His Second Chance Mate 14: Dinner
BELLAI felt handicapped by Trevor's condition. It sent a surge of conflicting emotions through me. I was gripped by anger, and a strong need to protect my children. I hated the fact that Trevor was putting me in a position where I had to follow his demand.My heart felt heavy, a cold reminder of the consequences for defying Trevor.How dare he place my kids side by side with his demands? I wondered how much selfishness still lurked in that soul. I had no choice but to let him mark me. The thought of losing my kids to his domineering presence sent a cold shiver down my spine.Trevor demanded that we remain in his house.“A room will be set for you and one for the kids,” he said, with so much haughtiness.When I argued about my business suffering in my absence, he insisted that I called my assistants to take care of things. He seemed in control of the situation and I hated it. Everything I did was for my kids. I would climb mountains and cross oceans to keep them safe.***I woke up wi
Last Updated : 2023-11-24His Second Chance Mate 15: Can’t stop hating you
BELLAI was still trapped within the confines of Trevor's mansion. I felt caged. I yearned for my freedom. The luxurious furnishing of the mansion offered no solace, all I wanted was to return to my normal life, with my precious kids. The same ones Trevor was fighting to steal from me, with his dominating presence.Cara and Craig were the only reasons I was stuck here, in this prison. My love for them was stronger than my desire to escape. I longed for the comforting chaos of work. Creating designs was solace for me. From sketching to cutting to sewing, I missed everything.I was tired of being confined to this space.Trevor and the kids had gone for their planned ride. I decided to spend the time tending to myself. I needed to soak in a warm bath, something to distract me from the storm of emotions that were constantly raging in me.Since running into Trevor in that supermarket, my life had become a tumultuous mess.***The bath had the desired effect on me. I felt relaxed, my nerves

TREVORThe weight of Bella's words pressed on me. It echoed over and over, causing me discomfort as I walked back home. I had called her to wait, but she moved on, not looking back.“Nothing can erase the hate I feel for you…”Did she really mean those words?I sighed at the thought of her words. Guilt washed over me, I had allowed pride and desperation cloud my judgment.I carried on the weight of my regret as I went into my chamber.I felt tormented.My wolf shared my torment. There was a constant whisper in mind, reminding me of the pain I had caused my mate. The truth of my actions echoed through my soul, causing my heart to thump loudly.The rest of the evening left me feeling apprehensive. My heart felt heavy, a reminder of what I had done. I couldn't get my mind off Bella. I needed to make things right.A surge of determination flushed through me, I was going to make everything right, no matter what it took.I thought of the possible ways to go about it. I considered getting de

BELLAI deeply inhaled the scent of the forest as I turned towards the mansion. The adrenaline rush from the run gradually subsided, replaced with a sense of calmness I had not felt in a long time.I fell into a deep sleep on arriving at the mansion.I woke up feeling refreshed after a few hours of sleep. The temporary escape from my human form and its overwhelming emotions was worth it.I thought of Bella, as I stretched on my bed. I wanted to do right by her but her stubbornness was quite scary. I was worried about how she would act if I didn't apply force. The thought of losing my second chance mate was fucking scary.I thought of recent happenings and I realized her anger was growing into resentment. If things continued that way, I'll never be able to gain her trust.I made up my mind to be of better behavior.With the Luna festival just around the corner, I wanted to proceed with an official announcement that I had found my mate and we would be getting married soon.I trailed int

TREVORI woke up feeling excited. The look on Bella's face when I made her laugh flashed in my mind. The sound of her laughter filled my ears, causing me to smile. My heart pulsed, and a sweet sensation flushed over me.A spark had ignited between us and I wanted to build on it. I wanted to nurture it patiently until it grew into a flame of love. I didn't know if I was being selfish but I wanted more.I had work lined up for me that morning. My Beta had reached out to me, saying there were some paper works to sign. He also had some reports for me, regarding plans for the official announcement of Bella as my second chance mate.After all the work I had to do, I had a meeting with Ralph and my board of trustees. When I was done with everything, he reminded me of a function I had to attend later in the evening.I was going to turn it down, but then it occured to me that I could go with Bella.Getting home, I realized I hadn't set eyes on Bella the whole day, nor my kids. My heart swelled
Last Updated : 2023-11-25His Second Chance Mate 19: Without the kids
TREVORA wave of excitement washed over me as Bella agreed to do dinner with me. I felt a sense of accomplishment, it was safe to say I was making progress on winning her over. The anger in her eyes had dissipated gradually and there were more smiles. Hopefully, it gets better hereon.I was determined to make the dinner exceptional, so I went straight to the chief house assistant, Gina. An old lady in her late forties. I preferred giving direct orders to Gina since she knew just how to carry them out to the latter.“Tonight’s dinner is of utmost importance to me. There should be no mistakes” I said and they nodded in understanding, “Ensure you transform the dining room completely, I'll prefer a romantic and intimate setting,” I added.I gave clear instructions about the meal, the light, the music, the entire ambience of the place. I wanted it to be an enchanting experience for Bella. I wanted an alone time with my mate.***I met Bella halfway down the stairs, with a bouquet of roses.
Last Updated : 2023-11-25His Second Chance Mate 20: Without the Kids
BELLAI had thought the evening couldn't get any better.Trevor seemed quite reasonable, lately. The whole interest he showed in my work, asking me questions, watching my interviews, checking my blogs, and my social media pages…all of that caused emotions to well up in me.I knew I couldn’t just fall for that. Trevor was still the same arrogant Alpha but at least he was no longer using my children as threats to do his bidding. He asked politely and allowed me to decide if I was interested or not. Hence, when he asked me to dinner, with such calmness and respect, I decided to give him a chance.I took in the setting, the soft glow of lights, the orchestra playing in the background, the food, the decorations, everything. I could tell Trevor had put in effort to make the dinner special.The whole ambience was really relaxing for my tired bones and drained mind.We talked about work, then we began talking about the grand ball. I listened intently as Trevor shared the plans. Everything see

