Deandra pov I was waiting patiently to hear what he would say to me. “Oh, he wouldn’t be able to tell me if I’m terminally ill.” I muttered to myself and closed my eyes. I didn’t know why my thoughts were so negative. Ryder was done talking to the doctor so he walked into my ward looking a little down, I could tell he was not happy to hear what the doctor said to him. “The doctor…” “Don't tell me, I don't want to hear it.” I said to him immediately trying to stop him from telling me the bad news because I wasn't ready to hear it. “I have to tell you so that we will know what to do about it.” He said he was trying to convince me to listen but my mind was already made up, I wasn't ready to hear what he had to say. “I really don't want to hear it right now, the thought of dying is really scary.” I said to Ryder, almost tearing up already. Ryder looked shocked to hear me say such a thing to him. “Who said you were dying? Oh my goodness, can you not carry a child withou
Deandra povFew days later. Ryder, Aliya and I moved into the pack house. Aliya was the most excited one, I couldn’t kill her joy with the horrible stories because she has no experience of what they can be like, so I just let her enjoy the moment. “Oh my goodness, I can’t believe we would be living here.” Aliya said to me while looking around the house. “You said the same thing when we first returned.” I reminded her. Aliya chuckled when she heard what I said, but I know she could tell I was being too serious with the whole thing compared to how she’s taking it. “I mean it this time.” Aliya added with a smile on her face. Our luggage was still in the sitting room as we were waiting for the rest of the family to return home. Minutes later Alpha Daniel, Yolanda and Hope returned home.Yolanda looked shocked to see Ryder. That was when I remembered Ryder told me how she hated him so much. I turned to look at Ryder, I could tell he was only trying to mask his pain with confidence bec
Deandra’s povThe dinning was very tense, I could sense Daniel was still fuming after hearing what Ryder said to him. No one said anything while we were eating. I kept stealing glances at Hope to see her facial expression, and shockingly she didn't look bothered.“What did you promise Adrien?” Daniel asked all of a sudden and everyone's ear opened like they were waiting for Daniel to ask the question.Ryder turned to look at me, I knew a day would come when this topic would come up, I was wondering why he has asked any question all these while.“Why would you ask such a question?” Ryder asked Daniel. Daniel was quiet for a minute when he heard Ryder’s response to his question.“You know I have been wondering why he has always been too hard headed towards me, that day just confirmed my doubts, now I know that he was working for you.” Daniel said. He was really trying to bring up Aiden’s name during dinner.“Can you stop talking about Aiden, I have nothing to say to you, if you have any
Alpha Daniel’s povThe news of her pregnancy was so shocking that I couldn’t sleep all night. I kept thinking of how they met and when they got so close that she’s expecting a baby already. It seemed really hard to believe, I didn’t want to believe it but on the other hand she had no reason to lie about it. “Looks like you’re still worried about the love of your life expecting another man’s child.” Hope said to me. How is she still awake by this time?“Can you please mind your business and stop trying to piss me off every time.” I said to her angrily and rested my head properly. I could tell she was very happy about the news of Andra’s pregnancy.“Remember you ruined what you two had before, stop trying to get what you can’t have.” She said to me and finally went to bed. I angrily looked at her and stopped myself from saying anything to her because it won’t change anything if I begin to exchange words with her. I decided to go to bed and think of what to do during the day because th
Writer’s povWhen Ryder was done collecting the keys from Daniel he rushed to the room where Aliya and Andra were waiting for him. “My goodness, I was so scared.” Andra said to him the moment he walked into the room. She was so scared that he would not be able to get the Keys because Daniel can be so petty sometimes and start asking too many questions then end up not giving it to him. “Did he find you suspicious?” Andra asked almost immediately. Ryder shook his head, Andra was surprised because that’s definitely unlike him. “Now that you have this, what’s next?” Andra asked curiously. “He’s seated in the sitting room, if I try to go in there right now he might want to go in with me, we have to come up with a better plan to distract him.” Ryder suggested. The three of them started thinking of what to do and how to get him distracted because they were running out of time already. “Let’s do it this way, Andra you will go talk to him while Aliya and I go to the room.” Ryder suggested
Alpha Daniel pov The next morning. I woke up to the elders in the pack house like there was a serious issue at hand. “What’s going on?” I asked Hope who was also looking shocked and scared at the same time. “I really don’t know, but I think it’s better you don’t go there, they looked very upset.” Hope said to me and started pacing around the room.“Where’s mom?” I asked and just immediately we heard a knock on the door. “It’s me, open the door.” We heard mom say gently. Hope rushed to open the door and Yolanda walked into the room. “Mom, what’s going on?” I asked Yolanda curiously. She sat on the bed hopelessly like something big was about to happen. “Mom, please say something.” I said to her while she was still not saying anything to me. “It’s over Dan.” She said almost in a whisper. My heart skipped. I felt like my blood flow stopped for a minute as I tried to wrap what’s going on around my head. “I don’t understand what you’re saying, I woke up this early morning to the sho
