Divorced Ex-Luna Returns With Triplets
Chapter 107

Nathaniel'S POV

The enemy had struck. Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

I was definitely not expecting it to be now. In fact, never! I didn't know how I did it. How I got to Maurene and picked up her. I vaguely remember sending orders at Grayson to have her car brought to the pack house while I led her back to her house. They packed everything they would be using. There was no way I would leave my kids unprotected with an enemy taht was not identified yet.

I knew I had to bring them back to my pack.

"Mommy, we are going with daddy back to his house, huh?" Kylie asked her mother who was still in shock.

"Yes, you are." I answered when she didn't. I couldn't let the kids know that was something that was bothering their mother and me as well.

I needed to keep them safe and I was going to do just that. We soon arrived at the pack house and Grayson was already waiting for me. When he saw the people I had come with, something like relief dawned on him and to my surprise the kids recognized who Grayson was. After greeting and all, I had them settled into their rooms, on the same floor as mine.

Leila went to play with the kids while I led Maurene back to my office, alongside Grayson. Andreas will be meeting soon. I already informed him that I wanted him at the pack and also sent Hunter to keep an eye on the Alpha King. I strictly ordered him not to fight if anyone came to take his body.

I didn't know the strength of these men and there was no way I would be sending one of my warriors to the battle ground like that.

Maurene looked around, probably feeling that she was back again. I was very sure that if she could turn back the hands of time not to be here, she will gladly do it. Grayson watched with a strange glint in his eyes, something too familiar and longing in it.

That reminded me. I needed to check something out about Maurene and from what I was seeing, I don't think Grayson would be the best person to give this job. I needed to know this by myself. Maybe I will have Andreas handle it. She finally took her seat, closing her eyes briefly to calm herself. When she opened it, our gaze locked. Nothing passed. We just stared into each other's eyes, not uttering any word.

"I think we have to speak for us to comprehend things, don't we?" Grayson's voice cuts through the air and we both look away from each other. I exhaled deeply, thank goodness we were not allowed. God knows what would have happened within the few minutes we had used in the staring competition.

"So tell us in detail, calmly. What happened?" Grayson inquired from her.

She sighed again, keeping her hand on her kneecap. "She had called me to accompany her to see Alex and even though I had warned her, she convinced me. I went over to her place and on our way, we were stopped and she was dragged away by the armed men." She summarized.

"Did any of them say anything probably pointing to a direction?" I asked her, staring at her closely.

Her eyes moved in their sockets as if she was contemplating to answer.

"See, Maurene. You will have to come clean about everything or else, I don't think we would be able to find Maurene." I quickly added in case she decided to keep some information to herself like Amanda did.

"Yes. It was as if she knew who had sent them and not just that... one of them asked about what they would do to me and the man had responded that someone wanted me alive anyway. Probably the same man wanted me alive." She explained, coming to understand it herself.

"The same man wanted you alive? What have you got to do with the entire situation? If I remember clearly, you are not even related to anyone." Grayson mused.

"But I am related to him." She gave me a direct look. She blinked. "I am related to Nathaniel somehow and that is why they want me. That is the only possible reason someone would want me alive."

"The person that would want you alive will be someone who means well to you and cannot afford to hurt you but can hurt someone else. For as long as you are fine, he won't touch you." I thought aloud.

The compass in my mind was pointing to someone but I didn't want to take the option as a possibility. The fucker will dare not do something like that. He had forged names. There was no way... wait. "Do you remember the day you were attacked?" I asked her.

She nodded. "Yes, I do. The man... he also made mention of it. He noted that Eva and I were together, just like that day as well. Whosoever this person was is only after Alex and Eva. We need to stop them, Nathaniel." She gave me a pleading look.

"And do you know any hint that might lead us to the person?" I looked away. She was my weakness. That she didn't know. I will move the world for her and if I have to catch who was behind Eva's attack just to be in her good graces, then I will do just that.

"Wolf tag. There was a wolf tag on their necks." She suddenly said.

My ears perked, I reached for the drawer and pulled out a picture, showing it to her. "Does this look familiar to it?"

She narrowed her eyes at it, trying to remember. "Yes. They are the same. Almost alike." She glanced up at me. "Why do you have this?" She questioned.

I pulled the picture away from her. "You remember when I was queried by the Alpha King? I started working on it and saw one of these on the man who had fallen beside you that day." I told her the truth. There were lots of things Maurene didn't know and I didn't know how to disclose them to her without looking like the villain.

She slowly nodded. "So what should we do?"

"We wait. The person is going to send you a message that you should come. I am sure of this." Grayson said, appearing to be deep in thought.

If what he said was right, then we were thinking alike but why would he go to such an extent?

That night I had the kids settled in and tucked to bed nicely. I wanted to check on Maurene but I was scared of myself. I didn't think that I had that self-control within me. SOMEWHERE HIDDEN

A cold bucket of water was splashed against Evangeline's face. She gasped into life, feeling the cold seep into her bones. She raised her eyes up to meet the maniacal grin on his lips.

"It took you this long." She scoffed, realizing that she was tied.

"Yes, I needed Alex asleep for a while, you know." He answered smugly.

"Alex should have shot you dead when you came back." She spat angrily, wriggling at the binds around her hands.

He directed a loatheful look at her. "But he didn't. And that was his first mistake. Allowing me back into the royal fold. Even after what I did to his mother, he still permitted me to come back. He is just a fool who didn't deserve to be the Alpha King, don't you agree?" He arched his brows in question at her.

"And you think you would make a better king?" She scoffed, shaking her head in utter derision. That angered him. He stomped toward her, pulling her wet hair into his hands, and jerked her head back to spit on her face.

"Yes. Better than your mate ever was Evangeline. I will be everything you think I will never be. I will prove you all wrong and rise to power. Just watch. I doubt you would be alive by then, Luna Queen." He mocked her. She closed her eyes, gnashing her teeth at the pain of tugging her hair. He didn't release it, instead, he tugged further. "Cat's got your tongue? Huh?"

He pushed her away and she bit back the hiss of pain.

"What are you going to do with her? You can't hurt her!" She yelled at him.

"Her? You mean her? Don't worry. I will make her the next Luna Queen. One that her wretched ex-husband couldn't make her. I will make her mine and there would no one else would have her!" "So ambitious, you know."

"Yes, I am. I have been since I was born. Now, Luna Queen, you are going to tell me where the Alpha King is or else I will make you vomit it." His voice had a creepy edge to it and it sent chills down Evangeline's spine.
