Deandra povI stretched my hand on the bed struggling to reach my phone, i was too tired to get up from the bed, so I kept stretching till I finally got my phone. “Got ya.” I whistlered and turned on the phone. I opened my eyes wider than normal when I realized I was already late for work. “Oh my goodness, how did I forget I have to go to work.” I got up from the bed immediately and rushed into the shower, I was having so much fun last night forgetting that I am resuming work today. While in the bathroom I remembered a clip of what happened last night, I placed my hand on my lips gently as i recollected locking lips with Ryder. “That was not a dream?” I asked myself and hurried my bath. When I was done bathing I dressed up immediately, and a memory flashed back from last night. I remembered hugging him really tight. “What has come over me?” I asked myself while scattering my hair frustrated, I can’t believe I did all that last night, how do I face him today? I was done dressing a
Writer’s povAndra didn’t know how to explain it to Aliya so she just thought there was no need telling her about it.“You are obviously avoiding him, it’s fine if you don’t want to talk about it but you should call him, he looked really worried.” Aliya said to me while we were at the restaurant.I don’t even know what to say to him, I just keep remembering the kiss we shared which is why I’m too shy to speak to him right now.“We shouldn’t have gone out to celebrate last night.” I muttered.“What did you say?” Aliya asked thinking I was talking to her.“Never mind.” I replied to her and placed my hand on my chin while in deep thought. I don’t know how Ryder is feeling about it and ignoring him might make him feel worse.After lunch I headed back to the office with Aliya, I was still feeling bad, when I got to my desk I picked my phone to check if he has called and he was still yet to call.“Is he upset?” I asked myself and dropped the phone back on the desk.I was not able to concent
Alpha Daniel pov“Mom!” I screamed at the top of my voice when I couldn’t find the papers I left on the center table a few minutes ago.“When will you learn that I’m your mother and stop yelling my name like I’m your child!” My mother yelled back angrily. I was not interested in hearing what she has to say, what matters to me right now is my file.“Mom, you were here with me a few minutes ago when I left those papers here, did you take them?” I asked her calmly while staring at her face to see her reaction.Yolanda did not react like she took the papers with her which got me a little scared.“I didn’t take anything Daniel.” She replied to me reluctantly and walked away. I stood there like a statue looking confused, how did the paper go missing, or did I drop it somewhere else? I placed my hand on my head frustrated as I looked around the house.“Good morning Alpha Daniel.” Hope greeted me with a smile on her face as she walked down the stairs, I was not in the mood for that. All I nee
Alpha Daniel povNone of them were responding to me even after raising my voice several times.“Can someone say something?” I asked angrily. Yolanda stood up from the couch and walked closer to me, she held my hand trying to control me from doing something stupid because she knows me better than anyone and she could already tell I was losing my patience.“You can go sit down, I will take care of them.” My mother said to me and I decided to listen.I can’t believe a stranger walked into the pack house and none of them noticed, it has to be someone that knows the pack house very well. I looked around the house and checked if there’s a place anyone can come in without being noticed, how did the person know what the file contains?I placed my hand on my head while my mom was talking to the workers. They were not saying anything impressive so she had to dismiss them.“Camilla, did you see the person’s face?” Yolanda asked. Camilla looked like she was struggling to remember what the person
Deandra povI couldn’t stop pacing around the room when Ryder left my house, I can’t believe he wants me to pretend to be his wife.“What am I supposed to do when I get there?” I asked myself and put my finger in my mouth anxiously, this is a very tough task for me even though I was married once, it’s tough and kind of traumatizing to me.“I don’t think I can do this.” I sat on the bed tiredly and sighed. Track back to the first time Alpha Daniel introduced me to his friends, I was so happy that day that my heart was about to fly out from my chest.My bright smile that day was out of the world. It was his birthday, which is his special day. He wanted me to meet his friends because he has made up his mind to be with me for the rest of his life. Well, that’s what I thought.I heaved a sigh and laid on the bed as bittersweet memories rushed back. I can’t believe he fell out of love.“I should be practicing.” I jumped up from the bed and continued pacing around, while thinking of what to
Writer’s povAndra was still not sure if asking him the question was the right thing to do because she didn’t want to make him think she was doubting him.“The night we went out to celebrate you said something that made me curious.” Andra stared at his face to see if he was finding her words offensive then she would know when to stop.“What is it that I said that made you curious?” Ryder asked Andra. Andra suddenly became quiet. She didn’t know how to reply in a way that will make him cool with her response.“Are you sure there isn’t more to the misunderstanding you have with Daniel.” The look on Ryder's face changed the moment he heard the question she asked him. There was a loud silence at the dinning as they both stared at each other in the eyes.“Why are you asking that all of a sudden?” Ryder broke the silence with a faint smile on his face.“Nothing, I just got a hunch. Maybe I am just overthinking it.” Andra replied and they heard the doorbell ring.Andra knew it was time to be
