Divorced Ex-Luna Returns With Triplets

Nathaniel'S POV

"We will help you to the throne if you allow us, Nathaniel." Seth said, his thick voice cutting through as we all sat in the office.

I stared at him blankly, wondering how everything was so intertwined. "The throne? Who said I wanted the throne? Your nephew?" I arched my brows as I relaxed back in my seat. I didn't let my roam to the feminine figure sitting just beside Grayson who gave me a pained look. I have been doing a great of ignoring them which worked quite well.

"You don't?" Seth sounded that he could not believe it.

I shook my head. "I don't."

"Then you don't know anything then." He snorted.

I wanted to ask him what that was about but I decided against it.

"Since the Alpha King has gone missing and you have chosen not to divulge his whereabouts, it is only right that another Alpha King will be chosen. And that person should be you." He said, glancing at his nephew.

"I see. Let those Alphas decide that." I dismissed it. I was not going to get ahead of myself. I didn't want the throne. Grayson knew that and he still allowed them to ask me.

They all rose to their feet, lifting their chins. "I will get back to the Lycan King and tell him of the issues that is going on here."

"But make sure to curb the dangers in your realm as if any disturbance is made in our realm, we will take action, Alpha Nathaniel." He warned before turning on his feet and his subordinates followed after him.

We remained in the office. Maurene, Grayson and I. None of us said anything to one another.

"Don't you want to see your father?" I suddenly asked Grayson. "Sounded like you had lots of things to do back at home." I sighed.

Then I looked at Maurene finally. "Aren't you curious as to what your father looked like?" I asked, this time feeling curious myself. I hadn't seen her reaction to what Seth had told her.

The fact that she was accepting this so easily surprised me since I was shocked to the core when I found out myself.

"I am." She replied. "But I cannot leave you." She added, making me narrow my eyes on her. I wanted to laugh at her feigned concern.

"Or you cannot leave the kids?" I snickered. Hurt flashed through her face and I didn't care to apologize. "About Liam. Are you going to meet him?" I picked up a file concerning Evangeline.

"No, I'm not. There is no need for us to meet." She shrugged.

Relief washed through me and a dating question popped in my head. I flicked my eyes to her, contemplating if I should I ask or not but I went on. "What if Liam happened to be the one behind the attack on your friend?" I watched her with keenly.

She was noy expecting that question because she flinched. "I..."

"Nathaniel," Grayson gritted out.

"I had Andreas reach out to a woman at the witches coven. Apart from the information that we got about his mother, we were told that Liam came to meet them because he wanted their backing." I explained. "Do you know about that, Maurene?"

She nodded. "I didn't know for certain but we were making rounds in visiting people." She stated.

"People?" I raised my brows. "Like who?"

"You. The vampire king and well... I had joked about him visiting the witches coven. I didn't know that he actually did." She pursed her lips as annoyance creased her brows.

She didn't know lots of things and that was why I had brought her back to the pack house because Liam was hiding lots of things from her.

She seemed like she was struggling between her thoughts. "Then that means there were things he hid from you." I wanted to hurt her with my words like the way I was numb.

"Yes, you are right." She confirmed, taking me by surprise. "Anyway, I figured that out, you see." She gave me a light smile. We engaged in a locked gaze.

"You should tell her, Nathaniel." Grayson said, cutting in..

I blinked, looking away. Maurene glanced between us. "Tell me what?" She directed a questioning look at me.noveldrama

"Then you should tell her yourself since you seemed to be bearer of secrets after all." I bit out.

He gave a long stare before shaking his head and turned to his sister. "Liam indeed hid lots of things from you and one of them is the reason we had cancelled the contract with him." Her lips parted. "You knew too?"

I narrowed my eyes at her. "Knew what?"

"That Liam was sent by Alex to build the hospital on your pack land so that he can take the land from you." She said, looking between us.

Well, that was a new revelation. Wasn't it?

"No, we didn't." I told her before Grayson could ask or say anything. "But when were you planning on telling us that? Huh? After he had taken the pack? A pack that you were once a Luna? I put you on board because you asked me to and I wanted to know these things but apparently you have been doing a great job at hiding them? And you claim that you don't want to meet him?" I sneered, feeling rage curl into me like a serpent slithering up the wall.

"Tell me! Who knows if you are an enemy and it could be staged that Evangeline got kidnapped because she knew that I would happily take you in for the sake of my kids and that you were the way to snatch the pack from me!" I snarled. She reared back in shock, staring at me tears glazing in her eyes.

"Nathaniel, you need to relax here and-"

"Shut up, Lycan! You don't tell me what to do!" I growled at him, letting my wolf into the surface.

"You are as much of a Lycan as I am, Nathaniel." He yelled back, his golden blue eyes glaring back at me. I didn't back down though. "You are not going to disrespect or hurt my sister,"

"You want to defend your sister like you have been doing! Betraying me! Playing with the trust I have in you!" I bellowed angrily, wishing I could reach for him but I didn't want to opt for violence.

I do not care if I hurt her or not because she deserves it!

"Enough!" Maurene's voice cut through the tense air. "You are right. I was told to trick you to taking the pack land. I wondered for a long time why you had decided to cancel the contract and Liam was not comely with the response. I," She shouted, pointing to herself.

"I was not aware of anything for a long time. I didn't know who Liam was nor did I know of his relationship with Alex and Evangeline. And you are the father of my kids, there was no way I could have agreed to that!" She stated all in one breath. I scoffed. "Do you want to know the reason I had cancelled the contract? Well, contrary to your belief that I was jealous, I found out that your man was a lair and a thief. And not just that, he had killed someone!" I watched shock flashed on her face like a bolt of thunder. She stepped back, shaking her head.

I wanted to roll my eyes at her reaction. "I was trying to make you see that he was not whom you thought him to be but you were blind. Stupid. Foolish and well, stubborn! You thought I was jealous and I didn't care for you! Well, boom, your man is pure evil!" I sneered at her.

"No way!" She looked at her brother who only confirmed it for her. "You are lying! Liam will never-" She seemed to realize that she was wrong. She trusted the wrong person. Realization dawned on her and she turned around and ran out of the office.

I stood there, breathing hard and heavily. Grayson turned back to look at me. "Please, for the love of the goddess, don't hurt her! You can hurt me!" He pleaded.

"I don't plan on hurting her, Grayson. She deserved the truth." That was all I said as I exited the office as well. I was tired of bottling up the truth in me while I protected her.

The only reason she had come to comfort me was because Grayson was her brother and not because she saw that I was burning for her!
