EPISODE EIGHTY EIGHT
THEME: His claws
MOON STONE FORTRESS
Jayden looked mad seeing Lorelei glued to Jaylen’s arms like she belonged there. He had come to find Jaylen after he had excused himself saying he would be back soon. When their uncle Benjamin had asked for Jaylen so Jayden had taken it upon himself to search for him. When he got to Jaylen’s room he wasn’t there. However, the window was opened with the lake view in sight and Jayden sighted Jaylen kissing a lady and embracing her tightly.
Smiling to himself, he had returned downstairs out of curiosity to see the face of the one that had got his brother smitten. Jayden wouldn’t have taken note of the lady since it was a bit late night and the side Jaylen stood at by the lake has no artificial illumination as it is only the moon light shining upon it.
Noticing that the couples were so engrossed with each other, Jayden thought it wise to leave them alone but he turned back when he heard a familiar voice. Jayden would know who it was even if he was deep in sleep.
“Lorelei.” He muttered in a whisper as he took steady steps towards them.
Lorelei looked scared like she had been caught instigating a murder while Jaylen stood unfazed still smiling at his brother.
“Now you know who has been making your brother so happy.” Jaylen made a joke still not reading meaning to his brother’s countenance.
“Is he the reason you have been super cold to me lately?” Jayden bellowed at Lorelei, making her scamper behind Jaylen.
Jaylen pushed Jayden back. “Chill out man, what was that for? You-”
Jayden didn’t wait for Jaylen to finish before punching him in the face and that placed him off balance. Lorelei screamed loudly before she ran off to the house to get the others.
“What the fuck?” Jaylen spat out blood as he stared at his brother in horror.
Jayden gritted his teeth as his eyes shone with anger. “I should have known there would be nothing good about your arrival here! Do you know how long I have been on to that girl?!” He threw another blow which Jaylen dodged this time around.
“Chill the fuck out Jayden. Don’t raise your hand at me!” Jaylen warned as he rubbed at his bruised mouth.
Jayden wasn’t listening, the hatred he had harbored for his brother returned with a full force. He was never going to forgive Jaylen for going at the girl he wanted so much.
“You have been here for how long? Just over a month and you have taken the most important thing in my life!” Jayden yelled.
“My girl is not a commodity for you to claim!” Jaylen barked.
“What! Your girl?” Jayden scoffed.
He didn’t wait to hear Jaylen’s response before shifting into his wolf form and attacking Jaylen and he slammed him against a tree. Jaylen groaned in pains. Seeing that Jayden was charging for him in rage, Jaylen moved swiftly away from the tree trying to gather his energy. With the look in Jayden’s eyes it was clear he wouldn’t mind breaking Jaylen into two.
Channelling his strength, Jaylen howled loudly as he shifted into his wolf. Jayden’s wolf got taken aback when he saw Jaylen’s silver fur wolf with the white patch on his head. And his huge form towered over Jayden’s wolf.
Jayden had no idea what sort of wolf it is, but he was determined to bring Jaylen to his knees. They were just about the same size just a bit different in view of strength. Jayden charged for Jaylen again. This time Jaylen was quick to sight him and with the raise of his large paw he slapped Jayden’s wolf away, knocking him against the same tree he had beat him against few minutes ago.
Lorelei was back with every soul in the pack house. They were all breathing hard and they all stared wide eyed at the sight of the two brothers fighting.
“Who is that Alpha wolf?” Delta Jeremy asked with a shocking look on his face.
Delta Julio gaped in awe too. “I have never seen Jayden shift before. He is truly the Alpha.”
“That’s Jaylen.” Sebastian responded, causing the others to gasp at the new information.
Carl looked white like he had seen a ghost. He had only been told that one of his sons was the Alpha wolf but he had never gotten to see it. Jaylen looked so beautiful, except that his wolf wasn’t exactly looking anything near beauty.
“I have never seen wolves tear at each other before? This should be fun.” Benjamin grinned. But his smile faltered out when he got a rebuking stare from his mother and sisters.
Meagan had tears in her eyes. “Please do something to stop them!” She pleaded at the Beta and Deltas.
“I am really sorry, Luna. There is nothing we can do to stop them.” Beta Julius replied.
They all watched in panic as the two brothers ripped at each other, rolling into one another on the grass. Lorelei had her eyes all out.
“So we have to watch them like this is a show?!” Meagan demanded in a raised tone.
Moving swiftly past Jaylen, Jayden slammed his whole self into Jaylen and pushed him into the lake. Everyone screamed as Jaylen got pushed into the water.
“We would need to do something before they get themselves killed.” Juno interjected.
“We would help out!” Ron and Harry offered.
Pushing past the people as they moved towards the fighting duo. They hadn’t gone too close when Jaylen leaped out of the lake jumping into the air with his claws perked out and in one swift move it tore at Jayden’s eye causing him to howl out in pain and his wolf fell to the ground. Jayden shifted back into his human form immediately.
Juno ran fast at Jayden as she let out a scream at the tear Jaylen had inflicted on Jayden’s face with his claws. Ron and Harry with the help of Jeremy and Benjamin lifted Jayden’s heavy self to the house to help treat him.
Theta Hazel ran after them to check what was wrong with him. Jaylen had shifted back into his human form and he sat with his back against the tree wrapping his hands around himself.
“Here.” Sebastian offered him a cloth to wear.
Jaylen looked up, feeling ashamed and his heart shattered as he saw the hurt on his family’s face especially his parents. Jaylen didn’t mean to attack Jayden but he was just tired of being tossed around and constantly getting beaten up by his brother. His instincts had only made him retaliate. Also so many scars Jayden had left on him the past years still haven’t healed up.
Something strange had happened in the lake and it seem unexplainable. Jaylen had never been in water in his wolf form before talk less of a pretty deep lake. But an energy had surged through him and he saw himself spiraling into the air. Jaylen spread out his hands, looking at it in a strange way. Seeing Sebastian was still waiting up for him, he put on the trouser and shirt that he had brought for him.
Lending him a hand after Jaylen got dressed Sebastian patted his back gently. “Let us go inside. You will freeze out here.”
