Divorced Ex-Luna Returns With Triplets
CHAPTER SIXTY-FOUR: Liam HERE?

Nathaniel'S POV

"She said his name is Martin. Find out everything about him. And also, watch that Daniel O'Broom." I gritted out.

"It is O'Briel, Nathaniel." He corrected me.

I still have not been able to find the one behind the attack on the Luna Queen and there have been several reports of such attacks happening around neighboring packs. It got me wondering who could be doing this. Who was waging wars against innocent packs and finding pleasure in it?

Ever since the night of the full moon, I have been unable to rest. Going to and fro at every mention of trail found, I was starting to go crazy. I racked my head throughout the night, trying to figure out who could be an enemy. I had Alphas who envied my pack land. There were so many rogues who would do anything to invade my pack and the ironic part is that I have not had a rogue invasion in years after signing a peace treaty with them a century so yes, we are back to the question, who was this cloaked person who could do as he pleased in my territory?

Grayson stepped into his room, bowing as he placed a file on the table. "Alpha Roland sent this. Two of his warriors were found dead with their hearts ripped out tragically. The person behind it is yet to be known." He explained. So this was not just happening to me alone. I guess they could now see that I was not after the Alpha King's throne. Even though I knew some Alphas would still have their heads in their asses thinking I wanted to be King. It has never even been a goal of mine. I have several things to do like bringing my pack to a level where we cannot be compared and well, making Maurene mine again.

"So what? He wants me to help him. After he had gone against me at the last meeting, oh, he should have thought hard that tables turn too. It started from the Alpha King and it slowly spreading." He clicked my tongue, picking up the bottle of whiskey and pouring it in the cup.

Just as I lifted the cup to my mouth, Grayson ran to me in a flash and gripped my hand. "You don't want to be reeking of alcohol when you meet the Alpha King today, do you?" He downed the content and moved to the seat before me. As I looked at my Beta, I couldn't help but think if I truly knew him.

He looked at me, cocking his head to the side. "What are you thinking?"

My eyes twitched and I looked away. "Nothing. Just weary of this construction of a thing. I have warned the pack members to steer clear of the place and I have also made sure to tell Maurene who owned the pack."

His eyes narrowed. "You are worried?"

"Yeah, I am, honestly. I know as an Alpha I am not supposed to voice it out but I am getting anxious by the seconds, knowing fully that there is a threat out there that is either close to us or far from us and he is doing as he pleases. Anxiety is killing me and the fact I do not know what happened on the full moon night didn't help matters at all." I said all in one breath.

"Am I the only one who finds it weird that this same site that once slandered Maurene has brought Amanda into focus?" He asked, his left brow drawn up.

"Do you think it might be the same person?" I questioned.

"I don't know but I will keep looking into it. You should leave for your meeting with the Alpha King. I heard he does not take kindly to lateness." He said.

After sorting out a few things and fighting the urge to go and meet Maurene at the construction site, I finally found my way to my car and drove for the Alpha King's mansion. As expected, he had a tight security and I saw why they had to wait for his Luna Queen to leave before she was attacked.

"Alpha Nathaniel." I told the bulky man who looked down at me like I was some ant.

"I know." He ran the detecting stick around my body before asking me to follow him. I took note of the environment and noticed how put in place things were. Unfortunately, I haven't heard about them having kids.

I felt the air of authority the moment I stepped into the living room where the Alpha King sat with his Luna Queen by his side, holding him there. I noticed the look of fatigue on his face. It was pale and looked sickly. Did the full moon affect him too?

"Alpha King," I gave him a curt bow.

"Take a seat and go straight to the point." He said blankly.

I said nothing as I took my seat, feeling the hawk eyes of his wife, Evangeline, on me.

"If you want me to be direct, you know who might be behind the attack of your Luna Queen but you are not giving up the answers which might make me question your motives, Alpha King." I leaned closer, narrowing my eyes on him. He scoffed. "Do you think I would kill my Luna Queen? What nonsense!" He hissed but his wife held him in place, preventing him from flaring out.

"No, I see how protective you are of her. What if you didn't want your hand stained and employed the hand of another to-"

"Mind you are spewing, you shallow Alpha!" He growled, his eyes flashing with golden color. His wolf was on the edge. Something was wrong.

He began to cough incessantly and his wife jolted to her feet in panic to get water. I watched them closely. She hurriedly made him drink it. When he calmed down, she faced me and said, "Stop it. I know what you are trying to do. Alex will never kill me. Although I think you would have to keep investigating."

"I am right. You know who the enemy is." I spoke up. "You want to use me to fight him off."

"I wish. But the enemy is a common one. He has been even before your grandfather reigned. He was there when your father died at a young age and the Alpha duty had to fall on you, Nathaniel. Look around you and who might that be." She explained.

I looked, contemplating what she said. "And why should I believe you since the Alpha King had refused to divulge such information?"

She raised her chin. "You should be thankful that I as the Luna Queen haven't decided to ask you why you do not have a Luna yet since it is against the traditions for an Alpha to be single for too long." She directed a look at me. She was playing a game now to protect her husband. I knew it.

"But-"

"The Alpha King would like to take some rest. You should take your leave, Alpha Nathaniel." She cut me off. I didn't want to fight so I rose to my feet and have the Alpha King was last look.

"Alphas are losing their pack members and the Alpha King is holes up in his mansion. Good." I uttered a ridiculous snort.

"You know nothing." Evangeline bit out, her nose flared up.

"Then make me know something." I retorted. I didn't want to leave without succeeding. I hated it.

"You cannot get what you want from us, Nathaniel. Find the source of the attack on me or you lose your pack and your right as the rightful heir to the Alpha position. That time, you would not need a Luna after that." She took her husband upstairs and I had no choice than to leave. The moment I stepped out of the mansion, I looked out of the corner of my eyes.

The Luna Queen was protecting the Alpha King which could only meet one thing. She has taken up the position. Was the Alpha King dying?

As I moved to leave, Liam appeared in my sight and I paused, giving him a skeptical look. "I didn't think you would have special affiliations with the Royal family." I mused.

He snorted. "What are you doing here, Nathaniel?" He asked.

I smiled. "What an Alpha does. Goodbye, Liam and yes before I forget, the name under which you signed that land on cannot be found. So I would really appreciate it if you come by today because I have issued a warning to Maurene, the supervisor that all works must be paused with immediate effect."

"You didn't -"

"I did and you will explain to me who that name belonged to." I didn't wait for him to say anything as I walked away from him. I had seen the name and Grayson had also pointed it out. Apparently, Maurene didn't know and it annoyed the hell out of me.

How could she be so naive?
