Writer’s povWhen she was done looking at her face through the mirror she finally summoned the courage to step out of the room. She needed to hear some things from her brother, she needed to know the truth, why he left her and why he didn’t say anything to her before leaving the house that night. She’s been in the dark for years waiting to get all the answers she needs from Leo and now that she has the opportunity to get the answer from him she can’t miss it. When Aliya got to the sitting room she met Andra walking down the stairs. Aliya rolled her eyes the moment she sighted Andra because she knew that they would have to talk about her brother again.“Are you sure about this?” Andra asked Aliya the moment she got closer to her. Aliya brushed her hair backwards with her hand and turned to look at Andra. It felt really hard for her to be cold to Andra but based on the plan that she had with Ryder she has to do the right thing. “Sure about what exactly?” Aliya asked. “Why are you b
Deandra’s povWhen Aliya was out of the house I couldn’t help but worry, I kept checking the time but there was no sign of Aliya yet. “Are you okay?” Clarissa asked the moment she got downstairs. She could tell from the look on my face that there was something bothering me.“I really don’t know anymore.” I said to her and placed my hand on my head before sitting on the couch. Clarissa also sat down and looked at my face. “Is this about Aliya?” Clarissa asked and without wasting time I nodded my head. “I really don’t know what happened, but she sounded really upset when we were talking, it felt like I don’t know her anymore.” I explained to Clarissa hoping to get an advice from her on how to handle the present situation. “Are you sure you haven’t done anything to upset her?” Clarissa asked. “None that I know of.” I replied to her almost immediately, I was completely confused and blank headed the more I tried to think about What happened. “Maybe you aren’t aware but she is, so I t
Writer’s pov When Aliya got into the room she felt really bad about how she spoke to Andra a few minutes ago. “Was I too strict with my words?” Aliya asked herself and rolled on the bed feeling confused. She realized she might be doing too much already compared to what Ryder said she should do because Ryder doesn't want anything that'll hurt Andra but at this point what she's doing is going to hurt Andra. “Oh my goodness.” Aliya muttered and all of a sudden remembered her meeting with Leo. She noticed from the way he was talking that something was bothering him, he looked like he was telling the truth but at the same time he kept biting his lips which has always been his lie sign. ******* Aliya’s pov When we were kids it was very hard for him to tell a lie so each time he tried to tell a lie he kept biting his lips nervously. “Was he really lying?” I asked myself, the whole thing was so complicated, I really want to know if I should try and trust him again after what he d
Deandra pov After getting the call from the police that there is a certain place that seemed suspicious and there's always a baby cry sound coming from the area every morning, which was told to the police by the neighbors. The moment we got the news the first person that crossed my mind was Aliya. I wanted to tell her the moment I got the news. I know that we've been having a rough time but I still want to tell her first. After trying to reach her several times she still wasn't picking her calls, because of that I decided to send a text. After waiting for some minutes she didn't step out of her room. I was fuming, I wanted to go to her room and yell at her for not replying to my message even though it involves the use of kids. So many thoughts crossed my mind as I was standing in front of her room. “Let's go already.” Ryder said to me and we both walked out of the house, when we got outside, I realized there was no point feeling bad anymore and maybe I can just do what I want a
Writer's povWhile Andra was driving back to the station she was fuming. The only thing that was on her mind is how she will deal with Emma.After a long ride she finally arrived at the police station. “Emma!” Andra shouted at the top of her voice. While she was shouting that the ambulance bus was leaving the station, Andra couldn't care less about what's going on and why the ambulance was at the station. “Come out you bastard!” Andra yelled angrily. “Please ma'am what's going on?” One of the police officers approached Andra trying to stop her from creating a sin, but she couldn't calm down because she was too upset. “Where is Emma?” Andra asked the police officer angrily. “Which Emma are you talking about ma'am?” The police officer asked. Andra was painting really hard trying her best not to lose it completely in the station. There was confusion in the station as they checked the register trying to find anyone named Emma but there was no one like that on the register which was
Deandra povWhile I was seated there I didn’t want to hear anything from her, all I needed was for her to be far from me because I don’t consider us to be friends anymore after what she did. If I had known she would behave in such a way towards me I wouldn’t have bothered calling, talking more of texting her. Just when I thought she might understand her fault and let me be, she had to bring up another topic that came as a shock to me.“What do you mean? I mean how is any of these my fault?” I asked Aliya while struggling to keep my emotions in check and not say anything that’ll ruin the mood.“You want to pretend like you don’t know that you started first? I became invisible to you! And when I was struggling with my breakup, where were you?” My heart sank as I listened to her yell at me, I scoffed and turned to look at her. “Struggling? You struggled? When you ended the relationship yourself, you said you were sick of him and you didn’t want to be with him again, so how should I hav
Deandra pov When we got back to the house I sat on the couch in the sitting room without saying anything to anyone, My experience in the hospital has taught me a lesson today. I couldn’t stop thinking about what Aliya said to me in the hospital. “Uggh.” I said frustrated and heaved a sigh, at this point I hate myself, maybe I have been thinking about only myself these past few days. I placed my hand on my head and rested my head on the chair. “Andra, let’s go to the room.” Ryder came to tell me and without hesitating I followed him upstairs. While we were heading upstairs I stared at Aliya’s room and closed my eyes before walking away. I shouldn’t have told her anything in the hospital, maybe she thought I was only thinking about myself but this is a total misunderstanding. When we got to the room I laid on the bed tiredly and heaved a sigh. My heart was heavy, I couldn’t even blink my eyes while thinking of everything that has been happening, but here I am staying up all nigh
