"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. We just suffered the lo
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
DanaMom had a strange expression on her face. There was something she wanted to tell me. I knew my mother well and could tell when something was bothering her. I was worried that she had some relevant information that I didn't know about. Mom was a person who kept secrets, even from me. But I always discovered them because her gaze betrayed her.Mom noticed I was looking at her. Her eyes locked onto mine for a second, but then she looked away at the TV. I feared it was about Jeremy, and I didn't know it. Or about me. I couldn't stop looking at her."Mom," I said to get her attention.But my mother pretended to be calm and didn't look at me. Her eyes stayed fixed on the TV. She was definitely hiding something."What?""Mom, what's going on?""What are you talking about?" She changed the channel. She would do anything to avoid looking at me."I know you're hiding something from me.""Well, you're wrong. I'm not hiding anything from you."I reached out to take the remote from her hand.
Dana"I don't want to hear you anymore," I warned.My mother had anger in her eyes. I don't know what was going on with her, but it wasn't good. My mother surprised me with every passing second. She got up from her chair."Well, then I'm leaving, Dana," she announced, grabbing her things.I opened my eyes in surprise."You're leaving?""I won't come back to see you until you go back to Demian and admit that you love him," she declared.This had to be a nightmare. I couldn't believe the woman who raised me and whom I was extremely close to was telling me she wouldn't see me again until I went back to the person who betrayed me. My mother must have hit her head. I had never heard her speak so incoherently before. I felt betrayed by her. Her attitude offended me."Are you serious? Are you blackmailing me? You? My own mother?""I know you don't understand, Dana, but I'm doing this for your own good. Maybe someday you'll come to understand, and I hope it's soon because time is running out
Dana"What do you want, Rachel? What other threat are you going to make? Are you going to kill me for speaking up? Or what? It's always the same stupid promise to kill me, but you never do anything. Just do it already and end your stupid game. I'm tired of it," I challenged her. The hatred I felt for her was greater than the hatred I could feel for Demian. Rachel had the ability to make me hate her because she always found a way to bother me. But to the world, she was the perfect person, an angel, a great person, and incapable of hurting anyone."You must be upset," one of her heels tapped the floor in an irritating motion.I knew my words had provoked her. I could see it in her eyes, but Rachel didn't lose control as I had intended."Upset? Because of your presence? Yes.""No, because of what happened with your mother. I heard you had a fight with her and she left. Demian told me."What need did Demian have to talk about my personal affairs? It was none of his business. It was disres
DemianI decided to see Dana again after looking for her mother at the hospital station. The woman told me she would no longer take care of Dana and was stepping out of her life. I don't know what the hell happened, but I couldn't allow Dana to be left alone. If her mother was stepping aside, I had to stay close to Dana, despite our differences, because she had no one else.I visited Jeremy for a moment because he almost died. I was stunned by the news. I felt awful when the doctors told me that my former brother was not doing well at all. I asked endless questions about him. No matter how much I didn't want to admit it, Jeremy mattered too much to me, and I didn't want to lose him.The news hit us like a bucket of cold water.Jeremy had a complicated intervention when his heart stopped, damaging its functionality. In our werewolf pack, we never had to undergo surgery, and in just a few weeks, both Rachel and Jeremy had to undergo one. But the doctor attending us was a werewolf. He wa
DanaWhen I woke up sore from the heart surgery, the doctor explained what had happened. I barely had the strength for anything. There was no one in my room. But minutes after my doctor left, my least favorite person entered.Rachel. Again.It was clear from her eyes. She enjoyed it and had no problem letting me know. I don't understand how Demian doesn't see the kind of person he has beside him. He has found so many flaws in me, but for him, Rachel was the perfect woman."How is it possible that he doesn't see the kind of person you are?" I asked, my voice tired and shaky. I was a bit groggy."Would you like to hear the story of how we met again? Or has Demian already told you?"No, Demian never told me how the story began. I don't even understand why he never mentioned that he went out with my stepsister. He knew my father, and I've shown him pictures. He recognized him and never said anything."I'm not interested in knowing.""Oh, well, he and I met by chance at a bar. He left the
