EPISODE HUNDRED AND FOUR
THEME: Impending doom
MOON STONE FORTRESS
Jayden punched at the wall screaming loudly and more tears stick to his face as he threw himself against the wall. He still couldn’t believe what had just taken place. He felt betrayed. After all of the years he had sacrificed to be there for his family and pack as a whole but they turned against him and lied against the Moon Goddess. He thought.
The hate he had for his twin brother expanded in his chest. He hated him so much because for every time his brother had been present in his life it has always resulted in an obstacle for him.
Kneeling by his bed, Jayden yelled into the sheets with his voice muffled by it. There was no way he would forgive his parents for hiding such secret from him. He should have known better when they called for Jaylen after all of this years.
His life flashed in front of him as the humiliation he knows that he will not only face from everyone he had behaved rudely to, but the she wolves he had made a tool of pleasure for himself all in the bid of becoming the next Alpha. Jayden held onto his hair tightly, his scalp burned as the hair felt like it will tear off it.
Not only did Jaylen return to take what he feels rightfully belong to him, but he went ahead to snatch the only woman he really cares about. Thinking of Lorelei in Jaylen’s hands made him even boil harder.
In his phase of another bouts of yell, Jayden heard the door click open. He looked up from where he balled himself up and his eyes met with his mother’s eyes.
Meagan almost fell to her knees when her eyes met with Jayden’s own. It looked dead and vicious and she wondered what sort of thoughts were running through his mind. The pack meeting had ended and Jaylen’s coronation has been decided to take place the next day. To enable him adjust to the news, at the same time the pack council members do not want to waste time to avoid any sort of conflict which everyone of them suspect would ensue with time.
Meagan had been restless and felt the need to talk to him. Knowing Jayden he might not want to see her but Meagan was hell-bent on making things clear to him.
“Have you come here to spite me more?” Jayden growled baring his teeth.
A tight gasp escaped Meagan’s lips as she placed a hand on her chest with an hurtful look. “Jayden!”
Springing up from the floor, Jayden glared hard at her. “Don’t you dare use that tone on me! I should have known you fancied Jaylen than I from the very beginning. He has always been your favorite!”
“I don’t love any of you differently, you all matter to me!” Meagan responded with teary eyed.
Jayden scoffed. “You save that for whomever wants to hear it. Not me!”
“Jay-”
He raised a hand to cut her short. “Don’t you say a word. You and dad are clearly traitors and two faced beings! You led me on all these years making me believe I had a chance with becoming an Alpha! You saddled me with every responsibilities in relation to the pack! Not knowing you were just making a fool of me. I detest you all! Especially your sick to the bone late husband!” Jayden spat.
Meagan’s emotions were spilling out of control and she couldn’t take the blame anymore, neither was she going to allow anyone disrespect her dead husband. It was not their fault that fate decided to pull a fast one on them.
Pointing a trembling finger at him, her face morphed into an unreadable expression. “Now listen young man, I won’t have you talk about your father like that! Do you know how hard it was for him knowing his sons would be in conflict after his death? Do you know how much of a sleepless nights he had with the thoughts of you? Do you realize how heavy his heart was till death? You know nothing about all of this because you are too selfish and all you do is think about yourself! Only you!”
“Mom!”
“Let me finish! Let me fucking finish!” Meagan screamed. “I don’t care what it is you think of me anymore, but I won’t have you disrespect my man now that he is dead! You know clearly that Jaylen was never keen on the activities concerning the Fortress and he does well for himself in Chicago. How do you think someone like that would want what you have? Your paranoia was one of the reasons you sent your own brother away. Your selfishness made you miss the several years of bonding and brotherhood with him. How low can you get Jayden? Why won’t you just think appropriately?!”
Jayden ended up staring at her squarely with a snide smirk playing on his lips. “Oh, you really don’t know how low I can get? Well I’ll tell you now! I can get very low if it is to get what belongs to me!”
Meagan took a few fast steps towards him and she pulled at his shirt. Tears rolled down her face. “Can you listen to yourself? Why won’t you let peace reign for goodness sake Jayden?!” She gritted. He didn’t reply. She reached out to touch his cheeks with both of her hands. “Please baby… please I can’t take this anymore. I want some peace, also let your father find some peace in death. Please let this go. You can have every other thing but just leave this Alpha position to Jaylen.”
Jayden grabbed her hands roughly and pushed her away from him almost making her tumble to the ground. “Back the hell away from me! If you think I would give in to defeat so easily, then you have got something definitely coming!”
“Jayden please!” Meagan wailed. “Please son… I am begging you. I can’t watch my sons tear at each other anymore. Please baby.” She begged sincerely.
Jayden wasn’t listening to her as an entirely different thought came to his mind. Rather than accept defeat he would take just do what he thinks and feels he deserves from Jaylen. Jayden would rather have one of it than lose both.
Jaylen turned towards his mother and stared her down. “Jaylen would have to make his choice right now, cause I am about to make him do so. He either hands over the Alpha position or give me back my woman!”
Meagan stared wide eyed at him. “How can you request for such thing? You know it’s not possible. Jaylen loves Lorelei.”
He shrugged. “You really think I give a shit? Do I look like I care about what anyone of you feels like? If no one cared about how hurt I would feel too, then there is no need bothering about how anyone of you feels. I would get what I want either by hook or crook!” He grimaced in anger.
“Jayden! No please don’t-”
And with that Jayden stormed out of the room and with determined steps he headed towards Jaylen’s room.
“Jayden! Wait!” Meagan ran after him with her heart palpitating. She wished for the first time in her entire life that she wasn’t alive to witness the impending doom.
