Dana
Demian 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 handsome. I wanted to run and hug him. My heart couldn't understand why he did what he did. Why did he do this to me? I almost lost control and ran to beg for his forgiveness, but I wasn't to blame for any of what happened.
He left.
Hours later, I received a message from Demian that left me confused. He asked me to meet him in the parking lot near a park. A parking lot? Demian said he wanted us to sort things out privately. What did he mean by sorting things out?
Without asking too many questions, I went to the place he mentioned. I waited for him in the parking lot, just as he asked. I felt strange, but I had hope that Demian had opened his eyes. My heart was racing.
But minutes passed and Demian didn't arrive.
A black van rushed into the parking lot and almost hit me. I fell to the ground and thought of my children. I feared the fall might hurt them. Some guys got out of the van and roughly lifted me from the ground. I couldn't see their faces. I couldn't even fight back because they were too strong. They put me in the van and closed the door.
I wanted to fight. I was a werewolf. I had the strength to deal with them. But I fell asleep. They drugged me.
When I opened my eyes, I blinked several times to return my vision to normal. I felt dizzy and tired. I looked around slowly. I didn't know that dark and cold place.
I felt my hands tied behind my back and I panicked. I remembered what happened.
"Oh no... Help! Please, help me!" I screamed desperately.
I tried to break the ropes, but I couldn't.
"Don't bother screaming, because no one will hear you here."
The sound of her heels hitting the floor made me understand who it was. For a second, I thought this was Demian's doing, but he couldn't do something like this to me. Demian deceived me and betrayed me. He behaved like an idiot and broke my heart, but he wouldn't make me suffer like this.
It was Rachel. She lured me to the parking lot pretending to be Demian.
Rachel appeared in front of me.
"Surprise, dear little sister!" she showed me her evil smile.
"You... You were the one who lured me to the parking lot. Demian knew nothing about this."
"You have to admit you're foolish to believe that Demian would ask you to meet him in a parking lot. Please, Dana. I thought you were smarter than that. But you made it easy for me. Your desperation worked against you. What did you think? Did you really think Demian would genuinely apologize to you? Fix things?" she laughed loudly. "He's mine now, dear!"
I never thought Rachel was capable of doing something like this. She kidnapped me. After stealing my husband, she planned my abduction. We never got along, but I never thought her mental health was so affected to do this to me. I was her sister.
"You're my sister," tears escaped from my eyes. "Why are you doing this to me? What did I do to you? I know we never liked each other, but I love you, Rachel. We grew up together."
"You love me?" she laughed again. But suddenly, her smile disappeared, and she looked at me seriously.
I felt afraid of Rachel.
I feared for my life and the lives of my children. My children meant everything to me. Every passing second, I fell more in love with my pregnancy. I loved them. I couldn't allow that damn lunatic to hurt them. Fortunately for me, Rachel had no idea about it.
"I never loved you, Dana. You're a burden to me in the family and I should kill you right now," she took out a gun from her pants and pointed it at my head.
The world stopped for me. My heart almost jumped out of my chest.
"No, please! Don't do this to me! I'll do whatever you want, but don't kill me!" I pleaded.
She smiled.
"Of course, you'll do what I order, Dana. I want you to leave the city soon. I'll give you a few days to do it. And if you don't, I'll kill you and them..." Rachel looked at my belly.
Wait a minute. Did she know? Did she know about my children?
I felt terrified.
"Yes, Dana. I know the truth. You can't trust anyone these days, right? Your doctor betrayed you with me. Do you realize? I always win."
"I don't know what you're talking about," I pretended.
"It won't help you to pretend, Dana. You're pregnant with twins. So listen to me well, little sister," she grabbed my hair and got closer to my face. "Demian is mine. I don't want you to ever go near him. Demian will never know about your children, understood? You'll leave the city and never come back."
"Or what?" I challenged her, but I knew it was a mistake.
"I won't hesitate to kill you. Nor your children, bitch."
