EPISODE HUNDRED AND SIXTHEME: His decision MOON STONE FORTRESSEveryone stared in disbelief, wondering what Jaylen meant by what he had said. Jaylen looked around glad that he could finally blurt out his exact intentions. His whole night had been turbulent with thoughts of him being confined to the Fortress and leaving everything he had worked for, for years behind all in a bid to become someone he never intends to.Being an Alpha was a bit too much for him and it didn't seem like anyone would accept him, despite their obvious reaction at the auditorium, the bowing of heads and hailing of the Alpha, it still didn't have him convinced."What?!” Jayden spat, after getting out of his dumfounded state."What are you saying, Jaylen?" Lorelei inquired with a confused look on her face.Turning away from his brother, Jaylen walked towards her and he grabbed her arms lightly. "Listen to me baby, we don't really need all of this.

EPISODE HUNDRED AND SEVENTHEME:The Moon Goddess choice MOON STONE FORTRESSJaylen packed his clothes into the bag blindly as the tears flowed non stop. It was his fault for listening to Rosalyn and his grandmother to come down to the Fortress. He was sure things would have been different if he had stayed back in Chicago and sent his well wishes.The moment he had stepped into the Fortress it had smelled trouble, but he was too lost in the moment that he forgot the hostile environment he was in. Having Jayden fight with him not just over Lorelei but the Alpha position, it was too overwhelming for him."Jaylen." Penelope called softly from the doorway.She stepped into the room cautiously with the rest of her siblings trailing behind her. Jaylen didn't respond and he kept ransacking the closet for whatever he might be needing. It is not like Jaylen couldn't leave them behind, but he didn't want anything of himself to be seen around and most importantly it was all to distract himse
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.

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.
