Chapter 6
SANDRA POV’S
How did this happen? I wondered as I opened the envelope again to cross check if my name was truly written on the envelope or if it was swapped with someone else's own.
“Sandra Mac....Pregnant!!!”
“How did it happen?When?”
“But...” I kept on wondering. It was just once my husband Eric slept with me. I kept on thinking.
“What do I do now? How will I survive with my child alone? Should I just go back home and tell my husband about it?”
I kept on asking myself.A lot of thought kept on flashing in my mind, I was still so confused. After standing for minutes thinking of what to do next, I came to the conclusion that I will never go back to that house to see my husband.
“I will not go back to that house, never!!” I said to myself. I have never been so proud of myself in my whole life like I was on that day even if I was still scared of how to survive alone. I have never left my house before, I was trained and groomed to be the Luna to the Lycan king.“I will have to do this alone, I can do this by myself besides Eric never accepted me as his wife.
He despite me so much” I was able to survive the day after securing a spot to spend the night. The next morning I woke up anxious about how the day would be.
I was able to contact Claire who suggested that I come over to Glorystar City and stay with her.“Glorystar City? Isn’t that too far from home?” I asked Claire over the call.
But Claire still insisted that I come over since I said I wanted nothing to do with my husband again.“Glorystar City is the best place for you to stay hidden from the Lycan King. Remember he is very popular around.
He had legs and ears around, he built real connections with influential businessmen and women over the years.” Claire replied to me over the phone.
I was really convinced by her because I didn’t have any other alternatives and besides I wanted to be very far away from Eric even if I would definitely miss my mother-in-law.“I will come to Glorystar City and stay with you.” I concluded.
It was a long drive but eventually I was able to get there—Claire was so excited to see me I could tell from her expression. No doubt she has planned and waited for this moment all her life.
I arrived at the park and she was already there wailing and waiting for me.
“Sandra!!” She should as she waved her hands.The smile on her face was indeed priceless.
“Claire!!” I replied as I ran faster so I could get my long awaited hug from her. We gave each other a tight hug that lasted for a while—-“You look fatter”“Oh really I was just about to tell you that you look way better than the way you sounded over the phone” Claire replied to me.
“What?”“I am so stressed out, but seeing you gave me so much relief.” I said to her na we both rode in her car to her apartment. Few minutes later we arrived at her apartment.
It was much better than I expected.
“Welcome to my home” Claire said to me with so much joy in her tone. She showed me my room and took me round so I don’t get confused later on.I settled down and took a shower before coming down to eat dinner with her.
“That smells so nice” I said to her after perceiving a sweet nice smell coming from the dining room.“Yes Sandra. Come down here, the food is ready.” She replied to me and I immediately rushed down to join her in the dining.
We kept on chatting as we both ate together at the diner. Claire kept on teasing me which helped me feel more comfortable and at home.
All through the conversation I was scared to bring up the topic of my pregnancy and what to do about it.I was scared to tell her because I know how she can be at times.What if she insists that I go back to my husband which I would hate to do—-The thought of the rejection from Eric left me so sad anytime Claire called his name during our conversation.
We talked and laughed together. We were tired and exhausted after a long day so we decided to call it a day and went to our various room to sleep—-I was so sure Claire was asleep already but it was so difficult for me to sleep even when I forced it.
I kept on thinking of what could be going on in the mansion currently.Mrs Axel would be so worried and disappointed in her beloved daughter-in-law. I am so sure she will have a sleepless night.
The news about my escape from the mansion must have been like a shock to her because she wouldn’t have thought that I would do a thing like that.
I kept on rolling from one side of the bed to the other looking for the best position to sleep but it wasn’t working.I began to think of what sex the child in my womb is “Is he a male or a female?” I kept on thinking.
It was so hard but I eventually felt a little bit relieved after thinking of how much of a better parent I would be to my child.
**************The next morning I woke up happy and excited on how the day would go knowing fully well that I am as free as a bird.I came down the stairs well and felt a little bit dizzy.It felt like my head was spinning in one axis.
Everything felt so weird to me but I was familiar with it because I already experienced it once before now.I walked down the stairs gently and immediately sat down on the nearest chair close to the stairs.
I was placing my hand on my forehead when Claire came closer to me and asked me what was going on.I was caught off guard because I didn’t hear her voice or the sound of her footsteps.
