***Trina's POV***Getting to the main hall, I looked around and noticed how well organized the hall looked. No doubt, I was terribly envious of what I was seeing. She must have given through so much stress by adding so much just to score some points with the Alpha. I know that's what my aim was. Seeing all of this made me believe that indeed she was nothing more than a gold digger. She took advantage of the fact that she looks like my sister to earn the people's trust. “How dare she pretend in front of me like she really cared for us not to have problems when deep in her heart, she was rather glad that such a thing happened to me?!” I couldn't help but lash out. “Miss Trina, you can't say that out loud while you're here. I mean, what if someone hears you or sees you. What are we going to do by then?”“They won't. By the way, I was supposed to be here. Let's say the Alpha forgot an invitation towards me. There's no way he couldn't have just abandoned me in such a situation.”“My goo
**Clair's POV**While I walked away from the hall, I suddenly felt like there was someone watching me, or should I say behind me. Who could that be? I had wanted to turn around but realized that doing that might just expose me to whoever it was. And maybe this was because I already had an Idea of whom this person was. Rather than looking backwards, I rather increased my walking speed. This was better than being caught off guard. There's no way I'm letting that happen. Just as I had planned to increase my walking steps, I was suddenly grabbed by the arm and whisked around. To my shock, it was Cannon. “What do you think you're doing?” I asked between clenched teeth while looking around. “I'm sure you know what this means, Clair.”“Let me go, Cannon. I believe you know that there are so many guests here.”“Of course I do. But among those present, you're the only one who interests me.”“Get the fuck away from me!” I tried pulling my hands forcefully away from him, but that seemed
***Clair's POV***“Clair, I finally found you!”“Finally found me? What the hell are you talking about, Teresa?”Quickly, Teresa walked up to me and held me firmly by the hand with a sad expression. “Teresa, talk to me, you're scaring me.”“I don't know where to start from, but you need to know what's going on.”“And that is?”"T..the kids are b…both m…issiing.”I creased my brow in utter confusion. I clearly did not understand what Teresa was saying. “Teresa, please calm down. I want you to take a deep breath before you speak.”She shut her eyes and took a deep breath just as I had suggested and opened them all at once. “Now tell me, what are you talking about?”"T..the kids are missing!” She blurted out at once. “What? Whose kids are missing?”"T..the twins are missing. Can't find them in their rooms.”Instantly, my heart sank.“What do you mean they are not in their rooms?” I asked as I quickly dashed towards the direction of my children's room. “They are with Mrs. Debby. I re
**Clair's POV**“Know this, you say? You think I trust you enough to believe that bullshit. Are you going to deny that it wasn't you who took my kids? How did they go missing just when you came to my pack? You've been running a background check on me and the kids before now, haven't you?”“No! You're getting things wrong here. I hadn't even seen the kids before. I mean, why would I go as far as abducting kids I've never laid eyes on? That would be so cruel of me, don't you think?”“Are you seriously asking me like you don't know exactly what you're capable of?”Seeing how red Clair's eyes were, I could tell that there's no way I'll be able to defend myself. I'm going to get that bastard who did this. Couldn't this have been the best timing for the bastard to abduct the kids to make it look like I was the one responsible for it?“What do you want, Cannon? Why won't you let the kids be? Are you trying to give them to Roxanne? I swear I'll fight you to the last drop of my blood if you d
**Alpha Cannon's POV***After successfully laying her on her bed, I gently brushed the hair covering her face to the back of her ears. Seeing her unconscious made me feel bad, but it was for the best. If I had left her to go searching for the kids, I'm sure she might as well walk into the hands of the enemies. Good thing I was fast enough to prevent this from happening. “My goodness, how did she become this way,” the lady who had led me into Clair's room said as she rushed towards the bed with a bowl of water and a napkin. At first, I felt skeptical about the lady, but seeing just how worried and caring she was towards Clair made me feel relieved. I slowly got up from the bed to let her take care of Clair. “You don't need to do much, I'm sure she'll be awake soon. Though, I have a question for you.”She quickly put down the bowl on a table next to the bed and walked towards me. “What would you like to find out from me, Alpha Cannon?”I creased my brow slightly. “H…how did you f
***Alpha Cannon's POV***I paced from one end of the room to the next. I couldn't help but think about what Teresa had told me earlier while I was in the Lockwood Pack. The search was still ongoing though, but from what I've cheated so far, Trina's enemy could either be one of the pack soldiers or this Trina. I shook my head, carefully confused about whom to really suspect.“Alpha Cannon. You should stop pacing. I don't know if you haven't decided yet, but if you ask me, I only have one thing to say.”“And that is?” I asked with a raised brow.“Whoever abducted your kids must be a woman.”“And why is that?”