Sandra's POV

"Mummy," Hayley muttered as she stood up from the bed.

"Sweetheart."

I went over to cuddle her in my arms as she held me close.

"I'm sorry, did I wake you?" I asked calmly.

Now that the attention had been shifted, I wouldn't have to answer Hayden’s question.

I held both of them in my arms.

"I'm sorry, pumpkins. Why don't you go to sleep, and tomorrow we can talk?" I said, and Hayden nodded.

The next morning, Claire took them to school, and I knew it was time to face my fear.

I got to the office and took out the file containing all of Eric’s information. My hands hovered with hesitation as I stared at the keyboard. I had to speak to him, but that meant I would have to see him.

With an exasperated sigh, I dialed his number and waited. I paced around the room, but the line went silent.

"Oh great, he's not picking up my calls," I hissed and decided to focus on work.

I buried myself in work, and it actually helped quite a lot to take my mind off things.

My phone buzzed inside

    Sandra's povMy whole world spun in an instant as a wave of emotions washed over me. It was as if I was running a marathon, my airways clogged, making it hard to breathe.I opened my mouth to speak, but the words died inside me as I stared at him. Every day, I reminded myself that Eric wasn’t worth it, that it was better to forget than drown in this endless cycle of emotions. Yet here I was, still affected by his words, even though he was the man who hurt me so badly.“Sandra, I know what I did wasn’t fair to you, but please… can you find it in your heart to—”Panic soared through me, and I gritted my teeth.“I don’t want to hear it from you,” I exhaled sharply.I tried to steady my voice, but the more I forced the words out, the more it felt like my chest was splitting open. It was just too much.All these years—aside from my kids—one of the only reasons I had made it this far in life was because I spent the last five years trying to hate him. I used his rejection as fuel for my ambi

    Sandra’s POVI sat at my desk staring at the flowers and box of chocolate Jenny had brought earlier. Wild lavender flowers, fresh and woody, their scent filling the room. The scent reminded me of Eric and that made me feel uncomfortable than I wanted to admit.How easily a smell could bring back so many memories- —the sweet moments, heartbreak and the space left behind.I took the note from the table that came with the flowers and chocolate and read it. “You look beautiful today.” Just four words nothing more. No name, No clue or signature. I had no idea who had sent them, but it was more than enough to stir up every emotion I had buried.I hated the way my stomach churned at the thought of him, how my wolf stirred within me at even the mere possibility that it could be Eric. Get a grip Sandra, i told myself, shaking y head rapidly.I threw the note in the bin. I have worked hard day and night to build the life i have now that was free from anything connected to him, that was free fro

    Sandra’s POVI walked to the mirror, checking out my outfit one last time my reflection staring back at me.I had picked a black, sexy gown that clung to my body like my second skin, accentuating my curves in all the right places.The gown had a deep daring neckline without being too provocative. It was in one word and that was perfect. The fabric shone in the light as I turned slightly; my black waves shimmered under the light cascading over my shoulder.My makeup up was simple yet bold, smoky eyes drawing attention while my lips were a deep red, capturing the essence of confidence and allure. I was ready for the night even though deep down I didn't want to go.“You look goddamn gorgeous; you'll turn everyone's head tonight.” Claire muttered, grinning ear to ear. Her bright red dress stood out, but even in such bold attire, she looked pretty.“You look pretty too Claire.” I said, “And I am not here to steal anything, I'm just here to enjoy the night nothing else nothing more.” I rep

    Sandra’s POVThe day had started like any other day. The fashion house was buzzing with excitement due to the upcoming fashion gala. I could hear the laughter of the twins in the other room. And their laughter was just the right amount to start my day.Hayley, the clingier of the two, had decided that she wanted to dress me up for work today As I tried to get ready, I couldn't control my laughter.She sat me down at the mirror and tried to brush my hair. I couldn't hide my smile at how innocent she looked.I was on my phone when I felt something wet on my hair.I looked up to see Hayley has emptied the gel container on my head, spreading it with the brush.I looked at her; she was smiling, and I smiled back, I couldn't tell her the gel was too much so she wouldn't feel sad.“You are doing just fine,” I said.“Thanks, Mummy.” she said, smiling.Hayden, the artist, came into the room jumping. He was trying to show me a picture of us he had drawn with crayons. His little fingers careful

