Demian

It hurt to leave Rachel crying on the sidewalk, but neither of us was in the right frame of mind to have this conversation. We were both overwhelmed by our emotions.

I drove aimlessly, my head a mess. I didn’t realize I had taken the road back to her house until my car stopped a few meters from Dana's home. The lights were off. I had an uncontrollable urge to see her again.

I had no choice but to climb through the window. It wasn’t difficult for a werewolf like me. In my mind, I imagined Dana and me eating together in bed while watching something. Maybe she needed a good meal with some company. There might be things I never thought I’d see in Dana, but we lived together for years, so I knew her a bit: I knew Dana wasn’t feeling well, so I came to rescue her.

I planned to order food for both of us. In fact, a smile planted itself on my face as I imagined us together. There was no other place I wanted to be. But when I approached the window, I saw something that caused a pang in

    DanaDemian and I entered Amanda's house. Inside, it was as cozy as it was outside. Amanda led us to a special room for the tarot session. I learned she had also been a witch for over twenty years.The room had the scent of incense, which I liked, but the strong smell was overwhelming my nostrils and making me nauseous. The woman noticed and moved it away from me.“Sorry, dear. I need the incense for the reading. It’s another symbol of protection for me and the spaces.”I nervously played with my fingers. Demian unexpectedly took my hand and squeezed it. My eyes met his, and he gave me a reassuring smile. I don’t know how he did it, but Demian managed to calm me. I enjoyed the feel of his touch on my hand. My body still craved his touch all the time, and it was ecstatic when he touched me.“As I understand it, someone else has read the cards for you, and that’s where you discovered how real the curse is, right?” she asked. I nodded, and she smiled.“It’s a bit silly to think that I di

    DemianThings weren't going well between Rachel and me.Who would have thought our problems would start after we got married?During the months we had a beautiful and passionate relationship, but once we married, the problems began. Rachel was a complicated and immature person. I hadn't realized that before. Or maybe I did, but my emotions of anger and resentment made me believe that Rachel was the perfect woman for me, and now I see she isn't. We had stupid arguments all the time, but it might have to do with what happened with Dana the other night.I returned home because my son wouldn't stop crying for me to come back, but I told Rachel we wouldn't sleep in the same bed until she apologized to Dana. It was also an excuse not to sleep with her, as ever since I realized how confused I was, I felt repulsed sleeping next to her.I haven't been doing things right. For a long time, I thought my life was on track because I had pushed Dana out of it, but now my heart kept calling Dana back

    DanaAmanda had brought to light a secret I had hidden from Demian due to Rachel's threats.After the humiliation they put me through at the wedding dinner, I felt the need to tell Demian what that damn witch of a wife of his did to me when we divorced. But I couldn't say it or the real consequences of opening my mouth would hit me in the face.Demian looked at me expectantly, waiting for me to give Amanda an answer, but I had to lie. I couldn't expose Rachel, no matter how much the desire burned within me. Demian noticed my nervousness, but if he cornered me later, I would keep denying everything. However, I would have liked to be alone with Amanda to tell her the truth about Demian's wife. A woman-to-woman conversation.I think Amanda saw something in my eyes, but she didn't ask more questions."So you're saying someone might kidnap her in the future? Who would want to kidnap Dana? She has no enemies."I would love to see Demian's face if he knew he sleeps with the enemy every night

    DanaAmanda walked me to the exit and gave me a warm hug goodbye.Outside, Jeremy and Demian were waiting for me, both leaning against their respective cars with their arms crossed. I hoped they hadn't argued while I was inside."Remember to take care of yourself, Dana. Please. I'll see you next week, and I'll stay in touch to let you know what I've found out. Alright?" Amanda reminded me and gave me another hug."Thank you so much, Amanda. You've been very kind to me."I walked to the exit and over to Jeremy. I looked at Demian and smiled at him."Thanks for bringing me.""You shouldn't thank me. We haven't found any solution for this. We need to keep looking for alternatives.""Amanda will find out more. We can investigate on our own, but I want to keep seeing her. It did me good.""Did you good after all the things she said? That woman didn't tell us anything positive, Dana.""We need to have hope. I trust her, Demian. Respect that."Demian looked at me as if I were crazy. He pulle

    DanaI knew something was wrong as the guys walked towards Jeremy with malice. Instinctively, I took a couple of steps back."Jeremy, let's go," I said with fear.All I could think of were Amanda's words about the kidnapping. What if the kidnapping Amanda saw wasn't from the past but from the future? Did they want to abduct me?Jeremy wasn't afraid and stood in front of the guys abruptly. I think he noticed that they didn't intend to be friendly with him. But I didn't expect one of them to punch Jeremy in the face and the other to stab him with a silver dagger.Silver is poison to our kind. If the silver isn't removed from our body, the victim can die within minutes or seconds. We're just humans when silver doesn't penetrate.I screamed at the attack. I saw Jeremy writhing in pain and falling to his knees. Drops of blood fell, and I heard his insults towards the thugs."Dana, run!" Jeremy told me.I hesitated for a second, but I turned around and ran towards the entrance of the hospit

I had an issue with Rachel."Are you leaving again?" she asked, entering the room and crossing her arms. I was finishing getting ready."I have to go. She's waiting for me. We're having another ultrasound.""But I'm pregnant too, Demian. I feel like you're treating her differently from me."I wasn't in the mood to argue, and her words seemed likely to lead to a fight. I took a deep breath to calm myself."I'm not treating you differently. I'm with you every day, and I'm not with her. Dana has risks and needs to be checked weekly.""I have risks too," she clarified."But I'm always with you, Rachel. You never lack anything. My company is always with you. Dana needs my presence. I promised her I would be there for her weekly ultrasounds."Rachel remained silent, but it made me uneasy. I knew she was searching for the right words to counterattack. As I've m

    DanaAll I could think about was getting out of here. But my kidnappers wouldn't let me go. They didn't tell me their names to preserve their identities. However, they had no problem showing me their faces.I don't know what the hell Jeremy has been involved in, but it seems he's had trouble with heavy and dangerous businessmen and ended up in debt. Jeremy has refused to pay the debt, and they've taken action. Illegal action, to be precise.It turns out that the trip Jeremy took recently was to resolve these issues. But he resolved nothing. He asked me not to lie to him, but he lied to me about the trip. I was furious with him because his stupid business dealings put my life in danger. My kidnappers told me they wouldn't hurt me, but I couldn't trust them. They took away my freedom to settle an unresolved matter with my husband. They took something he valued to hurt him.

    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.

    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
