**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
***Alpha Cannon's POV**I paced from one end of my room to the next. This was freaking annoying!”Andrew rushed into the room immediately. “Why didn't you come in time when I asked to see you?!” I yelled at him. “Goodness! Alpha Cannon, what makes you look this pissed? I mean, it's not like you to get this angry.”“Did you just say unlike me? You think I should be smiling after what happened?!” I yelled. “You're getting angry again. Just calm down and explain things to me.”“I swear, I can never be friends with Rojas!”“Hold on a minute. Let me get this straight. It can't be that you finally found out about his feelings for Miss Clair?”“What? Hold on, are you trying to tell me that you knew about this?”“Who doesn't know about this? I told you about the lady named Diane and how she accused Miss Clair of seducing Alpha Rojas. Actually, Miss Clair might not have had such intention towards Rojas, but there's a clear possibility that he felt that way about her, if you know what I mean
