BELLA
His kiss was everything passionate and soulful.
His hand remained on my chin as he kissed me as if I was the most exquisite thing he had ever tasted. He was going slow, kissing me reverently as if was an angel, a thing made to be worshipped.
Even when the kiss turned outrightly hungry and feral, he still didn't stop kissing me as if he was in awe of my existence, giving me the kind of pleasure I never knew existed until now.
I had no experience and I didn't want to do anything for fear of being clumsy and putting him off but Trevor didn't seem to mind as he kissed me more and more intently, passionately stroking his tongue with mine, causing mewls of pleasure to escape from my mouth.
The next thing I knew, his hands were on my zippers and undoing them while his mouth still remained fused with mine and that was when I remembered that the lights were still on.
I hesitantly tore my mouth away from his and even though he looked like he wanted no distraction with the intense hunger I could see in his eyes, he still stopped.
"The lights..." I croaked out, "Can we put the lights off?" I was self-conscious of my body and I didn't want him to see me like that.
"Of course not Sunflower," his mouth was on my neck this time around as he kissed his way down to my collar and my cleavage, "you're so beautiful and I'd love to see your body as I worship it."
Then he cupped my right boob through the fabrics, fused his mouth around my already taut nipple and he started sucking. It was hot and dirty and sinful and it was messing with my head but I was enjoying every minute of it.
My clothes came off somewhere along the line and I instinctively tried to cover up with my hands but the way he was looking at my body as if it was a temple, a sacred and beautiful temple made me stop.
"Fuck Bella, you're really pretty, I could look at your body and worship it all day long."
And he did, all night long, kissing my body, worshipping me with his fingers, mouth, and tongue, and making me feel throes of passion that I never existed while putting my pleasure first and asking me if I was okay and enjoying it.
The way he treated me like I was fragile made my insides ache in a beautiful way and when he was done, I didn't know when I said;
"I love you."
He sort of froze against me before he flashed me that charming smile of his as he leaned down to kiss my forehead.
"I love you more, Sunflower."
Then he rolled off me, pulled me closer, and cuddled me all night long.
I knew it couldn't get any better than this.
What I did not know is that it could definitely get worse than this.
********
I wore a very happy smile on my face as I walked into the gates of school on Monday. I couldn't stop feeling excited, couldn't stop myself from smiling and grinning excitedly. I still couldn't get the memories of two nights ago from my mind, I couldn't get how he had worshipped me with his fingers, his mouth, and his eyes. How he had made me feel pleasure that I never knew was possible.
I still couldn't believe that Trevor had chosen me.
I still couldn't believe the life I was now living.
I stepped into the hallway and almost instantly, my body started prickling with a feeling I couldn't name. The students were looking at me, pointing at me, laughing at me.
It was downright horrible.
I thought I was hallucinating, that there was no way this was happening again. I had gotten an upgrade by becoming Trevor's friend, by becoming his girl. There was no way in the world they were doing this to me again when they knew what Trevor would do to them.
But they were doing it anyway, I was not hallucinating. This was real.
I was being mocked and bullied.
I wanted to shrink, wanted to melt into the floor, wanted to turn back and run away but I needed to... I had to see Trevor.
Someone bumped hard into me and the force nearly made me lose my footing.
I looked up to see a girl grinning wickedly at me, her arms crossed over her chest.
“So fat girl, is it true that you moan like an elephant when you're being fucked?”
I stopped, my palms growing clammy as they balled into a fist and the whole hallway burst into laughter.
I bet Trevor had to close his eyes when he was fucking her.
I wonder how he got past all those fats and rolls to actually sleep with her.
Bet he vomited straight afterward.
Poor guy must have been holding his gag in so bad.
I don't care what was involved but I'd rather jump off a bridge than sleep with someone like her.
More taunting laughter and my heart dropped completely.
What was going on?
What's going on?
I did not wait, I took to the direction where I knew Trevor would be. I needed to see him. He was the only person who would be able to explain what was going on to me. Surely, this was all a mistake, the students were making this up because they were jealous of me and they wanted me to feel bad.
I needed to see Trevor because he was the only one that'd make everything better.
Nothing prepared me for the sight that I saw when I entered the abandoned classroom that was Trevor’s geng.
My heart shattered completely as I took in the sight of Trevor sitting on his favorite chair and kissing another girl as his life depended on it.
Trevor’s back was to me and the girl... Her face was to me, her eyes closed in the throes of passion but I knew who she was... I'd know that face every time every day.
Her eyes snapped open, met mine and the mocking glint filled her eyes before she closed them again and she went back to kissing Trevor like her life depended on it.
