**Clair's POV**
It's been a month since my pregnancy, and it hasn't been easy for me. My morning sickness was getting worse by the day. Today, I'm feeling better, tomorrow, I feel like I'm about to pass out.
Good thing Luna gives me enough rest. I wonder how it would have been if I had been pregnant with someone else's child while feeling this way. I'd probably be dead because there's no way Luna Roxanne would let me have the child.
Before going out that morning, I stared at myself in the mirror. Though I don't look pregnant yet. Maybe because I'm still very early in pregnancy, but the morning sickness was terrible. I placed my hand on my still flat stomach. I smiled at myself in the mirror. I can't believe a child is in my stomach, and it's the Alpha's.
For a moment, I forgot myself and began to feel myself. I imagined being in front of Cannon while he placed his hand on my stomach with a loving gaze.
“Thank you for carrying my child, Clair,” the moment he said the words, I snapped out of my wild imagination and jolted backwards. What the hell is wrong with me?
This is the most abominable thing I've ever thought of.
Quickly, I walked away from the mirror and prepared for morning chores. Even though I don't do much out there, I still reported to duties, this way there wouldn't be tongues wagging about the fact that I'm not doing my job.
As soon as I arrived in the kitchen, I saw everyone preparing more dishes. I was perplexed when I saw the dishes. I couldn't help but approach one of the cooks.
“Mrs. Trina, why are there more dishes today?”
“Huh? You are Luna's personal maid, don't tell me you don't know Luna's dad and some members of your former pack are here?”
“What?” I muttered, wide-eyed. I was totally unaware.
I quickly joined in the procession and served food. When we were done serving, I stood next to Luna like I always did while she eats breakfast with the Alpha. This time, the breakfast table had more guests. Both familiar and unfamiliar faces.
During breakfast, I noticed Alpha Cannon staring in my direction occasionally, but Luna Roxanne would smile at him, thinking he was staring at her, since I was standing right next to her.
The whole situation made me feel terrible, plus the fact that the baked pancakes somehow smelled differently to my nostrils. This is the normal pancake which is served at breakfast according to the breakfast menu. Why does it smell funny today?
“Love, I think our child loves pancakes, I literally crave pancakes currently,” Luna Roxanne said in delight. What the hell? The Alpha's child loves pancakes? Here I am feeling under the weather, all because of the same pancakes. This is misleading. I bet he hates pancakes!
Goddess help me! I hope I don't feel the need to throw up right here.
“Clair, it's so good to see you again. You have no idea how much I've missed you.”
Oh, goddess no!
Everyone at the table turned their gazes towards me.
“Clair, you're here. We almost didn't recognize you,” Alpha Ramon said with a broad smile. I bowed in greetings, but didn't say a word. Alpha Ramon is the father of Roxanne, and he's the one who actually picked me up from my former pack, which was ravaged by a terrible battle. I have been trained by him since I was 10 years old, so everyone in my former pack knows me so well.
“Clair, don't tell me you never missed me,” everyone at the table instantly went quiet, taking their gazes up at Daniel.
“Uhm, I mean our pack.”
“Why would she miss our pack? She's here working with me, Daniel. Can you please get rid of that little childhood crush you have for my maid? You should be preparing to get married to the youngest daughter of Alpha Drake, not a maid.”
Luna Roxanne stated in a commanding tone.
Since she was the eldest, everyone listened to her and heaved a long deep sigh.
I took my gaze sharply to Alpha Cannon. For some reason, I noticed he was holding the spoon in his hands way too strongly, or could it be just my imagination?
I took my gaze away and rather focused on everyone's plate, ready to serve them Just in case they needed more.
Suddenly, the smell of the pancakes wafted through my nostrils so badly that the urge to throw up became so intense. Immediately, I placed my hand on my mouth.
Since Roxanne was so close to me, she noticed what's happening. I need to get out of there as soon as possible.
“Clair, are you okay? You look so pale,” Daniel uttered, bringing everyone's gaze my way. Oh, no! Oh, no!
"Ouch!” Luna Roxanne exclaimed at the same.”
“Luna, are you okay?” Alpha Cannon asked wide-eyed. I could see worry in his eyes for Luna Roxanne. I should be the one he's asking because I'm the one pregnant.
“I feel a little dizzy,” Luna announced.
“Huh? Do you need to have some rest? Is it the food?” Cannon asked all at once, standing up.
Just then, she grabbed my arm.
“Clair, escort me to my room,” she stated while signaling for me to take the lead. Immediately, I walked ahead of her.
“Luna, don't you need me to escort you?”
“Oh no, my love. I need a woman by my side at this moment. Clair will do it.”
I didn't turn around but slowly walked ahead of Luna Roxanne.
As soon as we got out of the room, Roxanne walked over to me instantly.
“What the hell is wrong with you? Are you so dumb that you don't know when not to show up?” She lashed out at me.
“I'm sorry, Luna. I only wanted to report for duty and be by your side when you need my help.”
“Well, with what you did back there, did it seem like you helped me? You almost ruined my plans!”
“I'm so sorry, I promise it won't happen again.”
“Listen, from now on, I don't want you to show up whenever I'm having breakfast with the Alpha, do you understand?”
“Noted, Luna.”
“Now go back to your room and take good care of my child. I'll send someone to you later.”
**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
