Dana

Mom had a strange expression on her face. There was something she wanted to tell me. I knew my mother well and could tell when something was bothering her. I was worried that she had some relevant information that I didn't know about. Mom was a person who kept secrets, even from me. But I always discovered them because her gaze betrayed her.

Mom noticed I was looking at her. Her eyes locked onto mine for a second, but then she looked away at the TV. I feared it was about Jeremy, and I didn't know it. Or about me. I couldn't stop looking at her.

"Mom," I said to get her attention.

But my mother pretended to be calm and didn't look at me. Her eyes stayed fixed on the TV. She was definitely hiding something.

"What?"

"Mom, what's going on?"

"What are you talking about?" She changed the channel. She would do anything to avoid looking at me.

"I know you're hiding something from me."

"Well, you're wrong. I'm not hiding anything from you."

I reached out to take the remote from her hand.

    Dana"I don't want to hear you anymore," I warned.My mother had anger in her eyes. I don't know what was going on with her, but it wasn't good. My mother surprised me with every passing second. She got up from her chair."Well, then I'm leaving, Dana," she announced, grabbing her things.I opened my eyes in surprise."You're leaving?""I won't come back to see you until you go back to Demian and admit that you love him," she declared.This had to be a nightmare. I couldn't believe the woman who raised me and whom I was extremely close to was telling me she wouldn't see me again until I went back to the person who betrayed me. My mother must have hit her head. I had never heard her speak so incoherently before. I felt betrayed by her. Her attitude offended me."Are you serious? Are you blackmailing me? You? My own mother?""I know you don't understand, Dana, but I'm doing this for your own good. Maybe someday you'll come to understand, and I hope it's soon because time is running out

    Dana"What do you want, Rachel? What other threat are you going to make? Are you going to kill me for speaking up? Or what? It's always the same stupid promise to kill me, but you never do anything. Just do it already and end your stupid game. I'm tired of it," I challenged her. The hatred I felt for her was greater than the hatred I could feel for Demian. Rachel had the ability to make me hate her because she always found a way to bother me. But to the world, she was the perfect person, an angel, a great person, and incapable of hurting anyone."You must be upset," one of her heels tapped the floor in an irritating motion.I knew my words had provoked her. I could see it in her eyes, but Rachel didn't lose control as I had intended."Upset? Because of your presence? Yes.""No, because of what happened with your mother. I heard you had a fight with her and she left. Demian told me."What need did Demian have to talk about my personal affairs? It was none of his business. It was disres

    DemianI decided to see Dana again after looking for her mother at the hospital station. The woman told me she would no longer take care of Dana and was stepping out of her life. I don't know what the hell happened, but I couldn't allow Dana to be left alone. If her mother was stepping aside, I had to stay close to Dana, despite our differences, because she had no one else.I visited Jeremy for a moment because he almost died. I was stunned by the news. I felt awful when the doctors told me that my former brother was not doing well at all. I asked endless questions about him. No matter how much I didn't want to admit it, Jeremy mattered too much to me, and I didn't want to lose him.The news hit us like a bucket of cold water.Jeremy had a complicated intervention when his heart stopped, damaging its functionality. In our werewolf pack, we never had to undergo surgery, and in just a few weeks, both Rachel and Jeremy had to undergo one. But the doctor attending us was a werewolf. He wa

    DanaWhen I woke up sore from the heart surgery, the doctor explained what had happened. I barely had the strength for anything. There was no one in my room. But minutes after my doctor left, my least favorite person entered.Rachel. Again.It was clear from her eyes. She enjoyed it and had no problem letting me know. I don't understand how Demian doesn't see the kind of person he has beside him. He has found so many flaws in me, but for him, Rachel was the perfect woman."How is it possible that he doesn't see the kind of person you are?" I asked, my voice tired and shaky. I was a bit groggy."Would you like to hear the story of how we met again? Or has Demian already told you?"No, Demian never told me how the story began. I don't even understand why he never mentioned that he went out with my stepsister. He knew my father, and I've shown him pictures. He recognized him and never said anything."I'm not interested in knowing.""Oh, well, he and I met by chance at a bar. He left the

  • Rejected: the secret babies of the alpha   114: "I don't care..."

