THE MOON GODDESS CHOICE (A CARD OF FATE) EPISODE TEN THEME: Into the future MOON STONE FORTRESS Meagan stared out the large window as she sat rigidly. Her life in the past years played out in front of her and it felt like she might lose her mind. She shuddered lightly as the cold midday breeze hit her. The weather seem to not have any intention of coming up bright for the day. It looked gloomy just like the way she felt. Carl watched his woman heave for what seem like the umpteenth time. She had been checking the screen of her phone every passing second, awaiting the call of their son. Even though not hearing from him wasn't the only thing bothering her. He had woken up to a strange, unfamiliar feeling and all his wolf asked him to do was call out to the great seer. His Luna was obviously paranoid and he himself worried about what exactly she would tell to them. Beta Julius stepped into the room, bowing his head lightly. “How are you feeling today, Alpha?" He asked, nodd
EPISODE ELEVENTHEME: A mother’s case GABRIELLA DAMIEN HOME Venting his frustration out on the treadmill, Jaylen ran hard like his life depended on it. He was perturbed as to what to do. Turn in between, calling his mother or just ignoring her for his own peace of mind.However, he wanted to hear her voice so bad. It was bad enough that they hardly speak, but having her ask for him to call her should mean something crucial that concerns him was obviously going on."Why are you overthinking this too much?" Gabriella asked behind him, as she held up a flask of water for him and a coffee on hand for herself.Handing the flask to him, Jaylen collected it with a thank you. Uncapping the cover, he gulped every of its content. He didn't realize he was that thirsty.“I am not overthinking anything.” He huffed out after easing up his breath."Why haven't you called then?" Gabriella pushed further.“Really grandma?" He queried with a raised brow."What?" She retorted."Is there somethi
EPISODE TWELVETHEME: Parents pleas GABRIELLA DAMIEN HOMEThe line rang for a while, the voice he had grown accustomed to all his life and craved to hear so badly sounded live and felt like music to his ears.‘Hey there baby.’ Meagan called out on the other line.Jaylen gulped hard not knowing what to say. ‘Hi.’ He responded feebly.‘How are you doing honey?’ She sounded weak.‘I am fine. Thanks ma'am.’‘Your grandma told me of your recent achievement. I am so proud of you baby.’Jaylen glared at this grandmother who looked away to avoid making an eye contact with him. He had placed the phone on speaker so she can hear everything being said.‘You asked me to call you mo..ma'am.’ He couldn't see himself pronouncing the mom word.There was a slight pause. Meagan had noticed his reluctance to refer to her as his mom.‘Are you still there?’ He asked.‘Oh yes, yes I am here.’‘Okay, good. What was it you wanted to talk about?’ Jaylen sounded cold and distant now.‘Your father is ill.
EPISODE THIRTEENTHEME: Who is at fault? MOON STONE FORTRESS FLASHBACK TEN YEARS AGOClaire ran past him with his favorite boots on her legs getting dragged against the grass. Jaylen yelled after her as he also laughed his head off in the process.“Claire! I am so going to tell mom about this!” He called after her.“Let me see you try." She teased, still running.Still laughing he sat down on the grass, marveling at the beauty of the garden and also his cute little sister running around. He loves Claire so much and would do anything to protect her and also make her happy. Even if he had to with using his favorite boots to run round the muddy area.Obviously tired from the marathon she set for herself, Claire sat next to her brother resting her sweaty head on his shoulder.“You are the best brother in the whole world, Jaylen." She praised.Jaylen snickered. “You only say so after getting your way with me. I really don't believe you."Claire’s li
EPISODE FOURTEENTHEME: Where is home? GABRIELLA DAMIEN HOME PRESENT DAYJaylen sniffed trying to hold back the tears threatening to fall again, he didn't want to be seen as a weakling.Jaylen really doesn’t like to remember how he had been humiliated by his own brother right in front of their parents and pack members with none of them standing up for him. The image haunts him every time.None of them knew how hard it was for him to come to terms with himself and not see himself as a no good. He felt there was something in him that makes his loved ones stay away.A year after he left home was the most traumatic times for him and to cap it all the communication was minimal. He couldn't call them and had to wait till they reached out to him. This was the reason behind him pouring all of his heart to getting good grades out of college and focusing on making his business top tier.People thought he was perfect, but deep down within him he felt battered.Moving a hand toward
THE MOON (A Card of Fate) EPISODE FIFTEEN THEME: Jayden’s thoughts MOON STONE FORTRESS Jayden rested his head on the couch looking bored as the brunette he had picked up from the club he went to the previous night sucked on him with all her strength just to hear him make a sound. She was good, but he wasn't in any mood to arouse anyone. Moreover, they had fucked all through the night. Judging by her performance, he might beckon to her again after his foul mood dissipates. Just as she tickled his dick cap with her tongue making him let out a moan from the depth of his belly. Sebastian opened the door unexpectedly. “What the hell?" He yelled out in horror, covering his eyes with his hands. Jayden let out a weak chuckle, beckoning to the girl whom he had been too preoccupied to ask for her name to leave. Feeling embarrassed, she had ran picking up her things and sprinted her way out. “For crying out loud, do you intend to make the pack house a whore house?" Sebastian whin
EPISODE SIXTEEN THEME: Main reason MOON STONE GROUP Jaylen frowned at his computer screen, his brain hardly reading meaning to whatever he was staring at. For days he had been working like a zombie and adding little to the internal meetings the company has been having. This were moments he felt thankful towards Rosalyn for always being able to read the room and knowing just about what to do. If there was a need to meet with international investors, it would have been a big mess with the way his head stayed unsettled. “Hey you." Rosalyn called out from the door as she smiled widely at him. Jaylen smiled back. Rosalyn looked really beautiful in the brown prim suit she had on and with her hair bundled up in a neat bun. Over the years they had been together, he had tried seeing her differently from who she really was to him; a business expert and trusted friend. However, he couldn't love anyone when he doesn't seem to love himself. His grandma had tried pushing so many girls
EPISODE SEVENTEENTHEME: An addition to the family MOON STONE FORTRESSThe whole family sat down watching the head of the fortress and family thinning away on the bed. Alpha Carl looked so pale and one could almost see his bones.As Theta Hazel checked for his vital, he still kept a light smile on his face. Meagan kept a steady eye on him, hoping for a miracle to happen to enable her keep her husband to herself for as long as she chose to have him. But she knew that was just a mere illusion.Taking her eyes off him for a moment she noticed Claire shedding some bits of tears while Jayden seem like he would love to be anywhere else but not where he was at the moment. Still looking around, she hoped Jaylen would pop out right in front of her. It has been over a week since she spoke to him and still hadn't heard from him. Her hope shrink as the day passes.Returning her gaze to Carl, she doubted if he would last another week or two and her heart clenched in pain at the reality. He
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
