Chapter One Hundred and Six: The Luna Queen Is Kidnapped Maurene'S PO V Fatigue crashed into my body as I woke up, glancing at the time. Once again, I had spent the night at the hospital with Evangeline. She was getting weak as the days went by. Alex was barely responding to treatment. I pitied her. She couldn't stay with him because she had to go back to their house in case anyone came looking for him. She didn't want to draw too much attention. I doubt the guards surrounding their house knew that the Alpha King was not even inside. I have been so busy taking care of her that I barely paid attention to the kids. Diana has informed me that Liam came by, demanding to meet me. I was once again reminded that I had been ignoring his calls and messages. I just didn't trust him anymore. He kept lying and lying to me. He knew the reason we went back to Nathaniel's pack yet he led me back. He knew Alex wanted to cheat Nathaniel yet he took me back there. Then he came to me and told me
Chapter One hundred and Seven: A Call For Help Nathaniel'S POV The enemy had struck. Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! I was definitely not expecting it to be now. In fact, never! I didn't know how I did it. How I got to Maurene and picked up her. I vaguely remember sending orders at Grayson to have her car brought to the pack house while I led her back to her house. They packed everything they would be using. There was no way I would leave my kids unprotected with an enemy taht was not identified yet. I knew I had to bring them back to my pack. "Mommy, we are going with daddy back to his house, huh?" Kylie asked her mother who was still in shock. "Yes, you are." I answered when she didn't. I couldn't let the kids know that was something that was bothering their mother and me as well. I needed to keep them safe and I was going to do just that. We soon arrived at the pack house and Grayson was already waiting for me. When he saw the people I had come with, something like relief dawn
Chapter One Hundred And Eight: More Threats To Amanda Amanda'S POV I have been walking on egg shells since I returned to the pack house. I could not do anything without thinking I was being watched. Either by the people after me or Nathaniel himself. Something in my guts was telling that he didn't believe me yet I didn't want to think like that. I lied so well. He would not be able to detect it even if he tried to. And as for Martins, I have been avoiding him. I didn't even bother to check if he was okay or not. I just ignored him which was not good. I know. He would have figured out that I already knew by now. He should. He knew he was dangerous but after what I saw, he was danger himself. Maybe I should tell Nathaniel what I knew. No, I cannot do that. He would find out that everything I did was a sham. I cannot be embarrassed like that. I didn't want to see the look of disappointment on his face like I did the first time we had announced our relationship. I didn't want to
Chapter One Hundred And Nine: A Call To See Her Maurene'S POV Moving into Nathaniel’s pack house was something I knew I could not refuse. With what happened with Evangeline, I was scared for my safety. It was as if they were either trailing me or Evangeline. This was becoming worse day by day and it was scaring me. What if they had chosen to take me with them? What would have happened to my kids and to Diana? Gosh, I didn't want to think of the worst possible ways they could have touched me. It has been one week of poorly trying to reach Eva’s line again. It kept ringing and she didn't pick up. Where could they have taken her to? I wondered. I tried to think of the person that could behind this but no one came to mind. I blamed her. She was never forthcoming with me. Always hiding things from me all because of her husband. Now see who needs saving? I shook my head. I had tried to convince Nathaniel that I could work with them on the case but he refused, saying it was u
Chapter One Hundred And Ten: The Alpha King Is Unstable Nathaniel’S POV I knew Maurene won’t sit right. After I told her to tell us about what happened and she saw thewolf tattoo. She wanted to know more but I was not willing to risk her knowing at all. It was better when she didn't know anything. That way, she would not be scared or threatened. But Evangeline was her friend and the Maurene I knew would not give up on her. I wanted to check on the kids when I had seen her sneak out of her room and I had wondered where she was. I was even ashamed that I thought she was working with the enemy but imagine my shock when I saw her hop on a cab and go to a place that she didn't know. I followed her closely, feeling the need to see where she was headed to. She was foolish but at the same time, it was what attracted her to me. She was always intentional about the people she kept close and I didn't expect her not to think like that toward Evangeline. “Please, please save Evang
