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 doing here?” I heard Hope’s tiny gasp of surprise at the mention of my name and I smirked. “I was just on my way to the kitchen when I thought I heard voices and decided to check. What are you doing here anyway?” He looked around and frowned when he saw no one then sighed. “I was just going to our bedroom to get my phone. Did you see it before leaving?” I shook my head but reached for his hand. “Can we talk?” I asked, changing the subject. I wanted to settle things between us and make sure we were back on good ground again. “I wanted to know if we were okay. I didn’t…” Daniel shook his head and pulled his hand away. “I can’t get past the fact that you threatened Hope and the baby, it’s my baby too Andra. I would never forgive myself if anything happened to the baby. I would never forgive…” he trailed off but I could hear the words he didn’t say. He would never forgive me. Tears filled my eyes but I held them back as I nodded my head. “What can I do to make it right?” “Treat Hope nicely, apologize for what you did yesterday and then we will see from there.” He walked away after speaking and I stood there rooted to the spot not believing how much my life had changed in the last two days. “Do you know it’s rude to eavesdrop on people’s private conversations?” I jerked and turned my head to look at Hope who was standing there with a triumphant smile plastered on her face. No doubt she had heard what Daniel said and she was happy that she was once again winning and I was losing. But not for long… “I already told you that Daniel will always pick me over you. Why don’t you want to accept that and move on?” I nodded and smiled. “You’re right, Daniel will never see me the same way again and I can’t blame him since I can’t give him children.” The next thing I did shocked us both ] went down on my knees and sighed. “I am sorry for yesterday, pushing you to the floor and threatening your child’s life.” I paused before continuing again, unaware that Daniel and Yolanda were watching from a distance. “Daniel was right, you are part of the family now and that child is as much mine as it is Daniel’s.” I rose to my feet afterwards, sent Hope one last smile and then walked away. I couldn't believe how low I had gone because of Daniel and the love I had for him. But the main reason behind my actions was I wanted my child to grow up with his father, I didn’t want my child to have a broken home with parents that were divided. *** I don’t know how long I stayed in the kitchen crying when Daniel joined me and wrapped his arms around me. I almost burst into tears when I felt his arms around me but I held them at bay. “Thank you for apologizing to her. I owe you for everything." I simply nodded my head and stepped away, not wanting to get swayed by his words. "I'm making dinner, would you like something?" I asked, and coughed to cover up the sniffles. "We'll all eat." He replied just as hsk mother walked in and frowned at our closeness. "Since we're celebrating, why don't we get the chef to make something big and beautiful?" Daniel agreed immediately and I was whisked away to our bedroom by Daniel who was acting all nice and friendly with me now. Later that day, we sat down to eat dinner and I was back in my usual seat beside Daniel. I was ready to tell him about the baby and I couldn't wait for us to be alone. Hope had barely touched her food and I could tell she wished she were sited so close to Daniel alas…. “Do you both have names yet? I mean for the baby whether it's a boy or a girl." Yolanda asked and my fork dropped my hand and landed on the plate noisily. Daniel shifted in his seat and refused to meet my eyes when I tried to catch his attention. Hope who loved attention took the floor and told Yolanda, “We decided not to rush things and surprise ourselves aft "Let's make a toast." Yolanda proposed and we all raised our glasses. "Oh no Deandra, I think you should drink this instead. I had it made specially for you." Hope said, suddenly rising to her feet just as a maid walked into the room.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

The situation has been giving her sleepless nights and has stopped her from associating with people so she doesn't lose control.Ryder has been her safe space and the only one she communicates with very well.“Andra, report to my office now.” Edna yelled angrily. Andra was trying not to get pissed because that would only cause her problems. She swallowed her anger and stood up from seat.“What is this nonsense!” Edna yelled angrily. Since the day Andra was hired Edna has hated her because she thinks Andra is snaky and always try to get things the easier way.“This is the exact thing you told me to do.” Andra tried to explain.“You know what I despise about you? It's how you always go about everything the easiest way.” Andra rolled her eyes angrily when she heard the same line for the hundredth time. Edna keeps repeating the same thing.“It is an easy task already, how else do I solve it?” Andra asked
Daniel pov “Mom!” I shouted at the top of my voice after looking around and Hope was nowhere to be found. “Daniel, why are you calling my name like that?” She asked angrily and walked to the sitting room where I was. “Where is Hope?” My mom sat on the couch with her legs crossed, she pretended like she didn’t hear what I said. “Why are you asking me that kind of question, am I her keeper?” My mom’s reply made me know that there was something wrong. They must have done something to her that’s why she’s nowhere to be found. “Mom, if I find out you did anything to her I will not be kind to you.” I said to her and walked away from the sitting room. I summoned all the maids to the sitting room. After asking them several times no one could tell me where she was. I felt like I was losing my mind already. Just when I was about heading upstairs I sighted her walk in with some bags, she looked dirty, even the maids looked better than her. “Hope where you're coming from looking like

She was happy about coming into the family when his wife left but now it seemed like the worst decision she has ever made. She can't invite her friends over or go over to them, because life was so much better for her before she met Alpha Daniel.“What am I doing to myself?” Hope asked herself.
