Deandra’s POV“Congratulations, Luna, you’re pregnant,”I blinked a few times after that announcement and took a few deep breaths but nothing could quell the rush of emotions inside of me at that statement.Who would believe it?I had been feeling pretty sick for weeks now and if Daniel hadn’t pushed me to do this, I probably wouldn’t be here right now, receiving the best news in my life. For three years since I had been married to Daniel, Alpha of the Dagger pack, he and I haven’t had a child in all those years.It wasn’t as if we never tried, it was just that we never could have them. Daniel always joked that maybe it wasn’t our time but secretly I could see that he wanted a child just as much as I wanted one.“Luna, is everything alright?” The head doctor at the pack clinic asked to pull me out from my reverie and I shook my head in the negative.“I’m fine,” I assured her. I was more than fine, I was happy. This news meant so many things and the point at the top of the list was tha
Deandra’s POVI was so sure that I was dreaming because there was no way that these images on my phone were real. There was no way Daniel would betray me like that, or at least that was what I told myself as I scrolled through the five pictures I had received from the unknown number.In all five pictures, Daniel was there with his childhood friend, Hope, which was nothing out of the ordinary since they were usually inseparable. Rather, it was what they were doing that was completely shocking and took my breath away. In the first picture, Daniel was caressing Hope’s protruding belly and they both had wide grins on their faces.Again, this picture would have been completely normal if Hope wasn’t wearing a sash that read “Mom to be” around her body. Daniel had a matching sash around him too but his read“Dad to be”.The second picture was even more heartbreaking and showed more evidence of what was happening in the first picture. The two of them were holding an ultrasound picture with bi
Deandra’s POVDaniel was waiting for me when I got back.“Where were you?” he fired as soon as I walked into the room but I ignored him, my mind swirling with thoughts of that mystery man and just how much he knew about my life with Daniel.“I’m talking to you,” Daniel yelled and I scoffed, rising to my feet to acknowledge him.“You shouldn’t take that tone of voice with me, especially since you’re at fault.”At my words, he frowned but I wasn’t going to give him time to construct words that would soothe my mood like he always did. I pulled the pictures out from my phone, thanking the stars I had bothered to save them.“How could you do this to us?” I screamed, throwing the phone against his chest.He caught it and stared at the screen; surprise evident on his face.“How did you….? How long have you known?”I scoffed and shook my head. How was that the most important question right now? “is that all you’re going to say about that?” I asked him, the disgust I was feeling evident in my
Deandra’s POV“I told you not to come here, we can’t be seen like this.” I stopped in my tracks and hid behind a wall wondering who Hope was talking to. “Hope, that’s my child in there and you know it.” I gasped a bit too loudly and caught myself just in time before I was discovered. “Keep quiet,” Hope hissed and looked from left to right.This shameless woman, I thought as I listened to their conversation. I should have known the baby wasn’t Daniel’s but he had been so confident that the child was his that I never suspected anything. “If anyone hears you, our plan will be ruined.” She looked around again before she leaned in and whispered, “I want what’s best for this child and so do you so why don’t you just take the money and leave?” I shook my head in disgust at that and left my position behind the wall ready to go and confront her when I heard footsteps coming from the opposite direction. I could practically hear Hope’s heart racing loudly in her chest “Andra, what are you
Deandra's POVEvery fiber of my being was at alert as I stared at Hope.Something felt off.I was confused by the new turn of events but I didn't want to read too much into it either."What's in it?" I asked, feigning interest and she smiled.“It's something I took before I got pregnant. I hear it's very good for pregnancy.""Oh you should have that instead. Lord knows you need it." Yolanda added eagerly, an insult buried somewhere in her words and I sighed looking to Daniel for help."Just take it. You never know what might be useful." He said his tone innocent and I almost cried. He wasn't aware of what these people around him were capable of."Go on," Hope urged and my suspicion grew.Why was she so eager for me to drink it?"Look, I didn't put anything in it." She defended as she reached for another glass I hadn't noticed before. "I made a cup for myself just in case you had doubts."Daniel frowned and I sighed. She was trying to create a rift between Daniel and I again and this t
Deandra povThe human world was very different from what I thought it would be like, they were very accommodating and I almost forgot about my species. “Andra, why are you seated here?” Ryder asked me when he got back from a business meeting.“I had a lot on my mind so I came here to cool it off.” I replied to him as we both went into the house. It's been a very emotional period for me, thinking about the things that happened in the pack and how my once-happy family turned sour. “Are you still thinking about him?” Ryder asked as we both sat on the couch. “It's hard not to.” I replied almost immediately. The only thing that I could think of is how to get back at him for what he put me through. I want him to go through pains just like I did and as for Hope, I'll make sure she goes through hell.“It's fine, I know it's hard for you to move on after all that has happened, I just need you to be calm.” Ryder advised me. Ryder had been the one calming me down so that I don't end up doing
