SANDRA POV’S

How 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 this alone, I can do this by myself besides Eric never accepted me as his wife.

He despite me so much” I was able to survive the day after securing a spot to spend the night. The next morning I woke up anxious about how the day would be.

I was able to contact Claire who suggested that I come over to Glorystar City and stay with her.“Glorystar City? Isn’t that too far from home?” I asked Claire over the call.

But Claire still insisted that I come over since I said I wanted nothing to do with my husband again.“Glorystar City is the best place for you to stay hidden from the Lycan King. Remember he is very popular around.

He had legs and ears around, he built real connections with influential businessmen and women over the years.” Claire replied to me over the phone.

I was really convinced by her because I didn’t have any other alternatives and besides I wanted to be very far away from Eric even if I would definitely miss my mother-in-law.“I will come to Glorystar City and stay with you.” I concluded.

It was a long drive but eventually I was able to get there—Claire was so excited to see me I could tell from her expression. No doubt she has planned and waited for this moment all her life.

I arrived at the park and she was already there wailing and waiting for me.

“Sandra!!” She should as she waved her hands.The smile on her face was indeed priceless.

“Claire!!” I replied as I ran faster so I could get my long awaited hug from her. We gave each other a tight hug that lasted for a while—-“You look fatter”“Oh really I was just about to tell you that you look way better than the way you sounded over the phone” Claire replied to me.

“What?”“I am so stressed out, but seeing you gave me so much relief.” I said to her na we both rode in her car to her apartment. Few minutes later we arrived at her apartment.

It was much better than I expected.

“Welcome to my home” Claire said to me with so much joy in her tone. She showed me my room and took me round so I don’t get confused later on.I settled down and took a shower before coming down to eat dinner with her.

“That smells so nice” I said to her after perceiving a sweet nice smell coming from the dining room.“Yes Sandra. Come down here, the food is ready.” She replied to me and I immediately rushed down to join her in the dining.

We kept on chatting as we both ate together at the diner. Claire kept on teasing me which helped me feel more comfortable and at home.

All through the conversation I was scared to bring up the topic of my pregnancy and what to do about it.I was scared to tell her because I know how she can be at times.What if she insists that I go back to my husband which I would hate to do—-The thought of the rejection from Eric left me so sad anytime Claire called his name during our conversation.

We talked and laughed together. We were tired and exhausted after a long day so we decided to call it a day and went to our various room to sleep—-I was so sure Claire was asleep already but it was so difficult for me to sleep even when I forced it.

I kept on thinking of what could be going on in the mansion currently.Mrs Axel would be so worried and disappointed in her beloved daughter-in-law. I am so sure she will have a sleepless night.

The news about my escape from the mansion must have been like a shock to her because she wouldn’t have thought that I would do a thing like that.

I kept on rolling from one side of the bed to the other looking for the best position to sleep but it wasn’t working.I began to think of what sex the child in my womb is “Is he a male or a female?” I kept on thinking.

It was so hard but I eventually felt a little bit relieved after thinking of how much of a better parent I would be to my child.

**************The next morning I woke up happy and excited on how the day would go knowing fully well that I am as free as a bird.I came down the stairs well and felt a little bit dizzy.It felt like my head was spinning in one axis.

Everything felt so weird to me but I was familiar with it because I already experienced it once before now.I walked down the stairs gently and immediately sat down on the nearest chair close to the stairs.

I was placing my hand on my forehead when Claire came closer to me and asked me what was going on.I was caught off guard because I didn’t hear her voice or the sound of her footsteps.

“I am fine,” I said to her. It was so obvious that Claire wasn’t convinced with my answer but she didn’t push the question because she didn’t want me to feel bad.She just went to take the book that was laying on the shelf and Joined me in the living room.

I wasn’t feeling comfortable but I didn’t know how to tell her because I didn’t even share the news about my pregnancy with her.“Whurrr whurr” I sound as I rushed to the toilet to vomit.

“What is wrong Sandra?” Claire asked anxiously as she followed me to the toilet. I felt relief after throwing up a little.“I am fine Sandra” I replied.“What do you mean by you are fine? When it is clear that you aren’t.”

“Sandra, stop making things up, I said I am fine and I am serious. You know fully well that if there was any problem I wouldn’t hesitate to tell you about it”Sandra wasn’t buying whatever I was saying.

She just kept on staring into my eyes like there was something written on it.“Sandra, I said I am fine!” I screamed as I walked out of the toilet angrily.I wasn’t really sure what made me angry at that point, maybe guilty conscience because I didn't tell her I was pregnant or because of the pregnancy.

I ran to my room and shut the door before Claire came in. Claire was so shocked by my reaction towards her.She came to my room and knocked at the door but I didn’t want to open it.

I just wanted to be left alone for a while.“Pls Sandra don’t hurt yourself, you know I love you and I will always be there for you no matter what.

”Her words sounded so calmly in my ears. Those words of hers and the words I longed and craved for from Eric but he never said them to me.I couldn’t help but open the door for her.As soon as I opened the door I hugged her tight and tears welled down my eyes.

“It okay Sandra I am here and you can cry it all out”Sandra said as she patted my back trying so hard to swallow her own tears so that I wouldn’t feel more sad.

“Let it out Sandra, Let it all out. I am here now” I cried even more.“I am pregnant," I said out loud to her.”She immediately pulled me out from her chest to see my face. “You are what?”She asked surprisingly.

This time I looked into her eyes and she could tell I was serious judging from the look on my face.

“Claire, I am pregnant. I am carrying Eric’s child”
