EPISODE HUNDRED AND EIGHTTHEME: He isn’t wrong BETA JULIUS HOMEHazel watched as Lorelei moved around the room, trying to arrange everything she could lay her hands on and tears flowed heavily as she kept moving around. Her heart went out to her daughter, as much she would love to tell her to go with Jaylen, Lorelei was right about not leaving the Fortress. There was no way she would be able to stand the attention everyone would direct at her. It might sound harsh, but Lorelei was too attached to the Fortress to leave."Is there something we are suppose to do?" Julius asked behind her.His head was still spinning from the whole drama at the pack house. Things was going really out of hand and it seemed uncontrollable. No matter how much he tries to get a grasp of it, it still ends in everything tumbling right back."She would be fine. It might take a long while though. You should excuse us honey." Hazel responded."Sure." Julius sounded reluctant to leave.Hazel waited for Lo
EPISODE HUNDRED AND NINETHEME: Parenting MOON STONE FORTRESSMeagan stared blankly into space as she sat at the edge of the bed without moving. Gabriella exchanged a pitiful stare with Mrs Swift. The both of them stared at Meagan with a worried look etched on their faces. Meagan has been quiet since she returned from Jaylen’s makeshift room and watched him leave.Gabriella heaved sorrowfully, truly she had envisioned something going wrong. However, she seem to have predicted just a bit of the trouble they would be in. Losing her son and having her grandson swear to never return home is the most heart wrenching situation she had ever been in. But she could stand the pain compared to that of Meagan.The Moon Goddess wasn't so sympathetic towards Meagan. It was almost like she was paying for a sin she had committed in the past."Say something Meagan, please." Mrs Swift cajoled. Her heart went out to her daughter, wishing she could take in Meagan’s pain."Meagan, you know we a
EPISODE HUNDRED AND TENTHEME: It hurts so much CHICAGO: JAYLEN’S APARTMENTJaylen had stayed quiet all through the flight. When his uncles and aunts had bid him goodbye, his mind was too preoccupied to pay them attention. But he felt grateful that they didn't decide to probe him.Entering his penthouse, he dumped his bag on the floor and flopped himself into the beanbag next to the couch. He tried to hold back the tears but they flowed regardless. Every spiteful word that was said to him came rushing through his thoughts and it only made him yell out loudly.All his life he had tried to avoid being the black sheep or being the cause of any form of trouble. But no matter how much he tried, everyone of them always had one thing or the other to say just to make him feel guilty.Lorelei’s refusal had been the most hurtful of it all. He had expected her to understand where he was coming from and why his thoughts felt jumbled at the point. But it was obvious he was on his own and he n
EPISODE HUNDRED AND ELEVENTHEME: Where is home? MOON STONE FORTRESS TWO WEEKS LATERJayden stared out the window with his back turned at the office door and he was lost deep in thoughts. It had been two weeks since Jaylen practically tossed the Alpha position at him. He was still livid at how it appeared like he was begging for the position. Things hadn't been the same anymore at the pack house cause he feels disrespected by the pack members and coupled with the fact that some had indulged in a protest for him to step down.It has been just two weeks since he assumed the Alpha position and it has been from one trouble to the other. Whispers and rumors have been flying around that the Moon Goddess was venting out her anger for Jayden's disobedience at not letting his brother be the Alpha.Jayden wakes up everyday with anger floating through him. A week after the whole saga, he had gotten himself crazily drunk and had forged ahead into the woods running wild. He was
EPISODE HUNDRED AND TWELVETHEME: His cunning ways MOON STONE FORTRESSA few numbers of harmless birds perch down to eat the dry pieces of bread spread out all because of them. Lorelei rigidly stared out into space and she sighed at every passing second. She felt extremely lonely. It has been exactly two weeks since Jaylen had left the Moon Stone Fortress without any word from him.She wanted to believe he wouldn't leave her without talking to her for so long but to her disappointment, she had heard nothing about him. Things weren't the same anymore. Their once lively, friendly and happy clique of friends was becoming strained with herself and Claire not in the best of mood. It has been tough to cope with it all.Claire and Ron had become quite close. Claire had been able to get a hang of the state her family was in all because of him. She wished Jaylen would pop out all of a sudden to tell her it was all a prank. Even Lorelei misses him so much and all that she could think of
EPISODE HUNDRED AND THIRTEENTHEME: Adriel STARBUCKS COFFEE SHOP, CHICAGO.Turning the coffee pack around, Jaylen looked like nothing around him interests him. For weeks, he has been trying to live his life the way he used to before his trip to the Fortress but it wasn't working. Half of his day was always filled with the thoughts of his home and Lorelei.Rosalyn and her sweet self have tried all she can to ensure his day goes on without a glitch. Jaylen ending up in Starbucks for a coffee was an idea of hers and what she was trying to achieve with it surpasses him.Jaylen’s thoughts wandered as his lips touched the cup lid. There was a need for him to leave the past behind and then forge ahead with his life. His grandmother Gabriella has been trying to reach him but he had an idea of what she might intend to discuss with him and had decided to not pick her calls. Knowing how much he falls under her soothing words, Jaylen refused to be cajoled back into returning to Moon S
EPISODE HUNDRED AND FOURTEENTHEME: The best things for Jaylen MOON STONE FORTRESSGabriella kept the phone back in her pocket. The old lady looked haggard as she stared at Meagan’s lone figure on the bed with a detached Jayden by the door way. Claire laid next to her mother with a sad expression on her face. Gabriella hated how gloomy everyone appeared.Gabriel was surprised Jayden had answered to her call the moment he received it. Meagan had been distant in both body and soul for the past two weeks and she hasn't been eating and sleeping well. It was no surprise she was found looking lifeless on the bathroom floor.A maid had found her and called out to the Theta at the infirmary. Hazel had arrived in no time to check on her. Meagan was diagnosed to be dehydrated and needed as much water as she could get to keep her healthy."I am worried about her." Hazel muttered next to Gabriella with her eyes glued to Meagan."Me too Hazel. If she keeps going at this rate, I don't know w
EPISODE HUNDRED AND FIFTEENTHEME: His Nemesis MOON STONE GROUP, CHICAGO.Jaylen’s wolf whimpered as he watched the whole place burn into ashes and his fur filled with blood that obviously came from different bodies. Some wolves made their way towards him looking vicious but just when he attempted to stand up and make an attack, right in front of him Lorelei and his mother both in human form had their head ripped off with their blood spluttering on him. Jayden braced himself up slowly and he howled loudly as he ran towards their lifeless bodies. But the more he ran the farther they were from him."Lorelei!" Jaylen yelled out from his sleep, panting really hard as sweat trailed his forehead and palms. He searched around viciously, trying to decipher his environ. He let out a sign of relief when he realized he was seated in a relaxing chair in the office."Fuck! It's a dream!" He spat.Jaylen sat up, feeling a bit hazy as he tried to steady himself. He closed his eyes tightly to
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
