Divorced Ex-Luna Returns With Triplets

Maurene'S POV

I closed my eyes tight, still riling from the hurt of his words. I didn't think Liam could be that awful. In fact, I had my few suspicions that he could be doing something worse but what I didn't suspect was that he was doing pure evil. The fact that I had also remained oblivious to it made me want to go crazy.

I didn't need anyone telling me that Liam had used me. It was glaring and I would be in denial if I didn't want to believe it. Now he told me that he wanted to meet me and explain the kind of person Evangeline was.

All of them... they all wanted to use me against Nathaniel. They wanted his pack and they were not able to get it.

I had decided to let go of the past and focus on the present with Evangeline, what I didn't expect was that Nathaniel would change toward me. The kiss from last night was still real but the sting of his words speared through my heart. The fact that he told me that he didn't trust me pushed it further. I wanted to hate him but I could not. Fear gnawed at me as I sat in my room, I was taking everything in fast and it was dangerous. From Evangeline's kidnap to my origin revelation, I hadn't had the time to rest and think.

And with Nathaniel, doing what he knew how to do best, I was left comfortless. A knock rapped on the door and I cleaned the tears with the back of my palm quickly. "Come in." I ushered, clearing my voice as I sat up tight. Grayson made his way inside, looking at me with pity etched on his face. I was starting to see the resemblance between us. I hadn't seen it before because I had thought he hated me and he didn't want me for Nathaniel. But now, I knew better.

He was trying to protect me.

"You should not blame yourself." He said, pursing his lips. I bit the inside of my cheeks, wanting to tell him that he should have said these words years back, things would not have been like this. He must probably be referring to the last time in the past when Nathaniel demanded for a divorce.

I had blamed myself till I left.

"It is just a phase, it will pass. Please, just be patient with him every step of the way. He will be back to himself and will see that he has hurt you with his words." He added softly, trying to force an assuring smile but failing woefully. Even though I appeared to be okay with him being my brother, I still found it difficult to see him as one or even treat him as one. It was hard. Everything. Life. Me. Nathaniel. I was trying.

"Why didn't you tell him?" I asked. I had learned that even though Nathaniel's father had arranged for him to be the Beta of this pack, he didn't tell Nathaniel who he was or where he was from resulting ti Nathaniel trusting him with his life as a matter of fact.

"Because-" Grayson hesitated, his eyes flicking to me as if he was sworn to secrecy by someone. "There are things Nathaniel does not seem to understand. That was why his father had brought me here because when that hour came, he would not be able to withstand the strong force coming at him." He explained.

Even at that, I still didn't understand what he meant by the hour. What was coming for Nathaniel?

Just as I opened my mouth to ask him what he meant, he rose to his feet. "You will find out soon enough but for now, please try to comfort him. He needs someone who will be by him and you are that person, Maurene." He said before stepping out.

I sat in my room, staring outside through the window. What else was waiting for us?

Alex... Evangeline... Tobiah... who else?

I knew there were many Alphas who were against Nathaniel's rule and they wanted him out of his position so that they could have it. When I was still married to him, I had overheard him talking about how some Alphas were planning on framing him but I think, it backfired on them.

Still stuck in my thoughts, someone barged in, breathing heavily. I glanced up at the maid who was put in charge of the kids and at once I knew something was wrong.

"Luna... your son... Kai is missing."

My heart skipped a beat and everything else happened in a blur. I ran before the maid who was yelling at me to calm down and I bumped into a frigid figure. I glanced up at Grayson who blinked down at me, apparently he didn't know what happened.

"Where are you running to?" His hands steadied me properly on my feet.

"Grayson... my son... Kai is missing." His hands loosened as thoughts swirled through his head.

"We need to call Nathaniel. We need to tell him. Whosoever took Kai must know who he is and why he took him." I rushed the words at Grayson who started. He called someone who went by the name Andreas and finally called Nathaniel.

I didn't know what they said but Nathaniel disconnected the phone call first. Grayson had even forgotten about me because he went toward the office and I used the chance to check the Kylie and Kyle. They were playing in their rooms like they didn't know their brother had gone missing. My Kai... who took him?.

My heart squeezed tight in my chest, feeling a great fear for the first time. What... what if I lose him? What if I never get to him?

No...
