ARTURO YSTRAUGHFFE was greedy to make the Luna a part of the royal family.
But, if he would be honest, he would rather Eclaire Perkins marry Nathaniel because his oldest son was the Crown Prince.
Although he didn't mind if the Luna ended up marrying Graham, it would be a shame if his Wolf son regained some sort of political power from that marriage. Arturo hated the Wolves because the prideful tribe refused to bow down to him completely.
On the other hand, Nathaniel's maternal family was his biggest supporter.
However, it was also the root of the Crown Prince's arrogance towards him. Hence, in order to put Nathaniel in his place, he made it look like he would favor Graham if Graham really ended up marrying the Luna.
[Nathaniel, it's too early for you to bare your fangs at me.]
