***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
**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
