TREVOR

The weight of all that was happening really pressed on me. There was so much bitterness in the air and Bella had become really touchy. I was however grateful for Denver's unwavering support. After a brief meeting with the elders, we proceeded to search for the twins. Denver kept reassuring us that we would find them and that was all the push I needed.

Regardless of the negative opinions some elders had, we embarked on the search…Denver, Bella, my guards, a few elders and myself. Bella had insisted on coming with us. She accused me of doing nothing during the meeting. That I could not stand up for the safety of my kids. I just swallowed all her accusations. I knew how much grief had consumed me even though I just got familiar with my kids. I couldn't imagine how much pain she was suffering.

I excused her mean words as effects of grief. Denver was doing his best to make Bella relax. Even when I tried to speak to her, she ignored me and moved away. I didn't bother pushing further,
