His Second Chance Mate 78
DENVERThe rogues held me down and forced me to sit on the ground. I objected with a frown. One of them removed the hair I was wearing and threw it away. I gasped as I looked at him with disgust. I shook my head, I should have been more careful.Again, I was in another stress situation because of Trevor. I was held down by rogues. I wasn't even sure of my fate. What exactly would their boss do when he finally came out? “Why do I feel like you are a spy? Who sent you?” One of the men asked.“No one sent me. I came here for business,” I said looking from one to another.“Then why the disguise? If you are here for business, you should just come as you are,” another stated.“I did not want to be seen. I had to protect my identity. Why these questions though? Why would I want to spy on you?” I asked, irritated.“I should be asking you that,” the same guy responded, “You came into our territory disguised as a woman and you expect us to just let you go? That's impossible,” he said.I turned
His Second Chance Mate 79
DENVERThe evening was looked like every other one. The palace had its usual bustle that always occured before the night calm. I spent the most part of my day playing with the twins. I asked them to draw an image of me each. Since their father would be dead soon, it only made sense that I formed a bond with them.They went back to their room later in the evening. That gave me some time to prepare for the riot that was bound to happen. I had gotten words form the rogues. They said the riot would hold in the evening, when Trevor would be around. I gave them my word as well, that he would definitely be around.I had plans of twisting things in my favour. I only needed to be sure at what point exactly Trevor would step out. All I had to do was pass the information to the rogues. Once they saw him, they would take care of him.After a while, I began hearing noises at the far end of the community. There were violent shouts and war songs. I rushed out of my room and found my way to the rooft
His Second Chance Mate 80
DENVERI kept following Bella until we got to the road. The riot was in full bloom and more people had joined. I turned to Bella,“You can still change your mind,” I said.She scowled at me and proceeded across the road. Just then a truck sped towards us and stopped abruptly in front of us. I was shocked when four masked men jumped down from the back of the truck. They came straight for Bella and I. Before I could say anything, we were in the truck already, squeezed into the back seat.I knew immediately that it was the rogues. They tied our hands immediately.But why were they so foolish? Didn’t they know Trevor? In what way did Bella and I look like Trevor? Bella became restless. She was pushing and kicking, “Who are you! What do you want?” she yelled.I was torn between shouting at the rogues and pretending to be confused. I couldn't let Bella get the slightest hint that I knew who they were.I decided to act like I was confused and at at the same time communicate to them,“What do y
His Second Chance Mate 81
BELLAI didn't see why Denver would speak to me the way he did. I went out to stop a riot so what? Why was he acting like I did the wrong thing? I gave him a piece of my mind and warned him never to raise his voice at me again.After talking to Denver, I checked on the kids. I had promised to take them shopping if they remained in their room until I returned from a very important assignment. I was pleased to see them wrapped up in different activities. Craig was painting. While Cara was braiding her doll’s hair.They jumped on me the moment they saw me. At the end, we picked a date for the promised shopping.I left their room and went in search of Trevor. I found him in his study, deep in thoughts. I hesitated before walking in. From the look of things, I could tell that Denver had told him I went out to the riot. I went straight and took a seat opposite him. He didn't even bat an eyelid. He just sat staring at the wall.“Trevor…” I called.He turned to look at me. Then turned back to
His Second Chance Mate 82
DENVERI stood transfixed in my room. It had been a very terrible day for me. After everything Bella said to me, she appeared at my door. At first I wanted to bang the door in her face. She had insulted me so much, I didn't see the need to listen to her. But it was Bella.I could not find the strength to send her away. I assumed she was back to her senses.She walked into my room. As soon as I looked into her eyes, it was as though I had been hypnotized. I didn't know what Bella had over me. But it was strong. She went on to apologize. My eyes just stayed on her lips as she spoke.She didn't have to say much. I already melted. I thought everything was cool again until I tried to kiss her. What was the big deal in a kiss anyway? For someone who had hurt me so much in one day!Bella walked out on me! Trevor this, Trevor that. She even had the guts to say she was in love with Trevor. It then occurred to me that I was being too soft. If I wanted Bella, then I had to take her by force. It

DENVERI couldn't believe I just got another problem on my hands.When does it ever end?Mara’s ally was suddenly interested in her whereabouts. She should have just ignored it. Why did she ask me? A common maid bombarding me with questions!I watched the maid as she hurriedly walked away. If only she knew it was her last day in the palace, maybe she would slow her pace.I sighed. I had to pause on thoughts of Bella. My new concern was getting rid of the maid. She seemed smart. I replayed our conversation in my head. She didn't ask if I knew Mara, she was sure that I knew her.I couldn't risk having her as a witness. Nobody in the palace knew I had been in touch with Mara. The maid was a loose end I had to tighten.I got up from where I sat. I noticed Trevor playing with his kids at the far end of the palace. I tiptoed quickly to avoid being seen. I didn't have the energy for a fun time with Trevor and his kids.I was sure he would ask me to join them. From there I would probably be

TREVORThings were stable again at the palace. It gave me time to focus on other aspects of my life. I was able to focus on my family as well. As much as I knew troubles would always arise, I really hoped we would enjoy some calm…at least for a while.I had just concluded a meeting with the elders very early in the morning. I moved straight to my office for an online business meeting. That was also going very smoothly. However everything turned upside down when one of the guards barged into my office.At first I was thrown off. I wanted to lash at him for coming into my office in that manner. But the look on his face was as though he had seen a ghost. I signaled him to hold on a second while I concluded my meeting. Thankfully, we were rounding off the meeting already.I turned to him,“Whatever made you barge into my office like that had better be worth it. Or else…,” I said, looking at him.He nodded frantically, “I'm sorry, Alpha,” he said bowing.“Go on,” I said, eager to know wha
His Second Chance Mate 85
DENVERI felt like I was standing close to a furnace. I became very uncomfortable as soon as I saw the patrol guards in the palace. My heart began throbbing. Beads of sweat formed on my forehead. It felt like my legs could no longer carry me. I blew air from my mouth as I gripped the edge of my table.Things were really going in the opposite direction.I was unable to sleep the previous night. I narrowly escaped being caught. I kept thinking of the consequences for my actions. The more I analyzed it, the more I became more determined. I had to do whatever it took to avoid being caught.I watched everything from my window. I picked their words from where I stood. The patrol guards had come to alert Trevor of their findings. But I needed to be sure if they recognized me. I saw them follow Trevor to his office for more information.I made up my mind there and then. If they somehow had an inkling who I was, I would kill them. I didn't care how many lives I had to take. I definitely wasn't
