Divorced Ex-Luna Returns With Triplets
Chapter 109

Maurene'S POV

Moving into Nathaniel's pack house was something I knew I could not refuse. With what happened with Evangeline, I was scared for my safety. It was as if they were either trailing me or Evangeline. This was becoming worse day by day and it

was scaring me.

What if they had chosen to take me with them?

What would have happened to my kids and to Diana?

Gosh, I didn't want to think of the worst possible ways they could have touched me. It has been one week of poorly trying to reach Eva's line again. It kept ringing and she didn't pick up. Where could they have taken her to?

I wondered. I tried to think of the person that could behind this but no one came to mind. I blamed her. She was never forthcoming with me. Always hiding things from me all because of her husband. Now see who needs saving?

I shook my head. I had tried to convince Nathaniel that I could work with them on the case but he refused, saying it was unsafe. From the way Grayson had gazed at me, I knew he was hiding something and I was going to find that out anytime soon.

I had the kids settled into one of the room in Nathaniel's layer and as expected, he had the kids watched over. He claimed that he didn't want to take any risk at all, not when it came to his kids' safety.

Restlessness swirled in my guts and I rolled on my back, gazing at the blank, white ceiling, like the way mind was. I tried to think of anyone that was suspicious in their lives but the fact that they kept no one close angered me more than I wanted.

Or maybe I was missing a piece. Someone. Somebody. Who was it?

I let out a deep breath through my mouth, sitting up as I stared into space. Racking my brain hard, I tried to link all the event. From the beginning when she was attacked to the day she was kidnapped. Nathaniel had recognized the wolf tattoo. Maybe he knew who it was. Maybe he was hesitating to tell me. I'd better asked him myself. I scrambled down the bed, pulling on a sweater. As I reached the door, my phone rang on the drawer.

Who could be calling by such time at night?

I should check who it. I went back to the drawer, glancing down at the brightened screen. It was an unknown number. It had called me but disconnected. Below it, I saw a message. My brows etched closer in confusion as I picked my phone up, slumping on the bed who see the content of the message.

You want to save her? Come to this place. You alone! Alone! - UNKNOWN

Attached with it was the address.

My heart hammered against my chest. What should I do? I was told to come alone. Of course, I have watched this particular scene on TV where the lead is told to come alone and something unimaginable happens. If I had to do this for Eva's safety, then I would.

I walked to the wardrobe, bringing out clothes that would help with the chill air outside. I was not going to tell Nathaniel anything. If he was not going to include me in his plans then I will not bother him. I will do this by myself and save Evangeline as well.

After I had dressed up properly, I put on the face cap, hiding my face fully. I tucked my phone into my pocket and exited the room. Since I knew my way around the pack house, I stepped out through the door, making sure to keep my steps feather-like.

I got a cab not longer after, passing him the address, I relaxed in back seat, trying not to be discouraged by the fear in my belly.

Was I walking into danger despite knowing? Yes.

Will Nathaniel be mad when he hears of it? Yes. Will he throw a fit? Yes.

Will I bring back Evangeline? I don't know.

The fact that I was uncertain about that didn't sit well me with at all. I needed all the encouragement I could get. Arriving at a place, the driver had dropped me at a farther distance than the place. I gave him fare and followed the direction from the message.

I glanced around, hoping no one had followed me. By the time I got to a big building that seemed like a warehouse, I realized that I had walked so far from where I could be found if anything goes wrong.

Gosh, I was rethinking my decision right now. Should I continue or I should turn back? I can still do that now.

No, Evangeline was my friend and I was going to do this for her. I headed to the entrance, trying to will boldness into me. I reached the door, pushing it up with a force I didn't know I possessed.

There were so many empty boxes around and I had just had to find my way through them.

I tried dialing the number that had called me earlier but it was not going through. In fact, it was not even ringing at all. The person had used a burner phone I guessed.

I soon reached a clearing, my brows furrowed closer. "Anyone?" I yelled out, almosting wincing at my voice bouncing off the walls then back at me.

I shook my head and continued to walk. "Evangeline?" I called out, hoping she would make a sound but she didn't which earned confusion from me.

What if the person had deceived me and wanted me here? What if it was a trap?

Gosh! Why didn't think to this extent? I glanced around, fear eating me up as my breathing became rapid.

I should have thought this through or even informed Nathaniel that I was coming here. I could still turn back, right?

Maybe I should. Just I moved to twirl around, I caught the sight of red... liquid. Was that... was that Blood?

My face mirrored horror as I lifted my gaze up to see an horrific sight. A scream worked up my throat and I quickly clamped my hand over my mouth, muffling it. My legs locked and I hit the floor with my bottom, scrambling to the back in fear of what I staring at.

Whosoever did this was heartless. A young girl was hung up at the ceiling, her body dripping with blood as the rope was tightened around her neck. A sob racked through me.

Who did this?

My phone beeped with a message and I knew it would be from the person behind this.

Oh! Don't be scared. Worse will happen to her.- UNKNOWN.

"Maurene?!" A familiar voice yelled out and I jerked towards the place, feeling relieved that he came. Nathaniel appeared at the end of the place, breathing hard as he glanced around, probably searching for me.

When he did, he rushed to me, instantly wrapping me up in a hug. I didn't stop him instead I let my head fall on his shoulder as tears began to roll down my cheeks. His hands patted my back.

How could this person be so heartless? How could he kill an innocent child? An innocent child! I could not even imagine this happening to a child of mine not to talk of others.

"Please save Evangeline. Please..." I begged. For the first time, I placed my hope in Nathaniel. I was willing to trust him if he would stop this serial killer from killing Evangeline.