TREVORI stood motionless, watching Bella as she fumed with rage. I felt confused and frustrated at the same time. The heat of her anger was palpable. Everything I said fell to the ground, it was evident she was blinded by her emotions.I thought I was already making progress with her and I was already counting my wins. Bella was becoming relaxed around me. It felt like everything was falling in place and then I carelessly told her the twins will not be at the party. I blamed myself for blurting out such information to her. I should have considered how it would make her feel.Now I was back to square one.Bella's beautiful brown eyes had changed to a blazing amber due to her anger. She was looking at me with so much hate again. I thought we had gone past this phase.I was shocked by her interpretation of my words. How did she conclude that I was ashamed of my kids? I knew my decision to keep the kids away would come off as unfair but I had my reasons and she wasn't even giving me a ch

His Second Chance Mate 99
TREVORI rushed Bella to the hospital. The weight of everything Bella went through affected her heavily. As soon as we got to the hospital, Bella was put in a coma. I stayed by her side for a bit and rushed back home to see my kids.As soon as I got into the palace, the twins rushed out to me. A flood of emotion filled my heart. I crouched before them and embraced them tightly. I rubbed their heads and nuzzled them, “Where have you been daddy? We waited for you,” Cara said.“I'm so sorry baby. I was busy saving mummy,” I told them calmly.“Where is she?” Craig asked.“Is she in trouble?” Cara asked.“Mummy was in trouble. I saved her already. Now she is in the hospital,” I said, kissing Cara's forehead, “How are my babies doing?” I asked,“Did you miss me?” I asked, looking into their faces.They nodded but their faces turned worried immediately as they looked at me, “What happened to your face?” Craig asked, touching my face.“Here too,” Cara touched my arm.“I got in a very serious fi
His Second Chance Mate 98
TREVORI watched Bella rush towards Denver. I wasn't sure what exactly she had in her mind but when I saw her get close to Denver, I knew something was about to happen. She pushed him. I watched as he turned around and gave Bella a heavy blow. She fell to the ground and became static. I wanted to rush to her side but Denver was coming right at me.I was furious, seeing that Bella did not move at all. The fact that Denver had hit her so bad. It infuriated me that he would put her in that state. I was livid. He was supposed to face me, why Bella?Running to her was not the best decision at that moment. I had to be cautious. I could not let my guard down. I also could not let my emotions control my actions. If I could take out Denver, then I would be able to save Bella afterwards.I had intentionally spent time listening to Denver and engaging him in all that talk. It was very timely, giving me time to gather my strength. I was shocked at the length Denver went just to have his way. I t

BELLAI coughed, trying to catch my breath. I was horrified at the thought of Denver marking me. I could not just allow him to sink his evil teeth into me. I was extremely disgusted at Denver for everything he had done. His presence repelled me. I could not believe I had once trusted such a devil.I was losing my strength. It was taking too long for Trevor to arrive and I was tired of fighting. I felt him reaching for me. I felt his presence stronger and stronger but he was yet to show up. When Denver said he was going to mark me, it was as though I should scream Trevor's name.I was also careful not to let Denver know Trevor was coming. If I made it known that I had felt his presence, Denver would know I felt him from our mate bond. He would then ambush and kill him before he could save me. I knew better than to reveal anything to him.From the things he said, I found out he had planned to kill Trevor. The gunshot at the palace was not a mistake, neither was the idea of the rogues. I

