Deandra povWhile we were heading to the house I kept thinking about Aliya and how hurt she must have been.“Do you want to go see her?” Ryder asked. I didn't think going over to her house would be a good idea because she's still very mad at me.“Let's just go to my house, she might get pissed when she sees me, I need to give her time to process everything well and know if she wants to forgive me or not.” I said to Ryder, I thought that's what she would need because she was very upset earlier and meeting with me might make her even more upset.While we were on our way we sighted two little children playing by the road side which is not safe at all.“What are they doing there?” I asked and immediately opened the car door to see what’s going on. I walked up to the kids and took them away from the road side.“Where is your mom?” I asked, they were looking at me without saying anything when a young woman showed up from nowhere, I'm their guardian. I was so pissed at the woman for letting

Aliya was the happiest among the two because she thought she finally have a sister that she never had before.“Did you get any mail from Edna?” Aliya asked the moment she jumped up from the bed. I turned to look at her and shook my head.“Did you?” I asked and she nodded her head. I moved closer to her to check the mail and see what was written in it. When I saw the mail I couldn’t hold in the laughter. “Did she really say you won’t find a better job?” I asked and we both laughed.We decided to go out to eat because there was nothing available in the house. While we were preparing my phone rang, I picked the call and checked who was calling, it was Ryder.“Hmmm.” Aliya teased and excused me so that I could freely speak to him on the phone. My cheeks were hurting from smiling too much.“We are preparing to go eat out.” I said to him as we were about to end
Daniel’s povThe day for the final decision is tomorrow. I couldn't help but feel nervous as I was sitting in the sitting room. I have tried my best by trying to get everyone on my side and hopefully they will be on my side. I heaved a sigh as I saw my mom walking towards my direction.She’s definitely coming to ask me questions because she’s also aware that tomorrow is the big day.“Camilla hasn’t returned home for two days now, and she is not picking her calls.” Yolanda said to me as she sat beside me, I couldn’t be stressed about Camilla when I have a bigger problem to face in the office tomorrow.I wasn’t responding to what she was saying to me then she looked at my face curiously.“Why do you look worried?” She asked.I heaved a sigh and rested my head on the chair. I was trying to be hopeful about tomorrow but I couldn’t help but worry.“Are you worried about tomorrow?” Mom asked and I nodded my head almost immediately. She folded her hands around her chest and heaved a sigh whe
Deandra’s povWhile we were about leaving the house, I looked around and remembered the first day I got to this human would and how scared I was to speak to anyone because I thought they would try to hurt me or I might lose control and they would find out who I am.It was such a bad moment for me, but looking back now I’m happy I came here and if I hadn’t I wouldn’t meet a sweet person like Aliya. We both held hands and entered the car.While we drove out I couldn’t stop feeling nervous, the feeling of meeting those that hurt me stroke me really hard because I want to see their reaction when they see my face, I want them to feel like their world is collapsing the moment we set eyes on each other.I turned to look at Ryder as he was driving and let out a soft smile then I rested my head on the car window.*********Few hours later we arrived at the pack. I was fast asleep already. “Andra.” Aliya tapped me and I opened my eyes.When I opened my eyes I noticed the environment we’re in ha
Andra’s povI didn’t move from the spot where I asked him the question because I was really interested in getting a reply from him. I felt like it had gotten to the point where he should reply to me.“Can we at least sit down before having that conversation?” Ryder said to me and we both headed to the pool side. I sat down and folded my hands across my chest waiting to hear what he had to say.I didn’t want to pester him too much, I was willing to give him time to think before saying what he had to say.“My name is Ryder Dagger.” I opened my mouth and covered it immediately with my hand, I couldn’t believe what I just heard him say, he is Alpha Daniel’s brother.“Do you know who that name belongs to? How are you bearing the same surname as Alpha Daniel?” I tried to confirm before jumping into conclusions.But the more I think about it, the clearer it gets. He always had everything, I remember clearly one time we were talking about the pack, he knew so much I never expected him to know
Writer’s pov“Mom, there’s no need to be scared, I heard he hasn’t been around for a long time, there’s no way the board will pick him over me.” Daniel said to his mom with so much confidence. Today decides his fate whether he steps down and someone else takes over or not. Even though Alpha Daniel was pretending not to be bothered he couldn’t help it, he was only hopeful because it’s not over until it is. He still felt some of them would betray him but at least not all will. “You know we can’t be too sure.” Yolanda said to him while trying to help him arrange his shirt collar. Yolanda looked around the sitting room and Hope was nowhere around, is she not supposed to be here to help her husband? Why is she nowhere to be seen around the house? “Where is that young lady?” Yolanda asked, referring to Hope. Just when she asked, Hope walked down the stairs. She knew that Yolanda was upset from the look on Yolanda’s face. “Where were you? Can’t you see that we’re all set to leave?” Yola
Writer’s povThe board meeting was ongoing and Alpha Daniel couldn’t get his eyes off Ryder; he kept looking at him during the board meeting, which was very obvious. “We will now start the vote casting.” The board head announced and they started casting their votes on who will be the company’s director. Alpha Daniel closed his eyes, he was unable to see what was going on because he was too nervous. There was only one vote left. Alpha Daniel opened his eyes to see who the person would be voting for. He looked at Adrien who wasn’t getting up from his seat. Everyone was curious to see who the vote would go to. Adrien stood up from the chair to cast his vote and to the surprise of everyone Including Alpha Daniel, he voted for Ryder. Alpha Daniel folded his hand angrily, that was the last vote that’ll make him retain his position as the director but Adrien ruined it for him. “Now the votes are in and we have a new director of the Daggers.” The board chairman announced excitedly. Yoland
Deandra povRyder was away for the board meeting. Meanwhile, Aliya and I were yet to get a message from him to know how the meeting went. I know he would have called if there was something bad, but his silence seems like good news. “Are you worried?” Aliya asked. I turned to look at her and dropped my glass of wine. “I would be lying if I say I’m not.” I replied to her and heaved a sigh, this is a big step for us, if only he can get the company getting the rest wouldn’t be hard and this will keep them rattled. “We can’t lose it.” I muttered to myself and turned to look at Aliya. It was time for lunch but I wasn’t able to eat it because I was too nervous and stressed at the same time. I walked to the dining room with Aliya and sat on the dining table with her. Aliya was comfortably eating her food but I couldn’t, I kept imagining the worst while I was seated at the dinning. I picked my phone to check if there’s any message from him but there wasn’t. I dropped the phone back on the
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

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.

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.

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.

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
