**Alpha Cannon's POV***The kids were successfully transported into the back seat of my car. “Alpha, what do we do with these women?”“I want you to send them to the Nightingale pack. I'm sure that Clair would be glad to find those who actually abducted her kids.”“Alright. But what about the kids? What do we do about them?”“The kids…”I looked into my car where both boys sat quietly. I shut my eyes and took a deep breath. “They are coming with me.”“W... What? Aren't you going to return them now that they have been found?”“Andrew, why don't you tell me sincerely. Do you really think I should return them?”“Well, the thing is-”“You know for a fact, if I return them, I'll never be able to lay eyes on my kids ever again. Do you really want me to go through such agony? Do you think Clair would ever look at me?”“I understand where your pains are coming from, to be honest.”“Well, if you do, then I don't think there's more to talk about.”With that said, I walked into the back seat o
**Clair's POV***I laid on my bed, looking up at the ceiling when I heard a knock on my door, accompanied by the door being pushed open. I jolted up from my bed at once only to see Teresa rush in. “My goodness, Teresa! You scared the shit out of me, you know.”“I'm so sorry, Clair, but the news I bring you is important and shocking.”“Huh? What is it this time?”“You know, Alpha Damian had been investigating the words of Debby since she was the one with the kids when they got kidnapped.”“Yes, I know that for sure. So, what's so important.”“Well, information reaching me is that Debby had confessed.”“What? I don't think I understand what you're trying to say.”“What I'm trying to say is that Debby was said to have confessed the fact that she was involved in the abduction of your kids.”“Wait, what? I mean, how's that even possible?” I asked wide-eyed as I sat up straight. “Why don't we find out together? The Alpha wants your presence now.”Immediately, I jumped out of bed and head
**Clair's POV**To my greatest surprise, I saw Diane and Trina tied together, with a lady I knew nothing about. At that moment, I felt my heartbeat race. Seeing these women together, simply means there's something that could either mend or break my heart. Immediately, I picked up my steps and rushed towards Trina at full speed. Getting to where she was, I instantly grabbed her on the neck. “Tell me, where is my child?!”Trina stared at me with a gaze that described her, mocking me. “How dare you stare at me that way. Believe me, if you don't tell me where my child is, I swear I'm going to kill you right here and now!”I yelled out in anger. “Clair, hold your anger for now. We are yet to find out how they arrived at the pack.”I turned my gaze towards my dad. “You mean, they came of their accord?”“Not at all, these gentlemen here actually brought them.”I took my gaze towards the direction of the gentlemen the Alpha talked about. For some reason, I find them familiar, but then,
**Alpha Cannon's POV**I stared at my grandmother, who looked at her great grandkids in shock. “My goodness!” She exclaimed. “What's wrong grandma?”She took her gaze toward me, her eyes filled with emotions. “I never would have thought that I would truly lay eyes on my great grandkids. How did you do it? Did Clair finally let you take them to the Pack?”My grandmother asked, while staring at me, anticipating my answer. “What if I say not at all.”“It can't be that you didn't seek her approval before taking them.”“That's precisely what I'm trying to say. I didn't seek her approval.”“What? And why not?”“Grandmother, do you think she would have let me take the kids if I had asked? She definitely would refuse me, just as she refused me from laying eyes on them.”“Oh dear. I do understand why she limited you, though. Child, you can't blame her for not wanting you to see the kids. I'm sure I would have done the same if it were me.”“You see what I said I had to take the kids by forc
**Clair's POV*** Standing in front of the Alpha, I was utterly confused that I didn't even know what to say as of the moment. “Clair, why are you silent? Don't you have something to say to me?” His sudden question made me raise my head up to look at him. I paused my lips while staring at him. As much as I wanted to tell him what was on my mind, I found myself fidgeting and at a loss for words to speak. “What's wrong? Why do you look so shocked?” “Dad, I know what I want to say to you now might make you disappointed in me. This is the reason I'm speechless.” He sat up straight on his chair and cleared his throat. “Actually, I don't think there's anything for you to be afraid of.” I shook my head, while trying to hold back the tears that formed at the corners of my eyes. I understand why you're saying this now. But if you actually find out the truth, I'm not sure if you'll be okay with it.” Heaved a long, deep sigh. “Now I could tell that I'm making things harder for you, a
**Clair's POV***As soon as I got down from my car, the first thing I perceived was the scent of my kids and my mother. This made me breathe a sigh of relief. Finally, I was able to find them both. Now, getting into the pack could be quite difficult, especially when it's the territory of my enemy. I walked out of the car as soon as my driver held out the door for me. Looking around the pack, I noticed it was no different from what I've known it to be in the past. I guess Cannon didn't pay attention to the beauty of his pack like he used to in the past. Not like the pack wasn't looking good. It still had that charm that would make anyone coming to the pack for the first time go wow!As soon as I headed to the pack entrance, the guards all came towards my direction. Funny enough, I know almost every guard present. They all held an expression of delight in their faces. Among them came Andrew. “Welcome back to the pack, Miss Clair. It's our pleasure to see you here again,” he said w
**Alpha Cannon's POV***No matter how hard I tried to see reasons with It, just didn't work. I had expected her to be hard-headed but I never thought that she would take it this far. Just what does she think in her head all the time? How am I supposed to convince her that I'm not her enemy? All she sees are the bad things about me. I don't think she's ever questioned herself any day about if I was truly her enemy or not. Why would she do this to me? While I was deep in thoughts, my beta instantly barged into my office looking all worried. “Alpha, what exactly happened here? Did she refuse your terms?”“She didn't even give me the opportunity to call out my terms,” I said with a clenched fist. “This is bad. What were her demands?”“She wants the kids and her mother too!” I hit my desk in anger. “What? This is so not looking good. I had thought she was only mad about her kids, but now it turns out she also wants her mother too. Alpha, what do you have in mind to do now?”“What do y
**Alpha Cannon's POV** Clair's Mom, went wide in shock. Immediately, she put down the watering can she was holding and came closer to meet me. “Are you serious about what you've just said? You really found my daughter?” “Yes. She's doing okay, and she'll come see you soon.” “The goddess be praised! This is indeed the greatest news I've ever heard. Who would have thought that I would get to see my child again. Oh my goodness!” She welled up that very moment. I can imagine how she must be feeling at the moment. “Alpha Cannon, you have no idea just how happy I am at the moment. The goddess must love me to have kept my daughter safe for me.” “You're right. Though I would like to hear from you concerning an important matter.” “I know you're not aware of this, but I think this is the right time to let you know about this.” “Alright, I'm all ears, Alpha.” “Actually, Clair is my mate, and she actually gave birth to twin boys for me.” “Huh?” She muttered in utter shock. “H…how di
**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.
