Divorced Ex-Luna Returns With Triplets

Nathaniel'S POV

For the past few months, I have been unable to find out who was behind the attack on the Luna Queen. Coupled with the meeting with Leila, I knew my time as the Alpha of this pack was closing and The Alpha King would make do with his promise. Even if I was the Alpha, the fact that I could be removed by the authority of the Royal King still stood which scared me to the core.

I let out a tired groan, rubbing my eyes at the files. Nothing seemed to be clicking together. After driving into a block the last time and then finding out that the restaurant belonged to an old man who mysteriously died, I was now caught with finding out who launched the attack on the Luna Queen.

It was as if there was no one whereas there was. The person just seemed to be invisible or maybe he was here and I was not looking at him?

There was something Alex was not telling me. Maybe he was afraid or he was trying to protect someone. Or he could be too weak to go against this person. Either way, I was the one suffering the brunt of these conspiracy theories. Couldn't they just keep their fight out of my territory for once?

I already have enough on my plate for me to deal with royalty issues. That was why I never looked forward to being the Alpha King. Even if I was given one, I would politely refuse it. Never!

Leila too wasn't saying anything. I had put Grayson to watch over and to my greatest surprise, they have been bonding. I kept forgetting each time to remind him why she was in the pack. I didn't run a charity house and wouldn't bring unknown people to my pack. If they were falling in love which I know was not possible, he had better kept his guard up every time.

To my shocking surprise, everything seemed to be linked and yet scattered. Whoever is behind this really worked so hard. I kept going through the files once after the other again like I hadn't done the same for the past few days.

It is just that something seemed to be amiss and it was killing me. I glared at the details in the files of the reported incident, trying to see if there was something that should stand out and there it was. A sign. Looking at it deeply, I turned to the computer and opened the file, zooming in on it. It was covered by the collar of the man's shirt.

It was the wolf tattoo that was on the neck of the men who had been killed in the incident. If I remember clearly, this man was lying before a frightened Maurene. I shook the memory of her scared face away because I needed to focus now. She should not be allowed in my train of thought right now.

I tried to remember how Leila had described the wolf tattoo she had seen that night but could not remember clearly. Maybe I needed her right now.

Rising to my feet, I exited the office. I went to her room and didn't see her. My brows scrunched up slightly and I reached for my phone in my pockets. Dialing Grayson's contact, he picked up almost immediately. "Where is Leila?"

"Leila? She is here. Training." He replied.

"Get her here. I need her to confirm something for me." I said before killing the call. Not long after, they both emerged inside the hall and I wasted no time in handing her the file.

"Does this look familiar to you?" I asked, arching a brow.

Her eyes narrowed on it before she glanced up at me. She probably contemplated lying because I could see it in her eyes. She knew it.

"Y-Yes. That night when those men came. I saw it on their necks." She confirmed.

I nodded, took the file from her, and headed to my office. Who rules these people? Why did they try to kill the Luna Queen? I should meet Alex again.

"Are you going somewhere?" Grayson asked as he stood behind me. I put the last file in the case and nodded.

"Yes. I have to meet the Alpha King and yes make sure you keep an eye on Leila. I don't trust her." He opened his mouth to say something but shut it up immediately. I didn't need any explanation.

I packed up the rest of the files, letting out a deep breath as I placed them on the rack. I was already getting impatient already. I originally planned to meet my kids but the Alpha King came along. Was this what it meant to be an Alpha and a father?

I already planned that I was going to drop by from office. After my fallout with Grayson, I started going to the office myself to inspect things since he was the one who always did that and it has been quite hectic.

At home, I could focus more on the pack and its matters but now, the responsibility of the businesses as well as the pack was resting on me which didn't do anything to help me at all in this case. Thank goodness that he was back now.

I let out a groan as I rose to my feet. Picking up the car key, I exited the company building. I tried calling Maurene but she was not answering. Maybe she was working with Liam.

There was no way she would stop me from meeting them because she already agreed that I could meet them anytime I wanted to. Although Heit already warmed up to me, I still caught a little bit of hesitation from Kyle and Kylie. I understood them. I mean from what had happened the last time, I didn't know if I was ready to face them again.

Heit was extra-inquisitive unlike they were and I didn't expect them to get along with me immediately. So I texted her. I'M COMING OVER
