Dana It's been a few days since I returned to the city. Demian visited my house to make sure I was feeling well. I told him he could call to ask, but he insisted on getting me used to his constant visits. I noticed Demian acting strange. Maybe something wrong was happening in his life. I used to be sure of what was going on with him. We used to tell each other everything, but we became strangers. I felt like screaming at Demian about my marriage. In a few hours, Jeremy and I had an appointment at the registry office to get married. He took care of paying people to be our witnesses and make sure no one would hinder our marriage. I have to admit I felt nervous. I didn't even feel this nervous when I married Demian. I think my heart was trying to sabotage our plans. Seeing Demian made my heart ache. "Is there something you need to tell me, Dana?" Demian asked. My heart raced. What if he found out the truth? "What do you mean?" I replied. "About your health. Are you okay?" "Yes
DemianI hated the idea of Jeremy being in town with Dana. He wasn't supposed to be here. When I found out he was in love with her and we argued, Jeremy promised he would never return to town to forget about Dana. But they reconnected, and she gave him a chance.I know it was my ego talking, but I hated that he was close to Dana. He wanted to take care of her and protect her, even wanted to be the man of her life. Anger consumed me when I thought about them together. The couple they made disgusted me. I couldn't understand how Dana could be with Jeremy. She had no sense of honor and got involved with my best friend.I would never forgive Dana for keeping me away from my children nor for her romance with Jeremy. Maybe she started a relationship with him just to spite me. Did she want revenge? Was she trying to rub it in my face that she was happy with him?I prayed that their relationship wouldn't last. I wanted to separate them, and I knew I shouldn't. But I would find a way to break
Rachel and I had been arguing a lot lately. Since Dana reappeared in my life, Rachel had been nervous all the time. Since our last fight about the lawsuit, we haven't spoken. We hadn't even slept in the same bed. Rachel sent me to the guest room.Rachel was a complicated woman. We couldn't talk without fighting. I preferred not to upset her. Maybe Rachel needed space to think and calm down.I visited Dana at her house. I noticed she seemed strange and nervous. Jeremy practically kicked me out of the house. Dana ran toward the stairs. She looked like she was in a hurry."I suppose you don't think you'll get away with it, do you?" I asked Jeremy. We were outside his house."Excuse me?""With Dana. I hope you don't think you'll be together forever because I won't allow it."He laughed. But I was serious. I didn't smile. I looked at him sternly."Do you find this funny?""I find what you're doing very funny, Demian. Is this a threat? Do you think I care what you do? Dana and I will be tog
Dana Jeremy blocked my view of Demian as he walked up to me. “Dana! Here you are.” “What’s going on?” I asked him, wanting to talk about what I had just seen. “You saw Demian here, right? Rachel came with him too.” “Yeah,” I replied, feeling uneasy and looking down. I felt uncomfortable with their presence here. I didn’t want them to ruin my special night, but we could use the opportunity to announce that we were married. “Do you want to use this opportunity to announce our marriage? Or should I tell the security guards to kick them out?” “Let’s make the announcement. But let’s do it for our love, not because of them,” I lied. To announce our wedding, Jeremy and I printed golden cards with the announcement. We wanted to do something different. Jeremy asked the staff to distribute the envelopes with the cards to all the guests. No one could open them until Jeremy and I said so. Jeremy took my hand, and we walked together to the center of the dance floor. My husband took the mi
DanaJeremy's words were meant to provoke Demian. I liked that. I enjoyed rubbing my relationship with Jeremy in his face.It wasn't a mature attitude, but I didn't care. My resentment toward Demian blinded me.Demian's gaze on me grew heavy. He couldn't stop looking at me, and I started to feel uncomfortable, but I pretended to be calm.People approached us to congratulate us on the news, but I knew that many of the guests were on Demian's side. It was sad because all of them and I used to love each other when we were part of the same pack, but they chose to be loyal to their alpha. It's understandable.Jeremy and I unexpectedly separated. He greeted the guests on his own, and me on mine. I saw my mother in the distance and approached her with a smile, but I noticed that she didn't look happy. Mom was upset."Mom! You came! How have you been? When did you arrive?""I arrived just when you announced the news. I can't believe what I heard, Dana. Are you going to marry your ex-husband's
DanaThe rumble quickly caught my attention, making my heart race wildly. At first, I didn't understand what was happening, but then I realized what it was: an earthquake.I've never experienced one. The first thing that crossed my mind was my children. I needed to find a safe place to take shelter.The lights flickered incessantly, and dust fell from the ceiling as the earth moved mercilessly. I was scared and worried, unsure of what to do.I looked at Demian in front of me. He looked just as surprised as I was. He quickly approached me and hugged me tightly to protect me from harm. My pride had to be set aside in this situation.A piece of ceiling fell near us. I screamed out of fear. I couldn't stop thinking about my children and the harm that could befall them. A hit could injure them."Demian!" I cried out in desperation. He knew my fear."Calm down! I've got you!" he spoke loudly.I heard screams coming from the hall. I thought of Jeremy and his safety. I was afraid something mi
DanaWhen we got home, I couldn't bring myself to get into bed with Jeremy."What's wrong? Is it because of your mother?" he asked.Mom's words kept echoing in my mind. Guilt overwhelmed me, and I couldn't stop thinking about the wrong decision I made to marry Jeremy. I gambled on an idea of happiness that wouldn't work out. It's not right to marry someone you don't love, but I did it anyway.I felt like a terrible person. I didn't know how to fix what I had done. Jeremy deserved an explanation.He sat on the bed and patted the mattress for me to sit beside him."I'm so sorry, Jeremy," I covered my face in shame."Why are you sorry? Whatever your mother says doesn't matter. We're living our lives, Dana.""I married you because I saw an opportunity to rebuild my life and be happy again. But you know the truth, Jeremy," I grimaced."The truth? You love Demian, I know. You don't love me. We don't have to have this conversation, Dana. I know why I married you, and I'm not stupid. I know w
DanaThe closeness of Demian to my face made me nervous. I fell into temptation to look at his lips for a second and had to calm my impulses to kiss him. I didn't intend to stoop for him. A stupid kiss wasn't worth it. I had to control myself and not lose my mind.Jeremy would arrive any second, and I didn't want him to see Demian and me so close to each other.Demian knew the power he had over me. He read my gaze and noticed how sad I felt. My eyes reflected the love my heart had for him. But I was tired of Demian doing as he pleased and playing with me like that.I pushed him with all the strength I had and stepped away. Demian was surprised."Don't do that," I pointed with my finger."Don't you dare say nonsense," he warned."For once in your life, can you put yourself in my place? I think so poorly of you because you disappeared for over a week and didn't even answer my calls and messages.""I had to take care of an important matter.""More important than our children?""Rachel is
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
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
