Chapter 12

~Sandy’s pov~

I sat next to Luna as her hands shook terribly due to the nervousness. She really is pregnant but she refuses to believe anyone unless the evidence is right there in front of her face otherwise, she is completely in denial. I stopped thinking about Luna for a moment and thought about everything that had just happened. I couldn’t believe my son forgave me after everything I put him through. I closed my eyes as the memories rushed to me.

~Flashback~

I sat on the couch of Daniel’s home with my husband Rick forever by my side. I hummed quietly to myself to calm my nerves, but it wasn’t working. I knew Daniel was evil and cruel; I was scared about what he was going to make/tell me to do. He never really did see me as a daughter; he saw me as a working dog or a slave who’s there to grant his every order. I discovered his cruelness when I was around the age of 8.

I heard someone arguing in the kitchen so I went to check it out. My mother and Daniel were going at it like it was a war. I heard a loud smack and a thud. Too scared to show myself, I leaned into the doorway so that Daniel and my mother were in my line of sight. I held in a gasp as I saw Daniel kick my mother’s lifeless body. He sucked all of her blood and threw her out the door as if she was garbage. Tears overfilled my eyes so from that day on, I knew what Daniel really was and what he was capable of.

As if Rick could sense my emotions, he shot out his hand and grabbed mines; he started stroking it softly, drawing little small circles here and there soothing me like I was some unfed hungry baby. I looked down at our touching hands and smiled knowing that he was mines and mines only. Rick tilted my face up to meet his striking yellow eyes and comforting smile. Oh how those eyes melt me inside. Rick leaned in and gave me a soft and much needed kiss on my awaiting lips. I sighed happily as Daniel burst into the room. He squinted his eyes as if to get a better look at us. His lips formed into a thin line as he thought about something thoroughly. I heard him mumble to himself but only caught some words like “Kill, males, rule.”

I stared at him confusedly. “Daniel? What is it?” I asked quietly.

He turned his head so fast I thought it was going to break. He walked over to where me a Rick were sitting and took a long look. “Listen Sandy, I’ll give you two options because you’re my daughter. The first option is you either kill Rick and keep Luke or the second option is, you kill Luke and keep your mate Rick.” He hissed the last part as if Rick’s name was poisonous to him.

I stared blankly ahead afraid I misinterpret his words. “Wh-what?” I started laughing. “Haha!” I clutched my stomach to emphasize on his joke. I pretended to wipe away an invisible tear and then put my attention back on the frowning Daniel. “Great joke, now what is it that you really want to talk to me about?”

Daniel gave me a blood chilling stare as his lips became a thin line. “I am not joking you foolish girl. Now give me an answer before I answer for you.”

I clutched Rick tightly as if my life depended on it. “NO! You can’t take away my Rick or my Luke! Why would you ever want one of them gone? WHY?! They’re my world; my everything.” I sobbed into Rick’s chest. His arms wrapped around me perfectly and comfortingly. He stroked my hair trying to calm me down but I don’t think his touch will work this time.

Daniel hesitated for a moment before answering my question. “Because, I cannot have two males in this family because it might affect my ruling. They could team up and take me down and I am most definitely not ready to go down. Now Sandy, what is your choice? I’m an impatient man and nor do I have all day for this kind of sensitive crap. Get on with it.” He snapped.

Rick whispered into my ears. “Kill me love. I cannot put Luke’s life at risk; he has so much to live for and a whole life ahead of him. I on the other hand had a great run; I met the love of my life, had a handsome and potential filled son. It’s everything I can ever ask for Sandy and more. Kill me, I have no regrets.”
