Daniel povIt’s been months already and we were yet to conclude the pack we have been building.“Why don’t you rest for a few minutes, you’ve barely slept for five days.” Yolanda said to me, handing a cup of water to me. I collected the cup of water and gulped it until the cup was empty. “I’m fine mom.” I replied to her and continued what I was doing. She sat down beside me and watched me for a while. It was very uncomfortable having her there because she looked like she was worried. “Mom, why don’t you take the kids to the already built area.” I said to her and continued what I was doing. She heaved a sigh and excused herself. The moment she walked away I turned to look at her. I knew she was worried about me because I have barely slept for some days, but how will I sleep when I still have a lot to achieve?“Sir Daniel, why don’t you rest a little, I will take over from here.” One of them said to me, I knew that mom had already convinced him to come help which is why he came. She
Daniel povI was shocked to hear what the young lady said, I was all sweaty thinking she must have heard the conversation between me and my mother. “What do you mean?” She was asked. The young lady lowered her head without saying anything. I let out a faint smile trying to end the chaos going on. I started thinking of what to do. “It’s fine, she must have been hurt deeply by the death of her sister.” I said to them trying to stop them from questioning her so she doesn’t talk too much incase she actually knows the truth. “You know what I’m talking about!” She yelled again angrily. This time with her voice louder than the first time. I realised it might be more serious than I thought. I walked closer to her. “Hey, look at me.” I said to her as she was avoiding eye contact with me. While I was still waiting for her reply and woman stepped forward and held her hand. I changed my attention to the woman when I noticed the way she was holding the young girl. “She’s my daughter.” The you
Deandra povRyder has been too busy with both work and the pack issues that he no longer has time for me, we barely spend up to thirty minutes together and when it’s time to go to bed, he doesn't bother talking first because he’s too tired to. The whole thing was mentally draining for me because this is the time I need him the most. I heaved a sigh and rested my head at the top of the bed waiting for him to come upstairs so we could have a conversation. After waiting for about thirty minutes he was still not up yet, so I angrily went to bed without waiting again. *********The next morning. I woke up tired while he was all dressed up for work. “Hey.” He said to me with a bright smile on his face and pecked me on the forehead. I was really upset with him and wished he could notice I was upset. “What were you doing downstairs all by yourself?” I asked curiously. He looked surprised to hear the question I asked. “Have you forgotten the foreign investors I talked about the other da
Writers povThe distance between Ryder and Andra started to grow even bigger, they were beginning to lose interest in always being around each other, so much that Andra stopped waiting for Ryder before they ate dinner. It kept going on for days without Ryder realising that there was something wrong. It was the weekend and Ryder already planned he would be spending the whole day at home with Andra. He woke up very early and sat in the sitting room waiting for her to wake up. He didn’t wake her up because he was trying not to bother her. While waiting in the sitting room Aliya stepped out of her room and sighted him in the sitting room. She was surprised he was seated there, it’s been a while since they saw him spend time at home because he’s been super busy with work. “Are you that shocked to see me at home?” Ryder asked Aliya with a bright smile on his face. She nodded her head immediately when she heard the question he asked. Ryder was slowly realising that it’s been a while sinc
Deandra povWhen I got into the room still angry Ryder walked in almost immediately and met me looking pissed in the room. I stood up from the bed angrily and headed into the bathroom. I can’t believe he still has no clue he is doing anything to piss me off. “Andra, is there a problem?” He finally asked the moment I stepped out of the toilet. I glared at him and sat on the bed. “What’s she here for?” I asked angrily. Ryder looked rather shocked to hear the question I asked like he was expecting me to be grateful rather than asking questions.“I was being thoughtful, have you been very stressed lately? I just thought getting you a help would be useful.” He explained to me, I was even more pissed after hearing what he said. I can’t believe he still can’t figure shit out. “Wait… is there something you’re not telling me? Cos you look really tense even when I’m trying to explain the situation to you.” I brushed my hair backwards angrily. I was very pissed at this point, only trying to h
