FIVE: SANDRA’S POV.
It was painful!
I was broken and hurt!
How could he just act like nothing happened?
“We both had sex and he left me like that, after shooting me a cold glare?” I wondered in surprise before hissing slightly.
I had a little hope left in me after we had sex but everything disappeared as soon as he exhibited his character.
I became hopeless once again!
“Why?” I just couldn’t help but ask myself....
His act just destroyed my hope of rekindling our relationship, and make him fall in love with me.
But then—it wasn’t possible!
There was no way that I’ll be comfortable in a house like that, and I suddenly got an Idea.
The thought of running away!
That was the only thing that bothered me that instant—as I became confused on how I’d run away without anyone noticing anything.
“Where would I go?”
“Who do I know?”
“How do I escape?”
These were the only questions that bothered me deeply, and still—I couldn’t find any answers to this...
The only thing I knew was that I just had to run, and not look back because I wasn’t welcomed here.
I decided to calm down and watch how things would unfold—but I knew that if I had left immediately, it would be that I have done something unforgivable to my mother-in-law.
I also decided to calm down, who knows—my husband might end up loving me.....
All these were just a fantasy when weeks passed and he was still giving me these silent treatment.
He never waned me to stay close to him, or at least touch him.
He also avoided me as if I was a plague, but then—I didn’t have anything to say or think again.
It was painful—
I had to leave, and my mind was made up!
I’d leave tonight, when everyone was sleeping.....
I didn’t known my way around that groove, but I didn’t care much because I had all the night to myself to run away—
It’d be daybreak before they’d notice my absence, and by then—I’d have gone very far.
It was the day—so I packed all my stuffs into the box I came with and hid it in my closet without making anyone suspicious of the fact that I wanted to run.
Still, I wanted to spend time with my mother-in-law—so I went to meet her in her room and hugged her tightly shocking her to the core.
“Are you okay Sandra?” She asked and I nodded, flashing her a beautiful smile.
“You know how much I love you right?” I asked and she nodded with a smile...
“You should also know that I love you the same way,” She said making me blush...
This was the only person I was going to miss if I eventually ran away....
She was the only one who stood by me when I was in distress—so leaving her that way was hurtful.
“No matter what happens—I don’t want you to ever doubt your love for me,” I said to her making her pause and turn to stare at me confusingly.
“What’s happening?”
“Is there something you aren’t telling me?” She questioned with a narrowed eyes and I shook my head.
“Nothing at all—just wanted you to be aware of this fact,” I said, and she nodded with smiles written all over her face.
“Come here,” She said and pulled me in a tight hug.
My eyes was misty, because I felt loved in this new environment—all thanks to her.
“But then—was it right for me to repay her in this manner?” I wondered, facepalming myself in the process.
Slowly, I pulled out of the hug and kissed her cheeks before running out of her room—with happiness written all over my face.
After taking few steps out of her room—I could hear her chuckles, and for reason—I felt excited to be the reason behind them.
I suddenly thought about something—seeing Eric one last time wasn’t a bad idea...
I tiptoed to his room and saw him reading a book—he was so engrossed in the book and that was why he didn’t notice my presence.
Smiling softly, I walked out of there to my room and decided to wait for a while for everyone to fall asleep before leaving.
I tucked myself to bed, and sighed deeply when I remembered what was in store for me.
This could probably be the last time that I would sleep in a comfortable bed, but still—I needed to leave here since I wasn’t welcomed by my so-called husband.
That urge suddenly came again, and I rushed out of my bed towards the bathroom to throw up—
For some days now, I’ve been weak—and I’ve been throwing up seriously—confusing me on the kind of sickness it was.
After rinsing my mouth—I walked out of the bathroom and decided to see a doctor before eventually running away.
I needed to know the kind of sickness it was—
I sat on my bed, lost in thought as I wondered on the kind of sickness it was since it’s been a while I fell sick and my father kept saying it was because I was a rare breed of a silver omega.
When I was sure that everyone had slept, I walked out of my room with my box in my hand—and headed out of the mansion before walking out of gate slowly but quietly—
I was sure nobody was expecting me to run—and that was the main reason why the security wasn’t tight.
I carried my box on my bead until I sighted a hospital afar and I ran as fast as my legs could carry me.
I needed to get this over with!
They were going to conduct a test on me, and I wished silently that the results come quickly so I’d be able to run far before the notice my absence from the palace.
Rushing into the hospital, I sighted a nurse and called her...
“It comprises of throwing up, dizziness and weakness,” I told her the symptoms of what the problem was and she smiled and pulled me towards a room before she conducted a test on me.
It didn’t stay up to five minutes and she tapped me.
“Please wait outside while the result is being processed,” She said and I nodded, walking out of the room towards the waiting room.