Deandra povI couldn’t believe my ears when I heard what Daniel said to me. After the pain he caused me, he still had the guts to say such horrible and harsh words to me. Even though I wasn’t going to accept him into my life anymore I still wanted to forgive him with the thought that he had changed, but judging from the way he spoke to me I realised I was only delusional about his changes, he’s always going to be the evil and annoying Daniel he has always been.“Let’s go pack our things.” Yolanda said to Daniel and they both walked upstairs. “Come here,” I said to Ryder trying to help him get back on his feet after the hard punch Daniel threw on him. Aliya was at the other side of the sitting room watching the whole drama, she wasn’t involved in it so I told her not to get involved so she doesn't get added to her opp list. “Did you get injured?” I asked Ryder, trying to check up on him. “I’m fine, I let him have his way this time, the next time he tries this, I won’t let him get a
Deandra povIt still felt like a nightmare to me that Daniel had finally moved out of the house. The revenge I have been waiting to carry out finally happened. He lost everything including the house, I don’t care what his next step would be, I’m rather excited about the little victory I got. “Come here.” Ryder said to me and we hugged each other for a very long time. “I’m so happy and I know mom would be happy too.” Ryder said almost in a whisper while he was hugging me. We released ourselves and sat on the couch then Aliya walked towards me with a glass cup and wine on the other hand. She wants us to celebrate our victory. “Why don’t we call Adrien over.” Aliya suggested, today is supposed to be a happy day but I guess it had suddenly been ruined because of the news Ryder is about to break to Aliya. “What? It’s fine if you want it to be just us.” Aliya said with a smile on her face, though I could tell she was not as happy as she tried to make herself look. “Adrien left to attend
Deandra povI couldn’t understand what was going on even though I wanted to. Ryder has never told me anything about having a family, he only told me he had someone he used to call mom and she has a daughter and they are not in the country but he never told me they were so close. They returned to the pack and instead of going to their mansion they chose to stay in the pack house. I didn’t find that reasonable in any way. I had to send him a message so that he can return downstairs because I don’t trust them at all. I can’t believe I will be having dinner with complete strangers.“I saw your text so I had to return downstairs.” Ryder said to me while panting, he looked so stressed, I could tell the whole thing was stressing him out as well, so I decided not to be a bitch and just go with the flow, as long as they don’t trouble me there will be peace, I just have to take it for two days. “Two days Ryder.” I reminded him. “Yes, two days.” He replied to me assuring me they’ll be leavin
Daniel’s povI couldn’t stop pacing around the room because I was very pissed at Yolanda, she has been suffering from such an illness and she never bothered to tell me anything. After finding out a few days ago when she was found unconscious in her room I have been unable to sleep.She has been in a hospital in the pack closer to the woods because we had to pretend to be someone else, if not we would be allowed inside the pack because it was all round that we were exiled from the pack.I stepped out of the room after pacing around for a while, it’s something I can’t get over and such a situation has made my hatred for Ruder worse because my mom would have told me about her I’ll was and get proper treatment if she was still the Alpha’s mother.The moment I stepped out I noticed everyone had already gone to bed, I sat outside and had a lot on my mind, where do I start from with my revenge plan? what do I do first?I kept asking myself questions that I have no answer to, the most import
Deandra pov I tried my best keeping my cool for so long but I think it’s never helped me, instead it’s made me look weaker than I really am. I couldn’t hold it in this time because they were saying more than they should already. “Who else would I be asking such a question?” I replied to him immediately. “You don’t know me, you don’t know anything about me, so don’t you dare sit down there and call me names because you don’t know me!” I said to him angrily and made a fist, it’s the absolute first time Ryder is seeing me like this I guess nothing could stop it this time. “Hey, come on, why are you getting worked up over something I was joking about.” The young man tried to make it look like I was taking it too seriously when it’s just a harmless word. “You and I know that you weren’t joking,” I said to him angrily. Though I was ready to quit the topic and head back to the house, I needed to do it the right way because that’s the only way he would know that he was really annoying.
