Dana

I looked up at Rachel. She was hiding a smile beneath that distressed expression. I pretended to be desperate and helpless to play the victim. Rachel sat on the couch and cried inconsolably. Demian went to comfort her and hugged her with love and regret.

"Rachel, calm down. You might hurt the baby," Demian reminded her.

Meanwhile, I stayed kneeling on the floor, watching them. Demian stroked Rachel's hair and kissed her head.

"I'm tired of Dana, Demian. Look at everything she's done to us! Our wedding night should have been special, and we ended up fighting because of her. She made me look like the bad one, and you got mad at me because of it," Rachel tried to break free from Demian's grasp dramatically.

But Demian, equally dramatically fooled, didn't let her go and protected her in his arms. My skin longed to feel the warmth emanating from Demian's body. My skin screamed to be protected. My eyes envied what they saw. I felt the urge to tell the truth, but it was already too la

  • Rejected: the secret babies of the alpha   94: Bad feeling

    DanaIf there was something I didn't expect to happen, it was losing my vision.When I went to bed at night, I could see completely, but now I could only differentiate shapes. I knew it was a progressive symptom of the curse. I wondered if my vision would return soon, as it could be temporary. But what if it didn't come back? I didn't want to be left without vision. I needed it. This complicated things."I'll take you to the hospital for some tests, Dana. I can't leave you like this," Jeremy sounded worried.He helped me sit on the edge of the bed and helped me get dressed. It was so strange to get dressed without being able to see. I don't know if it was just my impression, but I felt clumsy."What if my sight doesn't come back, Jeremy? What am I going to do? I don't want to be left without seeing anything," I whimpered."We'll solve it. I'll call Demian to tell him.""No! Not Demian. Don't tell him anything, Jeremy."I was surprised that Jeremy wanted to talk to Demian about it. He

    DemianI ran to the hospital entrance to meet Jeremy. I felt desperate when I didn't see him anywhere. I needed to find him soon to know what had happened. I saw him standing at the end of the hallway, arms crossed, leaning against the wall. His head was down, and he looked devastated."Jeremy!" I raised my voice to get his attention.Jeremy looked up and sighed. His gaze was always filled with hatred and conflict when he saw me, but not this time. Jeremy looked tired and lost. He didn't have the strength to fight with me. I felt a bit of pity seeing his defeated demeanor. At another time, I would have hugged him, but now I preferred to keep the hug to myself. We no longer had the same trust to do so.Besides, it wasn't time for hugs. I urgently needed to know what had happened and why I wasn't called in time. It wasn't possible that I found out from one of Dana's neighbors instead of her husband. Dana and I had a pact that I would be informed of everything during her pregnancy. It wa

  • Rejected: the secret babies of the alpha   96: The passing of the months

    DemianI clumsily looked at my phone. My vision was somewhat blurry, but I managed to see my wife's name.My wife... My real wife was Dana, but I married Rachel.Bad decisions appeared in my mind. I suppose I was vulnerable and they attacked me. I ordered another bottle of alcohol, but they refused to sell me more. They said they would call a taxi to come pick me up and take me home, but I didn't want to go back home to Rachel.“Please, buddy! Give me one more bottle... My wife is dying in the hospital because of the curse I brought on her by cheating on her with her stepsister... I need a bottle to forget my problems!”But after so many bottles, the pain did not leave my heart. My conscience was not relieved by the numbness the alcohol generated. There was nothing that could stop my pain.They asked for my phone to call someone. I think they called Jeremy, but I couldn't confirm it, as I didn't have the strength to check. I sat waiting until he stood at the bar's door. He judged me w