    DanaI am the only werewolf I've known who has suffered injuries and whose body hasn't healed properly. But Jeremy was the second one I've seen. The injuries he received from the attack wouldn't disappear from his skin because the silver poison prevented him from recovering. His werewolf powers were stalled. I never saw him with a bruise anywhere, and it hurt my heart to see him so vulnerable.I had never seen Jeremy so vulnerable and fragile, not even when he was attacked in the hospital parking lot. I took his hand and held it for as long as I could. I didn't know how much time would pass before we could see each other again, or worse, if we would ever see each other again. It was too complicated for me to leave the room and go up one floor without anyone seeing me. And Demian was lurking around the hospital and could see me at any moment. In fact, I knew that when he came back from the bathroom, he would look for me. He probably already knew I wasn't in the room, and I knew he woul

    DemianDana's words were a dagger to my heart. I felt vulnerable and fragile in the face of her words. She broke my heart. I felt useless. She hated me. She despised me. I could see it in her eyes.I looked for Rachel in the parking lot. I saw her inside the car, crying. I sighed. I also felt like crying, but I had to be strong for Rachel."What’s wrong, Rachel?" I asked.She covered her face. I stroked her back."Calm down...""I can't be calm. I'm too sensitive with everything that's happened with the baby, and I want Dana to take care of herself, Demian. I don't want her to go through what I did because it's horrible."It hurt not to be able to believe Dana because she seemed to believe what she was saying was true. But to me, Rachel was telling the truth and wasn’t a bad person. I didn’t want to judge Dana. In fact, I wasn’t. I knew she was going through a moment of jealousy.I hugged her. She clung to me.Rachel calmed down. I stopped at a store to buy Rachel a bottle of water si

    DanaI felt fear at his words. I didn't want Demian near my children. Rachel said she would take them over."For what? To play house with you and Rachel?""My marriage with Rachel is none of your business. She knows she's not the mother of our children.""Last night, you made an excellent decision by leaving and deciding to stay out of my life. What changed?""Our children. I won't be able to sleep in peace knowing I've abandoned them. I have to take care of you because my children are inside you. I don't care if you disagree. You have no say."I felt anger and helplessness. Since he found out about my children, I've felt that Demian was trying to control my life."Why can't you understand that I feel safe without your presence?"I knew he didn't like my words, but it didn't matter. Demian had no idea what it felt like to be in my position."You'll have to get used to it.""I won't get used to it because your wife almost killed me. Jeremy is like this because of her," I accused.Demia

    DanaThomas was right when he said Jeremy would prefer my well-being. I had to leave. The day before, Rachel provoked a crisis in me, which caused chest pain and surgery. I was tired of her stupid threats.The hospital wasn't safe for me. Demian didn't trust me. He believed Rachel. The decision was made: I wanted Thomas to take me out of the hospital. But my house wasn't safe. We couldn't be there. When Demian found out I escaped the hospital, he would look for me there. And we couldn't go to Thomas's house either, as that would be the second place Demian would look for us.The question was: where would we go? Because I was no longer welcome at my mother's house.I wondered if Mom knew they had to take me to the operating room because my heart wasn't functioning properly. Did Demian call to tell her? Honestly, I didn't know if I wanted to know the answer because if my mother knew and didn't come, my heart would be shattered. And, on the other hand, I didn't want to feel more disappoin

    DanaThe first month without him was hard. Without my mother's support, I would never have been able to move forward.The second month was terrifying. I cried so much. I don't know how I didn't become dehydrated.In the third month, my children were already so strong, and the doctors discharged us from the hospital, and we went home, where a four-year-old brother was waiting for us. I took care of Demian's little son because he was left alone. Rachel abandoned him, and he needed a mother. That little boy was not to blame for having a mother like Rachel, so I took care of him as if he were my own son. I know Demian would have loved that.The fourth month was just as painful as the third. I couldn't accept that he wasn't near me. I missed him so much. There wasn't a day when I didn't cry over his departure. I wondered if he was okay. Was he alive? Did he miss us? What did Rachel do to him?In the fifth month, I visited Jeremy's grave almost every day, asking him to help bring Demian hom

    DanaI suddenly opened my eyes and sat up in bed, gasping. I coughed non-stop, and my mother was worried about me. I touched my abdomen and noticed that my belly was no longer the same as before. I frowned and looked at my mom."What happened? Where are my children?""The babies are alive in the maternity and baby room. They are in an incubator, daughter" my mom explained, stroking my hair.My babies... my children had been born, and I had been asleep the whole time. I wanted to touch and kiss them. I needed to see and meet them. Their faces, their little hands, and feet. My eyes filled with tears. Finally, I was a mother. Finally, I could meet them.I begged to be allowed to see them. Mom said she would call the doctor to have me taken to see my children. I had never felt such great excitement. I felt energetic like I hadn't felt in a long time."Don't strain yourself. You just came out of a complicated surgery. You have to stay calm. We'll wait for the doctor. Okay?"A surgery? Why