Writer’s pov While we were in the sitting room, I couldn’t help but feel bad for Clarissa whose daughter is visible but she’s unable to see her. Both of us are really not in the same condition because my kids are literally nowhere to be found. “I’m so sorry to hear that.” I said to her a little above a whisper feeling bad for her, but there was really nothing I could do to help at the end of the day. I folded my hands around my chest and rested my head on the chair. I can’t believe both of us are in situations where we can’t see our children. “What happened to her dad?” I suddenly asked Clarissa. I have been curious to know what happened to him, she kept saying it was her fault that Sophie's situation got this bad and they moved because of her father’s situation but we never got to know what the situation was. “I don’t think I’m ready to talk about it.” Clarissa shunned immediately though she tried to be respectful about it. I didn’t press because I somehow had to respect her dec
Writer’s povIt’s been two weeks already and there was nothing from Ryder yet. He was yet to regain consciousness and his situation was getting scarier as the doctors were not hopeful about his situation. Instead they kept talking about hoping for a miracle because he had little or no chance of survival. “Our kids are growing faster than I imagined.” Andra said to the unconscious body laying on the bed. She would always come to update him on everything going on in the pack and how things are running smoothly with the help of Daniel and Hope who has stayed by her side all these while. “You know you’re beginning to scare me, it’s been weeks already, you need to wake up already.” Andra said and started crying uncontrollably. She was trying her best to hold in the tears but she just couldn’t. She couldn’t keep pretending to be fine and she hasn’t been able to eat well since he became unconscious. “You need to see your kids, you need to be with me and make up for lost times. Don’t make
Writer’s povThat day that the war happened and the kids were brought back it was later realized that Leo was the one holding the kids and the only reason why he came back into her life was because he needed to monitor their search, and Aliya told him everything not knowing that he was the one doing everything. She felt like she betrayed Andra and her brother was in the mix and Andra warned her not to accept her brother back, she just couldn’t believe that she didn’t worsen the whole thing which is why she chose to stay far from Andra and since then she never called or texted. “I caused it.” Hope said a little above a whisper. Andra walked closer to her the moment she heard what Hope said. “No, don’t say that Hope, at that time you didn’t think what you were doing was wrong and don’t forget you tried apologizing to her but she still chose to leave for her own peace, I know that with time she would come around and find a place in her heart to forget about the past and move on.” And
Writer’s pov“Daniel, you would go back there and tell them that you are not making any peace. Have you forgotten what his mother made us go through? Have you forgotten how your father favored him more than you? This is the time for you to get back everything and make him pay for your sufferings. “Mom, stop! Can’t you see that I’m at peace now. The people are happy, we don’t need war to be at peace with ourselves. Can’t you see that I’m happy now?” Daniel asked his mother who was being insensitive about the whole thing. “What are you saying Daniel? Can’t you see he is successfully using your head? He wants you to give up everything your father worked hard to keep for you.” When Yolanda said this Daniel turned to look at her “I told you, that day your dad said you have to promise him that you will take good care of the pack and keep his legacy?” Yolanda smiled, she just wanted to get to his head and make him stop thinking of giving up his desire of becoming the Alpha of the dagger
Deandra povIt felt like my heart was burning as I was crying upstairs. I didn’t know how to feel after what I heard Yvonne say, it was just a roller coaster of emotion piling up everything that has happened over the month. I really wanted to disappear and go far away. After crying for a while in the room I was feeling better. I felt better that I had let out everything that was bothering me, I was relieved to see that my heart was getting lighter. I stood up from the place I was sitting and headed to the kids' wardrobe. Their clothes are still smelling new. They never got the chance to wear them. It’s been months now and I don’t know anything about my kids, I don’t know if they are okay or not, instead I went to live with the people that took my kids away. When I was feeling better Ryder walked into the room. I removed my face from where he was and folded my hands around my chest angrily. I was pissed with him, I still can’t forgive him for all the horrible things that they’ve sa
Writer’s povWhile Andra was still looking at the picture a call came in. She saw how it was saved so she didn’t hesitate to pick it. “Don’t you dare prank me about falling ill, you have done it before.” Hope said to Andra while she was with Emma’s phone. Andra couldn’t believe Hope was talking to her mother like that. She was relieved to know that Emma was not lying when she said her daughter doesn’t want her in her life. “You know what? I thought you were going to change. I was ready to give you a second chance after you successfully helped me take the kids but right now I don’t think I can forgive you because you keep using your fake illness to bring me closer.” Hope scolded on the phone. Andra closed her eyes upon hearing the cold and heartless things Hope was saying over the phone; she couldn’t believe Hope could be this cold to her mother as well. She didn’t want to say anything at first but Hope kept saying she was lying when she is really struggling with her health. “She

I was too curious that I couldn’t stay in the house for another minute, from the way he sounded like it was a very serious issue so I was desperately invested in it, I needed to know what it’s all about and why I needed to go myself. If it wasn’t as important as he made it seem he would definitely lose his job. While I was heading out of the house I suddenly realized that I might not be able to leave the house without Emma asking where I’m headed and when she asks what do I tell her, I paused, rushing and started thinking of what to tell her when I am leaving. After thinking for a while I decided to just think of anything that pops up in my head at that moment and tell her. “Are you going somewhere?” Emma asked when she saw me downstairs. I stopped on my tracks the moment I heard what she asked me. “I just need to hurry down to get something.” I said to Emma trying my best to not let her suspect me in any way. “Okay, lunch will be mad
