His Second Chance Mate 83
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
His Second Chance Mate 84
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
His Second Chance Mate 86
DENVERThe anger I felt towards Trevor was overwhelming. The image of him sitting on his throne, asking me questions kept popping in my mind. He thought being Alpha gave him the right to speak to me in such a degrading manner. I wonder what he would do if he actually had proof that I committed the crime.I thought of how he looked at me. The intensity in his eyes when he asked if the secret romance was all I was involved in. I knew I had to be careful. Trevor still had his eyes on me. Or I could just take him out. Maybe I could contact another rogue group to do the job this time.The truth was I could no longer stand Trevor's presence.***I woke up with a brain numbing headache. I opened one eye first, then another to allow daylight to seep in gently. I was awake most part of the night. I busied myself with thoughts on how to kidnap Bella and kill Trevor. I would be a failure if I stopped trying to take out an obstacle.I finally came up with a strategy. I decided to contact two rogu

His Second Chance Mate 88
TREVORI grabbed a bottle of wine from the freezer. Then I stepped out to sit in the garden to clear my head. Bella had gone out earlier to shop for some accessories for a collection she was making. She had promised to return early. I waited patiently as I needed to discuss some burdening thoughts with her.My thoughts drifted to the recent happenings in the palace. We seemed to move from one challenge to another. I felt a shiver run through my body as I remembered that Mara was dead. Just like that! Images of her crossed my mind. Those moments when she pulled different stunts before I sent her away from the palace.Investigations were ongoing about Mara’s murder. It hurt really bad that Mara was dead and no one knew. If the killer had not murdered the maid, it would still be unknown until now. I shook my head, trying to push off the image of her in that shallow grave. Her killer was really heartless. Of course she had been terrible to me, but she didn't deserve such shame.The though
His Second Chance Mate 89
DENVER.Trevor finally agreed to continue with the event. I sniffed as I got on my feet to see how things were going in the hall. My heart swelled with satisfaction as I saw my plan was working.I checked to see what was happening with the guards. I then realized that Trevor’s chief security officer was down too. In fact, he was nowhere to be found at that moment. The guards leaned on the wall, looking like they could faint any moment. They were extremely pale.I looked around for the remaining guards, “Where are the other guards?” I asked the one standing closest to me.“They are too weak to stand guard. Alpha asked them to rest. They are in the guards’ chamber,” he explained, keeping a straight face.I shook my head, “Too bad,” I said, “I hope you are not feeling too weak?” I asked.“No, I'm okay,” he said, with a focused look.With the look of things, the guards who were even managing to stand would most likely retire shortly. They looked exhausted. I was sure they could not fight
His Second Chance Mate 90
TREVORI laid still until I was sure it was safe to move. I opened my eyes to two guards. He stared at me in shock and beckoned to his fellow guard, “Alpha we are very sorry. We had no idea there would be a shoot out. We sent for an ambulance already. He will be here soon,” the guard said, trembling.I shut him up with the wave of a hand, “I don't care about your apology right now. Turn the ambulance back. I won't be needing that,” I said and tried to get up, “Where are those bastards!” I shouted.The guard jolted, “Some other guards went after them,” he said and ran off.I looked around the hall and realized everyone had dispersed, including those bastards! To think they ce at me, claiming they wanted to sign a stupid truce. I could have sworn that things would go wrong. I was sure of it and that was why I wore a bulletproof vest.Everything seemed unsettling from the moment I agreed to sign that truce. I hated myself for ignoring my instincts. However, I was glad I took precautions.
