Dana

I 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.

    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

    DanaMy legs trembled. I knew I would fall at any moment. I had spent days in bed. My body had grown weak and the curse continued its course. My body ached. The bruises on my skin bothered me. Rachel looked me up and down and mocked my physical condition."How weak you have become, Dana. I can kill you right now to end your stupid and miserable life," she proposed.I pushed her with the few remaining forces I had left. Rachel's back hit the wall. She didn’t expect me to push her. She was surprised. I fell to the ground because of the trembling in my legs. I grimaced in pain. I held my belly to protect my children.The doctor said my pregnancy wouldn’t withstand another blow. I feared his words were true. If Thomas came to save me, we would have to wait for the doctor to run tests. But Demian could not find out what happened to me."Look what you did to me!" she screamed like a madwoman.Rachel shook her head. She looked at me with hatred and clenched her teeth."You just earned a rand

    DemianRachel hugged me during breakfast.“Aren’t you going to eat?” I asked her.“No, I already ate earlier,” she replied.“I’ve been thinking about something all night, and I’d like to talk to you about it, Rachel. I know you don’t want to and won’t like the idea, but I would be very happy if you accepted Dana into our home until she recovers. The accident has worsened her condition and pregnancy, and she has no one to take care of her. I want to know what you think about Dana living here. It will be temporary. If we’re lucky, Jeremy will wake up and recover.”I looked at Rachel, scanning her facial expressions. I didn’t want her to get angry at my request. I spoke to her with love so she would understand. My situation wasn’t easy: I knew I brought these things upon myself, but I needed Rachel’s help. We couldn’t abandon Dana in the hospital and then let her go home alone.My babies needed my protection. Dana could take care of herself during the pregnancy, but she needed help.“Act

    Dana This was too risky, and we didn't know how the plan would turn out. I began to doubt doing it because I was afraid we'd be discovered and everything would get worse. I mean, Thomas was a doctor at the hospital. He worked attending to other patients but was hired by Demian to have a trusted doctor. Thomas had the right to attend to me, but he couldn't discharge me, so his job here was at risk. But Thomas seemed willing to do it. I don't know why he wanted to help me so much. We barely knew each other because he joined Demian's pack shortly before Demian and I divorced. But he became loyal to me. I have to admit I was terrified to leave the hospital. If the other doctors told me I needed to rest, they had their reasons. They were doctors. They knew why they were saying it. I hesitated, but Thomas reminded me of the importance of leaving. Rachel would keep bothering me, and Demian would insist on the stupid and crazy idea of taking me to live with him. Thomas took me down the ha

    Dana"It's that way. It's that way!" I shouted to myself, trying to push the wheelchair as fast as I could. Fortunately, the floor was slippery, allowing me to glide easily.I looked back and saw the security guards had fallen to the ground. Good, that would delay them and give me an advantage. I lost sight of them, and they lost sight of me. Thomas and I were alone, heading towards the exit.They told me not to put myself in stressful situations. But I didn't listen. Having security guards chasing us was a stressful situation. Thomas and I had to hurry to Thomas's summer house, or Demian would find us. I knew the doctor would call Demian soon. Thomas would stay at the hospital for a while, and I would go alone. Thomas couldn't leave at the same time I disappeared, as that would make him suspicious.Thomas opened the door. We stepped outside the hospital. The car was far away, but he quickened his pace. There was no one from the hospital outside. That was good for us."We have to be q

    DemianMy hands gripped the steering wheel with such fury that I thought I would break it. The anger consumed me inside, and I had to be careful not to cause an accident on the highway. Rachel was beside me in the car, stroking my arm to calm me down, but her touch didn't bring me any relaxation.At the hospital, I confronted Dana's doctor. I glared at him furiously, walking towards him with narrowed eyes and clenched fists. The guy tensed up when he saw me. He knew what I was going to say to him."Can you tell me why the hell you didn't call me in time? How could you wait so long to inform me that Dana escaped from the hospital? Didn't anyone see anything strange? I hired another doctor to take care of her!" I shouted. I didn't care if people in the hospital saw me.Where the hell was her defender? Where the hell was Thomas? I needed to demand an explanation urgently.I felt angry with him. I know I fired him, but he promised to take care of her. Apparently, he hasn't kept his word.

    Demian Rachel intrigued me, but it was Dana who truly captured my attention. However, I was momentarily worried about Rachel's strange behavior. “What’s wrong, Rachel? Why are you nervous? You check your phone every minute.” “I’m worried, Demian. I don’t know if it was a good idea for me to come with you. I’m a werewolf, but Thomas scares me. He’s been cruel to me. I’ll stay in the car if you don’t mind. I don’t want him to see me.” “Thomas won’t hurt you again, Rachel,” I assured her. That idiot was on my blacklist. I didn’t understand how he could do this. He denied having anything to do with Dana’s escape, but he lied. Thomas was covering for her. There was evidence against him. “But I’ll stay.” We arrived at a house I had never seen in my life. Thomas was part of the pack, but we were never very close. The police officers surrounded Thomas’s house. I got out of the car and approached the patrol car of my beta, the woman who took my report about Dana’s disappearance. Not ev

    DanaThomas and I were about to have lunch. He had always come to see me after work and cooked for me so I wouldn't have to move. Thomas was a great man, and I know Jeremy would have been jealous, but he would have been eternally grateful that Thomas took such good care of Rachel and Demian.Two days have passed since I escaped from the hospital with Thomas.

Being away from Jeremy and not knowing anything about him was killing me.Thomas said he had asked about Jeremy, and the doctors had the same news as a few days ago: he was in critical condition. Jeremy was still fighting for his life.Thomas had to turn off his phone to stop Demian from calling us. The pack members were on Demian's side, so we couldn't take any risks. I've lived in uncertainty for two days. Demian has been relentless these past few days asking about me. Demian wasn't foolish and knew Thomas was involved. Sooner or late

    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?

    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.

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.