Chapter One Hundred And Eleven: Where Is The Luna Queen? Nathaniel’S POV I walked into the meeting hall, feeling a little bit dizzy from the lack of sleep these days. Grayson had informed me late that the Alphas were hosting a meeting and I was starting to think about what they wanted to discuss. The two weeks the Alphas had given Evangeline were closing today and we still have not figured out a way to save her. Honestly, I didn't want to accept the gnawing truth. What if… what if we are unable to save her? Then Alex will die sooner which means that Alpha Blaire will likely make it to the throne. What if it does not go that way? What if the one behind the kidnap of Evangeline wanted the throne? Then nothing was going to go as they planned. As usual, the chattering of the egoistic Alphas filled the entire place and I stepped into the room, they all quietened, turning their gazes to me as I walked further to the only empty seat I could find at the back. Of course, I was not
Chapter One Hundred And Twelve: Who is James Cox? Amanda'S POV I knew that if Maurene returned to Nathaniel's life, I would no longer have access to Nathaniel. Nowadays, it was as if I was invisible and no longer existed in his story anymore. It was disheartening but I had to take matters into my own hands if he was not going to help. James has refused to meet me. I didn't know why. Then, he was after me, looking for ways to take the money I had stolen from him. I was even surprised that he had not taken the matter to the press. Maybe he didn't want to reveal himself. Sometimes, I wondered who he was exactly. Why has he offered to help me when he knew that I was going to steal from him after all? Martins has been sending me messages to check on me but I have not been responding. Not because I didn't want to but because I was so bothered to. I knew he must have realized that the person who had attacked that night had come for me and he had his question. Maybe he
Chapter One Hundred And Thirteen: Investigation 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.
Chapter 121 Chapter One Hundred And Twenty-One: A Union Amanda’S POV I knew Martins was dangerous. I knew he could not be trusted and I decided to get into contract with him. What I didn't expect was that he would be the one who secretly tormented me and acted like… the savior. I still couldn't believe what Grayson had told me. At this point, I didn't care about what his father did or him… he should kill me. That was the worst he could do, right? I alighted from the car and went into his mansion straight up. Pushing the door open, as expected they were in the living room. They both rose to their feet on seeing me, confused as to the reason I was there. “Amanda, what are you—” I went toward the real Martins and James Cox who happened to be named Maxwell. “Martins. Huh? You are Martins? You are James Cox as well! Isn't it? You lied to me, right? Used me? Right? You wanted to slowly torment me till I went crazy, huh?” I pushed him hard, noticing the look of surprise that
Chapter 120 Chapter One Hundred And Twenty: The Beginning Of The End Nathaniel’S POV She raised her head to me, her red-rimmed eyes glancing down at my lips as she slowly pulled herself up to me. I had somehow gotten her back to one of my penthouses because I didn't want the kids to see their mother in such a broken state. She began to take her clothes off one by one, and my throat bobbed. “Are you sure about this?” I asked, wanting to keep my conscience clear in case she woke up tomorrow and realized her mistakes. She slowly nodded, stepped out of the skirt, and touched my arm. Gosh, I have missed her. I missed her so much. She leaned closer and let me capture her lips in a kiss. It started off slow and sensual but soon proceeded into ravenous. My hands snuck around her waist, and pulled her closer, smashing her tight to my chest. I wanted to feel her. Feel her skin. Be in her skin. I angled my head properly in order to take her lips, and taste her. Every time I saw
