***Alpha Cannon's POV***I quickly rushed into my car and headed to the destination Andrew had earlier told me about. While on my way, I quickly called Andrew a second time. “Andrew, you must not let her leave. Tell her I'll pay for every time wasted. Do you understand me?”“Of course, Alpha, I'm patiently waiting for you.”The reason I had to head there was to see this photo myself. I wanted to confirm whether truly what Andrew said was true or not. If it was actually true, then…I trailed off as I was in a terrible state. I've become so anxious that I barely don't know what to do with myself.I arrived at the said place in an hour's time. Thankfully, as soon as Andrew saw my car, he rushed towards me. “Would you like to see the photos?”“Tell her to come in. I would like to see the photos and have a conversation with her.”“Alright,” Andrew quickly got out of the car to send for the lady in question while I waited patiently in my car. Some minutes later, the girl in question s
**Clair's POV***Ever since the incident with Alpha Rojas and the lady named Clair, Alpha Damian had instructed somebody to guard outside my office. This way, they'll be able to handle whoever dares to intrude. As usual, Alpha Rojas and I were planning for the launching of my new lipstick. This was important to me, and the fact that the Alpha was willing to sponsor as compensation for what happened that day was actually soothing. Since I couldn't stop him from wanting to help me, then I can as well accept his help with open arms. “Thank you so much, Mr. Rojas, for all your support so far.”“Oh you don't actually need to thank me at all. I did what I did with my whole heart. And we are business partners, so of course it is only right that I render my support.”I simply smiled at him. Feeling so delighted. “Once again, I want to apologize for all that happened that day with Diane. I'm well aware of the embarrassment you felt. I promise such a thing will never happen again.”“You don
***Alpha Cannon's POV***I sat in my car outside the restaurant, watching my mate have lunch together with another man. I watched them from my car as they both share a glances, laughing at some point, a look of sadness at other moments. How could this be? Did I arrive too late? When I finally located her office, I was so glad that the only thing I thought about at that moment was to walk into the company and ask about her with the card in my hand. It would be easy for me to get her attention since I was in possession of her business card. Everything was all planned out and going well, until I suddenly caught sight of her, coming out from an office with a guy. Immediately, I stepped back and quickly hid in a corner to see what was happening. Though I could tell that she, for some reason, sensed my presence, or so I thought, due to how she stood frozen and turned around. I quickly pulled away so she wouldn't set eyes on me. After some seconds, I took another peek and noticed she was
***Clair's POV***Teresa, who was surprised by what I said, slowly walked away from their bed. “Are they asleep now?”I whispered. Teresa gestured for me to keep shut and pulled me out of the room with her. After she successfully shut the door, she quickly turned around to face me. “Did I just hear you right? How dare you call yourself a bad mom. Just why would you say such about yourself?”"Today, I promised that I was going to close early from the office and be there to tell them a bedtime story. I was the one who gave the promise and still the one who failed to keep to my promise. Aren't I pathetic?"“You don't sympathize with yourself at all, do you. If I were to be in your shoes with all this work in place, I'm sure I would have passed out since a long time ago.”“Still, that doesn't justify the fact that I don't really have time for my kids.”“You don't have their time now because you're a busy mom. You have no idea just how strong you are, do you? It's not an easy fit, tryin
***Clair's POV***Finally, it was the day of the launching program. While Ramona was helping me fix my makeup, I couldn't help just how nervous I was feeling at that moment. Goddess help me. This wasn't the first time I was launching a product. “Miss Clair, you're feeling nervous again,” Ramona said as she examined me through the mirror. “Yes I am. I don't understand why I have to feel this way.”“It's not like it's the first time, though. What I mean is, in every product launch, you're always nervous. I think it's a good thing because you put in all your effort, and you wanted it to come out excellent.”“My goodness, how did you know that, Ramona?”Ramona is such a nice girl that I truly hoped that she'll be mated to an Alpha or a Beta at least. This is because she had the attributes that a Luna should have. This is why I'm sure she'll do such a fine job if she were ever to become a Luna, because she has all what it takes to be one. “Thank you, Ramona, you will always have a speci
***Alpha Cannon's POV***Good thing I was able to trace the place. I had thought I wouldn't be able to find it, since I'm not used to this part of the country. Standing in front of the building where the new product launching will be carried out, I was amazed when I saw her name boldly written on the billboard. There was no picture of her, though, and I understood this was her choice. She must have wanted to hide away from me that badly. Seeing the crowd still trooping into the hall, it seems I'm not the only late one here. I quickly walked into the main hall and damn, the crowd wasn't what I had expected. From where I stood, I folded my arms on my chest and watched my mate, looking all glowing and beautiful in her long pink dress. I've never seen Clair dress up this way before and seeing her right now, I can't help but imagine her being my Luna and leading the pack with me. If only that was as simple as I was thinking. I quickly shook my head, dusting the thoughts out of my head.
***Clair's POV***“You were happy? Happy that I was alive? You know what? I would rather not see you or hear whatever you have to say. Just Leave!” “Clair, please don't chase me away. You could attest to the fact that I came down all the way here for you.”“Why? Why did you come to me? I'm sure that Roxanne must be plotting my death right now, and you are trying to lead her here!”“No, I will never do that. Listen toe, Clair, I'm here for you and I want to help you,” he suddenly covered the distance between and reached for my hand. The moment our hands touched, my mate instantly screamed the words, “Mate!”I looked up at him and gasped in shock. Quickly, I drew my hands back. At this point, I wasn't the only one who seemed to be in shock, he was also staring at me wide-eyed. Could it be that he had no idea as well? “H…how did you find out? How did the sealing spell get lifted?” He muttered to himself, but I could hear him clearly. “What did you just say? A sealing spell? Hold on a
**Clair's POV***While on my way home, I couldn't help but think about my past. Mere thinking about the things I suffered instantly brought tears to my eyes. In order not to draw the attention of my driver, I looked at the window, which was away from my driver's view. Tears ran down my cheeks helplessly, and I couldn't find myself controlling it, no matter how hard I tried. I thought I was never going to cry again. I thought things were going to turn out for good. Little did I know that things would get this messy. I didn't realize that I was already in the pack house until my driver called to my attention. “Miss Clair, we are finally home,” he announced. I quickly wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes before the driver showed up at the door. I quickly searched through my purse and fortunately, I found my dark shades in there. I'm sure my eyes are bloodshot from excessive crying. The last thing I want right now is to dress attention towards me. I'm well aware of the fact t