TREVORI sprang up from where I was sitting. I had secured Bella's location using our mate and her scent. I could hear her screams. I could feel her fear from the sound of her voice. I was angry with myself for not thinking of using our mate bond since.I was running out of time. I could feel Bella's energy depleting. Her voice was becoming faint and it scared the hell out of me. I called out to Kasper and he showed up immediately. Together, we went in search of Bella.My heart was thudding heavily against my chest. I had an extreme height of desperation. It caused me to feel uneasy. I ran at a high speed, with my men following behind. The mate bond which I had struggled so hard to use was now in full bloom. I felt Bella's presence more than ever and it spurred me on.My mind was spiraling with different thoughts. Bella's face came into mind. I would never be able to forgive myself if something bad happened to Bella. I thought about all the moments we had shared. The sound of her lau

I stared at Bella as she lay on the ground. Her breath was ragged and she seemed to have bruised a side of her face. Her eyes blazed with fury as she stared at me. Whatever was going on in her mind, I knew she wasn't leaving the same.I went towards the window of the uncompleted building and scanned the area. I wanted to be sure no one was around. It was a highly secluded area and the building had been abandoned for years. Everything was covered in dust and no single person was around.I moved closer to her and placed my food on her rib. She winced as my foot made contact with her body, “I will not watch you insult me!” I said and applied pressure on her rib.She winced again and gritted her teeth. She looked up at me, shooting daggers from her eyes,“Get off me!” she roared.I turned to the rogues standing by and burst into laughter, “Did someone just raise her voice?” I asked in a mocking tone.They burst into laughter too. One of them said,“More like the whimper of a puppy,” he said

BELLASome things were unimaginable. And one of the highly unimaginable things was being kidnapped by Denver. How was it even possible that Denver was the enemy we had been looking for all along? I stared intently at him as he moved in circles, spitting gibberish.I had done my best to be friendly at the event. To me, we just had to make peace with the enemies since they were tired of the war. Little did I know it was all a ploy to perpetrate evil against Trevor and I. It all made sense, the sudden outbreak of diarrhea. Definitely some sort of poison had been served to weaken the guards.I thought of my situation in the palace when I was abducted. I didn't know if Trevor was alive or dead. I saw him fall to the ground after being shot. I was on my way to meet him when I was suddenly grabbed and lifted off the ground. In a bid to free myself, I lost my shoes and my phone.I had been unable to calm myself since the attack. What was happening to my children? I wondered what they were goi
His Second Chance Mate 93
TREVORI had gotten a lot of information from the rogue. Including the revelation of who my main enemy was. There was a very high chance that Denver was behind every disaster we had faced in the palace. I didn't want to draw conclusions until I found my wife.The rogue didn't know where I could find the kidnappers, but his partner did. He had been uncooperative, but I had to find a way to get the information out of him. He was my only link to finding Bella and capturing Denver.I walked over to him. He was stubborn as a mule. But at this point I had to do whatever I could to find Bella. If he could at least tell me where to find the rogues, it would be easier from there. I shoved him on the side and his body turned over. I bent down to whisper an irresistible offer to him, but I meant the shock of my life.He was dead.I gasped in shock as I stared down at him. Dead? What the fuck! It felt like the entire universe was working against me. My only lead to Bella's location had died! I ro
His Second Chance Mate 92
DENVERA surge of fury rose in me as Bella blatantly refused to profess love to me. I grabbed her by her hair, “Say it! Say you love me!” I yelled.“I do not love you!” she fired.I exhaled in frustration. My breath quickened as I turned from her. I began pacing. Bella was pushing me beyond my limit. I did all I could to hold back, “You have no idea what you are missing. I have put my life on the line for you, countless times. But do you appreciate it? No!” I exclaimed.I threw my head back with my hands on my waist. I thought of things I could do to make her succumb to me. I was overwhelmed with frustration, “I have shown you pure love. I have done so much to prove my love for you. Yet, you do not acknowledge me!” I shouted at her.She shifted and leaned on her limbs. I figured she was trying to take pressure off her knees. I moved over to her and made her kneel up. She winced and swore, “Serves you right, ungrateful bitch!” I cursed.Some of the rogues were standing around, watchin
His Second Chance Mate 91
TREVORI was livid. I wanted to squeeze life out of the rogues for coming to take Bella. Every second spent with them meant extra time for Bella in their dirty den. I had to intensify the torture. Time was running and I needed to find Bella as soon as possible.Kasper brought in my iron rod. It had turned red from excess heat. He handed it to me. I grabbed it by the handle and walked towards the rogues,“You punched me where it hurt the most. It's time to pay back!” I said, fiercely.I had seen fear in their eyes, especially the other rogues. But they didn't seem ready to talk. I didn't have time to play games. I was ready to kill anyone, if it meant finding Bella. I made up my mind to burn them if they refused to speak, I was willing to go the extra mile.As I moved closer, one of the rogues began trembling. I placed the iron at the hem of his pants. It began burning. He wriggled with a loud yelp, “I'll speak! I promise,” he cried out.He tried to push his chair backwards. In the proc