    Sandra’s Pov The next morning after what had happened in the fashion house, I felt like shit, as if a train had run over my body. Every part of my body ached badly, as though Jemima herself had beaten me to pulp. I had spent the night going through every fashion design repeatedly because I couldn't let this flop. I felt betrayed; every moment I had spent with her, how I had treated her with nothing but kindness— I just couldn't make sense of it. I regretted that I had allowed someone like her to get too close to me without thinking twice. I walked to my window, staring at the busy street, everything that had happened replaying in my head. The reality of her betrayal really hit me hard. Jemima had stolen all my designs, my sweat and blood. Not even leaving one. She copied the exact design, making no changes at all. My stomach tightened at the thought that the gala was just two days away. I had not seen this coming. I really had not. I had no time for self-pity or feeling weak. w

    Sandra’s POVEveryone was buzzing, hopeful, and excited. But under all that? I could feel it—pressure. Like the walls were whispering, “Don’t mess this up, Sandra.” Failure wasn’t just a possibility. It was a shadow lurking around every perfectly stitched hem and fabric roll. Claire was a godsend, moving like a machine—pinning, adjusting, checking everything twice. The others worked just as hard, matching my energy, maybe even feeding off it. I’d changed so much these past weeks. I wasn’t that girl who hid behind others anymore. I’d fought—hard—to stand here. It was my chance to show it. To show me. And then… of course, Eric. Claire walked in holding her phone, lips pressed into a line. “He’s trying again,” she said quietly. “Eric says he wants to help. One last time.” I felt the heat rise in my chest. I didn’t even need to ask who. “Tell him I’m busy.” “Are you sure?” Claire asked gently. “Yes, I am.” I replied.I turned back to the dress in my hands and ran my fingers over the

    Susan's POVI was sitting in my room, doing my nails when a call came in. I checked the caller ID of the number. It was Luke. I wondered why he was calling. After our last meeting, I didn't expect any calls from him for a while so I was surprised when I saw the call. I picked it up. “ You were supposed to lay low for the time being and not cause any problems no matter how pained you are. You were supposed to sit down in your freaking house and do nothing. You were supposed to work on the future plans. There were better plans which when well developed would cause more destruction than the little stones you throw daily". I could tell he was very angry. Anger was an understatement though. He was furious. For what reason though ? I couldn't tell. He had just called and started ranting about what I didn't know about.“ Woah, woah, woah.

    Sandra's POVI had woken up exactly thirty minutes after I had fallen asleep. I went to the bathroom and had a quick shower and cleaned up. Afterwards, I wore a simple sundress, fixed my hair in a ponytail and wore the hospital flip flops. I sat on the bed waiting for Eric. The discharge process wouldn't take much time and in a little while, I would be on my way home to see my little bundles of joy...I had waited for almost an hour and Eric had not yet come. I decided to take a walk. I picked up a piece of paper and wrote a short note telling him I was going to take a walk and where I would be. I placed the note on my bags and left the room. The hospital was very quiet unlike it's usual noisy atmosphere. I decided to take the stairs instead of the usual lift. Walking a little wouldn't hurt. I realized I had made the wrong decision choosing to go down using the stairs. I laughed at myself as I sat on the stairs to take a rest. I continued my journey a few minutes after and it didn't

    Sandra's POVI was getting discharged today. The doctors had confirmed that I was healing quickly and very well. It had been three weeks since the incident. I hadn't seen Hayden and Hadley for these three weeks. Claire couldn't also come because she was staying with the kids. Eric had told her to not let the kids out of her sight. She was also with Mrs Axel. They were not in the palace though. Eric thought it was safer to keep everyone away from the house in case of any other attacks. Eric had not let me out of his sight ever since I woke up. He was keeping a close eye on me. He would follow me even when I went to take a bath or take a walk. It was like he was suspicious of me. But why though? I was very sure I didn't leave any clues when executing my plans and I had made Claire swear that she would not let anyone know about the plan. Not even Eric.I could not tell Eric of the plan. He would never allow me do it and it would be worse if I told him now, after taking action already.

