Alpha Daniel pov“Mom, why would you tell her she’s barren when you know I made her lose the baby,” I asked my mom angrily when I heard what she told Andra on the call.Camilla brought up the idea of calling Andra because she’s the only one we suspect to be the one doing everything, from the partnership, to the stolen ledger.I told them I couldn’t call her again because she has refused to pick my call for months now.“I still can’t believe you’ve been calling her this whole time.” Hope said to me angrily. She’s been upset since I said I've been calling Andra and she refused to pick my calls.“That is not the problem now, the thing is mom ruined the call by calling her barren, now she might never pick your calls again.“Why won’t she pick my calls?” Yolanda said and picked the phone to call Andra, and just as I said the line was off.“You shouldn’t have said anything to upset her.” I said to my mom angrily and placed my hand on my head.“When did she become so rude?” Camilla asked. I
Writer’s povWhile Hope was rushed to the hospital the only thing she could think of was her baby, she didn’t care about herself rather she was more interested in the safety of her baby.She held Alpha Daniel hand tight until he was unable to enter the emergency room. Hope was taken care of and after some minutes she was out of danger. The doctor was about to step out when she opened her eyes.“Doctor, please don’t tell my husband anything. I want to be the first to know what’s wrong with me and my baby.” Hope begged the doctor.The doctor was shocked to hear what she said because there’s no way he was going to let her know the problem, when it might affect her health and make her condition worse.“That's it…” Hope cuts in.“I beg you, I don’t want him to know that I’m having a hard time.” Hope insisted. The doctor looked at her and the tears in her eyes then he decided not to say anything to Alpha Daniel.Hope was too weak to say more words so she tried to sleep.The doctor walked ou
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