I waited for what seemed like forever, before breathing in relief when I saw the nurse coming out with a paper in hand.
“Here’s the result,” She said and flashed me a smile before she walked out.
I opened the envelope slowly, and glanced at it for a second before my eyes widened in shock—
“What?” I exclaimed, the paper falling off from my hand.
Chapter 6SANDRA POV’SHow did this happen? I wondered as I opened the envelope again to cross check if my name was truly written on the envelope or if it was swapped with someone else's own.“Sandra Mac....Pregnant!!!”“How did it happen?When?”“But...” I kept on wondering. It was just once my husband Eric slept with me. I kept on thinking.“What do I do now? How will I survive with my child alone? Should I just go back home and tell my husband about it?”I kept on asking myself.A lot of thought kept on flashing in my mind, I was still so confused. After standing for minutes thinking of what to do next, I came to the conclusion that I will never go back to that house to see my husband.“I will not go back to that house, never!!” I said to myself. I have never been so proud of myself in my whole life like I was on that day even if I was still scared of how to survive alone. I have never left my house before, I was trained and groomed to be the Luna to the Lycan king.“I will have to do
Chapter 7ERIC’S POV“Hmm” I gave a sigh of relief as I fling my jacket on the bed. It was a long drive home and I was so exhausted for the day. So, I immediately went to the bathroom to get a cool shower.Few minutes later I was done and was already notified that dinner was served. I went downstairs as soon as possible to join them for dinner because I was famished.“Oh my, ohh my here he comes” one of the maids said as they saw me approaching the dining room.I noticed how tense the maids and the guards were but I couldn’t just figure out the reason why.I know how tough I can be with them at times but they never react this way. It seemed as if someone bad happened and they were all scared of telling me about it.“You dinner is really Sir” one of the guards on stand by said as he pulled out the dining chair for me to sit.I sat down and looked around but I couldn’t see anyone joining me.“Where is my mother and Sandra my bride?” I asked the guards angrily.It was so unlike them not
Chapter 8SANDRA’S POV.“What” Claire replied in shock.“Yes Claire I am pregnant, before you start judging me I found out about that when I escaped from the mansion.” I replied to her wondering what she would do next.But to my greatest surprise she didn’t scold me .“Sandra, when did you find out about this?” She asked in a soft tone like she was my mum.“I was only four out the day I escaped the mansion. I have been feeling strange the day before, dizzy, easily irritated, and some weird pains. So as soon as I left the mansion I went to the nearest hospital for a test and the nurse confirmed that I was pregnant.” There were a few minutes of silence in the house. Claire didn't say anything. It felt like she had a lot to say but was thinking of the best way to say it so I don’t get hurt or offended by it.“Hmm” Claire sighed and looked me in the eye holding my hands. “I know you are waiting for me to give you the best reply but I am also confused about what to say.” She finally brok
Chapter 9ERIC’S POV.“Where did the lady see Sandra?” I asked angrily.“Sir, I showed her the pictures of Luna and she said that she last saw her walking down the road in the early morning.” The guard replied to me frighteningly.“What? My wife walking down the road without the escort of anyone or guards?”“Yes sir”“Is that all she said? She didn’t tell you where she was going or where she went.”“Yes Sir”“Will you all get out of my sight and get to work? You came back to me with very stupid results with no trace of where she must have possibly gone.” I ordered them.“Yes Sir we would go immediately”“Go out there and find my wife and don’t even try to come back here without her all else you will all get your head chopped off. All of you!!!” I ordered them angrily.“Yes Sir” the head guard replied and went to inform the others.What could have gotten into her? Who could have made her think of leaving her husband's house? A lot of thought kept flashing at me.“Or was she kidnapped?
