EPISODE THREE
THEME: The Big Alpha
MOON STONE FORTRESS
Sebastian stomped his way into the pack house, hell bent on bending Jayden's neck as soon as he sights him. Sometimes, he wished so bad to not have anything doing with Jayden. But being the future Beta he is obligated to stay true to the next in line to become the alpha.
They grew up together and has been friends all their lives. Truly Sebastian loves Jayden and he would take everything but not a disrespect towards his sister. It is not a new thing for Jayden to trample upon anyone the way he wanted but he needs to know his boundaries. Sebastian huffed almost knocking the door to Jayden's room down when one of the pack house maids rushed towards him.
“Good day sir Sebastian, he is in the study." She informed him before continuing her journey.
It pissed Sebastian off that his anger was dissipating and on getting to the door he didn't bother to knock.
Jayden had a boyish grin on his face as his legs rested on the table and with his eyes watching his friend in amusement. If anything, he knew his friend Sebastian, Lorelei's brother would come to find him. Knowing how bratty Lorelei could be, it wouldn't take time before she reports to her defendant. And Jayden couldn't help the snort he released. Sebastian must be daydreaming if he thinks he can actually confront him. But he didn't mind being humored.
"To what do I owe this generous visit?" Jayden asked with his voice taunting.
Sebastian shot a glare at Jayden, his thick eyebrows conforming together. A normal person would have been scared to death but nothing scares Jayden Damien.
"You have got some actual nerves Jayden! How many times do I have to warn you to back off from messing around with my sister?"
Jayden chuckled. “Oh ask your sister if she really doesn't like messing around with me." Licking his lips in emphasis, he smirked.
"I could really punch your face right now." Sebastian threatened.
Putting his legs down, he sat up. "Let's have it then, it has been long I had a fist fight. Or..." He winked. “We could do it in the woods."
Shutting his eyes tightly, Sebastian inhaled and exhaled trying to calm his nerves. "If you weren't my friend and future alpha, I would have had your head rolling on the floor right this minute. But for the sake of love—“
"Sit your fucking ass down." Jayden laughed loudly.
The banters always went back and forth between them, but they never stayed too long getting angry at each other. Sebastian watched as Jayden folded his loose hair up in a bun. Without being judgmental, Jayden obviously looked like a man slut. What proper wolf and future alpha keeps his hair long and is obsessed with it? No lies, Jayden pays more attention to his hair than he does to the pack.
Sebastian sat down but pointed a finger at him. "Don't make me ruin your pretty face Jayden." He warned.
"Don't act like you don't know how I feel towards your sister."
"She isn't interested in you."
Jayden scoffed. “No one can refuse me, not even Lorelei. Are you doubting my intention about her?"
Sebastian raised a brow. “I would trust everything you say except loving my sister. So just leave her alone."
"Not if I can help it." Jayden shrugged.
"Do not mess around with my sister." Sebastian warned again with his face looking dead serious.
Tired of going back and forth with him, Jayden laughed throwing his head back. “It is all good, I have heard you. Just do not be surprised when she eventually becomes my Luna."
Ignoring him, Sebastian looked away distracting himself with a fashion magazine cover page. Leafing through the content, his eyes caught sight of a picture that looked almost the same as Jayden but for the Kohl black hair and turquoise eyes he could tell straight up that was Jayden's twin brother, Jaylen Damien.
It was obvious Jayden hadn't seen the magazine. Everyone avoided talking about his twin brother like a plague all to not annoy Jayden. He could turn the whole building into ashes if he gets angry. Nothing gets him more reeled up than the mention of his brother.
Someone who didn't live around the pack house, that came visiting must have dropped it unintentionally. Sebastian thought.
They had all grown up together, being the Alpha and Beta’s children and both twins were always at each other's neck. But it was more of Jayden always after Jaylen's neck. Their fights got more fierce as years passed, it was becoming unbearable for not just the parents and close relatives but also the rest of the pack. Until a fateful night, Jaylen had left the pack and never returned since then.
The picture attachment had been so small, when he looked into the magazine further he could find a torn path which shows whoever dropped it knew the rules. Sebastian got tired of abiding by it, but missed tearing off the second page. He felt the urge to do the same, but at the same time he wanted to ogle it more and read the contents.
"Sebastian!" Jayden authoritative voice rumbled from where he sat with his face giving off no emotion.
Sebastian heart almost flew out of his chest, hoping fervently he hadn't been caught. "What got you so carried away?" Jayden asked as he eyed him suspiciously.
Closing up the page in one slap, Sebastian sat up. "Nothing at all, was just thinking of some other things."
Running his hand through the smoothness of his hair, Jayden rolled his eyes. "Sometimes, you act too serious for your own good. Should we go clubbing tonight?"
Sebastian stared at him blankly. "Didn't you get your guts fucked out few hours ago? You intend to run another bouts of relay?"
Jayden flexed his arms. "I am made for it."
"You be careful dear alpha to be, don't burn out please." Standing up, Sebastian folded the magazine carefully and raised it towards Jayden. "May I take this with me?"
Jayden snorted. "Do what you like. You are such a kill joy."
"I try my best." Sebastian shrugged.
And as he turned to walk out of the room, one of the helpers rushed in looking like a scared cat. She panted heavily, staring hard at Jayden. "Sir, the big alpha just collapsed." She announced.
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