“Only a jealous woman would go through the means of abducting the child of her enemy. Though a man could also do the sake, that would mostly come into play if the man in question turns out to be her ex lover. But then, you and I know for a fact that Miss Clair does not have a boyfriend.”“That reminds me. Now that you've said it, I can't help but think about the man I've seen her
**Trina's POV**“Get the kids to keep quiet, argh!” I screamed out in frustration. “My goodness! I don't know how. We never should have brought them with us. What are we going to do about them now?”I took my gaze towards the kids, who cried nonstop. I had bought them all the toys that existed. Bought them snacks and ice cream, but they just wouldn't stop crying. “Why don't you both keep shut! I yelled out in anger and immediately, they both kept shut for the first time. I blinked, staring at the boys. “So you could be this obedient, huh?” Just as I was about to breathe a deep sigh of relief, they suddenly screamed out again. I shook my head, almost about to cry out from frustration. “Oscar you need to do something about these kids, I'm getting fed up!”“Ma'am, I don't know what to do with them, to be honest. I'm just as helpless as you are now.”Oscar said aloud. “Kids, please be silent and let me think of a way out for all of us. I mean, if you keep crying, how can I help y
**Alpha Cannon's POV***“Alpha Cannon,” Andrew called as he rushed into my office.“Tell me, did you get any news about them?”“About Trina, all those I asked have no idea where she went after being banished. But for Diane, she's quite the busy woman who is always going about her businesses. As for Alpha Rojas, I think it's better if you meet him yourself.”“Yes. I had thought about meeting him. You should set a meeting for us both. I need to see him. “Alright, a meeting will be arranged right away.”**I arrived at Rojas's pack and was welcomed wary by his beta.“The Alpha will join you soon, Alpha Cannon,” be said before exiting the visitor's room.I looked around the room, which looked quite comfortable. Alpha Rojas doesn't lack in taste, and I can almost say we both have a flair for the same thing. Just that we can never be friends. As long as he has eyes for my mate, there's no way we can be friends. It didn't take up to five minutes before Rojas showed up. “What a surprise vi
**Clair's POV**# A Month LaterMy sex life with Cannon only got better. I can't even begin to describe just how loving Cannon had proven to be. If I ever were to be told that things would actually turn out this way for me, I never would have believed it. I mean, how did I fall this deeply?I looked in the mirror and heaved a long, deep sigh. Since my dad had found in out about Cannon and me, I had expected him to scold me or Cannon, but he rather said he already knew about what happened and there's no way he's blaming Cannon who unknowingly made me suffer or me who kept the secret about Cannon being the father of my kids. Things didn't end there, Cannon also proposed a marriage to me through my dad. Since Alpha Damian was my dad, he made him understand that he wanted his mate back. At this point, I can't deny the fact that I was head over heels in love with Cannon. But at the same time, I just don't want to let Alpha Damian feel that I'm abandoning him. Though he might not say it,
**Clair's POV ** I woke up only to realize just how free I felt. I felt so much relief that I opened my eyes and looked at my environment. To my greatest shock, I wasn't in my room. Where is this place? Gradually, it became clearer to me that I wasn't in my bed. I slowly stood up from the bed, only for me to realize that I was in Cannon's bed. At the same time, the thought of what happened before now came, clouding my memories. When I realized what a slut I had been last night, I let but a shocked gasp and shook my head. It must have been crazy for me to act that way. What the hell was wrong with me? Shit! I wonder what Cannon must have thought of me. But then, thinking about the hot sex we had instantly made my core burn. I had always thought the sex we had the first day was the best, but I just realized that it was the sex I had now that was mind-blowing. I bit my lower lips just thinking about how he licked and sucked me. Not only that, I can't help but think about how he
**Alpha Cannon's POV*** When she begged me to take her, I felt like the moon goddess had just answered my dying prayers. Without waiting a second more, I jumped on her. She looked startled when she saw this. “Hey baby, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. I'll make you feel better than you've ever felt. Do you trust me?” Though she didn't say a word, I could see in her eyes that she trusts me. That was all I needed from her before I spread her legs apart. She looked into my eyes and swallowed hard. Her innocent eyes bare holes into my very soul. She looked like she was going to have it for the very first time. But of course. I can vouch that she's never had anyone asides me in her entire life. The first night we spent together can't be counted as one, since what happened between us was more like a contract of love making. None of us invested our heart and soul into it, since we had no idea that we were doing it with ourselves. “Clair, I want you to know that you're
**Clair's POV** I had said I was going to control myself, but I found myself moaning out loud helplessly. Cannon ate me like his life depended on it, while I moaned with every contact his flesh made with my folds. “Aaaa,” I moaned out as he peeled me further open and lavishly rubbed his tongue at the center of my folds and