**Clair's POV***“Theo, did you hear what Luna said? From now on, I will not suffer like I used to.”“And you believe in Luna?”“Huh? I don't think I understand what you're trying to say.”“Don't tell me you believe her, she said she'll set you free, and she's forgiven your mom.”My heart sank that instant. “Theo, I've never known you to be someone who played tricks or played with someone's feelings. Why should you say something like that?”“You think I'll lie about what I had just said. What will be my gain for that? You've been with Luna the longest, but then, it seems like you still don't know her well enough.”“By well enough…what are you trying to insinuate?”“Since she confiscated your phone and made it impossible for you to reach out to anyone, I bet you had no idea what's going on.”I sat up straight on my bed. “Tell me, what I shouldn't know. Please, Theo.”Theo shut his eyes and breathed a long sigh. “One of the pack soldiers, who's my friend, told me that everyone in the
***Alpha Cannon's POV***“Great witch. How did you know I wanted to seek you out?”“I felt it a long time ago, and I have been waiting patiently for your arrival. But when I noticed you weren't coming, I had to come to you myself.”“Thank you for coming, great witch.”“Why do you still call me a great witch? I'm your grandmother for Goodness’ sake!”“I know, grandma, but since I'm the Alpha and you address me as one, it is only right that I address you in the same way as well. Don't you agree?”My grandma made herself comfortable on the chair. Her old veins look clearly visible now. “Canny, you're going through so much. Why didn't you come to me?”“I didn't want to bother you with my problems.”“Nonsense! How could you even say that? Your problems are my problems and hence you should never fail to tell me about what you're going through. We only have ourselves now since your parents' death.”“I know, Grandma.”“Good! Finally, you call me what I want to hear. But Canny…" She trailed w
**Roxanne's POV**“My protection? Protection from what exactly?”“Can you listen to me and let the guards come with you?”“Why should I? I mean I need a good explanation for what you're trying to do? Tell me why I need protection? Who is coming after me?”“I don't know yet, but this is a clear warning from the witch. I don't want anything to happen to you or my child. Don't you get it?”I raised my brow at his statement. What exactly was he talking about? What could the witch have told him to make him this panicked?Was this truly about me or are we talking about someone different? Why do I have a feeling that this was definitely a different case? No doubt it must be a different case. Because if it were to be the same, then this means whatever the witch told him couldn't have been about me but about Clair. How convenient. How could Something like this happen now? I need to find a way to get out of this situation as soon as possible before it gets out of hand. There must be a way to
***Roxanne's POV***“Not to worry, you know I've always been careful ever since we've been meeting here.”“I know, but you know just how scary Alpha Cannon can be. I mean, what if he finds out about us?”I froze under his touch and slowly raised my head up to meet his worried gaze. “It's been two years already. What are you so afraid of? We've survived this long, haven't we?”“Yes we have, but it's different this time, Roxy. You took a risk that could very well make or break you and us. At this point, we just have to be extra careful with whatever we are doing?”“And we are being careful enough. You're just being worried about nothing. Now, let me tell you something that's more scary.”“Cannon had his men on me and I left them at the entrance of the mall,” I burst into laughter after saying that. “What? Did you leave them at the entrance of the mall? Why would you do that? Don't you know it's too dangerous?”“Hey, why are you all panicking right now? I just told you I got rid of the
**Alpha Cannon's POV**“What's going on? I thought I told you to keep watch over Luna?”“Alpha, that is all we did, but I think there's something wrong.”“What do you mean?” I asked, confused. “Luna was at the mall earlier, and she asked us to keep watch outside since she'll be going in to get what she wants. On her request, we waited outside. But it's been an hour since she got in, so I decided to send the rest of the men to find her, but she's nowhere to be found.”“What?” I quickly got up from my seat. I couldn't believe what I had just heard. There's no way someone in a shopping mall would disappear just like that. “Are you sure you did a thorough search? You can't tell me she disappeared into thin air just like that.”“I can't lie to you now, Alpha. She's truly nowhere to be found, no matter how hard we searched everywhere in the mall.”I creased my brow in a frown. If this was true, then there's something going on that I don't know about. “Is there a back door to the mall?”
**Alpha Canon's POV***“Listen, she's about to go on a trip with her mom. I knew she didn't want to take anyone with her, and that could be because she didn't want me or anyone to find out what she's up to. Tessa, you're her personal maid now. I'm going to leave the task to you.”“Not to worry, Alpha. I know she might want to stop me from coming with her, but trust me when I say I'm not going to let her out of my sight for even a second.”“I'm glad to hear that, Tessa. But as much as you are planning to do this, I want you to be careful. Roxanne can be so cunning, I do not want you to get caught. You know what she's like.”“I know exactly what she's like, Alpha. I'll try my best not to get into her trap.”“Good! Then I'm going to count on you.”With that settled with Tessa, I really hoped that she would be my breakthrough to find out whatever it is Roxanne was hiding. I was so sure this trip wasn't about her mom or therapy like she claimed. God help her if It's something different fr
***Clair's POV***The voice of the other person sounds like that of a female, and the voice, for some reason, sounds so familiar. Just who was it?I moved closer, and I unknowingly stepped on a branch on the ground, which distracted them both. Theo was the first to turn around in shock. “Clair, what are you doing here?” He asked. Just as he turned around, who he was discussing with, also looked in my direction. To my greatest surprise, the person I had just laid eyes on was no one else but Tessa.”“Hold on a minute. Tessa, is that you?”When she saw me, she instantly went wide in shock and quickly ran over to meet me. “Oh my goodness! I couldn't believe my eyes. Is it you? It's truly you, Clair,” she ran towards me and pulled me into a tight hug. “Oh goddess. I thought something bad had happened to you. I thought you died, for goodness’ sake. Just what on earth happened?” She asked with a sobbing voice. I wish I could tell her all what happened, but that would take a while. She r
***Alpha Cannon***“Wait a minute, what did you just say?”“I'm so sorry, Alpha, it's all my fault that I couldn't keep up with Luna Roxanne.”Though Tessa had reported all what happened during the trip with Roxanne, for some reason, I had the feeling that she was actually hiding something away from me, though I was unable to find out what it was.”“Tessa, did you get caught by Roxanne, perhaps? Why do I have the feeling that you're actually hiding something from me?”“I wasn't caught. I was cautious.”“Tessa, you promised not to lie to me, didn't you?”She looked at me for a brief moment, and then she took her gaze downwards. I don't know exactly what she was trying to hide, but it was so obvious that she was trying to hide something. “Is it so hard that you can't say it out loud?”“Not that I can't say it out loud, I'm just scared of saying it.”“My goodness, is it that bad that you can't talk about it?”“Not really. It's just that I promised I wasn't going to say anything.”“Is th