“I am fine,” I said to her. It was so obvious that Claire wasn’t convinced with my answer but she didn’t push the question because she didn’t want me to feel bad.She just went to take the book that was laying on the shelf and Joined me in the living room.
I wasn’t feeling comfortable but I didn’t know how to tell her because I didn’t even share the news about my pregnancy with her.“Whurrr whurr” I sound as I rushed to the toilet to vomit.
“What is wrong Sandra?” Claire asked anxiously as she followed me to the toilet. I felt relief after throwing up a little.“I am fine Sandra” I replied.“What do you mean by you are fine? When it is clear that you aren’t.”
“Sandra, stop making things up, I said I am fine and I am serious. You know fully well that if there was any problem I wouldn’t hesitate to tell you about it”Sandra wasn’t buying whatever I was saying.
She just kept on staring into my eyes like there was something written on it.“Sandra, I said I am fine!” I screamed as I walked out of the toilet angrily.I wasn’t really sure what made me angry at that point, maybe guilty conscience because I didn't tell her I was pregnant or because of the pregnancy.
I ran to my room and shut the door before Claire came in. Claire was so shocked by my reaction towards her.She came to my room and knocked at the door but I didn’t want to open it.
I just wanted to be left alone for a while.“Pls Sandra don’t hurt yourself, you know I love you and I will always be there for you no matter what.
”Her words sounded so calmly in my ears. Those words of hers and the words I longed and craved for from Eric but he never said them to me.I couldn’t help but open the door for her.As soon as I opened the door I hugged her tight and tears welled down my eyes.
“It okay Sandra I am here and you can cry it all out”Sandra said as she patted my back trying so hard to swallow her own tears so that I wouldn’t feel more sad.
“Let it out Sandra, Let it all out. I am here now” I cried even more.“I am pregnant," I said out loud to her.”She immediately pulled me out from her chest to see my face. “You are what?”She asked surprisingly.
This time I looked into her eyes and she could tell I was serious judging from the look on my face.
“Claire, I am pregnant. I am carrying Eric’s child”
Chapter 7ERIC’S POV“Hmm” I gave a sigh of relief as I fling my jacket on the bed. It was a long drive home and I was so exhausted for the day. So, I immediately went to the bathroom to get a cool shower.Few minutes later I was done and was already notified that dinner was served. I went downstairs as soon as possible to join them for dinner because I was famished.“Oh my, ohh my here he comes” one of the maids said as they saw me approaching the dining room.I noticed how tense the maids and the guards were but I couldn’t just figure out the reason why.I know how tough I can be with them at times but they never react this way. It seemed as if someone bad happened and they were all scared of telling me about it.“You dinner is really Sir” one of the guards on stand by said as he pulled out the dining chair for me to sit.I sat down and looked around but I couldn’t see anyone joining me.“Where is my mother and Sandra my bride?” I asked the guards angrily.It was so unlike them not
Chapter 8SANDRA’S POV.“What” Claire replied in shock.“Yes Claire I am pregnant, before you start judging me I found out about that when I escaped from the mansion.” I replied to her wondering what she would do next.But to my greatest surprise she didn’t scold me .“Sandra, when did you find out about this?” She asked in a soft tone like she was my mum.“I was only four out the day I escaped the mansion. I have been feeling strange the day before, dizzy, easily irritated, and some weird pains. So as soon as I left the mansion I went to the nearest hospital for a test and the nurse confirmed that I was pregnant.” There were a few minutes of silence in the house. Claire didn't say anything. It felt like she had a lot to say but was thinking of the best way to say it so I don’t get hurt or offended by it.“Hmm” Claire sighed and looked me in the eye holding my hands. “I know you are waiting for me to give you the best reply but I am also confused about what to say.” She finally brok
Chapter 9ERIC’S POV.“Where did the lady see Sandra?” I asked angrily.“Sir, I showed her the pictures of Luna and she said that she last saw her walking down the road in the early morning.” The guard replied to me frighteningly.“What? My wife walking down the road without the escort of anyone or guards?”“Yes sir”“Is that all she said? She didn’t tell you where she was going or where she went.”“Yes Sir”“Will you all get out of my sight and get to work? You came back to me with very stupid results with no trace of where she must have possibly gone.” I ordered them.“Yes Sir we would go immediately”“Go out there and find my wife and don’t even try to come back here without her all else you will all get your head chopped off. All of you!!!” I ordered them angrily.“Yes Sir” the head guard replied and went to inform the others.What could have gotten into her? Who could have made her think of leaving her husband's house? A lot of thought kept flashing at me.“Or was she kidnapped?
