Divorced Ex-Luna Returns With Triplets

Nathaniel'S POV

"So you are helping the Alpha King out of his bed now?" Grayson asked me, taking his seat. We have been going to and fro on the matter. I didn't know what to answer to his question because everything was starting to confuse me. Evangeline claimed that she had seen the wolf tag somewhere but she does not remember where. She had promised that she would go through the record and inform me when she finds out anything which was what I was doing. Waiting. It was the hardest to do. I felt like the enemy was still out there and what baffled me the most is that this enemy still hasn't made his intention clear. What exactly did he want?

It was exhausting.

"Yes, I need to know who this tag belong to." I told him, dropping the picture and returning my focus to the monitor where I was searching about the sickness that befell the Alpha King. After I had helped them, I was not allowed to take a look at him but I already caught sight of him.

"So the Alpha King is extremely sick?" He asked again to confirm.

I lifted a arched brow at him, nodding. "Yes and his condition is deteriorating fast which meant that a new Alpha King will soon emerge if they are not careful." "What if the other Alphas found out?" He asked.

I shook my head. "Then they must not find out. That was the reason Evangeline had to move him out because there were too many eyes watching them. Including mine. See they found me to be good after all and I will make use of it. Evangeline had told the hospital not to allow anyone in but she had forgotten that I had owned the hospital." I mused.

I could look into his records and see what was wrong with him exactly. I didn't know why Alex would wait this long to have his treatment. When he knew that his health condition was not so great, why didn't he just forfeit it? Why bind yourself to a throne that sucks you dry?

I guess he was just greedy. For the power and the position that came with me.

"Yesterday, I heard a rumor," Grayson said, bringing back my attention to him.

"What was it about?" I asked, clicking on a site link.

"That the other Alphas have come together to nominate a candidate for the Alpha King position, that is if Alex does not show up in the next one week." He told me.

That was tricky. There was no way Alex would make it out of his bed in the next one week. He could not even make it in the next one month. Evangeline would have to do something about this.

"Find out the genuinity of the rumor and yes, which Alpha was nominated."

"Alpha Blaire, Howl Pack." He answered.

That Alpha. The always quiet one that sits at the corner but watches everyone. How come he was chosen?

There was more to the matter than it seemed.

The door creaked open and as expected, Andreas stepped in. He gave me a curt bow before taking his seat.

"Tell me. What have you found out as concerning the Luna Queen and Alpha King?" I asked, keeping my eyes off the monitor to focus on what we were about to get into.

He pulled out some documents, extending them to me. I took them, going through them before picking them up the photos. They were pictures of Evangeline when she was younger. Evangeline Bright, daughter of Gray Bright and Lisa Bright. Only daughter.

I read everything there was to know about her childhood.

"How did she meet Alex?" I asked, my eyes still on her picture.

Andreas sighed. "They had met in a art gallery Evangeline had owned." He answered.

"She draws?" Grayson chipped in.

Andreas shook his head. "No, she does not. What she does is that she collects popular pieces and places them in her gallery. Not just that, she pays artists to draw what she tells them to." "That is such a lucrative job." I thought to myself.

"So Alex recognized her to be his mate at first glance?" I arched a brow at him.

"Yes, he did but he didn't acknowledge her. Months later, one of the pieces Evangeline had gotten for her gallery was proven to be stolen. She got into some sort of issue and her gallery was forced to close. In her moment of despair, according to my research, he began to get close to her." He explained.

"Then I found out something. The owner of the piece that was proven to be stolen belonged to the Alpha King and he was behind the closing down of her gallery."

"Does she know this?" Grayson asked, glancing at photos of the gallery before him.

He shook his head. "I don't think so and since then Alex does not let her outside without his guards going with her." He added.

Yes, that certainly was right. With the thorough check done by the guards, there must be a reason for it. A dangerous reason for it.

"Anything else?"

"Evangeline lost her child at five months. The child has died in her stomach. She was operated on and from the records, she cannot bear any child again." He told me.

No wonder that was no heir to the throne.

If Alex dies, the new Alpha King would have to come from his lineage and considering it by the look of it, Liam might but who would take a human for an Alpha King? Those rebellious and arrogant Alphas will never accept him which leaves me with one option. Another Alpha King will be chosen.

Alpha Blaire definitely should not rule. He will make things worse than they are already.

"The day the Luna Queen was attacked, she had left the mansion because Alex was not around and she could gallivant using her power as the queen."

I let out a deep sigh. All these was too much information and yet I was not getting what I needed.

"Did you look into the man that appeared in the video?" I asked, dropping the pictures and returning to matters.

"I am still doing that."

"We are forgetting someone here." Grayson raised his brows as we both turned our attention to him.

"Who?"

"Martins. Martins Taylor. He was behind everything that happened with Maurene and now he is dating Amanda. Don't you think he can be a prime suspect as well? If I remember clearly, Maurene was also there when they were attacked right? What if the attack was meant for her and not Evangeline?"

I knew the question he was not asking. What if Martins had planned all of these out since the beginning?

"I am still looking into him. That guy, Maxwell, was not just hired by him, he is also working actively with him which makes everything hard to go past but when I lay my hands on anything, I will let you know." He assured us.

I nodded, thanking him. He has been working non-stop and I was proud of it. I didn't think I could have come this far without him helping me with these. Soon after, he left us and Grayson and I remained in the office. We didn't speak as we both returned to thinking about everything that was happening.

"What do you think? Could Martins be behind this?" He drew in a deep breath.

I didn't know the answer to that because honestly, the guy has been strange to me as well. Remembering what had happened the last time and also the fact that her friend was sick, I knew there was more to him.

"I don't think so. It can be a possibility but we should not change our focus. I want you to look into one of Amanda's friends. I was told that she was sick the last time I went to check Amanda at the hospital but I don't believe it." I told him. He nodded. I passed him the information I had gotten and he left. I needed to see the Alpha King and see what I can do. Evangeline was yet to get back to me in what she found out.

Now, the answer I needed was who the wolf tag belong to. That was enough to find who wanted the Luna Queen dead. Wait, was it the Luna Queen that the person wanted to kill or the Alpha King? Because if the Luna Queen dies, then Alex will also.

My phone vibrated next to me and I saw it was Andreas that was calling. Why was he calling when he just left here some minutes ago?

I slid to the answer button. "Yes, Andreas?"

"You might want to call Amanda. Last night, she got attacked back at Martins' apartment. He is currently unconscious as he got shot in the arm." He told me before the line went dead.

She was attacked at Martins' house?

How the hell was that possible?
