**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
**Clair's POV*** I bit my bottom lips as Alpha Damian, the elders, Teresa and me all stood in the pack's courtroom, awaiting the results of the search. “Miss Clair, you should brace yourself. I believe your kids will be returned to you.” Teresa had no idea about what's going on. Before now, I've dreamt about my kids and in my dreams, they were not returned to me. I want to believe that it was just a mere dream. It must have wanted to torture me into believing that I won't set eyes on my kids anymore. I have to keep hope alive, this is the only way out for me. I took my gaze towards Teresa, who held on to my hands tightly. I could tell that she's just as expectant as I am as of the moment. Just then, the soldiers marched into the room. Immediately I stood up, peeping at every soldier who walked in, hoping they were carrying a child, but I didn't see a child with any of them. Instantly I staggered, but Teresa who had been clinging on to me the whole time helped pull me up t
**Alpha Cannon's POV***“W…what are you trying to say?”She asked with a raised brow. “What I'm trying to say is simple. By the way, why don't you explain to me your relationship with Alpha Cannon as well?”Instantly, she lifted her eyes in surprise. I guess that must have been the last question she was expecting from someone like me. “Alpha Cannon, don't you think you're asking me too much of a question here? Did you, perhaps do some digging about me?”“What do you think?” She shut her eyes and took a deep breath. “I don't really know what you're after, but everyone around me knows how close these people are to me. I don't understand why you're asking me a question about them.”“Relax, I'm only asking you a question, it's not a death sentence.”“Alright. Just like I said earlier, they are close to me, but not as close as you might think we are. So tell me, what is this about?”“Good! I like the fact that you're a straightforward person; hence I don't have to beat around the bush
**Trina's POV***I laid on my bed with a smile on my face. It will soon be a week, after which I'll contact Clair. By then, her desperation would hold no bounds and all of my plans would finally come to pass. I just can't wait for my plans to take effect as soon as possible. I smiled happily at the turn of events. Just then, the door to my room flew open unexpectedly and to my shock, it was no one else but Diane. Immediately I jolted up from my bed. “My goodness! Diane, how could you barge into my room just like that? Even though you made it possible for me to find a place to hide, it still doesn't give you the right to just barge into my room just like that!”“I'm sorry for doing that. But that's not relevant right now.”“Huh? What do you mean?” I asked at once. Now that I looked at her closely, she seemed like someone who had just had a near-death experience. “Tell me, what happened to you, Diane?”“Miss Trina, I'm afraid we might not be able to hide for long this way.”“What?
**Alpha Cannon's POV***“Alpha Cannon, sure this is a good idea? I mean, what if she's not the one?”“Do you know one thing about guilty ones, they always tell you they are innocent. We are here to find out what it is she's hiding.”“But what if whatever she's hiding had nothing to do with the kids."“That's not the case. I'm not here solely because I suspect her of abducting the kids. I'm sure whatever she's hiding must have something to do with the case,” I explained to Andrew, who nodded his head. We've been waiting outside the hotel, which Diane went into. After a few hours. I noticed her strolling out of the hotel. “Here she is. But strangely, she's out alone. Do you think whoever she came to see is in there?”“Probably. Just get the men to be on standby. Though we might not get anything on her, we can as well find out about her secret.”As soon as she got into the car, I had expected that she would drive off, but she didn't. Rather, she stays in her car without starting the en
**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**# 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.