Chapter One Hundred And Nineteen: Revenge With Death Maurene’S POV Just like Nathaniel had said, Liam was the person behind everything. He had kidnapped my son… someone he once cared for. I didn't recognize who this woman was but all I knew was that with the visible fear on Liam’s face, she was someone important. “And why are you here?” He questioned her, obviously rattled by her presence. The woman snickered, stepping before Nathaniel. “You think you can rule the wolves? That is just a dream in your silly head. Just like your mother thought she would become the queen of wolves! You are nothing but a result of a stupid dream she had.” She hissed through her crooked teeth as she glared down in disgust at him. Oh, she must be from his mother’s side. “My mother was too weak to win but I will win and you just have to watch it then. I will make sure to bring tribute to you when I sit on the throne,” He smiled menacingly at her. The woman didn't waver. “Liam, give m

Chapter One Hundred And Seventeen: Kai Goes Missing Maurene’S POV I closed my eyes tight, still riling from the hurt of his words. I didn't think Liam could be that awful. In fact, I had my few suspicions that he could be doing something worse but what I didn't suspect was that he was doing pure evil. The fact that I had also remained oblivious to it made me want to go crazy. I didn't need anyone telling me that Liam had used me. It was glaring and I would be in denial if I didn't want to believe it. Now he told me that he wanted to meet me and explain the kind of person Evangeline was. All of them… they all wanted to use me against Nathaniel. They wanted his pack and they were not able to get it. I had decided to let go of the past and focus on the present with Evangeline, what I didn't expect was that Nathaniel would change toward me. The kiss from last night was still real but the sting of his words speared through my heart. The fact that he told me that
Chapter One Hundred And Sixteen: Blaire is chosen as the Alpha King Nathaniel’S POV “We will help you to the throne if you allow us, Nathaniel.” Seth said, his thick voice cutting through as we all sat in the office. I stared at him blankly, wondering how everything was so intertwined. “The throne? Who said I wanted the throne? Your nephew?” I arched my brows as I relaxed back in my seat. I didn't let my roam to the feminine figure sitting just beside Grayson who gave me a pained look. I have been doing a great of ignoring them which worked quite well. “You don't?” Seth sounded that he could not believe it. I shook my head. “I don't.” “Then you don't know anything then.” He snorted. I wanted to ask him what that was about but I decided against it. “Since the Alpha King has gone missing and you have chosen not to divulge his whereabouts, it is only right that another Alpha King will be chosen. And that person should be you.” He said, glancing at his nephew. “I s
Chapter One Hundred And Fifteen: Blaire is chosen as the Alpha King Nathaniel’S POV “I want him to be your new Beta.” My father told me, introducing Grayson to me. I wondered why my father didn't let me choose on my own but I trusted his judgment. “Hi, I'm Nathaniel,” I said, extending my hands out to him. He took it. “Grayson.” Our gaze locked and I knew at that moment that we would be doing together from now on. I wanted to ask my father where he had seen him because I knew he was not from our pack but I decided against it since I could ask Grayson and he would answer. Except Grayson never made mention of who he was or where he was from. We never went in runs and he never showed his wolf. Or should I say, Lycan? I didn't know how to react or what to even say. Shock was an understatement of what I was feeling at present. I was starting to question everything around me. From my marriage to Maurene, to making Grayson my Beta, to my divorce, and to being the center
Chapter One Hundred And Fourteen: The Lycan Officials Nathaniel’s POV I drove straight for the Alpha Blaire’s pack. That was where they had told the Lycan officials to meet. I was beyond shocked when Grayson had told me. It made me think that they were trying to win the Lycans over to themselves but then I thought of the siblings I was accommodating at my pack. Did Grayson know about this? I didn't want to think that way. Grayson must have hidden it for a good reason but the fact that he could not trust me with that truth proved how much he thought of me. I had hurt his sister those years when I didn't accept her love for me. It was only right that he hated me. I shook my head, trying to keep a blank level until Grayson called again. “Yes?” I answered through the blue tooth. “The meeting has been canceled.” He said. Why did they— “They are meeting at our pack instead.” That threw me off Balance. I screeched to a halt on the road. What? “How?” That was all I could
Chapter One Hundred And Thirteen: Investigation 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.
