CHAPTER SIXTEEN: Meeting The Alphas

Nathaniel ’S POV

“We are meeting the alphas today,” Grayson informed me like I did not know and as if I was not dressing to attend the meeting.

I said nothing in response as I clicked the cuff-links into place, catching a glimpse of my reflection in the mirror.

“What is the report of the incident?” I asked him. I smoothened the edges of my suit, locking the button into place.

Grayson let out a sigh. “The men who attacked are still unknown but there was no sign of rogues either. It was as if they had come to the place to fight against one another. I don't know.” He tried to explain.

“What of the dead bodies? Any clue found on them?” I asked and he shook his head.

“They were clean, which is the most fishy part of the entire issue.” He replied.

I was busy trying to sort out some pack issues and decide to see if I could meet with a business partner when all of a sudden, I got a call from someone, informing me about what was going on in

    CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: Coming Alone Maurene’S POV I have not quite recovered from the shock of the incident. The dead body falling next to me was still very much vivid in my head and it sometimes made me jump in fear. I could not help but think back to what could have happened if Evangeline hadn't asked someone to help me out of the place. I would have been… That reminds me. Where was Evangeline taken to? We have not contacted each other since that day and I did not even try to call her as well. My bad. I cleaned my hands with the apron before reaching forward to pick my phone. I dialed her number. It rang for a few seconds before the network provider’s voice came through saying her number was unreachable. My brows creased in slight confusion. Was she fine? I dialed it a second time and thankfully, she picked it up. “Hey, Maurene!” Her cheerful voice came through and I removed the phone from my ears to check who I had called again. How could she be this cheerful even aft

    CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: Meeting Him Maurene’S POV I instantly dialed Liam’s number, anxiety seeping through my skin in my veins. How could he… There was no way I would go back to that pack without someone coming with me. Nathaniel took me to the place that day because he had to, not because we were going to discuss business, alone. Fear filled me as he might finally find out I was lying to him and I was the real Maurene. I did not want to regard the way he still affected me and I was still filled with the fear that he would do something to me. Something I might regret. The call disconnected automatically and I dialed his number again and this time, it did not ring. I bit my lower lip anxiously as I began to pace to and fro. What can I do? This was not my best friend sending me to meet a business partner. This was my boss telling me to meet a business partner to finalize a deal and I have to do as I am told because he pays me well. Even more than enough. Gosh

    CHAPTER NINETEEN: Apology To His Wife Maurene’S POV I hid the way his voice affected me. I suddenly felt exposed with both of them here without Liam being here to shield me from them. My knees were weak as Nathaniel approached us and dropped his head in a small bow, shocking me to the core. He bowed to me. What exactly was Nathaniel driving at? Saving me that day… I was even yet to thank him. “Thank you,” I mumbled softly and his eyes narrowed briefly. “For saving me the other day. I could not appreciate you properly.” I tried to explain. A faint smile tilted on his lips. “It is nothing, Miss Maurene. It is my duty as the Alpha. Anyway, I hope Grayson here has explained to you everything you need to know. You can ask questions as well.” He glanced at Grayson who said nothing but returned his stare blankly. They were probably communicating through the mind link. “Should we still—” He was cut off by a raindrop on his forehead. I watched it drip down to his nose

    CHAPTER TWENTY: Busy Nowadays Nathaniel ’S POV Amanda stepped into my office, her brows arched as she dropped a bow. I was still her Alpha and she will respect me as such. “How many times do I have to warn you not to harass Maurene?” I growled, my tone low and dangerous as I looked at her. “Nathaniel ,” She cried. “She… she is her. I saw it in her eyes. In the way she looked at me. The hatred. She is the one, Nathaniel and she is back to take you away from me! I will not allow it!” She moved forward but I raised my hand up to shun her. “Stop it. I want to believe that she is not the one. My Maurene will always recognize me. Whether she is the one or not, that—” My jaw hardened. “That is none of your business. Let me warn you for the last time, Amanda. Stop interfering in my business. Just because I let you return to the pack does not mean you will go around harassing people.” She gave me an incredulous look before letting out a snort. “Nathaniel ?

    CHAPTER TWENTY ONE: Amanda's Wrath Amanda'S POV My face was stoic as I stepped into the night club, anger swirling inside of me as I took a seat before the counter. The server moved toward me. "What do you want, sexy lady?" His eyes roamed my body and I glared daggers at him. "If you don't want to lose your job, you had better give me a shot and mind your business." I sneered at him. His lips lifted with a smirk as his eyes glinted. "Spitfire it is." He mixed everything before finally pouring it into a cup and pushing it toward me. "If you need a man for the night, you can call me." He winked before turning to other customers. I let out a loud hiss, downing the content in seconds. "Amanda!" A feminine shriek came from behind me and I rolled my eyes at their attempt to familiarize themselves with me. “Hey bit*ches,” I feigned a smirk as they sat close to me. “What are you doing here?” One of them chewed gum noisily as she glanced back at th

    CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO: A Bad Client Maurene ’S POV Liam has been avoiding me. The message he just sent to me confirmed that thought. Since the night that I asked him about what business he had been doing, he totally evaded it which I honestly let him because I did not want to bug him with so many questions. We were not in a relationship, and yes, we have a contract binding us. We were not in a really marriage so I did not expect him to be accountable to me but he was my best friend so I knew he would tell me when he wanted to. And there were boundaries also in our friendship. I would not cross them. I respected him to that extent. He wanted me to meet with a client to discuss issues with a contract they sent. Apparently, you cannot rip Liam off, he would find out. Sometimes, I wondered how he did it and was able to find loopholes in their contract. A sigh escaped my nostrils as I clipped the belt into place around my waist. He has been sending me on errands like these and I did

    CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE: Get Her A Dress Maurene ’S POV “Stop it, Liam. I'm being for real this time.” I cautioned him with a direct glare, my hands around my waist. He continued laughing before slowly stopping, coughing slightly. “What do you mean?” He asked, his eyes glinting with something I could not decipher. “Are you jealous?” His brows arched playfully. I let out a gasp, looking away from him sharply as I clashed with the gaze of the lady before slowly dragging my gaze back to Liam. “Honestly. She looks quite good to me. She is your type.” I noted. He wiggled his finger right in front of my face, shaking his head. “No. Not at all. Stop that.” He said. “Stop what? Liam, try to find love. You have been single for too long.” I scoffed. He rolled his eyes and in a blink of an eye, he reached out to me and pulled me into him, my body flushed against his. “Liam,” I tried to wiggle out of his grip but his grasp tightened further. “Have you forgotten that you are my wif

    CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR: Visiting A Friend Maurene ’S POV I was going to visit Evangeline today. She has been bugging me for days now and I kept postponing the day I would do to visit her. Honestly, my reluctance came from not knowing her closely and secondly, the fact that I never visit people in the homes. We could meet at the cafe or restaurant. That was it. She has been pleading with me that she was bored and her husband was not letting her out of the house. I was almost tempted to advise her against her husband but I understood from his standpoint. His wife was almost killed. It was worth locking her in. Again, I wondered who her husband was. Was he a billionaire that had many enemies? That was the only possible thought for me right now. I began to imagine the kind of house she would be living in. Was it a mansion? Do I have to dress up to meet the standards or dress minimal since I was meeting a friend? Gosh, these are the reasons I don't leave my house. The thought of p

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

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. 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.
