Divorced Ex-Luna Returns With Triplets
Chapter 113

Nathaniel'S POV

I didn't get the time to talk more about whatever it was Andreas had told me about Maurene as I needed to check on Alex. I needed to see how he was doing. All I was just hoping was that he was still alive because if he truly died, things would go terribly wrong for us. Blaire would be king. I was even starting to doubt for now.

I shook my head, trying to maintain focus on the road. I tried not to think about what Andreas had told me. That was impossible. There was no way Maurene could be Sheridan and she was related to Harrison. I knew Harrison had ruled the Lycan Kingdom for as long as I could remember.

He was one of the oldest rulers of that species yet I know yet I wondered why he had not searched for his daughter who had long gone missing if truly Maurene was Sheridan. I haven't checked the document Andreas had sent to me because I didn't have the heart to. This was going to change everything about Maurene. She was human. How could she be?

Maybe that was the reason they had sent her away. Who knows? I needed to go through the document. I was getting more curious and I could feel the unease within me.

Maurene wouldn't like it that I had someone research her past. I needed to. It was important. Especially with Blaire on her tail, looking for who to blame. I was not going to allow him to pin the blame on her especially when she had nothing to do with it. Maybe this came timely. The Lycans will be able to protect her and not allow Blairs to stick his claws into her.

I let out a deep breath, stepped out of my car, and headed straight for Doc. Dwayne's office. Who knew? I could be tailed right now.

"Alpha," He rose to his feet on seeing me. I stopped him. "I didn't know you were coming today."

"I came to check on the patient that was brought here weeks back," I told him.

His mouth parted slightly. "It seemed that his wife had abandoned him. She has not made any visits to him at all which left me worried but since you knew about it, I was relieved a bit." I wanted to tell him that the patient was the Alpha King but it would only put him in more trouble than he was already.

"You don't have to worry about that. Please lead me to him." He took me to the ward where they had kept him. Maurene has suggested that he was admitted under a fake name. It got me wondering if she knew about Liam's actions. I had almost told her but thankfully, she would find out herself and she would see the man she was worried about.

The moment we entered, I could feel Alex's energy dissipating. He was dying. With Evangeline far away from him, the only thing that awaited him was death.

Dwayne made sure he locked the door and came to join me beside his bed. I checked his eyes, noticing the dark spots beneath them. "It is eating him up and I also noticed that there were bits of poison in his blood. He must have flushed it out but it was not done thoroughly." He said, checking the beeping machine.

"Who is he, Alpha? Because judging by his condition, he should have died a long time ago except he was depending on some sort of elemental energy." He mused.

I knew by now that he would have been guessing but I didn't answer him though. Instead, I focused on what he had said. Elemental energy? My father used to tell me that the Alpha King had the energy of the earth. That is why they stay long on the throne.

Then I thought about why Alex was always with Evangeline in public and why he had her protected all the time like he did. Maybe because he was depending on her. He was sucking the life out of her and she let him. That confused me. He could have rejected her and she would not have met this fate but this... he needed to choose another Alpha King. Very soon or else...

I shook my head. "Can you get him to open his eyes now?" I asked him.

Dwayne blinked up at me as if I had just asked him to raise the dead. "Alpha, that is... nearly impossible. He has slipped into a coma and I don't think he can wake up except he does so himself." He said, shaking his head as if he was considering doing it but the doctor in him was telling him not to do anything.

"Dwayne-"

"Alpha, we have to wait for him to wake. Trying anything at this point will only endanger his life." He told me sternly.

I dropped my hand, knowing that the messages the Alphas were expecting would not be coming. Even if I had managed to send them a message, they would want the Alpha King and the Luna Queen. Without them, they would go on to choose the Alpha King.

The disaster was looming and there was nothing I could do about it.

My phone beeped with another message and it was from Andreas. There was nothing he wanted to tell me that I wanted to know right now. I was still recovering from what he had told me and hadn't even checked it yet, he was sending me more. I didn't check it until I instructed Dwayne to message if there was anything up with Alex and if anyone came to threaten him.

I already have Grayson station guards around him and the hospital as well. I was not going to take chances like Evangeline did. She took lots of chances and saw where she ended up. Since the very beginning, they were after her and not Alex. I shook my head, returning to my car. I turned on the car's engine and it revved to life but I didn't move. I let my head fall to the back. There were lots of pieces. More pieces. Maybe I should check what Andreas had sent to me. And Grayson... he is related to her. He is her elder brother. - ANDREAS.

As I read, chill streamed through me, making goosebumps rouse on my skin as I reread the message. Grayson... was her brother? He was... no wonder... he kept her a secret from me for so long. No wonder he did lots of things for her. No wonder. I quickly checked the document that was sent by Andreas. Maurene was in an orphanage and I wondered how my father had known her. He must have known who she was. That was why he had her married to me. He sent more pictures of Grayson in the Lycan Palace.

He hid things from me. I didn't know if I was to be relieved that he was her brother or the fact that I had allowed someone like that to be the Beta of my pack. No wonder he was dominant. Lycan genes, they were. Should I even ask him? Would he answer me?

I wanted to yell at anyone. Why was this happening now?

I had allowed a Lycan to become my Beta! Gosh... What mistake could I have made? How could I have been so blind?

My phone's ringing tone tore through the air and I glanced down at it. It was him. Grayson. He was calling.

Why? Did Andreas tell him anything?

I answered nonetheless. "Yes?" I tried to keep my voice steady.

"There is an emergency meeting with the Alphas. The Lycan officials came."

That was it. At the right time, the Lycan officials arrived.
