Divorced Ex-Luna Returns With Triplets

Maurene'S POV

It all happened in a blink of an eye. A guard rushed in and instantly pulled Evangeline away from me. I gasped in shock as he broke into the large glass and hauled her out of the place in a blink of an eye. Yells and cries echoed in the entire restaurant. Someone dropped dead at the entrance and I flinched in shock. I sat rooted to my spot, unaware of what to do. Whether I should run or just...

"Send someone to take her!" Evangeline's voice cried from wherever she was being dragged to and all I felt was someone pick me up and carry me out of the place. I was in a state of shock, unable to think.

The person dropped me outside and sprinted away back into the restaurant. Right before, I watched men in black suits shoot at one another. The only difference is that what they were shooting were not bullets but silver. Silver... only werewolves possess these silver bullets and they used to kill wolves.

What are...

A crying woman ran into me and I fell back on my butt, scratching my knee in the process. I let out a strangled and painful hiss as I reached for my knee and my eyes widened when a silver bullet seemed to fall beside me. One of the men dropped to the floor with a thud and a scream broke out from me. I watched blood drip from his forehead down to the floor. I scrambled back as I cried, not wanting the blood to touch me.

His eyes were wide open and it seemed they were staring at me. A hand tugged at me and pulled me up. "Maurene!" I heard his voice before I lifted my head to meet his worried gaze.

"Nathaniel..."

"What are you doing out here?" He questioned, his eyes wide in worry and concern as he searched me for any sort of injury. "Are you fine?" He asked again.

I could not find it in me to answer. It felt like my tongue was tied. He let out a hiss. "Oh, fuck it! Maurene." He held my hands and pulled away from the fighting scene and helped me into his car before throwing orders at some men who seemed to rush into the place.

I did not know the outcome of the incident as Nathaniel drove me out of the place, sending glances at me as I sat in his car, not uttering a word. He got to his pack house and rushed to my place to help me out. He led me into the pack house and Amanda met us on the way.

"Nathaniel, I... What?" She clamped her mouth shut when she saw me. "You cannot bring her into the pack house. She..."

"Shut the fuck up, Amanda and move away out of my way!" He hissed as he pushed her out of the way. We got to the living room and he yelled for a maid to bring me a cup of water while he went in then came back not long after with a first aid box.

My eyes hovered over the concern etched on his face as he crouched down before me, pulling open the box. I watched him roll up his sleeves and his accentuated forearms flexed as he picked out the cotton wool. He began to dress the little scratch I had from the street. I winced as the ointment he added dripped down my leg and he quickly rubbed it off with a wool. Nathaniel was good with treating, considering he wanted to be a doctor once but his father was against it and he settled on the Alpha and continued the legacy of his father.

After he was done, he gripped my leg and stared at me through his lashes and I met his gaze. I didn't know what he saw but he pulled away from me and rose to his feet.

"How are you feeling now?" He asked, putting back the things into the box.

I let out a sigh. "I..."

He turned to me, his jaw flexing as he put his hands into his pockets. "I will call Liam to tell him that you are here." He informed me.

I blinked up at him. "Yes... yes. Thank you." I managed to mutter.

He left with the first aid box and the maid brought me some fruits. Moments later, I could hear Amanda's familiar yell and suddenly a growl that carried Nathaniel 's authority followed, everywhere in the pack house quieted, and I paused mid air, the apple just before my mouth.

The door opened and I looked up instantly, bracing myself in defense but when I saw Grayson's figure, I relaxed but soon became tense when I noticed the apprehensive expression on his face. He halted to a stop when he saw me, glancing around the living room before returning his gaze to me.

"You..." He trailed off as Amandastomped into the living room, pausing for a second to send me a glare before running up the stairs and leaving me with Grayson who appeared to be conflicted. He said nothing as he walked away and went in the direction of Nathaniel's office.

What was happening?

The door opened again and this time, announcing Liam's presence. I rose to my feet as if on cue and he rushed toward me, instantly reaching for me and turning me around.

"Maurene," He sighed as he pulled me into a hug, sniffing my hair as he held me close to his chest. "gods! I was scared!" He whispered as I pulled away from him and looked into his eyes.

"Liam, I'm sorry. I should have-"

"No, you don't need to apologize. I should not have let you go on your own. I'm sorry, Maurene." He pulled me into another hug and I was confused for a moment.

Why was he apologizing like he was the one who put me in danger?

Footsteps echoed closer to the living room and I watched Nathaniel and Grayson appear behind Liam. I caught the flash in Nathaniel 's eyes before it disappeared and he schooled his face into indifference.

Liam turned around. "Thank you so much, Alpha Nathaniel ." He said, a bite in his tone as his eyes glinted with something I could not recognize.noveldrama

Nathaniel nodded, his face passive as well. "It's nothing. It happened on my territory. I have to make sure everyone is safe. She was in quite a shock that she didn't speak for a while but seeing you here must have helped her get rid of it." His lips twitched in a smile before he faced Grayson, barely glancing at me.

"It is getting dark already. Get the reports taken and make sure the people injured are treated." He told him and Grayson nodded before leaving.

"Would you love to eat dinner?" Nathaniel asked, his eyes glancing between Liam and me.

"No," Came Liam's sharp response, and I squeezed his palm. "No, I mean. Maurene Has to rest in order for her to recover quickly. Again, thank you so much. We will take our leave now." He didn't wait for me to say anything as he pulled me out of the pack house. I could not see the expression on Nathaniel 's face as the door slammed shut.

Liam carefully tucked me into my seat and I breathed out, inhaling his cologne and feeling safe again.

As Liam found his way back to his seat, I lifted my head up and stared at the window through the windscreen. There he was, watching us until we drove out of sight and out of reach.

But, wait, who attacked me? Or was the attack intended for me?
