**Alpha Cannon's POV***
I woke up feeling all sweaty. It's the same old dream again. I turned to my side and noticed Roxanne was sleeping so peacefully.
Ever since that night, I've been trying to have the same experience with Roxanne, but it's not the same Ike that night.
Though I was on heat and I almost couldn't recognize myself, but I can still recall the smell of her skin that night. It was the sweetest scent I had ever perceived. But strangely, I no longer smell the scent of her anymore, ever since that night.
I had gone over her perfumes, trying to find the smell I was looking for, but all the perfumes she had never smelled like the one I was looking for. It was becoming quite strange. At some point, I had wanted to ask her about it, but that would only make her feel like there's something wrong with me.
Asides that, the sex was wild and the best I ever had. Just what is missing. I don't just think about the sex, I also dream about it, and it's becoming confusing. Just what in the world is going on?
I heaved a long, frustrating sigh. Just then, someone came to mind, and it was none other than Clair. Earlier, when I saw her at the breakfast table, I noticed something different about her, though I can't really tell what exactly is different about her. And then, Daniel asked about her being pale. Was it her paleness?
Hold on a minute, being pale means she's not doing okay. Could she be sick?
Shit! How did I not notice this before now?
I quickly leaned over to the opposite side of the bed and reached for the table clock.
Looking at the time, it was 11: PM. I wonder if she's asleep now. I wish I had discovered this earlier. But now that I'm sure she's sick, I won't be able to have a good sleep.
I know I married Roxanne, but our marriage was nothing more than an alliance marriage, something that had been set in stone way before I was born.
In this present day, an Alpha isn't permitted to marry a woman from low birth. As the Alpha of Crestville pack and holder of the witch's powers passed down from my lineage, I had no choice but to seal off the mate bond between me and Clair way before she realizes it. I met her before she turned 18, which was good for me, and so I used the opportunity to seal off the mate bond, so she would never know I was her mate when she came of age.
This is for her own good as well as mine. I wouldn't want my mate killed right in front of me simply because she's of low birth.
For this reason, I didn't have the opportunity to chase after my true mate and the woman I loved. I was glad when Roxanne brought her to my pack as her personal maid. Though I didn't want that position for her, that's the only identity she can get for her to keep being here.
I quickly made up my mind that instant. Slowly I hopped down from the bed. Roxanne is a heavy sleeper, so she wouldn't notice whether I'm gone or not. My only worry is whether Clair is still awake.
Good thing she stays in a single room alone, unlike the other maids who share a room.
I wore my night robe and got out of my room. In order not to raise an alarm, I did a thorough investigation before setting out to Clair's room.
After some minutes of looking around and evading guards, I finally got to her room door. I can't believe I'm hiding from pack soldiers and guards in my pack. I took a deep breath before stretching out my hands to knock on Clair's door.
For some seconds, I tried to think things through. I really do not want to get her in trouble. But then the urge to see her was just too strong for me to control.
I knocked on her door, once, and when I didn't get a reply, I knocked a second time. Just as I was about to go for the third knock, the door slowly flung open.
She rubbed her eyes sleepily as she leaned on the door frame. I couldn't help staring at her night wear, which exposed her bare legs. Goodness! She had the right curves and I just couldn't control staring at them lustfully.
“Alpha Cannon, what are you doing here?!”
I quickly took my gaze up to her face to see her, staring at me with a surprised expression.
“Uhm, I came to see you,” I stated. She quickly took a peek outside the door as if trying to see if someone was coming.
“My goodness! You really shouldn't be here, Alpha Cannon, What if someone sees you coming in here?”
“No one saw me come this way. Are you okay?”
She paused and took her gaze up at me.
“Yes, I'm okay, why do you ask?”
“Because I noticed that you looked quite pale at the breakfast table. Even now, you don't seem okay. Sure you're okay?”
“Goodness, Alpha Cannon. Don't tell me you came all the way here to ask me this,” she whispered.
“Well, since you're still wary about who might be spying on us, don't you think you should let me in?”
She stared at me with a gaze that I could best describe as a shock.
“Alpha, I doubt that's necessary-”
I rushed into her room, way before she could complete her statement. She stood at the door with her back against me. I paused and turned back around to face her.
“Why aren't you coming in?” I asked, with my hands folded behind me.
“This is a dream. This can't be real?" She mumbled while still at the door. I turned around and took a good look at the room. Just then, the first thing I perceived was a scent. It wasn't just any scent, it was definitely the one I had been searching for.
I froze in one spot, trying to understand the situation. I heard the door close and Clair's footsteps as she approached. Something's not right.
Slowly, I turned around to face her.
“May I ask you a question, please?”
“Yes, but you have to make it snappy. What if Luna finds out you're missing from your bed?”
“How do you know that Luna is in my bed?”
“Huh?”
“She has her room, so why do you think she's in my bed right now?” I asked, while eyeing her suspiciously.
“Uhm, it's only natural that she might be with you. Did I say anything wrong, perhaps?”
I snapped out of my thoughts and breathed a huge sigh.
“No, you didn't. So, are you really okay?”
“Yes I am, Alpha, there's nothing for you to worry about. How about Luna, is she okay?”
I couldn't say a word at this point. I don't understand why, but I feel bad listening to Clair ask about my mate when I clearly came to see her.
“If she's okay, why don't you return to her?”
I gritted my teeth, while staring at her.
“Before I leave, I have a question to ask.”
“Please go ahead, Alpha.”
“What brand of perfume do you make use of?”
She stared at me confusedly. I must look weird asking her this, but I had to know.”
“I don't use perfume, Alpha, so I'm the wrong person to ask that question.”
“What?”
**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