Deandra povIt’s been months now since I moved out of Ryder’s mansion. It hasn’t been easy struggling all by myself but I have to do it because I want to do everything myself and not depend on anyone.“I need to work this time.” I muttered to myself as I was all dressed up for another job hunting. I walked out of the room and headed to the kitchen where I made a quick breakfast so I could eat before leaving the house.It was just me in the house, I couldn't believe I had to do everything on my own. I placed my hand on my belly because if my baby was still there I would have been expecting him/her to be my next best friend.Sadly the monster made me lose my baby. I decided not to ruin my mood by thinking about Daniel and my baby because remembering everything always ruins my mood and I don’t want it to ruin my mood this morning.I was done with my breakfast so I rushed out of the house and entered a bus. While on the bus I sat down and placed my head on the window hoping for good luck
Deandra pov“I got the job!” I screamed on the phone. Ryder was quiet for a moment after hearing what I said, I wasn’t expecting such a reaction from him over the phone.“Are you there Ryder?” I asked.“Hey, it’s good news. I mean, it’s a good thing, now you can live comfortably.” He said to me, sounding very unenthusiastic. I know why he wasn’t happy ahd I wasn’t going to push him to say more.He’s been trying to convince me to live with him but I have refused which is the reason he’s sounding like that.“Ryder, you’ve done a lot for me, even without knowing much about me, which is why I chose not to be a burden to you anymore and see, I got the job.” I said to him trying to convince him to be happy with me.“I understand you Andra.” I let out a soft smile and ended the call.While heading back home I was very excited. Stopped by the store and bought some things for myself. It felt good because for a moment I could finally forget the hurt I’ve been nursing.The night view in the huma
Writer’s povYolanda was still thinking of the move to take, she knew that it would not go the way she wants if she keeps telling Daniel to stay away from Andra because it seems like he’s not giving up anytime soon. It was very exhausting for her but she had no other choice but to take that step to protect her son since he has refused to be smart about it. “Mom are you okay?” Daniel asked when he met his mother in deep thought, she raised her head to look at him and walked away. Since that day she has stopped talking to him, she only serves his food and walks away. “Mom, are we going to keep doing this? Come on, we are not children, if you’re with me tell me instead of giving this silent treatment.” Daniel said to his mother as she was walking away. Yolanda paused walking and turned back to look at him, she was wondering if he’s really stupid or he’s too slow to understand that what he is doing is the reason why she has stopped talking to him. Even though she’s thinking of a soluti
Deandra povI knew coming here would turn out like this but I was ready to take the risk, his words were hurtful but I expected them so I wasn’t too upset. “You don’t need to ask for my help before I know you need it.” I explained to him, sounding a little upset, Ryder couldn’t stop sighing while I was seated there which made me feel some type of way, it’s fine if he says what’s on his mind rather than sighing and makes me feel burdened.“Andra, you have your own thing to worry about and that’s your health and that of the baby, what would I do if anything happens to both of you?” He asked calmly. He was slowly calming down when he sensed he was becoming too mean with his words. “My baby and I are fine. I could tell from the way you were talking yesterday that you were really bothered by the loss the company is facing so I just thought I would be able to help the little way I can. Please don’t refuse my help.” I pleaded, I don’t want to have any regrets, which is why I took the bold
Deandra povAfter the conversation I had with Ryder yesterday I finally decided to show interest in the company. Maybe when we work together we would be able to work out something that’ll help the company. While Ryder was leaving the house I watched him without saying anything because I knew he would definitely stop me. “See you later.” He said to me before leaving and pecked me on the forehead. I smiled and waved goodbye while still thinking of how he would feel when he sees me in the office today. After he left the house, I stood up and hurried downstairs to eat breakfast. While eating I kept thinking about the whole situation because I needed a good reason before I left the house. While waiting I decided to place a call across to the Indian investors. They’re the ones I have a good relationship with so it’ll be better I call them, hopefully they would still be interested in the company. After dialling the number I stopped myself again, it was so hard for me to bring myself to ca
