Rejected: the secret babies of the alpha 21: I'll stay with you
DanaJeremy ignored me when I asked him to stop. He slammed the door shut and left, leaving me there alone. I didn't want to lose him, as he was the only person I had left.I stayed alone in the apartment, analyzing our recent conversation. I felt guilty, but I knew I wasn't. My decision was right and sensible. It scared me, but Jeremy had no right to be angry with me for that. He couldn't expect me to choose him to be the father of my children when he wasn't. I'm sure Jeremy would behave like an excellent stepfather, but it was Demian's role to be the father.I went down to work at the cafe. It was my turn to open it, so I got ready and arranged the tables and chairs. The customers didn't take long to arrive.I served the customers, begging for a moment of peace. My morning had just begun, and I was looking forward to my break. The conversation between Jeremy and me lingered. Soon, I would call Demian to tell him about the possible decision I would make to make peace between us.But
Rejected: the secret babies of the alpha 22: Fever
DemianRachel and I have been having issues ever since she found out about Dana's secret babies. She was scared that Dana would tear us apart again. Rachel insisted that Dana was evil and capable of anything to break us up, but I assured her that wouldn't happen between us.However, Rachel asked me never to go back to Kansas. She wanted us to leave immediately and leave Dana behind, but I couldn't do that. I didn't care about Dana as a person because she hurt me. My heart still bled from her past actions. But my children were inside her, and I couldn't abandon them. I would never forgive myself for that."You're crazy! How could you even think about taking Dana to California, Demian? No way! I don't want her near us, and I don't like that you want to take care of her kids. Demian, you and I are going to start a family, don't you understand? You don't even know if her babies are yours. Don't believe what she says.""I believe they're my children because I've looked into her eyes, Rache
Rejected: the secret babies of the alpha 23: Condition
DanaWhen I opened my eyes, I was in my bed. I didn't remember how I had gotten there, but I did remember feeling unwell. In fact, I still felt a bit queasy and tired. I sat up in bed, and the smell of food caught my attention.That smell... I knew it. It was the sauce that Demian used to make for me when we were together, and he felt like cooking. But Demian wasn't the one cooking for me, as we were no longer together. I remembered Jeremy and our fights. It wasn't possible for Jeremy to be cooking for me. Who was it? Who was in my house?I walked down the hallway. I heard a noise in the kitchen. I peeked through the door and saw him cooking just like always. It was Demian. He moved around my kitchen, unaware of my presence, cooking attentively and stirring the sauce.A pressure settled in my chest as I missed the past. I missed when everything was okay between us. For some time now, all we seemed to do was fight and disrespect each other."Demian?" I said his name, confused.He turne
Rejected: the secret babies of the alpha 24: You left her
DanaJeremy entered the room and saw us together.Demian and I were sitting on the bed facing each other, eating as if nothing bad had ever happened between us. I didn't have to be a mind reader to realize that this would cause problems between Jeremy and me. If he was angry with me before, I couldn't imagine how angry he would be now.Jeremy looked at Demian, clearly not understanding anything. His eyes met mine, and I could see it in his gaze. Jeremy was disappointed and uncomfortable."Jeremy, what are you doing here?""Rather, what is he doing here? In your room," Jeremy clarified. Yes, he was definitely angry."Is there something wrong with that? I'm accompanying the mother of my children. I came to take care of her because she needed me. I'm not like you. You left her and didn't even realize she was burning with fever and almost lost consciousness," Demian didn't have to say that. I know he did it to create a conflict between them.If Demian wanted to help me feel better, he was
Rejected: the secret babies of the alpha 25: Defenseless
DanaI was stunned by Jeremy's words. He ended our relationship because of my decision."Fine! Go! I don't want someone in my life who can't support me. This isn't about us. It's about my children and what's best for them."Jeremy ignored me and left. I followed him down the hallway, almost running after him. I wanted to say. So many things to him, but time wasn't on my side.Jeremy left.I held back tears for a few minutes but ended up crying in my room from the horrible feeling consuming my body. Part of me wished Jeremy would come with me to California because I didn't want to feel alone. His company was a remedy for my broken heart. A temporary but beautiful remedy.I could hardly sleep all night. I had to get up early for work and repeat my day as I usually did. I didn't hear anything from Demian that day, which disappointed me. It was contradictory because whenever we saw each other, I kicked him out of my house. But after what happened because of him in my apartment, I wanted t
Rejected: the secret babies of the alpha 26: Apologies?
DanaRachel's expression upon seeing Demian was inexplicable. I couldn't help but smile a little.Demian caught her almost red-handed. His visit to the house hadn't been well received since he arrived in town, but today I was glad he came to see me.Rachel looked at me, and I could swear her gaze demanded that I behave. Demian couldn't take his eyes off her. The situation was uncomfortable for all three of us, but I enjoyed watching how Rachel behaved."I came to see Dana, Demian," she replied."Yes, but why? How do you know she lives here?"Demian's question was crucial. Rachel tensed. She wanted to tell Demian that Rachel had been investigating me. She always knew everything."I wanted to apologize to Dana," she replied. "I know I shouldn't have done it, but the other day I followed you here, Demian. That's how I know where Dana came from.""You came to apologize?"Apologies? Rachel had no shame in lying to her future husband."Yes. I came to convince Dana to come back to California
Rejected: the secret babies of the alpha 27: Goodbye
Dana "Do you expect me to believe that curse exists? Dana, those are stupid lies people have made up over the years," he opined, but he had no idea. I wished what Demian said was real, but a feeling in my chest screamed that I was right. The curse was real, and I saw it in myself every day. My health was deteriorating every day. Doctors attributed certain symptoms to pregnancy, but they said there was something wrong with me, and they couldn't find an answer. "Why do you think the doctors don't know what's wrong with me, Demian?" He narrowed his eyes. "You said you know. You told me you're anemic and you'll get better," Demian recalled. The weight of my lies fell upon me. "I lied to you so you wouldn't bother me," I admitted. Demian remained silent, looking at me. Part of him didn't believe me, but another part did. I noticed something strange in his gaze. Was it guilt? Remorse? Was he going to apologize to me for what he did? I lowered my gaze for a moment. It was hard to ke
Rejected: the secret babies of the alpha 28: I'm going with you
DanaI was glad that Demian and I could finally reach a mutual agreement without fighting. But I felt sad because I had no idea about Jeremy. After the voicemail I left him, I've been waiting for a response from him, but he hasn't spoken to me. I felt disappointed, but part of me understood Jeremy.Demian returned to my house a day later with plane tickets in his hands. Demian had been behaving decently since I agreed to go with him. It was peaceful to talk to him without arguing, but it still felt strange."Have you told Rachel that I'm going with you to the city?" I felt nervous."No. You asked me not to, and I didn't. I don't like hiding anything from her, but I didn't tell her," he replied.It was stupid to think about it, but it was painful to hear that he didn't like hiding anything from Rachel. He deceived me and didn't tell me until later. He did hide things from me. I suppose she was more special to him. Otherwise, Demian wouldn't have left me. But who wants a man like that b
