*****A Year Later*********Alpha Cain****“Cain, what are you doing outside? It's cold, why don't you come in?” I took a glance at the woman calling to me and smiled. She had been with me for so long, and I can't begin to imagine how I would have survived without her by my side.”“Hey, why are you staring at me that way?”“Why? Does my gaze make you feel nervous?” I asked with a smile. “You certainly know that. Your gaze is always so penetrating that I always forget my surroundings,” she stated shyly.“Then I'm honored.”“What? Why would you say that?”“Because your love is something I have always craved, and now that I have it, I can't let it go for the world.”“You know I'll never stop loving you because we are mates?” Diane said as she rested her head on my shoulders. Mates? Right, that's the only confusing part of everything. She said she was my mate, but I can't remember that she was my mate. The last time I remembered, I was still mated to her sister, so I got confused as to

*****Alpha Cain*****I couldn't contain my anger when Gina came in front of me.”“Can you explain to me what happened to your sister?”“I'm so sorry, I know I have disappointed you in this regard. Believe me, I have searched for her for over a year now. Up to this very moment, my heart hurts for my sister, who I might not be able to see again. You have no idea just how bad I feel, Alpha Cain,” Gina suddenly burst into tears in front of me. I hate to see women cry in front of me, but this is a serious matter. How can I let it slide when Diane could really be dead as was reported? “You shouldn't be crying now. You should rather look for your sister. I warned you, didn't I?” I asked you to release her, but you refused. What does this mean? You no longer obey my command, is that it?”Gina immediately fell on her knees with tears in her eyes. “I know I've done something unforgivable, Alpha Cain, but please have mercy on me. I'm hurting badly as it is. I never meant to hurt my sister thi

******Gina's POV*****I managed to convince Alpha Ryan that I could go to the pack by myself. And if he felt it was too much of a risk, then he could call me on the phone. This was because, since it would be my last time visiting my parents' pack before I embarked on my mission, I needed to check again just in case there was really a spot that I had missed. Even though I've searched a thousand times. If only there was a room to go into, I would have gone there, but the houses have been burned down, so I cannot tell exactly where to search and where not to. I paused when. I realized that I hadn't really been to the burnt houses. How on earth didn't I think about searching through the ruins? What if that had come from the remnants in the house as well? This won't do, I need to search for them as soon as possible. Immediately, I went into the burnt houses. Even though the house was burnt beyond recognition, I could still locate where my dad and mom's room was actually located. The mom

*****Alpha Cain's POV*****“Well, Alpha Cain, I guess I'll see you around,” Ryan immediately turned around and began walking towards his car. I stood there dumbstruck and at a loss for words. What the hell is going on? How did Diane know Alpha Ryan and know each other that she was going with him in his car? I watched as Alpha Ryan got in and drove off. This won't do. There's no way I'm losing her this time.I quickly got into my car, which was parked outside the pack house as well. I secretly traced Alpha Ryan's car. I needed to know where he was taking her. Whatever relationship they have cannot be that simple. Did Diane finally find her mate? And could that mate have been, Alpha Ryan.The thought of Ryan and Diane together, holding hands or even kissing immediately got me getting my car to a halt immediately. I was losing it. This can't be. All I needed to do was to find out whatever relationship they had going on. Everything still seemed quite complicated and mysterious to me.**

*****Alpha Cain's POV****I have been working late in my office ever since that day. I needed to draft a good proposal for Alpha Ryan. The last project we did together was a success. As the goddess would have it. We stumbled on each other once again. This time I plan to seize the opportunity presented to me. I'm not letting go of anything in the world.I took a glance at the time as it was almost done. It was 9: PM. I guess this was perfect timing. All I need to do is tie up loosed ends and call it a night. Suddenly, I heard a sharp knock on the door. I creased my brow because I surely wasn't expecting anyone at that time. Fox had been busy with pack matters that we barely ever met. My gamma and delta are also busy carrying out other businesses, so I don't see any reason why anyone would come to my office at this time. Another knock on the door snapped me from my thoughts.“Yes, come in,” I replied. I took my face back to my work, and just then, the door slowly cracked open fro