Deandra povI couldn’t believe my ears, I was dumbfounded, was it a bad idea to be worried about your husband? I kept asking myself questions, I needed to know where I was wrong but not now, right now I don't want to see his face. “I'm sorry Andra I just…”“Please go away.” I said to him Interrupting whatever it is he was planning to tell me. I just couldn't hear his voice at this point, it has to be my most embarrassing moment since we've had a misunderstanding. I can't believe he yelled at me with such a tone when I was only worried about him.“Andra.” I turned to the other side of the bed showing my lack of interest in what he had to say. Ryder didn't push it anymore he walked out of the room, but almost immediately he walked back into the room and sent everyone away until it was just both of us left in the room. “Did you not hear what I said?” I asked him angrily, even though I was pleased he didn't leave the room like I told him to. “I need you to hear him out, I didn't want t
Deandra pov“Are you not happy to see me?” Hope asked. I folded my hand around my chest angrily when I heard the question she asked me. I wonder what she’s doing here. She lowered her eyes and paused when she stared at my belly. “Looks like the baby is kicking well.” She said to me and chuckled. I know she’s not genuinely happy for me so why is she pretending to care?“That doesn’t answer my question. Hope, what are you doing here?” I asked her angrily. The fake smile on her face slowly faded and her true personality was finally out. “I came here to show you my face, I need you to remember how you ruined my life.” I couldn’t believe my ears. What does she mean by that? If we want to talk about a ruined life wouldn’t that be mine?“You know very well that you are not welcome here, your husband and his mother were exiled so what are you doing here?” Ryder asked angrily. He was even more upset because she was acting like it is her right to be here in the first place. I didn’t want Ryd
Writer’s povYolanda covered her mouth with her hand when she had an idea of where her son was, they were just talking about it before he left the house, then he took the initiative of going there immediately, she was hurt and disappointed at the same time, it became clear to her that her son had no initiative of handling such situations especially when they’re in such a mess. “Mom, I have told you she’s innocent, I was watching them over the months and I know that she had no hand in what happened, it was all his doing.” The moment he stopped talking Yolanda landed a heavy slap on his cheek with the intention of bringing him back to his senses. Daniel was shocked that his mother laid her hands on him for the first time. He was startled with his hand still on his cheek and his mom regretting her actions already. “Why do you keep making me do the things I hate the most? Why do you keep making me do these things?” Yolanda asked angrily as she was already regretting the slap she gave hi
Andra povI couldn't believe what was going on, so much that I started to ask myself if I was seeing wrongly. “Did I do anything wrong?” Ryder asked, he looked like he was trying to leave so that I don't stress too much while telling him to leave. “No, don't go, I wasn't talking to you.” I said to him trying to stop him from leaving the house, it felt like I was losing my sanity all of a sudden, I couldn't wrap my head around what just happened. Ryder didn't look like he saw him because I would be able to tell if he had seen Daniel. “You really didn't see him?” I asked to confirm. “See who?” Ryder asked, looking worried already. I didn't say anything when I noticed he really didn't see him. “It's fine, never mind.” I said while I was still trying to understand what just happened. “Are you sure you're okay?” Ryder asked. “I want us to leave here, I can continue my treatment over there, I don't want to stay here anymore.” I said to Ryder pleading that he lets us leave the hospit
Andra pov“Good morning.” Ryder greeted with a bright smile on his face, we were yet to sort out misunderstanding but we were still having good conversations.“Good morning Ryder.” I replied to him and stood up from the bed tiredly. I have been having serious pains since last night and this morning it had only gotten worse.I gently headed to the toilet with my hand on my waist, it was really a struggle for me to get to the toilet.When I got into the toilet I placed my hand on the vasin struggling not to scream as the pain had only gotten worse.“Andra, are you okay?” Ryder asked. I didn't want to reply to him but I was in too much pain so I couldn't hold it in anymore.“I'm not.” I said to him, still struggling.Ryder rushed into the toilet and helped me out of the toilet. When we got out he immediately asked for help and Emma rushed into the room to help as well. I was in severe pain at that point and it's not even nine months yet.I couldn't stop screaming while they were helping
Writer's povIt was almost complete, the thing Daniel has worked so hard to achieve over the month was almost complete, he will finally become the Alpha again. “Good morning Alpha Daniel.” One of them greeted them and they were resuming work for the day. Daniel couldn't stop smiling after hearing the greeting because it made him realise he's still the Alpha and soon he will be able to take his revenge again. Daniel went back into the house after standing outside for a long time in deep thought. The moment he got into the house he met his mother sitting on the little couch they made and it looked like she was in deep thought. “Mom, are you okay?” Daniel asked, a little worried. His mother raised her head to look at him when he asked the question. “Are you really asking me that?” Yolanda asked angrily. Daniel was wondering why she sounded so angry. “Mom, I'm only worried about you, why do you sound like we are having a misunderstanding?” Daniel asked curiously after his mom sounded