    Sandra's POVI opened my eyes and shut it immediately as I adjusted to the bright light in the room. I tried sitting up but I felt trapped, like something was holding me down. I kept trying to no avail. I got tired and started slipping into the darkness again. I struggled to stay awake but it was just too much. I gave in and let the darkness take me.I was drifting between consciousness and unconsciousness. Sometimes I'd hear voices around me and sometimes, it was just silent. I'd try to sit up each time but I never succeeded. It was getting frustrating each time. I was worried, my mind kept going to my kids, Eric and Claire. I tried remembering what had happened but each time I tried, my head ached so badly and I'd force myself to go back to sleep. It was pure torture. Sometimes, the memories of what happened came in blue and by the time I woke up, I couldn't remember a thing.* * * * * * * * I opened my eyes and this time, the lighting in the room was just perfect.

    Eric's POV I rushed home to meet the citizens of Lycan Groove outside the palace. Sandra was on a makeshift podium and Claire stood beside her. I hurried to meet her to stop her from doing what she planned. “Never", I heard her say in a very firm voice. “Talk all you want"......Her voice was drowned out by murmurs around me. I surged forward, my eyes still on her. She noticed me and gave me a small smile. I felt more at ease but I continued moving towards her. She ended her speech and waited for any comments from the citizens. No comment. Better, they had better not make any derogatory remarks else I'd make sure whoever made such remark paid dearly either with their lives or more. She swayed a little and Claire hurriedly handed her a bottle of water which she drank quickly. There were still no comments from anyone, they all stood like they were frozen in place. She had started leaving when someone called her attention “Excuse me", a voice called out from the crowd. She turned around

    Eric's POV I was still very angry when I got to my office. How could they? How dare they think so little of her ? After everything she'd done. I was very disappointed in every single member of the Council, from the ones who brought up the idea, the ones who had let the enemy mess with their reasoning, the ones who had been silent throughout, not supporting, playing neutral, afraid they'd offend whoever was backing the opposers. Once this was over, I'd make sure to change each and every single member of my Council. Maybe the elders weren't needed to make decisions anymore since they'd the devil mess with them so easily. * * * * * * * * * “Sir, there's a problem. The Luna, she's gathering everyone", one of my guards reported.I wondered what Sandra was up to this time as I hurriedly packed up my things. I had this eerie feeling that everything was going to fall apart soon. My head throbbed as I tried calming myself. It'd better not be what I'm thinking. Sandra wouldn't take such dras

    Susan's POVI had been in this room for almost a week, never stepping foot out even once. I looked around me, empty beer and wine bottles strewn around. I walked to the light switch and flicked it on, shielding my eyes as bright light flooded the room. My head was pounding fiercely thanks to all the alcohol. I opened the window curtains and looked out the glass window. I stumbled to the mirror and took a good look at myself. I was a mess, my hair looked like a bird's nest, dark circles were underneath my eye and old smudged make-up was still on my face. My face screamed for help as dark spots and acne that hadn't been on my face took up significant space on my face. I reeked of alcohol and so did the room. I picked up my phone and tried turning it on. Shit. It was off. How would I get to my sources now!!I opened my room door as fresh air streamed in.. I walked to the kitchen to find the cook preparing breakfast. “Get someone to prepare my bath ASAP", I ordered. He nodded and hurried

    Eric's POVI had gone to the my office after talking to Sandra this morning. I could see that she was badly hurting but she didn't want to accept the fact. She kept saying that I shouldn't help but I couldn't just sit still and watch them tear her down. I knew that she was very strong but this was too much for her. The pain in her eyes, the way she trembled whenever I talked about helping, like she was scared I'd get hurt in the process. Although I didn't know what way Susan would strike, I talked with my Beta on strengthening the security around the castle. I also made arrangements for secret guards for my kids, Sandra and my mother. My mother was supposed to be supportive of Sandra, helping her out and giving her solutions to most of the problems but she kept acting nonchalant and I didn't appreciate that at all. She was the one who chose Sandra for me, so she was supposed to have a soft spot for her at least. She had no right to compare her to that sly snake, Susan. She knew what S
