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

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

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