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
DanaThis is definitely not a place for me.I felt disoriented. I entered a bar. I saw they were looking for someone to work serving drinks. I was never good with drinks since I wasn't used to drinking, so I had no idea about the types of alcohol or how to prepare them. However, I wanted to have a job. I needed it.A girl attended to me."We haven't opened yet, dear," she kindly informed me."I didn't come to drink anything. I came to look for a job. I saw the sign at the entrance and wanted to try my luck here.""Do you have experience with drinks?""No," I made a face."Then, I don't think you'd be suitable for the job. They're looking for a bartender. Besides, the boss wants to hire a man."I felt disappointed. I knew my job search had just begun, but I felt desperate. The money I had saved wouldn't last me a lifetime. Demian took everything from me."Is there someone I can talk to? I'm not an expert in drinks, but I learn fast. Please, I need a chance."The girl made a face."I'm
DemianI remembered what happened between Dana and me.Leaving Dana has been a very tough decision, but I was forced to do it after finding out what she did. After what Rachel told me about my wife, I was surprised by the woman I had married.I never thought Dana would be capable of keeping me away from our three-year-old son and threatening her stepsister. But that's what she did. So, I had to decide to leave her and found solace in Rachel's arms when I found out her son was also mine. When I saw Rachel's pain over what happened, I was deeply moved. I decided to protect her.Before I knew it, I had fallen in love with Rachel again and found myself in a secret relationship. I didn't like being cruel to people; I've been tough and treated Dana coldly with my actions. My hurting heart couldn't act any other way.It's been two months since Dana and I parted ways, and I haven't stopped thinking about the day I rejected my ex-wife. I don't understand why Dana didn't beg me to stay with her.
DanaThe wave of emotions ate away at my heart.Two months have passed since Demian and I divorced. My belly was growing naturally, and the thought of someone finding out terrified me. The idea of Demian finding out through Jeremy terrified me.Jeremy and I had grown closer, but I still didn't feel completely trusting of him. Jeremy swore he was no longer friends with Demian, but I couldn't believe him. The person I trusted the most was Demian, and he betrayed me with my stepsister. Why would I believe Jeremy?Yet, he was so kind to me. Since I was hired at the cafe thanks to him Jeremy hadn't left the city. I knew he had too much work in the city where he currently resided, but Jeremy refused to leave because he wanted to be near me.There was a knock on my apartment door. It was Jeremy.I smiled at him."And those roses?" I asked, seeing him with a bouquet."They're for you," he offered them. "I know you like roses. I saw them on my way and felt like buying them for you. Plus, they'l
DanaI'm left alone again.Jeremy left for the airport hours later. My work schedule started soon, so I got ready to go down to the cafe.I was lucky that Jeremy got me an apartment above my workplace. It was comfortable, and I didn't have to worry about commuting in the city.Now I understand that Jeremy helped me so much because of the love he felt for me. I always felt strange about the attention he had for me, but today I learned the reason. He was in love with me. I never realized it. Demian never told me. I didn't even notice that they stopped being friends because of it.The most surprising thing of all is that Jeremy discovered my pregnancy and didn't say anything about it. He respected my silence and didn't pressure me to tell the truth. My shoulders had one less burden to carry. I felt relieved to talk to Jeremy about my children because it was tough to hide my belly from him. Eventually, he would find out, and he did.Jeremy asked me to be his girlfriend. I told him I would
DanaI felt between a rock and a hard place.I knew Demian wouldn't stop asking about our kids. I tried to steer the conversation away, but I know he was very clear about why he came to see me. I have no idea how he found out, but he did and that was a big problem.I panicked, but I tried to calm down so he wouldn't notice my desperation.Seeing those eyes brought back a thousand memories from the past. Seeing him shocked me. I had never gone so long without seeing Demian, but after the divorce, everything changed. It was inevitable to think about how much I loved him. But I couldn't dwell on his beauty and memories. The past no longer existed.There was a knock on the door. I felt a pinch of relief because it was my way of getting rid of Demian. However, my werewolf senses detected the scent of a perfume I knew well: Jeremy's perfume.I didn't know what to do. Should I open the door? If I did, Demian would realize that his ex-best friend was here. I didn't owe him anything, but I knew
DemianShit.Everything has changed.After knowing the truth, I knew I couldn't stand idly by. I had to find Dana and confront her for what she did. I was so furious and desperate to see her and tell her so many things. The anger consumed me.I thought about Rachel. She wouldn't like the idea of me being the father of Dana's children, but it was reality. Rachel deserved to know the truth at some point and support me on this journey, as it wasn't easy. However, the idea of being a father wasn't repulsive to me, but rather how recklessly Dana acted.What kind of person hides their children? Dana had no right!I had to lie to Rachel, telling her I had a work trip tomorrow. She didn't suspect anything but insisted on coming with me. I tried to convince her not to, but I couldn't. Rachel and I traveled to Kansas. She couldn't know what I would do.When we landed in the city, I felt nervous. I had the address of the café where Dana worked. Seeing her after all this time made my heart race. I
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
