EPISODE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREETHEME: Jaylen’s Decision MOON STONE GROUP, CHICAGO.Jaylen sighed as he stared distractedly at the laptop in front of him. The weekend had gone in a haze as he was practically drifting in and out of consciousness. It was more surprising when he found Adriel with him instead of Rosalyn. Trying to figure out if she must have been the one to open up his door, however, Adriel had said Rosalyn let her in and she had some urgent matters to attend to and had assigned her to look after him instead.There was no need telling what Adriel was trying to do and he had no one else to blame than Rosalyn. She had been doing all she could to hook him up with anyone her hands could grab. It's not like being with Adriel is an actual bad thing, but he wanted nothing to do with putting his heart on the line.Everyday Lorelei’s scent still lingers in his nostrils and he wakes up hoping to see her face. But the hurt he feels from her refusal to come to Chicago
EPISODE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOURTHEME: The good fuck MOON STONE FORTRESS"Who the fuck is it at this time of the night?" Jayden muttered from his sleep as the knock on his door sounded persistent. He checked the bed side clock and it was just past nine. He must have slept quite early.Jayden stood up from the bed groggily and headed towards the door. When he turned the key, he was really surprised to see Juno by the door. She had been away for a while and he had almost forgotten about her.The moment Juno stepped into the room, she jumped at Jayden and wrapped her arms around his neck tightly."Jayden! I missed you so much!” Juno said in excitement as she peppered his face and neck with wet kisses.Jayden stood rigidly, almost like he wasn't the one being hoarded. Patting her back lightly, he held her by the waist and pulled her away from him."I didn't know you had return." Jayden muttered as he headed back to the bed.Juno hopped behind him as she felt really happy. This was
EPISODE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVETHEME: A week away ROSARIO HOTEL, CHICAGO.Jaylen stood by the door contemplating on the last minute if he should just return to the elevator and head back home or to his office. At the same time his legs seem to want to stay put there.All through the night, he had been having a second thought on coming to see Rex. On a hand is his ego, on the other hand is his need to do what is actually right but the thoughts of him having to face Jayden again didn't sit right with him. At the same time there was no way he would forgive himself if anything went wrong at the Fortress because of his insistence on staying back.The door burst open showing an extremely sweaty Rex with a stony look on his face. "Took you long enough." He muttered, leaving the door open and Jaylen stuck by the doorway.Jaylen eventually let himself in when he realized Rex did horribly at being a good host.

EPISODE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SEVENTHEME: The return home MOON STONE FORTRESS A WEEK LATER"It feels like my heart would burst out of their cage." Jaylen mumbled as they got off the plane.Rex snorted. “You had better hold onto it properly. There isn’t any heart surgeon around to fix you up.""You sure said that right." Rosalyn giggled as she fluttered her lashes at Rex.Jaylen watched the transaction with disgust. It was annoying enough that Rex has a rude approach to everything but having Rosalyn on that list was a no no for him."You come here." Jaylen dragged her to his side. "Haven't you been able to tell that Rex is a married man with several kids?”Rosalyn pouted as she looked confused. “He never told me that. Is this true Rex?"Rex looked hurt. “You know I would never lie to you my darling.""What the? What the hell did you just call her?" Jaylen inquired as he almost missed a foot.Rex and Rosalyn exchanged a glance before both of them bursted into a fit of
EPISODE HUNDRED AND TWENTY EIGHTTHEME: Clingy Adriel BETA JULIUS HOMEDropping down from the car, Jaylen felt nostalgic as he stared at the house. The night he had spent with Lorelei in it crossed his mind and he felt a satisfying tingle and a rapture of fear at the same time."You both should head in. I will just take this call." Rosalyn said."Ok, get back in on time. I don't want to have to find you." Jaylen joked."Ignore him, you will always be safe here. I got you." Rex winked at her.Rosalyn laughed lightly. “Off with you both already." She waved them off.Rosalyn watched both men bicker between each other as they went up the porch into the house. Rosalyn stared down at her phone screen. Her phone had been on airplane mode when they were in the air but the moment she had it back on in the car, Adriel had bombarded her phone with a whole lot of text messages, the calls weren't noticeable because Rosalyn had placed it on silence intentionally. Now, she understood what
EPISODE HUNDRED AND TWENTY NINETHEME: Apologies accepted BETA JULIUS HOMEEveryone turned around to stare at Lorelei who had an astounding look on her face as she stared hard at Jaylen. Jaylen almost choked on his spit when their eyes met as he didn't brace himself for any said reaction from sighting her.“Come on guys, I had the table set for us all." Hazel said as she broke the awkward silence.They all scampered to their feet and followed Hazel but only Jaylen and Lorelei remained glued to their spot. Jaylen pinched himself to get back to reality. He stood up and walked towards her while he held a small smile."Hi." Jaylen said as he slapped his back pocket.Lorelei felt her guts slapped out of her. It seem like the last time she had seen him had been since forever. Jaylen looked a bit rugged and more handsome and it made her breath hitch at the sight."You came back." She gulped.Jaylen heaved a sigh as he moved closer to her. "I know it's not my place to say this right
EPISODE HUNDRED AND THIRTYTHEME: Family Reunion MOON STONE FORTRESSRex had dropped off on the way to get to his own home. Rosalyn held Jaylen's hand tightly as they walked into the pack house. Everyone who bumped into them stood still before getting a hold of themselves and in a hurry they bowed to their Alpha.Rosalyn stared in amazement at how much respect was given to Jaylen. She was most mesmerized by the beauty of the pack house. It was a mixture of vintage and contemporary designs making the space a master piece.Not letting go of her hand, Jaylen made his way towards his mother's room with a hope that he wouldn't have to meet Jayden on the way. His mind was too jumbled to have to brood over what he might need to say to his brother.Jaylen knocked on his mother's door as he smiled stiffly at the guards who looked a little bit too excited to see him. Rosalyn squeezed his hands tightly, a silent assurance that she was there with him. The moment the door got opened,
