Divorced Ex-Luna Returns With Triplets
CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVE: Finding His Father

Nathaniel'S POV

"Alpha, you have-"

"You know how much I hate being interrupted, Hunter." I cut him off as I gave him a reprimanding look.

He dropped his head in a bow. "I'm sorry, Alpha but you have a visitor." He explained. My brows scrunched up in confusion.

Visitor?

"Are you sure the person came for me? Maybe you should ask Grayson. I don't remember setting up an appointment with anyone." I dismissed with a wave. When he didn't move, I sighed. "Did you ask for the person's name?" I asked, tilting my head to the side as I went through my schedule for the day and didn't see any appointment scheduled to meet someone.

"I didn't."

"Are you sure the person is here for me?" I asked once again, arching my left brow.

"Yes. I am. He told me that he would not leave if you didn't come." He said. I knew it would not be Liam because I specifically ordered that he was not allowed into the pack land. I rose to my feet, It was better if I were to see the person by myself even though I was tempted to order Hunter to send the person away. He stepped back for me to exit the office.

I nodded at the maids who greeted me as I walked to the living room. I stopped, glancing around, and didn't see anyone. I turned back at Hunter, giving him a questioning look. Did he come to disturb me when he knew how much work I had on me?

"And where is the person?" I asked him.

Just like that, I heard a child's voice. "Daddy?" He whispered. My ears perked up and I looked at the place he was standing, blinking up at me. Instantly Maurene's face flashed through my vision and I narrowed my eyes. Why do they look so much alike?

"Daddy?" He called again before he ran toward me and hugged my legs. I didn't know whether to move or push him away from me.

I looked at Hunter. Why did he bring a child who is lost to me?

"Alpha, that was what he said. He had said that he wanted to meet his father and he called your name. I could not refuse him so I..."

"You what?" I cut him off before pulling away from the young kid and crouching down to his level. I looked into his eyes and they mirrored mine. In a quick flash of memories, I saw the young me and I closed my eyes briefly. Why do I feel some sense of attachment to this kid? It is nothing. There was no way I would have kids that I didn't know of. Right?

"Young champ," I started, holding his shoulders. "You must be mistaken. I am actually not your father. Maybe we look alike. What about that?"

He shook his head. "No, you are my father. I heard it from my mommy."

"And what did you hear from your mother?" I asked him.

"That you are Nathaniel and the father of her kids." He replied and my hands slackened around his shoulder, I almost fell to the back.

That sounded familiar. Way too familiar. Why did I hear that in her voice? In Maurene's voice?

"And who is your mother?" My voice was not audible and dread coiled in my belly as I awaited his response. I didn't want to hear the answer he was going to give. My heart pounded against my chest erratically. I could feel the surge of adrenaline through my veins, goosebumps pricking my skin.

He bit his lower lip. "Don't tell her that I came here, okay?" His brows scrunched together and the action felt really familiar.

I nodded.

"Her name is Maurene." He answered and I froze. Maurene? Maurene? Maurene? She had kids for me?

She has kids for me and she hid them from me? Since all these years and the time that we met, she hid the fact that I was a father from me?

"Are you sure?" Hunter questioned him, more firmly and I glared at him at the tone he used. He gulped and stepped back.

If Maurene had kids for me and hid them from me, it would be only right if I didn't tell her about that he was here, isn't it?

Maurene'S POV

I must have heard wrong but the fact that I was inside my car, heading for Nathaniel's pack convinced me that I didn't. Kai had found his father's address and had gone. How??? Gosh! What I would do to that boy!

It could be possible that he had not reached there yet. Maybe I should call Grayson. Yes!

I picked up my phone, making sure to keep my focus on the road as I dialed his contact. He answered in no time and I cleared my throat.

"He went," I said immediately.

"Who went to where?" He asked, some shuffling coming from the background.

"Heit went to look for Nathaniel and he might have gotten there so please, go and see. It is possible that he has not met Nathaniel yet." I wanted to use that to console myself. "I will. How many hours has he been gone?"

"I don't know but I will get to the pack soon. And please, make sure he does not meet Nathaniel."

"You are asking way too much favor from me, Maurene. I have helped you to keep this secret for a long time. I told you to tell him about it but you didn't."

"Nathaniel is my best friend and it is already hard enough not letting him know that he had kids and you could not keep them away from him." He accused me. Typical Grayson.

"I know. It would not happen again. It's just that... you know what, please just hurry! Okay?" I disconnected the call, feeling a little relieved that Heit might not have met Nathaniel yet and Grayson was there to help me prevent their meeting from happening. God knows what I would do if Nathaniel ever found out that he has kids and I didn't tell him.

Would he take them away from me? Or even order that I do not return to his pack ever again?

I hit the steering wheel in frustration as it coursed through me. Why did Heit have to do this?