    Dana“How long was I asleep?” I asked, distressed.Demian and Jeremy looked at each other and then at my belly. I touched my stomach and thought about my children. They had apparently grown well while I was unconscious. I knew it wasn’t my fault, but it felt horrible not to have been present during this time with my children. I hadn’t been able to enjoy my pregnancy and didn’t know how much time I had left. Being in a coma for a while meant the curse was worsening. I didn’t know why my body had awakened, but I was grateful. However, fear tormented me again.“More than two months,” Demian grimaced. He was the one who answered.Now I understood why he was here. Now I understood why he came to see me. He thought I was dying. But that was what he wanted, right? That’s what he told me last time. Well, it wasn’t exactly his words, but I knew he wished it. Demian hated me. Or maybe his anger had softened over time. But I couldn’t pretend as if nothing had happened because, for me, only a few

    DemianRachel left me in the kitchen and hurried to the living room. Her quick steps made me nervous; she shouldn’t be running. Rachel was about to go up the stairs, but I stopped her. Her face was a sea of tears and frustration. She yanked her arm from my grasp.“It was an accident,” I excused myself, but deep down, I knew it wasn’t true.My mind was so preoccupied with Dana.“I want you to leave the house. I don’t want to see you in my house today. Understand? Take your clothes and go to sleep in a hotel. I don’t even want you in the guest room,” she demanded.I had bought the house, but Rachel was my wife, so it was also hers. She kicked me out, and even though I didn’t have to listen to her, I decided to do what she asked. Rachel wasn’t in the mood for me to bother her, and I thought it best to give her space to calm down. I wasn’t going to solve anything today because she didn’t want to see me at all.“I’m really sorry, Rachel,” I sincerely felt remorseful.“Go to hell, Demian. I

    DanaI woke up for the doctors to run tests on me. The doctors were doing a thousand tests, which seemed unnecessary since they still hadn't found an answer. I knew this would mean more days in the hospital, but at any moment I was going to take my things and leave without permission.Jeremy arrived in my room shortly after they brought me back. He walked towards me with a smile and kissed me. Jeremy no longer had his messy hair or stubble on his cheeks. He looked like the Jeremy I remembered before I fell into a deep sleep.“Where were you?” I asked. “I thought you’d be here when they finished running tests on me.”“I went to have breakfast in the cafeteria, darling,” he explained. “I was with Demian.”“Demian is here?”“Yes, he's been here since early.”I didn't know if I was ready to see him again. Demian made my breathing short after so many months. His presence intimidated me and disrupted my behavior. Jeremy had something strange in his eyes, but I didn't want to ask. I wasn’t w

    Demian"Don't worry, I'll be fine, Demian," said Rachel, touching her belly.No, she wasn't going to be fine. Rachel was so excited about having another child with me because she couldn't share her first pregnancy with me. It was special for her that we were expecting a child together. I feared she would become depressed. I've seen how different Rachel is compared to months ago. Since we've had so many problems because of Dana, her face has changed. She looked nervous all the time and on the verge of breaking down. A blow like this would completely devastate her. I never knew I would have to deliver such hard news to anyone."Rachel, we need to talk, honey," I said with a grimace.Tears immediately came to my eyes. I wanted to be strong so they wouldn't fall, but I couldn't hold them back. It hurt so much. I always wanted to be a father, and life rewarded me with a beautiful three-year-old boy. I felt blessed to learn another one was on the way, but I've lost him, and I can't stop fee

    DanaI had to force Jeremy to go home and rest. My mother was going to stay with me again since Jeremy had been with me for months without returning home. Jeremy reluctantly agreed to leave. He gave me a kiss and left.Mom hadn't arrived yet. She sent me a text apologizing for the delay because the traffic was crazy today. I asked the nurse if I could take a walk around the hospital to avoid going stir-crazy. I needed to see something different. The room made me feel suffocated. They let me walk, but only if I used a wheelchair. My doctors were overprotective because of the pregnancy, but after what happened to Rachel, I wasn't going to take any risks.I moved the wheelchair to get around. The night fell quickly. Demian hadn't come to see me since this morning. We hadn't heard anything more about him except that Jeremy saw him in the men's bathroom, and he didn't look well. But they didn't talk, and Jeremy preferred not to ask him anything. Demian didn't seem friendly. I wondered what

    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.

    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
