Divorced Ex-Luna Returns With Triplets
Chapter Ninety: The Truth Behind The Attack

Nathaniel'S

POV

It has been a week since my encounter with Maurene and since then, I haven't been alright. I began to have dreams. Dreams where she and I are doing sexual things and each time, I wake up stained in my shorts. Maybe it was because it had been a long time since I got laid. I really need to let off some steam. Honestly.

The door to my office pushed open and Grayson stepped in, sending me a questioning look. If he could come in.

I nodded, closing the file I was working on. His nose scrunched as he let out a scoff. "You really need to get laid, Nathaniel. Your scent is heavy everywhere." He looked at me with disgust.

I closed my eyes briefly, I understood him. It was even more disgusting to him than to myself.

"I will see what I can do about that. Any news?" I asked.

He dropped two files before me, placing a flash drive beside them. "Found these. Andreas sent them to me the night you had gone to visit to Maurene. I was busy working on them to confirm it." My brows knotted closer. "Really?"

I went through it, my eyes narrowing. I picked up the flash drive and stuck it into the laptop. A video footage came into play.

A bus stopped far away from the restaurant, and another car appeared just beside it. One of the men stepped out of the bus and went to the car. The window slid down and he stuck his head inside. After nodding and saying something I couldn't make out from the video, the window slid up back, and the car zoomed away.

The other man went back to the bus and that was when the bus moved to the restaurant to attack.

"Where was this footage?" I asked him.

"It was taken a few hours before the attack on the Luna Queen. It appeared like the attack was really planned." He explained.

"Did you check the number plate of the car?"

"Yes, Andreas is currently working on it." He said.

I nodded, rewatching the video. Who were these men?

How could they have launched an attack on the Luna Queen? It was as if they knew she would be there. This could only mean... "What if the person behind this is actually related to the Alpha King? Or within the vicinity?" Grayson confirmed my train of thought. There was no one close to the Alpha King. He didn't keep such people which made it even strange for us to point out who it was. "Wait, isn't Liam related to the Alpha King?" I lifted my gaze to him immediately.

He was right. Liam was the only one who was closer to the Alpha King. And he was the prime suspect at this point.

"There are things I want you to look into, Grayson," I told him. He took his seat, listening attentively.

"I want to know the reason Liam came to my pack for the project. Did the Alpha King know about it? And yes, find out how many packs they have extended such offers of projects to as well. I want to know everything."

He gave me a curt nod, taking his leave almost immediately. There were lots of things involved in this and Alex is unwilling to cooperate. I think I would have to force his hand. I can't be here, trying to solve for an invisible force when he is the key to the answers.

I rose to my feet, picking up my car keys. It is either I see the Alpha King or I announce his death. I headed for his place, making my way through the guards. They had told me that he was not receiving any visitors but I didn't care. They knew better than to shoot me.

"Alpha Nathaniel, don't you think you are causing a breach of order?" His Luna Queen bit out at me the moment I stepped into the living room.

"I want to see the Alpha King. I would like to confirm something." I stated firmly.

"As you know, he is quite busy and he is unable to see anyone, Alpha Nathaniel, I remembered vividly that I had made that known to you the last time you came." She explained, inclining her head to the side.

I stepped closer to her, bringing my face near hers. "I will not be leaving here if I don't get to see the Alpha King, Luna Queen. There is something that I need his urgent response to and unless I meet him, I will not be leaving." I gritted out. She snorted. "And I will have the guards throw you out of here and not just that, I will order the instant removal of you from your Alpha position. Dare me, Alpha Nathaniel." She glared daggers at me.

"You will do what? Remove me? Luna Queen, it seems like you are forgetting that the only one who has the power to do that is the Alpha King, and by any way you now have the power to do that, it could only mean one thing which I would like that you tell me now, huh?"

Her eyes moved in their sockets as she looked away. "There is nothing else to tell you, Alpha Nathaniel. You should take your leave." She insisted.

"Luna Queen, you are hiding something and I will tell you that before things get out of hand, you should tell me." I tried to reason with her but the woman was just adamant.

"Like I said, there is nothing else to tell you. If there was, I would let you know." She barely glanced at me as she walked past me, leaving me in the living room.

Anger coursed through me, I punched the couch. I needed to find out where the Alpha King was and until then, there was nothing I could do.

I walked out of the house, heading directly for my car when I heard the noise from the entrance. I narrowed my eyes into slits, catching Liam's frame before the guards who had gathered around him.

It seemed like they didn't want him to enter. He was arguing with them but they stood their ground. The head soon stepped back, pointing his gun at him and I looked back at the balcony. Evangeline stood there, watching the scene and she didn't move to tell him to come inside.

She turned her look to me and we locked gaze. I didn't say anything as I entered my car, and zoomed away. Grayson's call came in not long after.

"Any feedback yet?" I asked him.

"Yes, there is a lot to see, Nathaniel." He told me.

My brows creased together. "What is that?"

"When you get back, but before that, you need to know that Maurene is not safe with Liam."

That was an established fact. Ever since I found out about the fake identity he used and she appeared not to be aware of it. I knew something was wrong somewhere. Whether he was using her or he was just interested in her. I didn't know. There were lots of things to reveal.

I disconnected the call, scrolling through my contact list. I saw her contact and wanted to click on it but the memory of what happened between us flashed through my vision and I decided against it.

I should do this on my own. She will not believe me anyway. I soon got to the pack house.

I made my way to the office where I knew Grayson would be and to my utmost surprise, Andreas was there as well.

"Alpha," They both greeted. I acknowledged them with a nod.

Taking my seat, I asked. "And where are they?"

Piles of files were pushed toward me and I glanced up at them. "This is everything we have managed to gather."

"It appears that the offers of the project didn't just start or stop at our pack. It also extended to the vampire king as well. Not only that, it was reported that the witch refused the offer." Andreas explained. "They did? Why?"

"Because Liam's mother was a rebellious witch who had made every sort of grave mistake to them." Grayson shrugged. "It took him great efforts to go and to our surprise, he didn't go with Maurene. And when he went, he brought enticing offers, thinking they would fall for it but they didn't."

"Find out where Liam was the day he met my wife- Maurene and yes, find out the origin of the Luna Queen, Evangeline."
