Divorced Ex-Luna Returns With Triplets

Nathaniel'S POV

I was once again taken back to that day. The day I had lost my father. I had been away for a meeting then and when I returned, it was the news of my father's death that welcomed me.

I felt the emotions rush through me like that time. I could not describe it. They were too much. Too much that they rushed through my veins in a flash and I could not stop them.

Then my heart... my chest... my body began to convulse and I could not - My eyes splintered open and the first thing I saw was a pair of blue eyes like Maurene's.

"Daddy?" That voice. That voice that held me bound the moment I heard it. Never in my life have I ever thought that I will get to see someone that looked more like Maurene. She was just the exact resemblance of her mother.

I had been way too shocked than the last time I had seen Kai when I saw the three of them. The emotions had been too much for me to handle and Maurene was not helping matters because she continued to blame me for the fact that she still couldn't let go of the past. She didn't even see the past the reality that I was fighting for my life and kept rambling about her.

"Mommy," She left my side in search of her mother. They soon returned together, a concerned look etched Maurene's face. I tried to sit up and to my surprise, she rushed to me, holding me in place. She whispered something about not sitting up yet but I didn't say anything in response. I didn't need to.

I looked outside through the window. It was dark.

I passed out that long?

I didn't ask where I was because I knew judging by the interior design of the room, I was in Maurene's room.

"What happened?" I croaked out. She handed me a glass of water before answering.

"You had a relapse." She replied simply. I knew but didn't say anything and just bobbed my head. She probably doesn't want me here. I should leave.

I tried to scramble down the bed but she held me back. The struggle was visible on her face as she held me back.

"I should leave," I muttered, moving away from her hand's reach and getting to the edge of the bed.

"Huh? Mommy, tell Daddy that he cannot leave now." Her daughter urged, a plea in her big blue eyes. I didn't even know her name.

If Maurene was associating herself with me, it would be because of the kids. I have come to understand that based on the little interaction we have had with the kids around us.

"Erm, Nathaniel, you see, the doctor said that you have to rest for a while." She said, avoiding my gaze.

"I can rest in my house," I told her. If she wanted to have me rest in her house, she needed to understand that she was not going to be sulking about it.

I already acknowledged my part. She was just too scared to accept hers and I was not going to push it. The only reason I was here today was to see the kids because I knew she would do everything she could to take the kids away from me. "Daddy." The girl came to me, giving me a sad pout and batting her lashes.

I smiled. "Where did you learn that trick, huh, my sweet princess?" I asked her.

She blinked, blushing immediately that I had called her a princess.

"Stay." She urged me.

I shook my head. "I will visit you another day and maybe that time, I will not be shocked but today, daddy has work to do back at the pa- home." I pursed my lip into a thin line.

She wanted to insist but Maurene cut in, rising to her feet. "Dinner is ready. You should have dinner before you leave." She said, walking out of the room.

"What is your name, princess?"

"Kylie." She replied sweetly.

"Kylie? Okay." She led me to the dining room where they were already seated.

The woman who had opened the door earlier eyed me before taking her seat. I don't remember Maurene having a mother.

"Daddy," Heit called me and I glanced at him, giving me a small smile.

He seemed to be more excited than the rest. After all, he was the one who found me. I owe it to him. The bitter truth is that Maurene would still continue to pretend that my kids were not with her and I would never get to know that I had kids. "You should eat." She said again, sounding dry like she did earlier.

I served myself and ate in silence. After I was done, I got to know the kids' names, spending little time with them before walking out.

I got into my car, letting out a deep breath before igniting the car's engine. As I drove out of the garage, my eyes caught a shadow from the front mirror.

Someone was watching them?

Liam.

At least he would not hurt them. If he does, he would have to face my wrath.

I soon reached the pack house and made my way to the office. Grayson was there, waiting for me.

"Where have you been? I have been trying your phone number for hours and it was unreachable." He informed me.

I pulled my tie free. "Have the best of the pack guards stationed around Maurene's house and have them report back to me every day," I ordered him.

He narrowed his eyes immediately. "What? She wouldn't like that and you know it. See, Nathaniel, I know you are their father and-"

"She does not have to know and yes, she must not know. My kids are with her. She is not just their mother. I am their father as well and it is my responsibility to keep them safe." He closed his mouth immediately.

I was their father and Liam would not hurt them under my watch.