My heart continued to shatter because I couldn't wrap my head around what was happening.
Mara and Trevor.
Trevor and Mara.
I've never seen them together. They don't have any business together.
A gasp must have escaped from my mouth because Trevor turned suddenly and the eyes that used to look at me like I was the whole world to him, looked at me blankly, as if I was nothing, as if he couldn't see me before he turned away to plant a chaste kiss on a gloating Mara’s lips.
I combusted.
I wanted to cower, to run away, to hide my face, hide my shame but I remained rooted to where I was, unable to move a limb.
“Why are you so shocked?” Mara’s voice jolted me out of my reverie and she was already standing in front of me, wearing a gloating smile.
“Wait, are you shocked to see me and my mate making out?”
Her mate? Her mate? I looked behind her to Trevor who wasn't even paying any attention to me as if I was that irrelevant. I expected him to debunk what Mara just said but it seemed like it was the truth.
They were mates. Weeks ago, I'd overheard Mara talking about her mate with her mom but because I wasn't interested in her, I paid no heed to their conversation.
“I just asked my mate to do a little thing for me, you help me put you in your place,” she chuckled as if amused while my whole world was fading.
“Wait, did you really think someone like Trevor would look at someone like you? Have you ever seen what you look like? Do you need a mirror, Bella? Do you really think someone like you would attract any man, not to talk of a man like Trevor?"
My insides were shaking and everything was going wrong with my body but still, I needed to hear it from Trevor's mouth, I needed to confirm if all these were true.
"Trevor," I called out shakily, "is this true? This can't be true, right? You... You said..."
He stood up, barely sparing me a glance and he started to make his way out of the room as if I didn't exist.
He was about to walk past me when I instinctively reached out to grab his shirt.
"Trevor, it's..."
My words died in my mouth when he turned to look at me now and the disgust and disdain in his eyes were obvious as day.
I did not need to be told. He was disgusted by me.
My heart shattered completely and my hands slipped away from his shirt. He didn't even look back as he walked away, leaving me alone with Mara who was grinning from ear to ear, obviously enjoying my misfortune.
The one she had orchestrated.
"You know what I told you?" Her smile widened as I heard a snapshot that jolted me out of my reverie. She was holding her phone up and she just took a picture of my face.
"I love the picture on your face when you're reminded of just how ugly you look," She flashed the picture she just took in my face, "it makes me so happy and I'm sure I'm going to have a good time looking at this picture and laughing my ass out."
I wanted to yell, I wanted to pull her hair, to beat and pummel her to the ground but I did none of that.
Instead, I turned on my heels and ran as far as I could.
BELLAI ran.I ran as fast as I could, ran as I fell as I could. My vision was so blurry from so much tears that even my wolf’s eyes couldn't save me from stumbling and falling but still, I ran. I needed to get away, from school, from Mara, from the taunts, from everything. From Trevor.Oh, Trevor.My already broken heart shattered completely at the thought of him. I couldn't believe it, couldn't believe this nightmare, couldn't believe what had happened, what was happening. It had all been a cruel joke and as usual, I was at the receiving end of it. It was an elaborate prank, one that was orchestrated by Mara and Trevor had gone right ahead to play along, to play me, to make me feel like I was loved and valued. He had treated me like I was a Queen, like I was worthy and deserving but it had all been a lie. Was he hiding his disgust when he saw my body?When he called me Sunflower? When he told me he knew even the mundane things about me? Thinking about it now, I was sure it was
BELLAThe smile froze on my face and it slowly evaporated until my face was set in a grimace. The weight was suddenly back, this time heavier and I did not know when I jolted off the bed and grabbed my phone.My period... I hadn't seen my period in over a month, that harshly dawned on me and I could feel and hear my heart beating loudly against my chest. I tried to convince myself that it was all in my head but I was sure... I was sure I missed my period last month. I usually saw my period between the 18th to 22nd of the month but today was the 12th of the next month and... And my period was still... I haven't seen my period. I didn't see my period last month. What if I was pregnant? At this point, my hands were shaking visibly. Getting pregnant at this stage of my life was an absolute nightmare. No, it had to be some health issues. Maybe stress was delaying the flow or something else.The voice in my head didn't help matters. I could swear I wasn't alone in the room…"Bella, you ha
BELLAI was undettered by the heavy downpour and even though the road was slippery, I couldn't stop running. The only rational thought in my head was getting a cab and getting to the hospital.My dad was involved in an accident?I still couldn't believe it but the voice at the other end of the phone had been crystal clear. My dad was involved in a ghastly mother accident and he was in a critical condition. Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, I was punched in the face by the most horrible news that could happen at this time and as I sat in the cab that I was only able to flag down after trying for almost 15 minutes because of the heavy rain, I couldn't stop myself from shaking. Not from the cold, but from the prospect of what this accident could mean. My dad... My dad... My poor dad. I couldn't stop myself from crying and the driver, sensing what must be going on from the address he was driving me to tried to comfort me but my pain was too loud for me to even hear a thing.