Chapter 10SANDRA’S POV. “Eric sent you a message?” I asked Claire, with a huge surprise on my face.It was obvious that Eric was not taking my absence likely and I was so happy about that. I knew it was going to sit well with my mother in law. She will probably be heart broken upon hearing the news but I had no other option.“No Sandra, he sent the message to one of my friends who happens to be Eric’s friend as well.” Claire replied to me.“Pls can I read it or better still you read it out” I demanded from her.“Oh no it's better you read it for yourself. I haven't read it yet. But you can read it out loud so I can hear.” She suggested it and I read it out.“Good day Mr Park, it is not a rumor anymore that my wife Sandra Mackenzie has been missing for days now. Various actions have taken place but I want y’all to put in more effort and get my wife back to the mansion. She might not have left the mansion by her own free will as soon as thought but might have been kidnapped and caged
Chapter 11CLAIRE’S POV.“Good evening Sandra” I greeted her as I walked in from work.“Welcome back home Claire.” Sandra replied to me and came to meet me at the entrance so she could help me carry the bags I was carrying.I was so exhausted from today’s work. I gave her the groceries I got and rushed upstairs to take a shower.“Pls prepare boiled rice. I will come join you after taking my shower. I am so exhausted right now, all I need is a cool shower.” She said as she climbed the stairs.“I can imagine dear, make sure you stay there for up to 1 hour. ” I teased her“What? One hour?” She asked me jokingly and we both laughed.“But you know that I am not a good cook so whatever I dish for you accept it wholeheartedly.“ She shouted so that I could hear her and I did but I didn’t reply because I knew she is a very good cook. She was only trying to make me talk but I was so tired and wasn’t ready for any long talk. I rushed into the room and went straight to the shower. While Sandra w
Chapter 12ERIC’S POV It was very late at night and everybody had relocated to there room and would probably besleeping by now but I couldn’t sleep. I tried sleeping but I just couldn’t.“It’s been weeks already and we haven’t still found Sandra. I have done everything in my power,called and message different people who have the power and are in high authority but all to noavail.” I thought out loud as I walked from one end of my room to the other.The feeling was just bad because I haven’t felt that way in my entire existence on earth. It felt like all the alliance and connections that I built for years are all in vain because non of them could do anything about my missing wife. And whenever I ask them, they just tell me we are working on it Sir.“As big as the pack house is with the whole people in it, it’s still feel empty ever since Sandra went missing.” I muttered to myself with a disappointing look on my face.I have never felt so useless all my life. My mom already told me
Chapter 13ERIC’S POV“Yes my Lycan king it’s me Luke.” Luke Lugard replied give me a wicked smile.My heart beat began to beat faster. It felt as if my world were falling before my eyes.“Who told you that you can walk into a room where I am being interviewed?” I asked angrily as I stood up.“What do you mean by that, my humble Lycan king? I heard that you were holding a meeting or rather an interview over here so I rushed down as soon as possible” he replied sarcastically.I noticed that he was trying to mock me by calling me a humble king so I didn’t give him the opportunity to do so. I humbly sat down back and listened to what he was saying even though I was boiling from inside.“Eric, oh I am sorry I meant our blessed Lycan King. Please forgive my manners for old time sake, that was a harmless mistake I promise.”“Alpha Luke please it is a punishable offense to call the Alpha our Lycan king by his name.” The head guard who happens to be my chief guard cautioned him and I could te
Final chapterKing Eric povThere was a chant from the public which signifies that the battle line has been drawn and it’s time for war. I was not ready to start any fight but Luke was not ready to give up too. I knew from the first time that Luke was after my position l. After his identity was revealed Sandra was shocked to see his face.“Luke.” She shouted. I couldn’t hear anyone's voice as I was boosting myself for the fight. The reason why I have refused to fight since I became King, is not because I was scared or not ready, it's because each day I fight anyone I remember how I had to fight my best friend to claim the position of the Lycan King. Though it was inevitable and we both trained very hard for that day only for him to give up at the last moment and make me beat him. Looking at Luke now made me realize that both of them looked alike, “It’s not possible.” I muttered to myself when I thought of possibilities Luke was my childhood friend. The whistle was blown and the fig
Chapter 108Sandra povThe moment we saw Cassie and Susan walk inside the room we both stepped out of the house. “Do you think this will work?” King Eric asked me as we were dressing up. I don’t know how sure I was about what we were about to do but I know I was very hopeful, I had so much hope because right now that’s all I can do. We were stepping out of the house when we got a message from the chief that there is someone that’s ready to face me in the fight that’ll determine if I’ll remain the Lycan King or the title will be taken away from me. I didn’t know if King Eric was ready for a fight at this stage but what’s more important is that we save my kids as fast as We can. “I accept the challenge.” King Eric said to the chief. “The challenge is tomorrow.” The head chief said to King Eric after he accepted it, I can’t believe they didn’t give him time to prepare himself. It looks like they really need him out as the King. I held his hand and turned to look at him. “I really w
Chapter 107Sandra povKing Eric and I realized that the only way to bring down Susan is to act like we have fallen for her tricks and she is winning in whatever her plot is. Looking at her face made me feel very disgusted. She looks like she was having so much fun when King Eric was treating me badly, I just know that she will think we’re dancing to her tunes already because the way she has been smiling since she sat down at the dinning is making it obvious. “We’ve not been seeing you here, looks like you’ve become serious with your life.” King Eric said to Susan, I knew he was going to ruin it because he was really against playing this game with us but we insisted that he do it because that’s the only way we can bring Susan out and expose her for all the crimes she has committed. “What do you mean by serious with my life?” Susan asked, I had to signal King Eric so that he will change whatever he has said and say the right thing that’ll make her feel better. “I didn’t mean it tha
