Divorced Ex-Luna Returns With Triplets

So that Liam would not notice anything, I blinked, swallowing hard. "You want Alex's whereabouts? Why didn't you ask Evangeline since you have her?"

"The bitch would not answer me, you know. I have asked her even with torment, she refused to give up her mate's whereabouts." He shrugged. "That is why your son is here. Since she refused and I know Maurene loves her kid, she will gladly tell me where Alex is right?" He smiled, batting his lashes at her.

I thought of what next to say to him to make him lose focus but he began to go toward Maurene and she quickly backed away from him.

"You are worse than a monster, Liam. Your father shouldn't have just thrown you out, he should have killed you." She flared her nose as she looked at him with hate in her orbs.

Pain flicked in his eyes but he soon replaced it with menace. "You know Evangeline said the same thing. She said that Alex should have killed me when he had the chance but he didn't. Did he? Now, I am here, waiting for you both to give me an answer or else! You will take his corpse out of here." He threatened.

"Done yet?" I asked Grayson again.

"Almost. She is making them fall dizzy. They are quite strong. Okay, she is done." He told me.

Good. It was time to attack. I made a slight gesture to Eloida to disarm the men while I grabbed Liam and pushed him to the floor. There was only little Eloida could do. Alex had put a protection spell on his house to fight any witch's power so she could not kill Liam yet.

Maurene screamed as the men began to groan in pain, holding their ears tight. They all began to drop their guns.

"If you know what is good for you, you will leave as soon as possible!" She warned them and they all ran for dear life.

Liam struggled against me, trying to wrench free from me but I punched him in the face instead. "How. Dare. You. Touch. My. Kid?" I hit him as I said each word.

Blood sputtered on the floor. "Nathaniel! You will kill him," Maurene yelled.

I didn't care at this point. I was blinded by rage. I wanted to kill him. He had done enough. A lot. Then he went as far as touching my kid!

"We are coming already," Grayson informed me and relief washed through me. He used that moment to push me off him and somehow, fished out for a gun from his back pocket. He pointed it at me and I raised my hand in a surrender motion.

"Liam! Please, don't hurt him. I will follow you. I will take you to where Alex is!" She yelled at him but the bloody look on his face said it all. He has given up on any hope of humanity.

From behind him, Grayson made it out with Evangeline and halted to a pause when he saw the scene. Liam instantly whirled around, pulling the trigger in a loud bang and Evangeline's scream was cut short as the bullet speared into her chest. An animalistic growl from the corner and Alex appeared, looking sickly and weak but the look on his face was pure feral. He glared at his stepbrother.

"How dare you? You killed my mate!" He snarled, gnashing his teeth as he stomped toward him. I caught a shade of black in his pants, he had brought a gun as well.

Liam pulled the trigger but nothing went off. The bullet had finished from the gun. He let out a hiss as he scrambled around to pick up a gun but Alex had the advantage because he got to him in a flash and stabbed me. Maurene gasped, watching the awful incident.

"This is what you get for killing her." He gritted out, pushing him to the floor. Staggering toward Evangeline, Grayson stepped away as Alex fell to his knees beside her.

Tears streamed down his face as he held his mate to his chest. Oh, he is dying. He will die...

"My precious mate." That was the last words he said before giving up the ghost.

I let out a deep breath I didn't know I was holding as Maurene fell to her knees, crying hard. My heart squeezed in my chest. Her best friend had betrayed her. Lied to her. Used her. And now... died before her eyes. I reached for her and brought her close to me. I cradled her to my chest. At least we had the easiest way out of this.

"Nathaniel, He... I'm sorry. I should not have..." She sobbed hard and all I did was pat her head. Grayson signaled to me that he was leaving to check on the situation of everything.
