Divorced Ex-Luna Returns With Triplets
CHAPTER SIXTY- FIVE: A Supervisor

Maurene'S

POV

Nathaniel was a prick. I had known but I was just realizing. I gritted my teeth as I got into the car. After he had sent the order that all work must be stopped with immediate effect, I thought he was kidding until Grayson came to stop it really. The fuss was between him and me. There was no need to drag Liam's work into this but no, he was being unreasonable and at the same time refused to meet me. I was hurt but I had to hold myself high.

I had to be the woman Liam wanted me to be and I would be just that. Liam told me to check on Galen's place in order for us to start. Hopefully, Galen does not make us stop working like Nathaniel. As I got there, Galen's guards followed me to the location, and I was quite satisfied with the move of things here. They were fast. I instructed most of the men, Liam had helped me with that. Ordering them that they listened to me only made my job easier. He has always made my job easier.

After a while, a guard approached me and I faced him. "Anything else?"

"Sir Galen would like to have lunch with you." He informed me and it was then I realized I have been on the site for hours.

"Alright." I responded. After issuing a few instructions to the men, I started for the entrance to Galen's mansion. On entering, his voice greeted me with a clap of his hands.

I fought back the urge to roll my eyes and strode to him. I looked at the array of dishes on the table and took a seat.

"You didn't even wait for an invitation." He noted.

I scoffed. "I already got one the moment you sent the guard to me and besides, we can't let food like this waste, right?" I smiled.

Galen was tricky. I knew him. After the trick he pulled at the night party the other day, I knew better than to trust him and yet I wondered if Liam didn't see it. He was so busy with his business that he didn't pay attention to me.

"You must forgive me. You are human and I heard you have so many tastes for things unlike us, we only thirst for blood." His smile was as creepy as the glow in his eyes but I maintained composure. He was not going to get to me. I peered a look at him, inclining my head to the side and awaiting his invitation to eat.

"Oh! We may eat." He finally ushered, flicking his fingers as the maids served us. Just as she moved to pour the wine into the cup, I held my hand up for her to stop and she stepped. A plate of steak and a decorated collection of leaves laid on my plate.

I looked around. "What of the lady from the other day?" I asked.

He paused before giving me a look then he blinked in a unanimately manner. "Well, let us say she disobeyed me and paid for it." He shrugged.

I could sense a bit malicious intent in his tone so I did not question any further. I didn't want to know what he was up to. I didn't care. I picked up the fork and knife to cut the steak. Oh, the man was rich.

"You are a wise girl, you know. Sometimes, I wondered where Liam met you." He said. "Oh, under the rain. So soaked and in tears at the pain of rejection." I stilled in place as shock flashed through my orbs at the accuracy of his words. I faced him, the fork and knife hanging in the air as he gave me a wicked, sly and cunning smile which me recognize this man sitting before me. He was no good man. He was a psychopath, a very bad one at that and Liam just sent me to him. "Oh," If there was one thing I learned when I was in Nathaniel's pack, it was recovering from shock almost immediately because the drama should moy surprise you. "He told you?" I pursed my lips and put my focus on the steak. Cutting it into pieces, I contemplated eating it and scared that he could have poisoned it. He would not do that to me. Liam would not let him be.

"No, not at all. He didn't need to tell me before I know, did he? Not like I was the one that helped him figure out where you were." I narrowed my eyes on him. This man was psychotic.

"You know sometimes, all you just have to do is open your eyes and you would see. See past the betrayal of the people you loved, hurt from people you cared for and pain-"

"From someone you wanted and could not have." I cut in, glancing at him slowly. "You could describe it like that."

He beamed a pretentious smirk. "If that is what helps you to sleep at night but you have to listen to me. You have an energy that the enemy wants from you and the only way they can do it is if you give it willingly. Which birth the question is "what is that energy?" He asked, the glint in his eyes warning to run away from him but I stayed. I sat and listened to him as he rambled on some energy I possessed and why I must cultivate it.

"See," I cut in, dropping the fork and looking up at him. "My ears are hurting and I am tired of sitting here as you rambled on with some sort of energy which clearly I do not possess. Except you are wrong in the head, of course." I glared at him.

He didn't say anything for the next couple of seconds as he watched me keenly, a laugh rumbling from his chest. "Remember this when it comes. You know, I warned you. Did my part since you are such a good soul and you do not deserve what is coming for you or what is close to you." He leaned over.

I dumped the handkerchief, feeling uneasy about his words already. "Thank you for having me for lunch. I will make sure to extend your regards to Liam." I pushed the chair back and moved but the guards around stepped. I threw a look over my shoulder and with a snap of his fingers, they returned to their positions and I stomped out of the place.

I thought Nathaniel was worse, maybe Galen was worse. I did not bother going back to the location because I didn't want to pour out my anger on the innocent men working.

I went to a restaurant and had my lunch since Galen didn't help during lunch. After paying, I walked out, and the minute I entered my car, the passenger's door spilled open and Grayson settled in.

"What?" I snapped. I was on an edge. It was already enough that people played me with their words.

"I will say you should stay away from Nathaniel for a while." He said, looking pointedly at the sign of the restaurant.

"Oh, I don't need that now. I have taken heed even before you came. It is the only thing I want to do right now." I hissed, running my hand through my hair. "You seem worked up." He pointed out the obvious.

"Well, yes, that's why I need to get home to catch some sleep so if you would excuse me," I dipped the key into the keyhole and the engine revved to life.

"You do not understand what I meant. The night of the full moon this time was different on Nathaniel, Maurene. You need to-"

"Well, you are his beloved Beta and you know, Grayson, I am confused. Whose side are you on again?" I asked him, facing him fully.

This time, he twisted his neck to me. "I am loyal to my Alpha. He will come looking for you soon, make sure you are ready." He unlocked the door and I watched him disappear into thin air the way he came. I say rooted in my seat. Nathaniel was coming for me.

Why?
