His Second Chance Mate 66
DENVERI got fully involved in the planning process of the party. How else was I supposed to know when to pull some strings in favor of Mara's plan? There was a lot of running around in the palace. I saw that Bella and Trevor were doing their best to have an amazing celebration for their kids. I hated that I had to contribute to ruining their effort.Even though I wasn't in my best mood, I couldn’t avoid Bella and Trevor. I had to be involved in what they were doing. I helped with the arrangement and finishing touches for the party. However, I was uncomfortable. If Mara's idea pulled through this time, it would be a very sad occurrence in the palace.Although it meant I could finally rest, I wasn't ready to go that route.I caught myself pacing in agitation. Bella must have noticed my uneasiness. She walked up to me and placed her hand on my shoulder. I turned sharply to see who it was. A sigh escaped my throat as I saw her standing beside me.She held my hand and pulled me into a co

BELLAThe birthday party was going on smoothly. I felt content by how we were able to put a smile on the face of people. They ate, drank and were merry. The twins on the other hand were extremely happy.It was time for them to give a speech of appreciation to the people. Cara and Craig were beaming with smiles and so was I. I stood behind them, my hands on their shoulders. Trevor on the other hand was occupied in a conversation with his friends.He turned and winked at me when the twins began speaking. I laughed as my heart swelled with pride.The party was not a bad idea after all, I thought.But that was the end of it. Within a twinkle of an eye, everything was ruined.The party that had been going so well became a shooting scene. I had never been so shocked in my entire life. It felt like I had tasted death. The sight of Denver shielding me with his body just couldn't leave my mind. I thought of what would have happened if Denver had not been there.Trevor looked at me. Our eyes me

MARAI couldn't understand what exactly was going on. It was either Denver was for me or against me. I made up my mind to find out what exactly he was up to. I had gotten information from my ally that Denver was rushed to the hospital immediately after getting hit by the bullet.I got on a brown woolen coat and matching shoes. The muffler on my neck was high enough to shield my chin. I had on a pair of thick dark shades.I went into the clinic with anger against Denver. He’d better have a good explanation waiting for me, or be ready to face my wrath.I peeped through the window and saw Denver was alone. With purposeful strides I walked into the ward. He turned slowly to see who it was. He jolted as he saw me standing akimbo. There was so much hate in my heart and eyes. In that moment, I just wanted to strangle him.“Mara,” he mumbled.I scowled at him, “Look what you've done to yourself,” I began.“Please, Mara. I am not in the mood for this. If you are here to cast blame then…”He w
His Second Chance Mate 69
DENVERI lay in the bed, my thoughts spiralling. Mara’s words echoed in my ears. I knew Mara. I knew how dangerous she could be. If she saw me as a threat, then she would take me out. I decided to reach out to her.I placed a call to Mara. I thought of ways to set things right with her. She finally took my call. Her voice was laced with anger and bitterness as she spoke to me. I resorted to apologies. I told her I didn't know why I behave the way I did.I blamed my actions on the drug I took. I told her it made me hyper and that was why I spoke rashly to her. It took a long time for Mara to accept what I was saying. I figured another way to pacify her, “I have a plan now, Mara. I have come up with a better way to take out Bella,” I said and waited for a response.She was mute for a while, “Some plan you'll ruin again?” she asked.Mara’s disgust was palpable.She wasn't one to let go of a fault so easily. I sighed and continued, “I have no intention of ruining the plan. I know I have
His Second Chance Mate 70
BELLAAfter the shooting incident, I had very high regards for Denver. I appreciated the fact that he risked his safety and took a bullet for me. But I just couldn't get my mind off what he said said at the clinic. First he tried to kiss me. Before I could get over that, he confessed he had feelings for me.I caught myself thinking about it severally. I tried to wave it off but somehow it didn't sit well with me. He had said we didn't have to dwell on it. And I seriously hoped he meant that. He was Trevor's best friend. He could not possibly expect that anything could happen between us.It was not long before he got discharged from the clinic. I felt a lot better knowing he did not sustain any internal injuries. We welcomed him back to the palace. Everyone had their good wishes for him. We did all we could to ensure he felt loved and welcomed.I tried to spend more time with Denver. After his confession, I was more cautious around him. Going by his words, I knew he was in love with me
His Second Chance Mate 71
TREVORI walked through my balcony. Thoughts of the recent happenings in the palace filled my head. I still had not gotten over the fact that Bella was a target in the shooting incident. I thought of how Denver stood up for her. He protected my woman like a true friend would. Due to my busy schedule, he had offered to help manage things at the palace. My Betta was always with me on business trips and other occasions. After the recent happenings, I needed someone I could trust in my absence. And Denver had proven himself worthy of my complete trust. I could trust him to protect my wife and kids…and the entire palace.Even after the shooting incident, I noticed Denver pulled closer to me. Every single day, he did things to prove the bond of our friendship. We went out together. We shared most of our old time memories. It was Denver's idea that we recreate some of the things we did years ago.Denver and I went fishing, skiing, camping, hunting and so on.On one of our adventures, we de
His Second Chance Mate 72
DENVERI gripped the stick in my hand tighter as I listened to Trevor's story. I became furious by the things he said. I turned my back to him. I didn't want him to see how much hate I had in them. Or how angry I was.If Trevor knew how much I wanted to end his life, he wouldn't be here with me.He went on about how he met Bella nine years later. How dare he talk like she was meant for him? Such audacity! Who the fuck was he anyway? He put Bella through so much pain. He still had the guts to say it was not intentional?To think he and Mara connived to ruin Bella's life. Mara had put Bella through so much stress and still wanted her dead. How selfish! Trevor had always been at Mara’s beck and call. I thought of how domineering Mara was, no wonder they were together.And Trevor, after all he put her through. He just barged into her life and suddenly she was his mate. I wanted to squeeze life out of Trevor. He did not deserve to be alive. He belonged in the grave, just beside his partne
His Second Chance Mate 73
DENVERI stared at Trevor as he began dozing off. I tried all I could to keep him awake. I had put in so much effort to prepare the poison. I was so sure it would give me the desired result. But Trevor…he ruined everything. Trevor fell asleep without taking the poison I prepared.I was so furious as I stared down at him wickedly.This is just the beginning, I thought to myself.He put most, if not all of my effort to waste. I made up my mind that I won't give up. As far as I was concerned, Trevor would not return to the palace alive. If Trevor kept living, I had too much to lose. First I had to get Bella away from him. No, rescue her from his evil claws.I walked away from him. I felt an urgent need to clear my head. I also needed to come up with something as soon as possible. A better plan. Something he could not beat. The poison was my best bet though. All he had to do was drink.He was supposed to just drink the damn poison!My mind wandered off to Mara. It was her fault that she g

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

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
His Second Chance Mate 97
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
His Second Chance Mate 96
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
His Second Chance Mate 95
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
