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
DanaThe wedding night has finally arrived. The long wait would end in less than an hour.I looked at my long, white, expensive, tailor-made dress. It was strange to get married for the second time, but we both decided to leave the past behind and focus on a new future. I'm not going to lie and say it's easy, because it isn't. But we've tried. We've done it together.Our relationship has strengthened after everything we've been through. Demian has become a better partner. Even better than in our past marriage. He has made it his mission to make me fall in love with him day by day and to show me his love.Our three children were happy to have a united family. I could see it in their faces. Soon, a fourth child would join our lives. Demian and I planned it. My health was stable, so we decided to try.“Miss, are you ready?” my chauffeur asked.The limousine was ready to take me to the church. After our wedding, we will go together as a family to the Caribbean. When we return, we will mov
DanaI felt queasy almost the entire trip back home. My assistant drove me home so I could rest.All day long, I had felt a strange sensation in my chest. It felt like something bad was going to happen, but I didn't know what.I haven't said anything to my husband to avoid worrying him."Miss Dana," my assistant said. She looked at me through the rearview mirror of the car."Yes?" I replied."I don't mean to be intrusive, but have you had your period?"The question took aback me."Excuse me?""You missed your medical check-up, miss. You had an appointment with the doctor three weeks ago. And you haven't attended. You've been feeling unwell almost every day for weeks."My heart began to beat rapidly. I hadn't even noticed.Feeling unwell every day is not a good sign. Or it's a sign that something has changed in my body. My menstrual cycle wasn't regular, so I never worried about it. But with my assistant's words, something stirred within me. No, my period hadn't arrived yet, and it sho
DanaBefore I opened the door, I complained about the headache. I felt dazed and lost.My body was anxious, and I didn't understand why.I realized I was in my room.The walls were spinning.I had a horrible feeling upon waking up. I remember having a terrible nightmare about my marriage: my nephew was Demian's son. My husband cheated on me with my stepsister.I saw Demian standing at the foot of the bed. He was looking at me intently. There was something strange in his gaze. I noticed coldness, and I felt puzzled. Then, I remembered everything: My dream was not a dream. It was real. Demian did cheat on me with my stepsister, and she claimed that her son was Demian's.I hurriedly got out of bed. I suddenly felt dizzy and had to sit down again. My eyes searched for Demian's to judge him for his actions."You!" I pointed at him."I don't think it's time for us to have this discussion, Dana.""And when will it be the time?! You said you don't love me. You love her, and you've cheated on
DanaI looked at the doctor.If there was something I hated, it was suspense.The person in charge of my health wouldn't tell me what was happening.My alarms were going off."Tell me what's going on with me. Am I sick?""I wouldn't call it that, Dana," she sat beside me and handed me a paper with medical results, "Did you know you're pregnant?"I opened my eyes wide, but I laughed out loud. However, my doctor did not laugh.I knew he wasn't lying to me.. My heart pounded hard against my chest.I couldn't believe it.Pregnant?For a moment I thought about it, but I didn't think my assistant was right. I got pregnant, and I had just divorced the father of my children. This was a nightmare.I was afraid of being a mother. I didn't feel ready. But something inside me changed when my doctor showed me my baby on a screen. It was a tiny spot inside me."This is a baby," she pointed out."It's so... small."My emotions were all over the place. I felt excited, sad, desperate, and scared. A bab
DanaDemian had the ability to devour me with his gaze. His eyes gave me the impression that he knew all my secrets.Demian turned around, waiting for me to say something. He crossed his arms."What? What do you have to tell me?"I almost told him the truth, but something inside me screamed that it wasn't right. Something inside me begged me not to. So I remained silent and looked at him. Immediately, I felt guilty because I couldn't keep hiding from Demian that we were going to be parents together. I couldn't carry that weight for the rest of my life. But maybe the time to talk wasn't then.We were both angry with each other. We shot daggers with our eyes. We felt resentment. Each of us had our own reasons, but we agreed that we didn't like each other.He looked at me impatiently."Are you going to speak or should I leave?""Leave," I requested. "I have nothing to say to you," I finished and turned around. I went back to bed.Demian scanned me with his eyes and sighed. He looked so ha
DanaI blinked several times, hoping to wake up from the nightmare.Her words dumbfounded me."Are you capable of threatening me with death? What happened to you, Rachel?""I can kill you. I don't want you to get in my way or Demian's. We will start a family and get married."Married? Did he already propose to her?I felt a pang in my heart. I didn't want Demian to marry her. He was the love of my life.I thought of Rachel's son. The three-year-old boy."Have you understood, Dana?" She pulled my hair harder. I groaned in pain and let out a scream."Yes! I understood! Let me go!"Rachel let go of me abruptly. I felt humiliated by her."You better keep your promise. Don't make me shoot you. You have no idea what I'm capable of," Rachel reminded me.After all this, I think I did realize what Rachel was capable of.Rachel gave me a superior smile and turned around to leave.Maybe it wasn't a good idea to ask her questions, but the doubt was killing me. I needed to know. Could she lie to De
Dana I picked up the bags with my belongings and got up from the floor. Rachel's gaze was still fixed on me. I wanted to say so many things to her, but I had to swallow my words. If she truly got enraged, Rachel wouldn't hesitate to hit me or harm me. Her crazy look made that clear. I almost ran to the door with tears in my eyes. I was tired of the injustice that permeated my life. I had to go to the hospital to get checked because I was afraid for my babies. Fortunately, everything was fine, but they wanted to admit me for a day to make sure. I had to refuse, even though I knew it was the right thing to do. If I didn't leave, Rachel would kill me. I had to buy a suitcase for the trip and went to see my mother. She had no idea what had happened in my life, and I didn't plan to tell her the truth. Mom would have a heart attack and would go to kill Demian if she found out. Mom suffered too much when my father left her for Rachel's mother. I decided to take the example my mother ga

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
