His Second Chance Mate 15: Can’t stop hating you
BELLAI was still trapped within the confines of Trevor's mansion. I felt caged. I yearned for my freedom. The luxurious furnishing of the mansion offered no solace, all I wanted was to return to my normal life, with my precious kids. The same ones Trevor was fighting to steal from me, with his dominating presence.Cara and Craig were the only reasons I was stuck here, in this prison. My love for them was stronger than my desire to escape. I longed for the comforting chaos of work. Creating designs was solace for me. From sketching to cutting to sewing, I missed everything.I was tired of being confined to this space.Trevor and the kids had gone for their planned ride. I decided to spend the time tending to myself. I needed to soak in a warm bath, something to distract me from the storm of emotions that were constantly raging in me.Since running into Trevor in that supermarket, my life had become a tumultuous mess.***The bath had the desired effect on me. I felt relaxed, my nerves
His Second Chance Mate 16:
TREVORThe weight of Bella's words pressed on me. It echoed over and over, causing me discomfort as I walked back home. I had called her to wait, but she moved on, not looking back.“Nothing can erase the hate I feel for you…”Did she really mean those words?I sighed at the thought of her words. Guilt washed over me, I had allowed pride and desperation cloud my judgment.I carried on the weight of my regret as I went into my chamber.I felt tormented.My wolf shared my torment. There was a constant whisper in mind, reminding me of the pain I had caused my mate. The truth of my actions echoed through my soul, causing my heart to thump loudly.The rest of the evening left me feeling apprehensive. My heart felt heavy, a reminder of what I had done. I couldn't get my mind off Bella. I needed to make things right.A surge of determination flushed through me, I was going to make everything right, no matter what it took.I thought of the possible ways to go about it. I considered getting de
His Second Chance Mate 17: Little Progress
BELLAI deeply inhaled the scent of the forest as I turned towards the mansion. The adrenaline rush from the run gradually subsided, replaced with a sense of calmness I had not felt in a long time.I fell into a deep sleep on arriving at the mansion.I woke up feeling refreshed after a few hours of sleep. The temporary escape from my human form and its overwhelming emotions was worth it.I thought of Bella, as I stretched on my bed. I wanted to do right by her but her stubbornness was quite scary. I was worried about how she would act if I didn't apply force. The thought of losing my second chance mate was fucking scary.I thought of recent happenings and I realized her anger was growing into resentment. If things continued that way, I'll never be able to gain her trust.I made up my mind to be of better behavior.With the Luna festival just around the corner, I wanted to proceed with an official announcement that I had found my mate and we would be getting married soon.I trailed int
His Second Chance Mate 18: More Progress?

My heart pulsed, and a sweet sensation flushed over me.A spark had ignited between us and I wanted to build on it. I wanted to nurture it patiently until it grew into a flame of love. I didn't know if I was being selfish but I wanted more.I had work lined up for me that morning. My Beta had reached out to me, saying there were some paper works to sign. He also had some reports for me, regarding plans for the official announcement of Bella as my second chance mate.After all the work I had to do, I had a meeting with Ralph and my board of trustees. When I was done with everything, he reminded me of a function I had to attend later in the evening.I was going to turn it down, but then it occured to me that I could go with Bella.Getting home, I realized I hadn't set eyes on Bella the whole day, nor my kids. My heart swelled
His Second Chance Mate 19: Without the kids
TREVORA wave of excitement washed over me as Bella agreed to do dinner with me. I felt a sense of accomplishment, it was safe to say I was making progress on winning her over. The anger in her eyes had dissipated gradually and there were more smiles. Hopefully, it gets better hereon.I was determined to make the dinner exceptional, so I went straight to the chief house assistant, Gina. An old lady in her late forties. I preferred giving direct orders to Gina since she knew just how to carry them out to the latter.“Tonight’s dinner is of utmost importance to me. There should be no mistakes” I said and they nodded in understanding, “Ensure you transform the dining room completely, I'll prefer a romantic and intimate setting,” I added.I gave clear instructions about the meal, the light, the music, the entire ambience of the place. I wanted it to be an enchanting experience for Bella. I wanted an alone time with my mate.***I met Bella halfway down the stairs, with a bouquet of roses.
His Second Chance Mate 20: Without the Kids
BELLAI had thought the evening couldn't get any better.Trevor seemed quite reasonable, lately. The whole interest he showed in my work, asking me questions, watching my interviews, checking my blogs, and my social media pages…all of that caused emotions to well up in me.I knew I couldn’t just fall for that. Trevor was still the same arrogant Alpha but at least he was no longer using my children as threats to do his bidding. He asked politely and allowed me to decide if I was interested or not. Hence, when he asked me to dinner, with such calmness and respect, I decided to give him a chance.I took in the setting, the soft glow of lights, the orchestra playing in the background, the food, the decorations, everything. I could tell Trevor had put in effort to make the dinner special.The whole ambience was really relaxing for my tired bones and drained mind.We talked about work, then we began talking about the grand ball. I listened intently as Trevor shared the plans. Everything see
His Second Chance Mate 21: Chemistry
TREVORI stood motionless, watching Bella as she fumed with rage. I felt confused and frustrated at the same time. The heat of her anger was palpable. Everything I said fell to the ground, it was evident she was blinded by her emotions.I thought I was already making progress with her and I was already counting my wins. Bella was becoming relaxed around me. It felt like everything was falling in place and then I carelessly told her the twins will not be at the party. I blamed myself for blurting out such information to her. I should have considered how it would make her feel.Now I was back to square one.Bella's beautiful brown eyes had changed to a blazing amber due to her anger. She was looking at me with so much hate again. I thought we had gone past this phase.I was shocked by her interpretation of my words. How did she conclude that I was ashamed of my kids? I knew my decision to keep the kids away would come off as unfair but I had my reasons and she wasn't even giving me a ch
His Second Chance Mate 22: With The Kids
BELLATrevor pulled me into his arms, in a bid to stop me from leaving the room. I stood there in shock as I landed in front of him. I had unconsciously placed my hands on his chest for balance. I didn't expect that being so close to him would have any effect on me.I quickly pulled away, snatching my hand from his grip.His explanations just didn't make sense to me. I couldn't understand how keeping the twins from the ball would protect them. I questioned his judgment, wondering if his decision was truly out of protection for the kids“There is no justification for turning your kids away, Trevor. Elders would ask questions, so what? How bad can it be?” I asked, holding his gaze.“I know what I am talking about, Bella. You just don't see it. It's more than just a question and answer session,” he said, staring intently at me.“I'm done with this talk,” I said and walked out on him.***I woke up to a call from my assistant. One of our newest suit designs just made it to top five on the