Chapter 106Sandra povI don’t know what Cassie is up to but I’m very well prepared to see what she has for us. Seeing the popcorn that she arrived at first made me think it’s a movie night but when I concentrated very well I noticed that I was nothing close to being a movie night. “The voice, is Cassie’s.” I said to everyone in the sitting room and turned to look at Cassie who wasn’t denying it, i don’t know exactly what’s going on here but what I know for sure is that something is about to be revealed to us. I dropped my popcorn and looked at Cassie’s face even in the dark with the little reflection that I was getting from the movie I could tell Cassie was scared. I don’t know what she’s about to reveal but I know that it’s not something little. “Cassie, can you tell us what Is going on? Why are we watching you follow someone?” King Eric angrily. Instead of joining them to ask questions I concentrated more on what the video is trying to tell us. The hum from the video was so terr
Chapter 105Cassie povI don’t understand what’s going on anymore, I don’t even know what to do, since I got that information I’ve been unable to sleep well, all I keep thinking about is that day. “I really need to go see my friend.” I muttered to myself and placed a phone call across to her. “Hey Sus.” I said to her the moment she picked the call, it looked like she picked the call and was not conscious of the current situation because she was not saying anything instead I heard her conversation with someone else. I kept quiet and listened to the whole conversation with my phone recording then when she was done I ended the call. “Why is she doing this? This is the second time.” I muttered to myself feeling disappointed and sad at the same time. Susan only problem used to be that she fell for the wrong person, someone that might never love her back but seeing how evil she has become is very alarming to me. The last time I caught her felt maybe if I have a conversation with her th
Chapter 104Sandra povAfter spending about three days in the hospital i finally returned home again, as I was helped out if the car by King Eric I stood outside and looked at the mansion did a while. It seemed like my whole existence is back to misfortunes returning to the house. It was then I realized that all the evil that has happened to me only happens in this house, when I’m out of here I feel very safe like nothing can cause me pain. “Come on, let’s go in.” The sound of King Eric’s voice brought me back to reality abs we both walked inside the house. When I got in we headed slowly to the room.The moment I got to the room I gently sat on the bed because I was not yet fully recovered. King Eric stepped out of the room to take care of some work related matters, I know that what he did might cause him little trouble and might be a threat to his position as the Lycan King.“Why did you bring up the idea in the first place, do you know that with what you’ve told him to do his posi
Chapter 103King Eric povThe doctor looked like he was hesitating to give us a reply. Looking at his face made me a little scared and all I want to hear is good news. I don't care how the doctor does it. “Can you say something please?” My Mom said to the doctor angrily. Finally the doctor sighed and raised his headline that he was about to say something. “She fainted as a result of weakness, she hasn't eaten for up to two days and her bones were too weak, and from what I can see it got worse because she's always crying.” Everything the doctor said was the obvious truth so we could not argue with him. I want to know if she's okay now. “She’s okay now but she's still unconscious. It's just that…” The doctor suddenly went mute like the last line was too much for him to spill out. “Doctor ways going on? You just said she's stable so what's the but about?” I asked the doctor, sounding very worried, I couldn't imagine what the problem would be this time around. “Doctor say something.”
Chapter 102King Eric pov“Any news yet?” Sandra asked me the moment she walked downstairs, I dropped the phone and shook my head. She sighed and sat on the couch, I know that somehow Sandra blames herself for being a careless mother. She thinks If she was careful enough her kids won’t go missing. “Calm down Sandra.” I said to her when I saw the look on her face. I don’t know what the aim of the kidnappers is because they haven’t called or texted since the day they took the kids away. “I’ve been calm for days, I even suspected Susan, you know it.” Tears welled down from Sandra’s eyes as she was speaking to me, just as we were talking Cassie walked into the house. She looked like she saw a ghost from where she was coming from. “Hey, are you okay?” I asked her when I saw the look on her face. I could immediately tell that there was something wrong. Without replying to me she ran upstairs and headed to her room. Since we started looking for the twins Cassie had been of great help, tho
Chapter 101Susan povIt’s been days since I kept this kids hostage and their parents are not even doing enough to get them back, I guess that’s how much they really love the kids. I poured myself a glass of wine and headed to the sitting room so I can think of fhe next move to take.I keep saying it, taking the kids was a wrong move, I should have just killed their mom, but Luke insisted taking the kids would make them go crazy. “I shouldn’t have listened to him.” I cursed under my breath. While I was still in deep thought I heard the door bell ring. It’s been a while since I had a guest in this house, who could that be? The new girl I employed rushed to get the door the moment ste heard the door bell ring. The moment she opened the door I sighted Luke. This is really not the right time for him to visit I’m so pissed right now. “Why are you here?” I asked him angrily and dropped my glass of wine on the table. Luke sat on the couch with his leg crossed as he kept staring at me, I d