Alpha Daniel povIt’s been five days already and there’s been no trace of the guy that sneaked his way into the house. I decided to stop thinking too much about it. Instead it’s better I start thinking of a better solution so that by the time they try to use the ledger against me, I will be able to defend myself.“Good morning Alpha Daniel.” Hope greeted with a smile on her face.“You haven’t visited the hospital in a while, is there any reason why?” I asked Hope because I’ve been curious to know why she barely visits the hospital and at this stage of her pregnancy she’s supposed to be visiting there very well.“Uhmm, I was there two days ago, you’ve been too involved in the ledger case so you didn’t notice,” Hope said to me, I paused for a moment and i still can’t remember her leaving the house to visit a hospital.“Is the baby okay?” I asked her and from her silence I could already tell there might be something wrong. She sighed and let out a soft smile.“Yes, I mean what could be w
Writer’s POV Ryder was seated in his sitting room, though he was still bothered about Andra and why she reacted the way she did last night and this morning she left the house without saying anything to him. “I hope she’s okay.” He muttered and sat properly. While he was seated one of his security officers walked into the house with a file. “Good day sir, this came in for you.” He collected the file immediately and a huge grin escaped his lips. “You can go,” Ryder said to the young man and turned back to look at the file. Without opening it one could tell from his expression that it is a very important file. He opened the file without hesitating and went through it, then he brought out his phone and placed a call across to someone. “Hello best friend.” He said excitedly. “You are so shameless, how will you refer to me as your best friend when you left me here and you’re over there living your best life.” The strange person said to him, Ryder chuckled hearing how petty h
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
Deandra povI was wondering what it could be. 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
Writer’s povAfter having breakfast with Emma. Andra decided to go back to her room just maybe there will be a text message from him. She decided to turn on her phone and shockingly her phone was switched off. She was wondering why it switched off when it was on a few minutes ago. She stood up and took it to the socket where she started charging it again. While charging it she walked into the toilet ahd washed her face. While washing her face she paused for a moment and stared at her face in the mirror, she was wondering when it’ll all stop. Just when she thought her life would get better with Ryder and her babies and all of a sudden it only got worse and not only her relationship with him but her relationship with everyone in the house. She realized she might not be destined for such happiness so it’ll be better to stop dreaming about it and focus on what matters, which is finding her kids then she’ll know what’s next. She stepped out of the toilet and headed back to the room wher
Writer’s povAliya stood in the same spot after the call, she was trying to understand the situation and what he was trying to say when he told her that she has never changed from the little witch she used to be. He clearly called get the same bake that’s what broke her heart even more. She was not upset because he yelled at her or got angry because she couldn’t give him money. She was upset because he called her the said horrible name that ruined her childhood. Aliya didn’t know what to think about anymore as she stood on the same spot with her phone in her hand as she was trying to recollect everything he said to her. He sounded really upset, she could tell he was upset with the way he was talking. Did he really come back to her life to torment her or is this just a mistake from him. Maybe he was too upset which made him say something so horrible to her. Aliya couldn’t think straight as she was trying to find out why he did that, why he sounded so rude to her over the phone. She d
Writer’s pov“Andra is gone!” Ryder yelled angrily when Aliya couldn’t get what he was saying. Aliya opened her eyes wider than normal when she heard what he said. She couldn’t believe her ears. Where could she have gone to? Clarissa, who was sulking in her room as she was missing her daughter, stepped out of the room to get herself a bottle of water. The moment she stepped out of the room she sighted Aliya and Ryder looking troubled. The first thing that crossed her mind is Andra. She was hoping nothing is wrong with Andra because it’s only Andra that can make Ryder look so worried. Ryder and Aliya headed downstairs where Clarissa was gulping her water, she knew there was something wrong but she thought of minding her business but at the same time minding her business might make it look like she didn’t care. “What is going on?” Clarissa asked after contemplating for a while. Ryder turned to look at her, she could tell from the look on his face that there was something wrong. Witho
