Dana

I 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

    DemianDana was kind to me and listened to me talk for almost an hour. I didn’t want to break down in tears in front of her, but I couldn’t hold back. In any case, I was glad I had cried in front of her and not someone else. Dana knew what words to use to soften my heart, and her touch on my hair drove me crazy. I felt like I was in the right place. I believe it wasn’t a coincidence that we met on the balcony. I didn’t think I would open up so much to her, but when it came to Dana, everything was uncertain. She and my children were everything to me. I wish I could tell her what I feel for her.But her mother interrupted us and opened the door to the room. She froze when she saw us together. Dana was still hugging me but slowly let go due to the discomfort. Her mother didn’t comment, but I know she didn’t like seeing us together. I’m sure she noticed my tired face.“Hello, Mom,” Dana greeted.I straightened up, quickly wiped my tears, and got off the bed. It was time to leave. Rachel w

    DanaRage consumed me. Thinking about that woman made my skin crawl.I thought she would stop. I believed her madness would pause after what happened to her child, but I think I was wrong. Rachel has attacked again now that she knows I’ve woken up. Jeremy told me that Rachel and Demian were having marital problems because Demian loved me. That’s reason enough for her to want to ruin my life. She has made it clear in the past. She would show no mercy and make my life hell until she killed me, but I didn’t think she would go after Jeremy. He had nothing to do with what happened between Demian and me. If Demian loved me and not her, Rachel had to sort it out with Demian, not with my husband.I can’t find any other logical explanation. It wasn’t my kidnappers because they got what they wanted. Or did they come back for more? No. Rachel had to be responsible for this. Something in my gut told me so. An internal fire made me want to scream. Demian’s face expressed so much confusion, and I w

    DanaOfficer Peter told me they would take my statement when other officers arrived at the hospital. Demian was being interrogated in a hospital room for comfort and to avoid fights with me. He was probably defending his wife tooth and nail against my accusations. But I wasn't going to stop until I saw her behind bars for what she did to Jeremy.It hurt to think that Demian believed I was going crazy. I knew my accusations didn't make sense, but they didn't make sense to him. Demian was blind. He saw what he wanted to see. And I wouldn't forgive him for humiliating me in front of the officers, making them think I was crazy.An officer came into my room to take my statement. I was nervous about speaking, but I made sure fear didn't stop me. I was tired of living under Rachel's threats, so it was time to lay the cards on the table. However, it was too risky. My statement didn't mean she would be imprisoned soon, and that made me Rachel's target. I didn't even want to imagine what would

    "Why do you think Dana is accusing your wife, sir?"If there's anything that pains me in this world, it's Dana attacking Rachel after the loss we've endured. It seemed like Dana had lost her heart during her coma. I don't know what she's trying to achieve with this. Her desire for revenge against Rachel persists. I believe Dana wants to make Rachel's life miserable, as she's made it clear she intends to imprison her.Dana doesn't realize that she can ruin Rachel's life, but I'm here to prevent that. I had a bad taste in my mouth after the argument we had in front of the police. They interviewed us in different locations, and soon they would be seeing Rachel for her statement. I feared Rachel's spirits would drop when the police interviewed her. This was unfair to her. She had just mustered the strength to get out of bed and carry on with her life."Dana is obsessed with my wife. I believe some enemy of Jeremy attacked him, but my wife has nothing to do with it.

    DemianI drove home to talk to Rachel. I had no idea if the police had already been to the house to talk to her, but I wanted to make sure I was the first to tell Rachel what was going on. I knew Rachel would hate Dana when she found out what she had done. I feared the accusation would hurt her so much that Rachel would become deeply depressed.I arrived home, and she greeted me with open arms. She wasn't expecting me home so soon.“Is everything all right?” She stroked my face. “You look worried, Demian. Has something happened?”I took her by the waist and pulled her close to me.“What’s going on?” she asked.“I’m sorry, Rachel. I tried to stop this, but I couldn’t. The accusation is serious, so they’re going to investigate you.”“I don’t understand anything you’re saying,” she pulled away from me. “What are you talking about, Demian?”“Jeremy was attacked in the hospital by two men. They slashed his throat with a silver weapon. He’s in critical condition in the ICU. The doctors say

    DanaMy heart almost stopped when I heard the news.I couldn't imagine a world where Jeremy wasn't present. Guilt overwhelmed me for not having been good to him. I never treated him badly, but I failed him several times because of my stupid feelings. I deceived him lied to him and almost used him unintentionally to forget about Demian. That was the guilt that was eating me up: having used him. He gave me his heart, and I wasn't able to give him the same in return. Jeremy always hoped to be loved by me, but I could never give him that satisfaction. I gave him headaches, but not the kind of love he asked for.Jeremy was a light in that dark tunnel I plunged into when Demian kicked me out of the house and abandoned me. He helped me so much not to give up when I wanted to give up everything. I needed him to wake up so I could give him what he always wanted. He couldn't leave this world without giving me the opportunity to love him. I regretted so much the time I wasted dwelling on Demian

    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?

    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.

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.