Chapter 10SANDRA’S POV. “Eric sent you a message?” I asked Claire, with a huge surprise on my face.It was obvious that Eric was not taking my absence likely and I was so happy about that. I knew it was going to sit well with my mother in law. She will probably be heart broken upon hearing the news but I had no other option.“No Sandra, he sent the message to one of my friends who happens to be Eric’s friend as well.” Claire replied to me.“Pls can I read it or better still you read it out” I demanded from her.“Oh no it's better you read it for yourself. I haven't read it yet. But you can read it out loud so I can hear.” She suggested it and I read it out.“Good day Mr Park, it is not a rumor anymore that my wife Sandra Mackenzie has been missing for days now. Various actions have taken place but I want y’all to put in more effort and get my wife back to the mansion. She might not have left the mansion by her own free will as soon as thought but might have been kidnapped and caged
Chapter 11CLAIRE’S POV.“Good evening Sandra” I greeted her as I walked in from work.“Welcome back home Claire.” Sandra replied to me and came to meet me at the entrance so she could help me carry the bags I was carrying.I was so exhausted from today’s work. I gave her the groceries I got and rushed upstairs to take a shower.“Pls prepare boiled rice. I will come join you after taking my shower. I am so exhausted right now, all I need is a cool shower.” She said as she climbed the stairs.“I can imagine dear, make sure you stay there for up to 1 hour. ” I teased her“What? One hour?” She asked me jokingly and we both laughed.“But you know that I am not a good cook so whatever I dish for you accept it wholeheartedly.“ She shouted so that I could hear her and I did but I didn’t reply because I knew she is a very good cook. She was only trying to make me talk but I was so tired and wasn’t ready for any long talk. I rushed into the room and went straight to the shower. While Sandra w
Chapter 12ERIC’S POV It was very late at night and everybody had relocated to there room and would probably besleeping by now but I couldn’t sleep. I tried sleeping but I just couldn’t.“It’s been weeks already and we haven’t still found Sandra. I have done everything in my power,called and message different people who have the power and are in high authority but all to noavail.” I thought out loud as I walked from one end of my room to the other.The feeling was just bad because I haven’t felt that way in my entire existence on earth. It felt like all the alliance and connections that I built for years are all in vain because non of them could do anything about my missing wife. And whenever I ask them, they just tell me we are working on it Sir.“As big as the pack house is with the whole people in it, it’s still feel empty ever since Sandra went missing.” I muttered to myself with a disappointing look on my face.I have never felt so useless all my life. My mom already told me
Chapter 13ERIC’S POV“Yes my Lycan king it’s me Luke.” Luke Lugard replied give me a wicked smile.My heart beat began to beat faster. It felt as if my world were falling before my eyes.“Who told you that you can walk into a room where I am being interviewed?” I asked angrily as I stood up.“What do you mean by that, my humble Lycan king? I heard that you were holding a meeting or rather an interview over here so I rushed down as soon as possible” he replied sarcastically.I noticed that he was trying to mock me by calling me a humble king so I didn’t give him the opportunity to do so. I humbly sat down back and listened to what he was saying even though I was boiling from inside.“Eric, oh I am sorry I meant our blessed Lycan King. Please forgive my manners for old time sake, that was a harmless mistake I promise.”“Alpha Luke please it is a punishable offense to call the Alpha our Lycan king by his name.” The head guard who happens to be my chief guard cautioned him and I could te
Chapter 14MRS AXEL’S POV.“This is like the third time in two days that Eric is sending me flowers.” I said to the maid who was showing me the flowers that it was just delivered to me by my son Eric.They were my favorite kind of flowers and I was so sure that Eric knew that was why he sent it over to me but as much as I was pleased with the flowers he sent I still couldn’t forgive him so easily.“Mrs Axel, where should I drop this? In your room or…” my maid asked me politely.“Throw it away.” I replied her immediately.“If he thinks that buying and sending over bouquets of flowers to me every now and then will change my mind then he must be dreaming because it’s not possible.” I continued “Ma, but these are your favorite kind of flowers.”“Yes I know but it was sent over by Eric so I can’t accept it. He is trying to buy my love and I wouldn’t let that happen.”“Okay ma, I will go and trash it out now.” She said to me and immediately went to trash it“Wait!!” I stopped her.I walked
