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
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
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
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 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 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’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 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 povSeeing their reaction towards Emma made me feel bad for her, I wish I could say something to them but I had to control myself from talking or saying anything that'll make them even more pissed because from the look of things they really dislike Emma. We quietly ate without saying anything to each other. I kept stealing glances at her and I could tell she was not okay, she seemed fine but didn't look at it. Her lips were too pale. “Are you sure you don't need to see a doctor?” I asked her feeling a little worried about her. I really didn't feel good seeing her like that. She seemed really uncomfortable with the way I kept asking if she was okay. “I'm fine Luna Andra.” She replied to me sounding pissed. I could immediately tell from her tone that she was upset already. I didn't say anything to her again after seeing the way she reacted to the question I asked her. She seemed to have a lot on her mind, and it was obvious from the way she was quiet. When we were done eat
Deandra's povAfter walking out on Ryder I paused walking the moment I was out of the room then I covered my mouth with my hand struggling not to cry because the whole thing was messing with me mentally. I now have issues with Ryder almost all the time. We barely have a normal couples conversation that goes well, we always end with a misunderstanding which is beginning to irritate me. I brushed my hair backwards with my hand as I folded my hands angrily. I just want everything to end and go back to normal. I headed downstairs gently and the moment I got downstairs met Aliya looking like she was in deep thought and she stood in front of the door. I could tell there was something wrong with her from the way she was standing. “Aliya.” I tried calling her but she didn't respond to me. I called her several times and decided to go closer to her then I tapped her on her shoulder, it was then she turned to look at me. “What is wrong with you Aliya?” I asked curiously, because it was obviou
