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 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.
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