then, he began to pick at my folds with his lips. I rolled my eyes to the back of my head. I couldn't contain myself as he continued to eat me with a careless abandon. I thrashed my head from side to side and bit my bottom lips, trying to suppress my moans. The more I tried to hold back, the more pressure he applied on my center. “Aaaa…gently please!” I cried out, but he just wasn't going to listen to my plea. My moans only charged him up and made him devour my center. As he continued to devour my center, it got to a point I began to feel pleasure and pressure in the pit of my stomach. No doubt I discovered that I was about to climax, and so I held on t
**Clair's POV **“My goodness!”I exclaimed as I quickly turned around to face him. It was indeed him. He looked not at my face but at my chest with a slightly dark gaze. This made me take my gaze downwards to my chest, only for me to realize that the robe had slid down my chest and my boots were now exposed. Shit! I quickly reached for the robe to cover myself. I was shocked when Cannon suddenly covered the distance between us in one swift move and held my hands in place. “What are you doing?” He asked, staring at me with a confused expression. “What do you think? I'm trying to cover up,” I said between my teeth. “Why would you want to cover up in front of me? Have you forgotten our agreement? Is this how you intend to please me, perhaps?”The moment he said the words, I opened my mouth wide in utter shock. Why did I not think about what I had said before now? “I…" I trailed off, not knowing what to say to him. Just at that very moment, I took my gaze downwards, only to that,
**Clair's POV**I stood in front of the water bath. I still can't believe what I'm about to do. How did I get this far? “Ma'am, on earth you're done, please let me know.”I took my gaze toward the direction of the lady who stood at the entrance of Cannon's bathroom door. “You don't have to watch me. I'll be very much okay on my own.”Alright, Ma'am,” the lady said with a smile before exiting the bathroom. I shut my eyes and took a deep breath the moment she was out of the room. I can't even begin to describe what all this was. All I knew was that I'm feeling so awkward. This is just like the first day I had sex with Cannon for the first time. I remembered that back also soaked a warm bath. The only difference was that Roxanne watched the whole process of my bath. Unlike now, where I wasn't under anyone's supervision. No matter how normal I'm trying to feel, it still doesn't change the fact that I'm giving myself out to Cannon in exchange for the cancellation of a battle. I can
**Alpha Cannon's POV **I paced from one end of my office to the next. I was worried sick about what I had said earlier. “Alpha Cannon, you shouldn't stop pacing for crying out loud. I'm beginning to feel extremely dizzy right now, you know. Please, calm down and let me think.”“No, you don't understand, Andrew. You know for a fact that Clair isn't someone who will back down from something like this.”“My goodness! This is why you never should have said that to her. What are we going to do now if she comes up with something else.”“That's the problem.”I'm afraid that Clair might have something else going on in her head. Whenever she leaves angry, what she comes back with is always shocking. When she left after I asked her to stay here in the pack with me, she shocked me out of my wits when she rather came back with Alpha Rojas. While I was contemplating on what to do, I suddenly heard a knock on my office door. I took my gaze towards Andrew, who equally stared at me in shock. My
**Clair's POV **“A condition?”“Yes, a condition. Are you ready to hear it?”“Well, why don't you bring it on,” I stated, prepared to hear what he had to say. Just then, he slowly walked over to where I stood. Judging from his slightly dark expression, I was having the thought that I might not actually like what he was about to say to me. Just as he got close to where I stood, he suddenly stretched out his hands towards me. I tried to move backwards a bit before I could do that. He grabbed a hold of my waist and pulled me towards him.“What do you think you are doing?”I asked, breathing heavily. This action of his has tuned my wolf into disarray. Why was he suddenly doing this? Does he have any idea how badly what he was doing affected me?“I don't know why I'm the only one with this feeling. This is unfair. You're my mate, and you should at least feel a little passion for me, just as I feel for you. How can I be the only one to suffer for this? It's so unfair,” he whispered as he
**Clair's POV ***I looked up at Rojas, I felt terribly bad for what I was about to say, since I was the one who moved the motion from the very beginning. “Rojas, I'm sure you'll be wondering why I came to you and not saying anything for a while now. That's because I still don't know how to start talking about what's on my mind.”“What could you have had in mind? You know you can always talk to me, and I'll hear you out.”“Well, the thing is, I want to put a stop to the fight about getting back my kids.”“What? Why would you stop? Don't you wish to get back your kids anymore?”“Of ourselves I do, but then after a second thought, I realized that I actually can't fight him for the kids no more what I do. It's obvious that he's only willing to let go, and I'm not going to fight about this as well.”“My goodness, Clair, do you realize that you have just succumbed to him? Is that what you want?”“Believe me, that's not what I want, but the situation is far more complicated than I thought.
