CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR: Shocked As Hell

MAURENE’S POV

I must have heard wrong. Liam did what?

I stood rooted to the spot in full shock. When did he leave? He left without telling me?

“Maurene, you can consider taking a cab but the weather forecast today is that there will be heavy rainfall tonight. So it is either you enter now, or you let me leave.” Grayson made an annoyed noise deep in his throat as I figured out what to do next. I should give Liam a benefit of doubt. He could still be inside.

Right?

“You should go.” I told Grayson who for the first time appeared to be taken aback by my response.

“W-What?” He stuttered, making me blink.

“I trust Liam. There was no way he would leave me behind. He cannot.” The look etched Grayson’s face said it all. Maybe I was just trying to console myself that Liam could do something like that to me. Even if we had an argument with each other. He could still wait for me since he brought me here.

“Have you gotten dumber?” Grayson asked before he could

    CHAPTER THIRTY- FIVE: Keep Fighting Maurene’S POV I woke up the next morning with a bad headache. I winced slightly as the pain sunk deeper into my head. I reached for the drawer close to my bed and pulled it open. Taking a tablet of paracetamol, I took two then gulped it down with water. I rested for a while before scrambling down the bed. I dragged my feet out of the room and went downstairs to meet Diana serving the kids breakfast. Their birthday was tomorrow. My phone reminder had reminded me yesterday. An happy smile took over my lips as they looked up to me with bubbly expressions on their faces. They made me remember Evangeline. I had not even called or chatted her up yet since she went missing with her husband. I stopped before the kids, grinning. “A good morning to you, guys!” They all beamed a smile. “Good morning, mommy!” Kylie and Kyle chorused as they chewed on the bread while Kai focused on his meal. He was always in a mood a day before his

    CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX: My Daddy Is Alive Maurene’S POV Liam didn't reply to me. He rushed away from me like a coward and his actions only confirmed to me that he was hiding something. I could not place it but I knew that he didn't just leave the party because he thought I had gone. How could he even think like that? Anyway, I was seated with my laptop. I needed to finish up a lot and yet the only thing I could think of was what Liam was probably doing. I shook my head, blew a breath out, and typed Loretta’s name on the internet. I began to surf. She was a top selling fashion designer. Narrowing my eyes on her picture, it showed she has been divorced for over five years now and has no child. Wow. No wonder Liam didn't take her for real. It still doesn't matter. Being divorced did not mean the end of the world, did it? I went through her business page and saw the dress she had made for me. I did not even see the price tag. Clicking the link to her site, there were so many lim

    CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN: Birthday Surprise Maurene’S POV Today was my kids’ birthday. As usual, they woke up so bubbly. Diana and I had done a great job of decorating the house with balloons and plasters of their pictures from when they were infants till now. The way my heart swelled at the joyful grins on their lips made me grin too. I was always satisfied when I see them happy. This was yet another day to remind me that I didn't get to tell Nathaniel about them before he chased me out of the pack house that day. Maybe it was good. Who knows? “Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you!” Diana and I chorused as the three of them stepped into the living room, rubbing the sleep off their faces. Their lips split into grins as I crouched to their level. “Happy Birthday to you, my babies!” I pulled them into a hug and I heard Kai groan before relaxing into my arms. We pulled apart and Diana greeted them as well. They looked around the place, obviously not r

    CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT: Refusing The Birthday Gift Maurene’S POV Pearl beads. Kai had once said he wanted something like that. I thought he was just saying it casually. Pearl beads were expensive, especially this one. It is the one of its sort and I did not need to be told this would be worth millions. Tony can never buy the minimum. He always would buy luxurious things. Kai stared at the gift in my hand like he had been expecting it. Actually, Liam had jokingly said he would get it for him when he saw it. I thought he was bluffing. I did moy know he still had it in mind to get it for him. “No, I don't think you should gift him this.” I disagreed completely. He rose to his feet, his figure towering over me as he arched his brows. “Maurene?” I looked up to him, shaking my head. “This… This is too expensive for a young boy. I don't want them wearing things that would attract rubbish.” I told him. He glanced at the kids before taking me by the hand and leading me out. He clo

    CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE: A Call To Leave Maurene’S POV I let him fix it and walked away to assist Diana with adding the drinks on the table. The kids gathered around the table and I chuckled, shocked that I actually did with everything that was happening. It has been quite a long time since I was overwhelmed with emotions like this. I was just happy that my kids were celebrating their fifth year birthday. It has been five years. Five years since their father sent me out of his house and I had to survive on my own. They placed their hands on the knife and Diana reached to light up the candle on the cake. There were just three candles that were placed at a good distance between them. I figured my kids would have different wishes. Like Kylie, she might wish for a unicorn while Kyle could wish for a new car then Kai, I knew it would definitely be his father to come back. I smiled at the triplets and said, "Now, it's time to make a wish and blow out the candles. One, two, three, blow!" T

    CHAPTER FORTY: The Headlines Maurene’S POV I dimmed my eyes, remembering what Kai had said last night. I had gone to him to ask him if he wanted the gift Liam gave him and I didn't expect the response he gave me at all. What was I doing that my kids didn't even recognize me as their mother? I swallowed the hard lump in my throat as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. He got it for me so I should keep it. I even went further to ask if he really wanted his father, he nodded in response. I knew it would be hard trying to tell him that he could not have his father. I had never told them anything about their father. They never asked and I was okay with it until Kai began to ask me about him. I didn't like refusing my kids when they asked for things but still, not his father. That I cannot give him. I wish I could just tell him like that but it was not as easy as it sounded. It would be like I wanted to break his heart. Maybe I should have painted the picture of their fat

    CHAPTER FORTY-ONE: A Birthday To Remember Maurene’S POV It has been six days since the rumors were spread and today was my birthday. I did not even feel the air. I did not care. What had happened discouraged me. I could not even think of what to do today at all. All I just wanted is that everything that was posted about me was deleted and never to be spoken about. Liam didn't even try to call me to even know how we would deal with them. He didn’t even care to wish me on my birthday. I was really pained at how he just left me like that. He was mad. I was mad. My entire image was in jeopardy here and yet he didn't offer to help me. He was my best friend and he was not behaving like one. Nathaniel had reached out through Grayson but I had refused their help. They have done the barest minimum they could do by bringing down the blogs and post but it had already gone viral. Everyone now sees me as the lady caught between two men. Two men that were sorted after by women, whether you

    CHAPTER FORTY TWO: More Surprises Maurene’S POV Liam finally explained everything to me. The hidden work he needed to sort out and why he always had to leave with a call. He was doing everything to make sure the car was imported into the country and that nothing went wrong. There were times when he was called and he had to sort out some papers. I finally understood him. Somehow I knew Liam wouldn’t do something that would hurt me. All these while he has had me in his mind and he wanted to do something that would make me happy. “Do you like it?” His voice brought me back into reality and I blinked up at him from the shiny Lamborghini that was parked right before me. He had gotten this for me. It was too shiny and flashy but still, he got it for me. My head bobbed on its own accord as I was mesmerized by the black beauty radiating before me. I had always had it in plans to get myself a car but expenses keep swallowing the money. Liam getting me a car had helped me to cut costs

    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

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.