Writer’s povYolanda was still thinking of the move to take, she knew that it would not go the way she wants if she keeps telling Daniel to stay away from Andra because it seems like he’s not giving up anytime soon. It was very exhausting for her but she had no other choice but to take that step to protect her son since he has refused to be smart about it. “Mom are you okay?” Daniel asked when he met his mother in deep thought, she raised her head to look at him and walked away. Since that day she has stopped talking to him, she only serves his food and walks away. “Mom, are we going to keep doing this? Come on, we are not children, if you’re with me tell me instead of giving this silent treatment.” Daniel said to his mother as she was walking away. Yolanda paused walking and turned back to look at him, she was wondering if he’s really stupid or he’s too slow to understand that what he is doing is the reason why she has stopped talking to him. Even though she’s thinking of a soluti
Deandra povI knew coming here would turn out like this but I was ready to take the risk, his words were hurtful but I expected them so I wasn’t too upset. “You don’t need to ask for my help before I know you need it.” I explained to him, sounding a little upset, Ryder couldn’t stop sighing while I was seated there which made me feel some type of way, it’s fine if he says what’s on his mind rather than sighing and makes me feel burdened.“Andra, you have your own thing to worry about and that’s your health and that of the baby, what would I do if anything happens to both of you?” He asked calmly. He was slowly calming down when he sensed he was becoming too mean with his words. “My baby and I are fine. I could tell from the way you were talking yesterday that you were really bothered by the loss the company is facing so I just thought I would be able to help the little way I can. Please don’t refuse my help.” I pleaded, I don’t want to have any regrets, which is why I took the bold
Deandra povAfter the conversation I had with Ryder yesterday I finally decided to show interest in the company. Maybe when we work together we would be able to work out something that’ll help the company. While Ryder was leaving the house I watched him without saying anything because I knew he would definitely stop me. “See you later.” He said to me before leaving and pecked me on the forehead. I smiled and waved goodbye while still thinking of how he would feel when he sees me in the office today. After he left the house, I stood up and hurried downstairs to eat breakfast. While eating I kept thinking about the whole situation because I needed a good reason before I left the house. While waiting I decided to place a call across to the Indian investors. They’re the ones I have a good relationship with so it’ll be better I call them, hopefully they would still be interested in the company. After dialling the number I stopped myself again, it was so hard for me to bring myself to ca
Deandra povI couldn’t believe my ears, I was dumbfounded, was it a bad idea to be worried about your husband? I kept asking myself questions, I needed to know where I was wrong but not now, right now I don't want to see his face. “I'm sorry Andra I just…”“Please go away.” I said to him Interrupting whatever it is he was planning to tell me. I just couldn't hear his voice at this point, it has to be my most embarrassing moment since we've had a misunderstanding. I can't believe he yelled at me with such a tone when I was only worried about him.“Andra.” I turned to the other side of the bed showing my lack of interest in what he had to say. Ryder didn't push it anymore he walked out of the room, but almost immediately he walked back into the room and sent everyone away until it was just both of us left in the room. “Did you not hear what I said?” I asked him angrily, even though I was pleased he didn't leave the room like I told him to. “I need you to hear him out, I didn't want t
Deandra pov“Are you not happy to see me?” Hope asked. I folded my hand around my chest angrily when I heard the question she asked me. I wonder what she’s doing here. She lowered her eyes and paused when she stared at my belly. “Looks like the baby is kicking well.” She said to me and chuckled. I know she’s not genuinely happy for me so why is she pretending to care?“That doesn’t answer my question. Hope, what are you doing here?” I asked her angrily. The fake smile on her face slowly faded and her true personality was finally out. “I came here to show you my face, I need you to remember how you ruined my life.” I couldn’t believe my ears. What does she mean by that? If we want to talk about a ruined life wouldn’t that be mine?“You know very well that you are not welcome here, your husband and his mother were exiled so what are you doing here?” Ryder asked angrily. He was even more upset because she was acting like it is her right to be here in the first place. I didn’t want Ryd
Writer’s povYolanda covered her mouth with her hand when she had an idea of where her son was, they were just talking about it before he left the house, then he took the initiative of going there immediately, she was hurt and disappointed at the same time, it became clear to her that her son had no initiative of handling such situations especially when they’re in such a mess. “Mom, I have told you she’s innocent, I was watching them over the months and I know that she had no hand in what happened, it was all his doing.” The moment he stopped talking Yolanda landed a heavy slap on his cheek with the intention of bringing him back to his senses. Daniel was shocked that his mother laid her hands on him for the first time. He was startled with his hand still on his cheek and his mom regretting her actions already. “Why do you keep making me do the things I hate the most? Why do you keep making me do these things?” Yolanda asked angrily as she was already regretting the slap she gave hi