    DemianI looked for the address where a black car with tinted windows would pick me up. Rachel's henchmen were coming for me to take me to her. That was the deal. I understood we were going to leave the city and the country so no one could find us. It was madness to leave the country and have no further contact with my family, Dana, or any information about my children. But that was the deal I made with Rachel so she would tell me how to save Dana. I trusted the maid would be of great help to Dana, my son, and my other two children. I wanted to believe everything would be fine while I was gone, but I wasn't sure of it.Nerves were eating me slowly and anxiety was my worst enemy. The star-filled sky didn't match the horrible feeling in my heart today.They picked me up and put a bag over my head. Another rule was not to resist the kidnapping they were going to perform. So I stayed still. I felt a prick on my neck and it took hold of my skin. I grimaced. That wasn't part of the deal, bu

    DemianI had to make a quick decision to save Dana. I had to leave or stay with Dana while she died slowly. There was no certainty in Rachel's words, but I had to do something for Dana, and I believe the maid was right all along. If being with Rachel was the key to Dana's survival, I was going to do it. I had to take that risk. I had seen her die before my eyes. I couldn't let that happen again and have it be permanent. Dana and my children needed me. What kind of man was I if I couldn't protect my family from this hell? What kind of man was I if I couldn't keep them alive?I had to accept going with Rachel, but first, I had to make sure the surgery was successful. Hours passed without any answers. A doctor approached Dana's mother, and I went to listen to what happened."What happened? I'm Dana's husband. How is she? My children?""We delivered the babies, and they are alive, but they need to be monitored in incubators for a while, as their organs are still developing. Ideally, the b

    DemianDana's heart stopped suddenly while we were talking. Her eyes were fixed on mine, but she was no longer moving. I was terrified. I felt a fear like I had never felt in my life. Anguish took over my body, dragging me down the path of pain. My chest tightened as I realized she was gone. Dana was gone. Someone had to do something. They had to bring my beloved back to me. I couldn't live without her because living without Dana was like being dead in my own life.I took her face in my hands as I heard the long beep of the machine connected to Dana. I searched for something to help her, but I didn't know how. No one prepares anyone for this. Not even I, a powerful Alpha, could escape such immense pain."Dana, no... No!" I shouted. "Don't go! You can't go! I won't allow it. Not like this. Please," I begged. I had never begged anyone for anything in my life, but for Dana, I was willing to do anything.I would give my life for hers. I was willing to take her place and her pain so that s

    DemianDana went crazy when she found out that Thomas had died, but I can't blame her. I feel the same way, but I try to find a balance between my emotions because one of us has to be strong for the other. I promised Dana that I would always be there for her, and this was a way to fulfill my words. News like this could make Dana lose the babies. I knew something was wrong when we entered the house and everyone looked at us strangely. Dana noticed and figured it out."How is this possible? Rachel has henchmen. She has people she pays. Her parents disappeared, so they must be helping her do everything she does. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense. How is it possible that Rachel has so many people on her side? Again, it must be her father paying thugs to do the dirty work. Someone had to take the body to that wasteland, and I know she wouldn't do it alone.""We've made calls to the police, and they're still investigating. It's a matter of finding her, Demian.""This nightmare won't end unti

    DanaWe took a walk around the house to have a moment of privacy. The house was huge, and we walked slowly because of my pregnancy. My belly was heavy, but the dress was comfortable for walking as it was not tight. Since my belly had grown so much, I had to get large and new clothes because what I used to wear no longer fit me. The doctors forbade me from wearing tight clothes. When Demian and I returned home, Thomas was there, looking worried. He seemed completely upset. Demian also noticed and asked him what was wrong. Demian looked at me. I know he didn't want me to find out certain things so that I wouldn't worry and get hurt. Demian became overly protective of me when he found out my children were his.Demian and I returned to the mansion, and the pack was still there, but not all of them. I didn't want everyone to show us with their expressions that something bad had happened.I intended to ask what happened, but Demian asked me to go back to my room to change. He also noticed t

    DemianI thought about Dana during the night. I fell asleep next to her. I protected her with my arms and lost myself in the scent of her perfume. It had been a long time since I had slept so comfortably with someone. At that moment, I knew: I didn’t want to be away from her and I wasn’t going to, not even for what Rachel asked of me. I wanted to marry Dana today.I got up early in the morning and asked a notary to come to the house to marry Dana and me. She had no idea about this. I didn’t want to wait any longer to be her husband. I don’t know how things will continue after Rachel’s request and the conversation I had with the maid. I know she was right, and I had to put priorities on the table for the sake of the pack. But Dana was one of my priorities. She was the most important person alongside my children. And I couldn’t leave my son alone. If I left, Dana would be alone and have no one to trust.I made a promise to Dana. I promised her that I wouldn’t leave her and I wouldn’t ab
