CHAPTER SEVENTY-THREE: Betrayed Trust

Maurene’S POV

I sat in my room, mute as a dead person and staring at nothing in particular. I was hurt by the person I trusted the most. He has been pretty evasive since the start whenever I asked about his family. No wonder he wanted to live differently. If he wanted to stay with us, he would have insisted but no, he stayed away. I should have known. I should have suspected. I did suspect but he did his work by making me forget it. That trip to Atlanta was a lie too. Everything he did for us, was all a lie. How do I tell my kids that their favorite uncle has been lying to us all this while?

I saw the way he smiled when I had just given birth to the triplets. He stared at them like they were his own. The nurses were even gushing at how lucky the kids were to have a father like him. At that point, I had wished that he was their father and Nathaniel wasn't. I harbored a deep hatred for him since he sent me out that night.

    CHAPTER SEVENTY-FOUR: The Site Owner Amanda’S POV I didn't know how I was going to tell Nathaniel about meeting Bille. I knew he would find it suspicious. He knew the things I could do. The things I did in the past but was not proud of. The things he helped me with at the expense of his marriage to Maurene. I have been in my room all day constantly checking my phone for Bille’s message. He had told me that he would be the one to contact me but it was taking way too long and I was starting to believe that he lied to me. Was that possible? Unless he did that, there was no way I would be continuing this relationship charade with Martin. Talking about Martin, he has been quiet these days. Not disturbing me with messages that didn't matter. I guess he must attend to his business too. Just as I rolled to the other side of the bed, my phone beeped with a message alert and I turned back at the speed of light, rushing to pick it up from the light stand. Running my pin through, th

    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 fee

    CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIX: The Father Of His Kids Maurene’S POV Minutes later, Grayson still didn't call me back which got me more worried than I was before. Jas he met his father hey? I was currently caught in the traffic, of all the times I should be. The pounding of my heartbeat against my ears drums increased every second. I checked my phone for the umpteenth time and didn't feel relieved at all. Has he seen him already? Was Grayson faster? Several thoughts roamed my head as I tapped my index finger against the steering wheel. I closed my eyes briefly, imagining how Heit would be feeling now. It was either he was feeling scared because he was all alone or he was feeling happy that he finally met his father. Either way, I was worried that Grayson might not have been able to get to him faster. Come what may, I must protect my son. Finally, the traffic was resolved. I increased the speed of my car as I drove for Nathaniel’s pack. They could arrest me for that crime l

    Chapter Seventy-Seven: Betrayal From His Beta Nathaniel’S POV I slowly lifted my head to see the person who had spoken. My eyes fell on Grayson who gulped hard as he looked at me with clear eyes. “W-What? What did you just say?” I asked him, blinking as I turned my attention away from Maurene to him. I sniffed. I could not stop the tears from forming in my eyes. I could not decipher the reason. Whether it was from meeting Maurene again and this time she was not pretending or the fact that I had kids and she hid them from me. But one thing was sure, I was pained that I had sent her out that night. It was callous of me to do that. “I said I knew. I knew about the kids even before she left.” He replied, his jaw hardening. Shock mixed with betrayal as I stumbled back at his admittal. “You…” “You have not been exactly good to Maurene in the past and there was no way I would have told you about it.” He claimed, taking steps closer to us. My eyes narrowed furt

    Chapter Seventy-Eight: Custody Of The Kids Maurene’S POV I sat in the corner, staring into space as several thoughts twirled in my mind. How could he? How could he demand for the kids when he was the one who divorced me?! How broken and surrendered he looked made my heart break and I had no choice but to take Heit with me. Tears dripped down my face as I threw my head back, pulling my lips together. Heit has been avoiding me since we left his father's pack. I knew it had always been his dream to finally meet his father and when he did, he didn't even get to spend more time with him. Kyle and Kylie already knew about what their brother did and silence seemed to be the order of the day since then. He refused to eat and speak to anyone. He wanted his father and I was scared that it was the only thing I hesitated to give him. Nathaniel would take them away from me and they were all I had. All I lived for. The reason I kept pushing each day. Despite the betrayal from L

    Chapter Seventy- Nine: Unraveling The Site Owner Amanda’S POV I don't like Martin. Not once have I ever felt like I liked him. He just irked me to the core and the fact that I have to dress up to meet his father, Frey Taylor, today makes me want to puke. I stared at the emerald green dress I had picked. I didn't expect myself to dress like a responsible girlfriend who wants to be accepted by her in-laws. What Bille Gates made me do. Never! I will never be their daughter in law! It could only happen his dreams or nightmares if he has one. I let out an annoyed hiss as I dropped the gown, feeling unmotivated to even go to the freaking dinner. I should have just refused but the fear of his father would be quite humbling so I picked up the gown and got into it, not feeling it but wearing it nevertheless. I don't think I would be able to hide my irritation tonight but let us see how far they can push me. After applying a minimal make up, I got into the black heels and picked th

    Chapter Eighty: The Aftermath Amanda’S POV I sat quietly and still inside the car. I looked at Martins from the corner of my eye and the way his veins showed on his hands hinted that he was not just angry but had every thought to punish me tonight. I couldn't stop the scoff that escaped from me. He cut a glare at me and I looked away. I let his father’s parting words replay in my head again. I don't like you but you are good for my son. I approve and make sure you don't ruin my reputation. Understood? I rolled my eyes. I won't be ruining it because the relationship will be ending soon enough. The car screeched to a halt and I looked around, finding the surroundings unfamiliar. “Where are we, Martin? This is not the place I would be stopping.” I said, turning to him but the man stepped out of the car. I watched him as he came over to my side and opened the door. Was he planning on dropping me here? No way would he do that to me! “Martin!” “Come out, Amanda!” He

    Chapter Eighty-One: The Full Moon Revelation Nathaniel’S POV One week, three days, and seventeen hours. I have not taken my bath nor have I stepped out of my office. Burying myself deep in the workload before me is the only thing in my head. I have been putting two and two together and trying to figure out who was behind the attack on the Luna Queen. I had already made a mental note to visit the Alpha King but the fact that I have been unable to bring myself to forgive myself was weighing me down. For the past few days, I have been blaming myself for losing Maurene. To the truth, I was the one who sent her out and made her homeless. Even if I had not been aware of the kids, I should not have sent her out under that kind of heavy rain. That night, I was blinded by the rage and all I wanted was that she should leave. I just didn't expect her to leave like that and now I was being punished for it. For years, I looked forward to having my own kids. I was already growing beyond

    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

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.
