinned his lips in a painful way. "I am as long as you are. Thanks for doing this on my behalf, Liam.""Anything for a friend." Liam grinned.Juno glanced around, gulping hard as her eyes landed on Jayden who seem to be in a deep conversation with Liam. He was looking extremely weak and it bothered her. When Juno had asked if he was feeling some sort of pain, Jayden had said no, but staring at him from afar he looked really sunken.Putting her mind off him for a while, Juno thought about herself and
EPISODE HUNDRED AND FIFTY ONETHEME: Juno’s Betrayal MOON STONE FORTRESSThere was no need to call out the family because the women were already seated in the large living room to Jaylen's surprise as if they knew what has been planned. Since it is not profitable for the Rogues to attack in the early hours of the day, his intention was to see Sebastian and Rex out and have them rest till evening then find a way to gather all of them and let them know of the situation.However, the look on their faces gave them out like they knew exactly what was going on. The moment Rex stepped feet down the stairs Claire ran towards him.Jaylen threw his head back. “Oh of course." He had almost forgotten that the Intel had been gotten from his sister.The moment their eyes met she burned holes through his skin with her vicious eyes. He glared back at her. He knew she was clearly pissed at him for choosing not to believe her. He decided to take a seat and explain the situation to the expect
EPISODE HUNDRED AND FIFTYTHEME: The Ranks MOON STONE FORTRESSWhile Sebastian made calls to the people he had mention earlier. Rex tutored Jaylen on the people taking part in the order of the Fortress."How is it that I don't know anyone till now?" Jaylen questioned."You have never been actually initiated yet and the day of your unveiling didn't exactly go as planned. Your tantrums was enough to piss one off." Rex blurted as he shot him an intentional glare.Jaylen snickered at him. “You know what, forget I said anything. Give me a briefing about them before they all get here and think I have some kind of Alzheimer. I can’t even remember we were tutored on these ranks when we were little.”"If you weren't away for so long one would have thought that was the case" Rex mumbled under his breath."I can actually hear you."Rex chuckled lightly. “Now listen, the Zeta—“"Is the War General." Jaylen interrupted looking a bit offended. "I am not that dumb you know, I lived here
EPISODE HUNDRED AND FORTY NINETHEME: The map is gone! MOON STONE FORTRESSAT THE BORDERRex had his heart in his mouth when he followed Juno to the Rogues site. To cap it all, Jayden was outside waiting for her. The both of them held onto each other for a while before letting go to head inside the house.Getting down from the car, Rex activated his wolf spy mode, blending into the bushes around as he made his way towards the back of the house. Men were on patrol, and knowing how dangerous it would be if he got caught without getting the exact information he needed, he moved discreetly. He rolled among the long grasses to get to his intended destination.Rex almost crawled into the hands of two Rogues passing by but he hid himself well. He could see from the window side that had light on a group of people that included Jayden and Juno. There was no doubt Juno had given out the secret map to them. Rex looked closer, squinting his eyes through the darkness that he engulf
EPISODE HUNDRED AND FORTY EIGHTTHEME: Liam’s intention MOON STONE FORTRESSAT THE BORDERLisa burned holes to the side of her brother’s face as he sipped on the glass of vodka he had in hand. He looked really unbothered by her."It has been more than two weeks, Liam, shouldn't we stop now? He is looking pale already." She told him."Still hasn't done enough damage if I must say. That young man looks stronger than one would imagine and it must be due to the Alpha’s blood in him.” Liam replied."What exactly do you intend to gain from this?"Liam turned to face his sister sharply. “The Secret Passage Map is a way for us to get into the Fortress, having him weak and almost dying would make him useless in confronting us when the truth comes out. I don't want to underestimate his ability.""How about the girl?""You don't have to worry about that.""Are you sure about this Liam? You don't appear to have a plan.""What do you think my men and I have been working on for the past
