Divorced Ex-Luna Returns With Triplets

Maurene'S POV

My relationship with Liam has been quite rocky since I found out about his relation with Alex and Evangeline. Although she warned me not to stay away from Liam, I just couldn't bring myself to accept the fact that he hid something as important from me.

How could he do that for years and get angry when I told him about my marriage with Nathaniel?

At this point, I was starting to think that there were things I didn't know about Liam from the beginning. Maybe it was the fact that he had saved me that made me overlook it then but it was glaring at me now.

I swallowed hard, standing before the window. Nathaniel has been looking for ways to get to speak with me but I used the kids as an excuse to get away. I didn't know what he wanted to talk about but from the time we had shared in the toilet back in Atlanta, I had an inkling of what he wanted to discuss with him. I just was not ready for the conversation.

For my kids, would I go back to him?

I sucked in a deep breath, realizing that I didn't even have an instant answer to the question. It was... I shook my head, turning around to sit on the bed. The scene from the night was still fresh in my head. How could I have allowed him to kiss me?

I felt disgusted to the core because I also liked it. I liked it so much that it hurt. The feel of his lips against mine. I wanted it again and it scared me so much. He was the reason I was in pain and yet, he didn't hesitate when he pulled me against him and kissed me kike his life depended on it.

I knew if I hadn't pulled back, we could have gone further which only complicates things. He had just confirmed that my marriage to Liam was fake because if it wasn't, the kiss wouldn't have lasted that long. Not to add, the way he touched me, my boobs, my ass. I missed his touch, and I wouldn't deny it. He knew how and where to touch me.

For the first time, I remembered that it had been a long time since I was in a man's arms. What did Nathaniel do to me?

After I found out I was in heat, I quickly went to look for a witch to help me with my issue. I knew that if I had not done that, Nathaniel would have found me and something irreversible could have happened which I didn't want to.

He had even messaged me that he was coming to see the kids. I had to stall my waiting because I didn't want to face him. I had thought he had left but meeting him that day, I was instantly grateful that I applied the ointment. I closed my eyes briefly as I remembered my encounter with the woman.

"This is the hundredth ointment you would be getting from me. Why don't you just reject this mate of yours?" The witch asked me, placing the ointment before me.

I offered a light smile. "I wish I could but I cannot. Hmm, is there perhaps any way I can cut the mate bond without a rejection?"

She thought for a while before nodding. Hope lit in my chest as I dipped my head down for her to tell me.

"Yes, you can cut the mate bond. The bond is just a tiny piece of thread tying you and him together and it can be cut." She explained.

"And how do you that?" I was quite curious.

"Through a dream. You both will fall into a deep sleep where you break each other's hearts to a point where you both feel like dying. When you are both in the dream, the bond is disconnected." "Really?"

She nodded. "Yes, but there is just a repercussion. If I remember clearly, you have kids right?"

My brows furrowed closer. "What does that have to do with it?"

"They were formed from the bond. It means that everything that was formed from the bond will die as well. Not just in the dream but in reality. The both of you will be the only ones alive but... you will never be happy even if you want to." A confused look etched on my face. What did she mean by that?

"So I am stuck with him?"

"Unless you want to reject him directly. That way, they would be safe. You both will just appear like two divorced couples." She shrugged.

"So which one do you choose, Maurene?"

I blinked up at her. For me to be totally free from Nathaniel, my kids and my happiness was the cost. There was no way I would sacrifice my kids for something like that. They were my life. My joy. What use is life without them?

If I have to endure seeing Nathaniel whenever he comes to visit them, then I will.

"No, don't bother about it. I choose my kids." I picked up the ointment, giving her the money before scurrying out of the place.

Why was the price so costly?

I let my head fall back to the bed. Staring at the blank white ceiling, I let out a deep sigh. When will all of this end?

I was getting tired of it already.

My phone beeped with a message and I peered a look at it.

Can we meet tonight? I am waiting outside. - Liam.

I let out a hiss, turning the phone over. He wanted to meet me? I didn't want to. All of them. They all kept it from me! My phone beeped again and I looked at it.

Please, Maurene. I want to see you once. Give me a chance to explain myself. - Liam.

I sat up, contemplating going outside to meet him. Everyone deserved a second chance. But does Liam deserve it?

He had so many times to tell me that he was somehow related to Evangeline but he didn't. Even after we had met at the party, he still chose not to tell me. It could mean one thing and that would be that if I was never meant to find out. And if I wasn't, then what happened was never planned.

Oh, no!

What were these thoughts I was putting together?

Things can't be as complicated as these, can they?

I rose to my feet, picked a coat from the wardrobe, and exited my room. I stepped out of the house, noticing that he was about to enter his car when he saw me. He stopped, slowly closing the door. "You came," He muttered.

I shrugged. "You said you wanted to see me. And that you want to explain yourself. I am all ears, Liam."

"Maurene," He moved to hug me but I took a step back from him. I didn't think I was ready to be held by him. To be held by any man at this point.

He sucked in a deep breath. "Maurene, the reason I didn't tell you about myself was because I didn't know if you knew about the werewolf race and I didn't want to endanger you at all."

I gave him a blank stare. "That still doesn't justify you, Liam. After that? After you found out that in fact knew about the werewolf race, why didn't you tell me?" I questioned him, feeling my fist clenched tightly. "Oh, Maurene. I had forgotten. We were so busy trying to get Galen and Nathaniel to start the project that I didn't remember to tell you." A pained expression was etched on his face.

I let out a scoff. "Really? Really, Liam? This was something that you could have told me anytime any day. You could have brought it up. You... You even sent me to Alexander! You made me meet with him, why?" "Because he was interested in seeing who my assistant was and I could not deny him since I was working for him." His lips twitched in a sad smile.

"Tell me, what went wrong with the project at Nathaniel's pack? Why did Nathaniel return the payment and I was summoned by Alex?" "Because... because I made a mistake and... I was not careful enough to keep things... clean so..." He stuttered, unable to meet my eyes. "So I was chosen to keep things clean? What things exactly didn't you keep clean?" I cocked my head to the side as I questioned him. He let out a snort. "You don't think that what we are doing is clean, do you?"
