Rejected: the secret babies of the alpha 23: Condition
DanaWhen I opened my eyes, I was in my bed. I didn't remember how I had gotten there, but I did remember feeling unwell. In fact, I still felt a bit queasy and tired. I sat up in bed, and the smell of food caught my attention.That smell... I knew it. It was the sauce that Demian used to make for me when we were together, and he felt like cooking. But Demian wasn't the one cooking for me, as we were no longer together. I remembered Jeremy and our fights. It wasn't possible for Jeremy to be cooking for me. Who was it? Who was in my house?I walked down the hallway. I heard a noise in the kitchen. I peeked through the door and saw him cooking just like always. It was Demian. He moved around my kitchen, unaware of my presence, cooking attentively and stirring the sauce.A pressure settled in my chest as I missed the past. I missed when everything was okay between us. For some time now, all we seemed to do was fight and disrespect each other."Demian?" I said his name, confused.He turne
Rejected: the secret babies of the alpha 24: You left her
DanaJeremy entered the room and saw us together.Demian and I were sitting on the bed facing each other, eating as if nothing bad had ever happened between us. I didn't have to be a mind reader to realize that this would cause problems between Jeremy and me. If he was angry with me before, I couldn't imagine how angry he would be now.Jeremy looked at Demian, clearly not understanding anything. His eyes met mine, and I could see it in his gaze. Jeremy was disappointed and uncomfortable."Jeremy, what are you doing here?""Rather, what is he doing here? In your room," Jeremy clarified. Yes, he was definitely angry."Is there something wrong with that? I'm accompanying the mother of my children. I came to take care of her because she needed me. I'm not like you. You left her and didn't even realize she was burning with fever and almost lost consciousness," Demian didn't have to say that. I know he did it to create a conflict between them.If Demian wanted to help me feel better, he was

DanaI was stunned by Jeremy's words. He ended our relationship because of my decision."Fine! Go! I don't want someone in my life who can't support me. This isn't about us. It's about my children and what's best for them."Jeremy ignored me and left. I followed him down the hallway, almost running after him. I wanted to say. So many things to him, but time wasn't on my side.Jeremy left.I held back tears for a few minutes but ended up crying in my room from the horrible feeling consuming my body. Part of me wished Jeremy would come with me to California because I didn't want to feel alone. His company was a remedy for my broken heart. A temporary but beautiful remedy.I could hardly sleep all night. I had to get up early for work and repeat my day as I usually did. I didn't hear anything from Demian that day, which disappointed me. It was contradictory because whenever we saw each other, I kicked him out of my house. But after what happened because of him in my apartment, I wanted t
Rejected: the secret babies of the alpha 26: Apologies?
DanaRachel's expression upon seeing Demian was inexplicable. I couldn't help but smile a little.Demian caught her almost red-handed. His visit to the house hadn't been well received since he arrived in town, but today I was glad he came to see me.Rachel looked at me, and I could swear her gaze demanded that I behave. Demian couldn't take his eyes off her. The situation was uncomfortable for all three of us, but I enjoyed watching how Rachel behaved."I came to see Dana, Demian," she replied."Yes, but why? How do you know she lives here?"Demian's question was crucial. Rachel tensed. She wanted to tell Demian that Rachel had been investigating me. She always knew everything."I wanted to apologize to Dana," she replied. "I know I shouldn't have done it, but the other day I followed you here, Demian. That's how I know where Dana came from.""You came to apologize?"Apologies? Rachel had no shame in lying to her future husband."Yes. I came to convince Dana to come back to California
Rejected: the secret babies of the alpha 27: Goodbye
Dana "Do you expect me to believe that curse exists? Dana, those are stupid lies people have made up over the years," he opined, but he had no idea. I wished what Demian said was real, but a feeling in my chest screamed that I was right. The curse was real, and I saw it in myself every day. My health was deteriorating every day. Doctors attributed certain symptoms to pregnancy, but they said there was something wrong with me, and they couldn't find an answer. "Why do you think the doctors don't know what's wrong with me, Demian?" He narrowed his eyes. "You said you know. You told me you're anemic and you'll get better," Demian recalled. The weight of my lies fell upon me. "I lied to you so you wouldn't bother me," I admitted. Demian remained silent, looking at me. Part of him didn't believe me, but another part did. I noticed something strange in his gaze. Was it guilt? Remorse? Was he going to apologize to me for what he did? I lowered my gaze for a moment. It was hard to ke
Rejected: the secret babies of the alpha 28: I'm going with you
DanaI was glad that Demian and I could finally reach a mutual agreement without fighting. But I felt sad because I had no idea about Jeremy. After the voicemail I left him, I've been waiting for a response from him, but he hasn't spoken to me. I felt disappointed, but part of me understood Jeremy.Demian returned to my house a day later with plane tickets in his hands. Demian had been behaving decently since I agreed to go with him. It was peaceful to talk to him without arguing, but it still felt strange."Have you told Rachel that I'm going with you to the city?" I felt nervous."No. You asked me not to, and I didn't. I don't like hiding anything from her, but I didn't tell her," he replied.It was stupid to think about it, but it was painful to hear that he didn't like hiding anything from Rachel. He deceived me and didn't tell me until later. He did hide things from me. I suppose she was more special to him. Otherwise, Demian wouldn't have left me. But who wants a man like that b

DanaOur flight took off. Jeremy switched seats with a guy to sit next to me. Rachel and Demian were a few seats away. If Jeremy hadn't been with me, I wouldn't have been able to sleep peacefully. But I held onto his arm and slept deeply for a couple of hours until we were about to take off. It had been a long time since I slept soundly. When we arrived, Demian told Jeremy that I could stay at Demian and Rachel's house. I looked at him as if he were crazy. I would never stay at their house with both of them. Jeremy refused and said he arranged for a house in California before our flight took off. Jeremy, like Demian, was a wealthy and powerful man. Demian dropped off Rachel in the car and approached me. "Can we talk, Dana?" Demian asked. I looked at Jeremy. "Does it have to be now? I'd like to go to my new house to rest. I'm exhausted and feel dizzy from the flight." "Call me for anything you need, Dana. You have my number. Use it. I'll come visit you daily." "You don't nee

DanaI thought about Demian. Thinking about him was something I did recurrently, as my brain couldn't stop reminding me of what happened months ago.Being back in the city was a last-minute decision. I didn't have time to process how painful it would be to return. I loved being in my city, because I could reconnect with my mother and explain the situation to her. But every corner of this city reminded me of why I left. And what Demian did to me.I have to admit that I wanted to see Demian's reaction when he found out that his former best friend and I would get married. I wanted him to suffer as I suffered when I found out that Demian would marry Rachel, and they would have a child. I know my attitude was childish, but my heart still hurt for everything that happened between us. Resentment consumed me. I couldn't control it.I wanted to be the one to tell him, but my attitude was a desperate act."My mother won't like us getting married, Jeremy. I don't think she'll agree to our marria

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.

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
Rejected: the secret babies of the alpha 147: Wait for me
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
Rejected: the secret babies of the alpha 146: Return to my family
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