Writer’s povRyder was shocked to hear Andra’s tone. He was wondering why she yelled like that on the phone. “Hey, chill… I just got home.” He replied calmly and without wasting time Andra ended the call. She was upset and a little embarrassed because she thought wrongly. “Why did I have to call at the wrong time?” Andra muttered angrily as she dropped her phone on the bed. Though she was upset, realising that he was already home before she called made her feel really embarrassed. She laid on the bed waiting for Ryder because she knew he would be on his way to her room. While she was still thinking of what to do, Ryder opened the door and walked into the room. Andra didn’t look towards his direction when he walked into the room because she was still upset with him. She noticed he came upstairs with something but she couldn’t care less as she was upset. “Andra, please we need to talk.” He said calmly with a little mad tone. Andra could tell he was trying to suppress his anger whi
Deandra’s povThe misunderstanding between both of us just kept growing wider because it was hard for me to understand from his own point and he was still not ready to understand me too, so instead of talking things out to avoid a more serious misunderstanding we both decided not to talk to each other about it. It was already dark and time for dinner. I stood up tiredly, and then heard a knock on the door. I thought it was Ryder but Ryder would never knock before walking into the room. “Come in.” I said tiredly to the person knocking on the door and Emma walked into the room. I heaved a sigh the moment I sighted her. I don’t know why I keep getting this feeling anytime I see her, and I don’t even know who she is yet. “What do you want?” I asked curiously while she was standing in front of me without saying anything. “I’m sorry… I..” I stopped her from talking when she started with an apology. “Why do you always apologise first? Did I say anything wrong by asking a question? You k
Writer’s pov Ryder was worried about Andra so much that he couldn’t have dinner properly, he kept thinking about what she might be doing at the moment and the thought of leaving without saying anything to her was taunting him. He wished he told her something before leaving the house. “She must be really mad.” Ryder muttered and heaved a sigh. “Hey.” Adrien walked into the room and tapped Ryder on the shoulder. “What are you doing here all by yourself, we’re supposed to be downstairs waiting for them.” Adrien said to Ryder concerned, he could tell there was something bothering Ryder from the look on his face it was very obvious. “I think I messed up again.” Adrien was curious to know what’s going on the moment he heard what Ryder said. “What are you talking about? I mean what do you mean by you fucked up again?” Adrien asked, really concerned. Ryder sighed when he noticed how worried Adrien was. “I think Andra and I are drifting apart and it’s somewhat uncontrollable.” Adrie
Deandra’s povWhile the doctor gave me something to ease the pain, Ryder walked back to my ward and sighted me laying on the bed still feeling little pain. I just preferred the pain to stop but it wasn't stopping completely, somehow I realized it might be labor already. I let out a faint smile so that Ryder would stop worrying because from the look on his face I could tell he was scared. “How are you feeling now?” He asked worriedly. “Better than earlier I guess.” I said to him softly. Even after trying to make him think that there was nothing wrong with me, I could still tell he wouldn't stop worrying, the way he looked at me and shook his head made me realize that something was really wrong. “Is there something you want to tell me?” I asked him with a faint smile on my face, I was trying not to make it obvious through his facial expression that I was curious to know why he was looking that way. “Andra.” He called my name softly and sat on the bed, through his actions I could al
Writer's povWhile Ryder was running upstairs. He kept hoping it wouldn't be something serious and he was wondering what it would be this time around. It's like the third crisis she's had since the pregnancy and every time she is always in serious pain. “Ryder, is there something wrong?” Clarissa asked why he was running upstairs but Ryder was so focused on where he was headed that he could not reply to her. Clarissa and Sophie did not hesitate to join him in going upstairs. When he got to the room he met Andra on the bed struggling in pain.“Hey calm down, I'm here now," he said to her calmly. Sophie and Clarissa walked into the room and also saw Andra in pain but Sophie was not interested that she is having pains. She was more interested in how beautiful the room looked and the interiors. Clarissa was a little worried but she didn't want it to show because of Sophie. She knows how Sophie took it the last time when Clarissa and Andra got close so she did not want such a thing to
Deandra povAfter dinner I was in the room with Ryder who was rather too quiet, It seemed like something was bothering him.“Are you okay?” I asked him curiously and worried when I noticed the way he was behaving. “I'm good, just a little worried,” He said to me while taking off his clothes.“What's bothering you?” I asked curiously.“There’s just something different about her, she wasn't like this at all.” Ryder said to me, I could immediately tell who he was talking about.I was unable to say anything because I don't think I'm in the best position to talk when I have been unable to talk to her since she got here.“What difference did you notice?” I asked.“A lot of differences, maybe growth changed her a lot, but the Sophie I used to know was very calm and sweet, but right now I feel like I'm seeing a different person in her.” Ryder explained to me, after hearing what Ryder said I realized she might just be having a hard time settling her and that's why she's acting so differently.
