MARAI had never felt so much contempt like I felt for Bella. As I looked at her, rage boiled in me, causing my chest to rise and fall uncontrollably. I honestly would have shot her if I had a gun. She was keen on ruining everything I had planned.The portion had an immediate effect on Trevor. Just when I was getting worried about his repated warnings, the charm started working. Then Bella stepped in and ruined the moment, playing Messiah. She instructed his guards to take him away. Before I could get a hold on all that was happening, I heard there was an emergency meeting with the elders.I sneaked my way to the meeting, standing behind the door, so I could hear everything they were saying, and I got the shock of my life.Trevor and Bella had been working together to expose me?I heard all that Bella said, including the fact that they had uncovered my lies and I was not pregnant. I became even more furious and determined to disgrace Bella. They finally agreed to meet Trevor in the th
BELLAI heaved a sigh of relief as Trevor jolted back to sanity. I held his face in my hands as I looked into his eyes. He recognized me immediately, pulling me into his arms.As soon as Trevor was back to his senses, he revealed to everyone that Mara had been lying all along, “Mara lied about being pregnant. I found out about her deceit and I was going to expose her when she bewitched me through the food I was served,” Trevor said, angry.The elders were shocked as they heard it from Trevor himself. He looked round at all of them, “That's the person you all want as Luna, right?” he barked in anger and they all shook their heads.He turned to me, pulling me to his side, “I wonder what would have become of me, if Luna here didn't break the spell with her mate bond,” he said, squeezing my shoulder lightly,“I will ensure that Mara faces the consequences for deceiving the whole pack,” he added authoritatively.***After everyone left, Trevor and I just stared at each other and then with
MARAI paced restlessly in the hotel room. My hair was a total mess and my thoughts were even messier. My head was spinning uncontrollably. How did everything turn around so fast?Trevor and Bella had been working together to expose me? A pregnancy test and I wasn't even aware!No Mara!You are smarter than that.How did you get carried away?This is not you!And my cousin! What a dumb human she was. What was that talk about emptying the whole love portion in Trevor's food?It felt like I was hanging on a merry-go-round, with no assurance of a safe landing. I thought of the disappointed looks the elders gave me as Trevor said I was never pregnant. I had left the palace with so much speed that I didn't even pick a pin. Thankfully I had my phone with me.I couldn't imagine the shame and disgrace that would have befallen me if I had waited a second longer. Trevor could be kind but I had seen his fury a number of times and it wasn't something to look forward to. The fact that I went overb
MARAI sent the location of an uncompleted building to my cousin. I couldn't trust her with the address of the hotel I was staying for the meantime. She could be careless with the information and get me into trouble.I wore a woolen coat and a thick scarf to cover my head and face. I got to the hideout before her, just in case she was coming with someone. I told her to wait, that I would show up. I spent some time scanning the area to be sure she wasn't followed, then I showed up.I didn't bother responding to her greeting. I just wanted an update on the happenings at the palace. I wanted to know if Bella was eating deeper into Trevor's life. I wanted to know everything.She clasped her hands in front of her and went into a sorry mood, “I'm really sorry for all that happened at the palace. It wasn't my inten…”“Will you shut the fuck up!” I interrupted her sorry speech, “Listen, you have done enough damage already. The best you can do now is go straight to the point. What is going on
TREVORWith Mara out of the way, I felt a wave of relief. Bella and I were able to spend more time together which helped our bond grow stronger. There was a deeper understanding between us and less arguments. I also noticed she no longer taunted me about my absence in the twins' earlier years.I also got to spend more time with my kids. This afforded me the opportunity to get to know them better. I focused on building a stronger relationship with them whilst helping them learn the ropes of royalty. When Bella mentioned their birthday, I saw it as another opportunity to prove myself worthy to be their father.I was more than elated, “It's going to be an unforgettable event, Bella,” I said during one of our evening talks, “It’ll be the talk of town, and I mean it. This will be their first birthday celebration with me in their life! It'll definitely be better than anything they have had,” I said and Bella's mouth came open.“Wait, Trevor. Do you know how their previous birthdays have bee
TREVORI was completely destabilized. I could not stop myself from cursing and swearing. It felt like there was a deep hollow in my chest. The fact that my kids were lying sick on the bed and I could not even do anything. Anguish tore at my heart and I gritted my teeth in agony. I swore again as I recalled how specific I was with the instruction.I laid emphasis on it and the maids had promised there would be no errors. I reached out to touch their foreheads again. Worry and fear had me in choke hold. What if the situation heightens? How will I cope without my kids?Why did I feel like a part of me was in deep pain? Is this what it felt like to be a parent? A surge of emotion flooded my mind and I felt a strong need to protect my children. I felt the need to always be there for them.I had never felt this way. I wanted to just carry them in my arms and promise them I would always protect them. I wanted to apologize for trusting the maids with their well being, instead of being more ca
BELLAI could not control the tears that ran down my cheeks. My eyes were red and puffy. I could not get a hold of myself. I looked around as the nurses scrambled all over the place. The doctor was shouting at everyone. All of that didn't matter to me, I just wanted to see my children.They had searched all nooks and crannies of the hospital, nothing. My legs were shaking as I stared into space. I waited patiently for Trevor to show up. He had to do something, he had to do something really fast. I couldn't imagine the state the twins were in. The thought of it caused me to shiver.Just then, Trevor arrived, his guards followed closely behind him. There was pandemonium in the clinic as soon as Trevor walked in. Everyone was running Helter skelter. The guards turned the clinic upside down, in search of Cara and Craig. Others hung around Trevor, waiting for further instructions.I rushed to him, tears running down my face. He held me closely in his arms, “I'm sorry Bella. I'm really sorr
TREVORI found myself in a battle I couldn’t fight alone. The whole hours of searching yielded nothing. The thought of my children crying for help in the arms of strangers pushed me beyond my limit. I began making calls. I called everyone I could reach. I instructed my Beta to call all security contacts he could reach in the city. I called anyone who could possibly help.I kept hoping to hear something positive, but every time I inquired about the progress, they said “Nothing,” and it struck me like a blow. It caused a chilling emptiness in me.I thought of what my children were going through. I imagined the torture, the fear in their heart at the sight of domineering strangers. They were probably in some dirty hideout with scary men towering over them. What if they hurt my kids?Fuck!Fury rose within me, threatening to consume me. I tightly clenched my fist in agony. But I knew it was not a time to let emotions wash over me, I had to lunge into action.I decided to check the fores