Some years later. TREVORThe burden of what I was going through held me in choke hold. Only a few months back, I was sure of my position as the Alpha of the pack. I was sure of my Luna standing by my side all through my reign. We were all waiting patiently for the Luna festival, then suddenly, Mara ditched me.I thought I had it all figured out. I went out of my way to please Mara, doing everything to keep her by my side. There were side talks about how materialistic she was. Mara was at a party almost everyday…she was either throwing one or getting an invite to one. Everytime, I had to meet outrageous demands, but all that didn't matter to me. An Alpha will do anything to keep his Luna.I thought she was happy with me. I expected a smooth sail, I mean, it was Mara. She wasn't just any stranger, she was my friend too. I made her satisfaction my priority, little did I know she would put me in such a mess. Here I was, an abandoned motherfucker in desperate need of a second chance mate.
The atmosphere was charged and I sensed a familiar presence around me. It was so strong, it sent shivers down my spine. I knew someone was behind me and it wasn't just anyone. Then there was a soft tap on my shoulder, causing my pulse to race and the hairs on my skin stood erect. I dropped the pack of chocolate I was holding as I turned around to see who it was. “Mate,” that familiar voice breathed, the same one that had dipped my world into hell many years ago.A torrent of emotions swept through my body as I stared into those deep gray eyes. Trevor! He stood there, an intense reminder of my past. His eyes, although familiar, now held a gleam of authority. He was definitely not the same Trevor from nine years ago. I couldn't name what I was feeling; bewilderment, resentment, hurt, shock _ everything came rushing like a whirlwind.And anger. God! I was so angry. The intensity of the anger I was feeling was so extreme that I could literally feel myself shaking and convulsing in ra
TREVOR.I came back to an empty space. She was nowhere to be found. I looked around, nothing. I rushed outside to see if she was there, the bottle of water still in my hand. I was consumed with tension as I caught a glimpse of her hastily driving off, at a high speed.I felt a rush of urgency in my instinct, to go after her. I finally found my second chance mate and she just disappeared! My wolf whimpered, a deep growl forming in my throat. I was devastated. I ran my fingers through my hair, circling in agitation. I had to find her!I was desperate. My wolf was agitated. I kept gasping and howling. I beckoned on my trusted pack and had them find out who the stranger was.I needed every possible detail to unravel the mystery surrounding my newly found mate.***I was not myself after the encounter at the supermarket. I growled at regular intervals. My wolf was completely on edge. The thought of her still had my pulse racing. I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that she esc
BELLA.I stormed out of the hall. Anger surged within me like a raging storm. How dare Trevor ruin such a special event for me! I was still trying to wrap my head around the "second chance mate" saga at the supermarket, now this!A public declaration of me as his mate?My wolf was wheezing as I rushed through the crowd. It felt like I could not breathe. I knew Trevor was daring, but I didn't think he could be this arrogant and narcissistic!I got out of the hall to find a crowd of reporters waiting for me, recorders in hand. They came after me like a swarm of bees."Madam…Excuse me ma'am," filled the air.I hated dealing with paparazzi, especially in a scandalous situation. Apparently they had used the main exit to block me. I quickened my steps as I rushed to the car waiting for me. I hit the driver seat with a sense of urgency and instructed him to zoom off immediately.That was not the end of it. On arriving at the hotel, there was another team of reporters. I cursed at Trevor und
TREVORThe weather was quite chill but I wasn't feeling it. My senses were heightened and I was completely on edge. My wolf kept prancing out of worry. I tried to calm myself by clenching my fist, but it helped nothing. Asking Casper to kidnap the lady didn't seem like the best decision but I knew I had to act fast or risk losing her.The thought of it made me cringe. After all that had happened, it was obvious my second chance mate would not succumb to my advances. Ralph thought I was allowing my stubborn instincts to get the best of me. But I was in a state of desperation and I would have my second chance mate, at all cost!I scanned the environment, waiting for Casper. My anticipation was palpable. I kept pacing, my wolf whimpering at regular intervals. I yearned for the sight of her. I played images in my mind, how I would explain things to her. She had to understand that she was my second chance at life and there was no way I could let her go.Casper came into my chamber, worry