Writer's povIt got serious as Clarissa and Aliya were trying to calm Andra down. Clarissa was very scared seeing Andra in such State at this point she realized she knew nothing about Andra and her past which is why she's so scared seeing Andra in such a situation.“Andra, look at me, calm down.”Aliya said to Andra. Emma rushed to get her a glass of water so that she could calm down. When the water was brought she gulped it immediately and slowly she was able to calm down.Both Aliya and Clarissa were happy to see her getting better at this point. Clarissa started to regret her actions and made her wish she talked to Andra a little calmly.“I'm sorry for putting you in such a state. I never imagined something like this would happen.” Clarissa apologized to Andra immediately she got better. She was truly sorry for what she did and for speaking to Andra in such a tone.“It's not your fault you don't have to apologize.” Andra said to Clarissa she knew very well that at the end of the da
Deandra POV The moment I got to the sitting room I sighted Sophie with two other girls. I was shocked to see that she is already inviting guests over.“What's going on here?” I asked curiously and they all turned to look at me. Sophie was not moved by my words, instead she acted like she didn't hear me say anything.“You heard me Sophie.” I said to her angrily. I knew from the start that Sophie and I wouldn't get along well but I wasn't expecting it to be this early. I don't know why but it's obvious she doesn't like me and she's not giving me the chance to get close to her. “What now? I'm not allowed to bring my friends over?” Sophie asked angrily. I smirked upon what she said. I can't believe she started this so early. We don't even know each other yet. “Stop making it a big deal Sophie I never Said your friends are not allowed here I would only prefer if you talk to me first about it.” I said to her trying to wrap it up because obviously we had guests and I was trying my best no
Deandra povThe next morning. I woke up almost forgetting that we now have strangers living with us though they’re his family but they are complete strangers to me. And that young girl he calls his sister I know too well that she has something up her sleeves. I stood up from the bed and walked out of the room. Ryder had already left for work so it was just me and them in the house, Aliya barely had time to spend in the house because of her work. The moment I got downstairs I sighted both of them on the dinning. “This is going to be hard for me.” I muttered to myself and paused walking, but thinking about it very well, if I don’t treat them well Ryder wouldn’t be pleased because they helped him when he needed it the most. I passed the dining area and headed inside the kitchen, while I was passing my eyes met with Clarissa’s but we didn’t say anything to each other. I know they don’t like me, I can feel it. I picked a bottle of water and gulped it immediately. I was suddenly not in
Deandra povI couldn’t understand what was going on even though I wanted to. Ryder has never told me anything about having a family, he only told me he had someone he used to call mom and she has a daughter and they are not in the country but he never told me they were so close. They returned to the pack and instead of going to their mansion they chose to stay in the pack house. I didn’t find that reasonable in any way. I had to send him a message so that he can return downstairs because I don’t trust them at all. I can’t believe I will be having dinner with complete strangers.“I saw your text so I had to return downstairs.” Ryder said to me while panting, he looked so stressed, I could tell the whole thing was stressing him out as well, so I decided not to be a bitch and just go with the flow, as long as they don’t trouble me there will be peace, I just have to take it for two days. “Two days Ryder.” I reminded him. “Yes, two days.” He replied to me assuring me they’ll be leavin
Daniel’s pov I couldn’t stop pacing around the room because I was very pissed at Yolanda, she has been suffering from such an illness and she never bothered to tell me anything. After finding out a few days ago when she was found unconscious in her room I have been unable to sleep. She has been in a hospital in the pack closer to the woods because we had to pretend to be someone else, if not we would not be allowed inside the pack because it was all round that we were exiled from the pack. I stepped out of the room after pacing around for a while, it’s something I can’t get over and such a situation has made my hatred for Ryder worse because my mom would have told me about her illness and get proper treatment if she was still the Alpha’s mother. The moment I stepped out I noticed everyone had already gone to bed, I sat outside and had a lot on my mind, where do I start from with my revenge plan? What should I do first? I kept asking myself questions that I have no answer to, t
Deandra pov I tried my best keeping my cool for so long but I think it’s never helped me, instead it’s made me look weaker than I really am. I couldn’t hold it in this time because they were saying more than they should already. “Who else would I be asking such a question?” I replied to him immediately. “You don’t know me, you don’t know anything about me, so don’t you dare sit down there and call me names because you don’t know me!” I said to him angrily and made a fist, it’s the absolute first time Ryder is seeing me like this I guess nothing could stop it this time. “Hey, come on, why are you getting worked up over something I was joking about.” The young man tried to make it look like I was taking it too seriously when it’s just a harmless word. “You and I know that you weren’t joking,” I said to him angrily. Though I was ready to quit the topic and head back to the house, I needed to do it the right way because that’s the only way he would know that he was really annoying.
