Divorced Ex-Luna Returns With Triplets
Chapter 110

Nathaniel'S POV

I knew Maurene won't sit right. After I told her to tell us about what happened and she saw thewolf tattoo. She wanted to know more but I was not willing to risk her knowing at all. It was better when she didn't know anything. That way, she would not be scared or threatened.

But Evangeline was her friend and the Maurene I knew would not give up on her. I wanted to check on the kids when I had seen her sneak out of her room and I had wondered where she was.

I was even ashamed that I thought she was working with the enemy but imagine my shock when I saw her hop on a cab and go to a place that she didn't know. I followed her closely, feeling the need to see where she was headed to. She was foolish but at the same time, it was what attracted her to me. She was always intentional about the people she kept close and I didn't expect her not to think like that toward Evangeline.

"Please, please save Evangeline." She begged me. At that point, all I wanted to do was catch the person who had put such a horrendous sight together. She had been vulnerable to me at that point. I wanted to hide her away from the horrors but for how long can I do that?

Reality was dawning. The Luna Queen was missing. I have held off visiting the Alpha King because anyone could be tracking me the way they did to Evangeline. We didn't even know who was behind these men or why they had kidnapped Evangeline but one thing was sure the one who was behind this was quite strong and cunning.

I just needed to find who it was. I could feel it in my bones that it was someone who had a closer relationship with the Alpha King. I didn't want to suspect Liam since I know the way Alex reacted to him but at the same time, he was on the top list of the suspects in my mind. I think I need more information about him.

We soon arrived at the pack house, and I glanced over at Maurene who was still in shock of what she had seen. I didn't want to blame her just yet because she was in a weak state. I was basically holding off my tongue at the moment. I stepped out of the car, making sure to kill the car's engine and went to the other side to assist Maurene out. I didn't even need to check the time because I knew we were deep into the night.

I jammed the door behind me, holding Maurene as we headed for the door. Entering the living room, no one was in sight. Of course, I had doubled the pack patrols and made sure to keep the CCTV coverage on at all times. I definitely couldn't risk anything at the moment.

I led Maurene to her room, hoping that I would leave her and return to my office to continue what I had left behind but her soft, inaudible voice stopped me. "Don't leave. Stay, please."

I must have heard wrong. Did Maurene just tell me to stay with her tonight? My wolf appeared to be more happy than it was these days.

I turned around to her, glancing at her bed then back at her. "Are you sure? I don't want to in-"

"Yes, I am. Please stay." She cut me off. My chest tightened. She must have been thrown off balance.

I let out a deep breath, contemplating. If I accept her request now, things may go awry or change for the better. If I refuse her, the distance between us will be more. I needed to make a choice. I chose the first. I will keep my hands to myself. That was not a promise.

I put off my shoes and went to lay on the bed. She rose to her feet, pulling off the hoodie she had worn and she was left in a tank top. I could see her little buds poking out and I swallowed hard, fighting down my instincts, feeling hot, white adrenaline rushing to my groin. She joined me on the bed, shifting closer to me so I could spoon her.

I held my breath, her intoxicating scent was all I could smell and the sound of her breathing was all I could hear.

I watched her chest fall and rise, her heartbeat becoming music while she slowly took the hand I had perfectly tucked between my thighs and brought to grope one of her boobs.

She shifted closer, leaving no more space between us, her ass stuck to my hardened dick. If I moved a little, her ass will glide over my dick which will make things worse so I stilled. "Are you sure about this?" I managed to ask in a strangled voice.

She nodded. Realization dawned on me. She was not doing this because she wanted me. It was because of what she had seen. I closed my eyes, shaking my head. I was not going to do something like this when she was vulnerable.

I let her place my hand on one of her boobs even though she wanted me to do more, I didn't. All I did was scoot closer to her and sniffed her neck, feeling my wolf relaxed and I closed my eyes to sleep. If she needed to fight her monsters, then I would be right by her side.

Maurene'S POV

I never had a liking for horror movies. In fact, I thought of people that watched them as demons or being possessed by demons.

Why would you sit down in the dark of the night to watch a horror movie when there are less scary ones like rom-coms?

And the fact that they sleep so peacefully at night bothered me. Today I saw something even more dreadful than the ones on TV. This one was not made with CGI effects or costumes. It was real.

The little girl hanging there was once a breathing human. She had been strangled and bled to death. I could still see the way her eyes popped out, her blood dripping down her feet. It was vivid in my head. Whosoever did that could do worse to Evangeline.

I felt stupid for thinking I could save Evangeline. It was all a trick. A trap. I was being tested by this person and I didn't even know if I passed or failed. All I wanted to do was return to when I used to live in the orphanage. Maybe then I would not have to witness all of these.

I was even more scared that if I was left alone to sleep afterward, I might begin to have nightmares and eventually go crazy. Out of the things I was prepared to see, that definitely was not on the list.

I didn't have any choice but to stop Nathaniel from leaving me alone in the room. I had thought of asking him to stay with me for the night. I was a little bit scared that he would refuse but he didn't. Instead, he stayed. I was quite grateful to him.

The moment I slid my body closer to him, heat rushed down my spine as I tried not to lean deep into him. I could not resist taking his hands to hold my breasts. He had seen him stare at them. He knew he wanted to touch them. Why not give him more reason to sleep on the bed with me? I thought before I gave in to the deep, dark sleep.
