BELLAI could not describe the joy that welled up in my heart when I saw my children again. The reunion caused a pool of emotions to flow through my heart. I pulled them into my arms, inhaling their scent. They held onto me too and hugged tightly. It felt like a dream seeing Cara and Craig again, in one piece.We got back to the palace and it looked like the cloud of sorrow had been removed. We were greeted with so much jubilation. Laughter echoed through the walls of the palace and the staff gave their congratulations. Members of the pack came rushing into the palace to welcome the twins and congratulate us. I felt my energy restored. It was as if I had been given a new life.Trevor declared a feast to celebrate the return of the twins. A storm of tears formed in my eyes. I felt like crying and laughing at the same time. As soon as we could leave the crowd, I took them upstairs to clean them up. I had finished bathing Craig. While I was undressing Cara, I noticed something in her poc

TREVORI woke up to find my kids sleeping peacefully beside me. Before going to bed the previous night, Bella and I had questioned them about their experience with the kidnappers. They said they didn't hurt them in any way. In fact they bought them a lot of goodies and promised not to harm them. Although they still kept asking to see their parents, especially Cara.I got busy with my schedule for the day. Thoughts of Bella filled my head as I went about my day. The return of the twins brought me so much joy. However, I couldn't ignore the fact that Bella and I were not on good terms. The kidnap had caused a strain on our relationship and it was quite evident.We didn't spend time together anymore. Each time I tried to speak to her, she sent me away. I still felt the hurt from the bitter words she hurled at me, all of it still lingered. But we couldn't continue that way. I just couldn't ignore it or act like nothing happened. Since the kids were back, I didn't see any reason we couldn'

TREVOR.My heart lurched with worry as I watched Bella recount her experience. I couldn’t help but wonder how much fear and worry she felt through the whole process. My heart went out to her. To think she went through all of that, alone.I got up from the bed and moved towards her. I stared deep into her eyes, my head slightly tilted,“I'm sorry you had to go through all this alone, Bella. I'm really sorry,” I said, pushing some strands of hair from her face,“I just wish you had let me in on it. We could have complied with their demands to stay quiet while we figured a better way to handle it. You didn't have to shoulder it alone,” I said, touching her chin.She flung her hands helplessly, “I was worried what they'll do to my kids. Trevor, you know you would never comply with their demands. I know you would have taken it into your hands, I just couldn't risk it, she explained.“I understand, baby. At least now I know why you were so cold to me,” I said, staring at her intently,“At one

MARAI flung my phone on the bed in anger. I gritted my teeth and hit my fist against the wall. I thought my partner had everything figured out until I received a call this morning telling me Trevor had marked Bella.At first, I thought I heard wrong. I didn't want to believe Trevor actually marked Bella when my partner had promised to ensure it doesn’t happen. My brow furrowed as I asked again, “Did you say Trevor marked Bella already?”“Yes. Everyone in the palace knows about it. He claimed her already. I'm sorry,” my cousin said.“Shut the fuck up! What the hell are you sorry about?” I yelled at my cousin.She had gotten information from the new informant in the palace. When my cousin got fired, I sent someone else amongst the new staff to give information to my cousin. I didn't want a direct link with this person in case there was an error. I instructed my cousin to stay close to the palace and get back in as soon as there was an opening.It was as though everything was going in t

MARAI knocked again, wondering why I didn’t hear any voice in the background. Just then the door flung open. I stood face to face with a sturdy rogue. He had a roll of tobacco in his mouth. And the smoke coming out from his nostrils was thick as clouds. He flashed me a questioning glance.I noticed he had a patch on one eye, probably from a fight. I caught sight of a sharp blade hanging on his waist. I looked like a weapon that had been used to slit throats countless times. If only I could get that into Bella's throat. I looked up at him, “I want to see your boss,” I said with a sense of urgency. “You two have a meeting?” he asked with a raised brow.“He is expecting you?” he asked.“Oh, yeah. He knows I am coming” I said with a nod.He went in for a bit, after asking me to wait outside. I nodded impatiently. I really wasn’t in the mood for rogue hierarchical shit and unnecessary formalities. I just wanted to get this done and move on.He finally opened the door and ushered me in.

TREVORI was doing all my best to not push Mara away. I was irritated by everything she was doing. But I kept telling myself it would only be for a minute and she would be out of my face. Just then Bella walked in and met us in a compromising position. I saw the flash of pain in her eyes and my heart crashed.I wanted to run to her and explain but it didn’t look like she would have that. She had seen Mara and I in compromising positions but this one seemed different.She was probably wondering why I let Mara into the palace in the first place. I sighed and gave Bella a pleading look. Next, she rushed towards Mara with so much anger and bitterness. I rushed to stop her, pulling her to myself, “Please baby,” I whispered, trying to calm her.Her chest rose and fell as she stared at Mara. She tried to free herself from me but I didn’t let her.I turned to Mara, “Leave!” I barked.Mara glared at me and turned to Bella, “She is the reason you are this way. She took all I ever worked for. Yo

BELLAI rushed back to my room. The past few days were hell for me and I was trying to relax. Only for me to find Mara in the palace. What was she doing in the palace? Who let her in? And she was with Trevor, discussing what exactly?She had said a lot of hurtful things to me in the past and I had let it all slide. I hated the fact that she would gossip about me to Trevor, telling him that I was cheap and anyone could have had sex with me. Each time I thought of that incident and how it turned my life around, the pain came rushing again.Tears came pouring down my cheeks as I thought of everything. I felt anger and pain at the same time. My heart twisted in agony as I analysed what Mara said. I couldn't erase the scars from my past, in fact I had given up trying but I sure didn't want someone to remind me of them in such degrading manner.My body shook as I cried bitterly. Just then there was a knock on my door. I answered and the door knob turned. I thought it was Trevor but it turne

TREVORAs soon as I was sure Mara was out of the palace for good. I gave a standing order to all the guards in the palace. On no condition should Mara be allowed into the palace. I was very explicit in my instruction.Next on my mind was to find the love of my life and explain things to her as much as I could. I took the stairs two at a time and got to her room. I heard her sobs from the door and I paused. I was thrown aback. What was I supposed to do? Every time I saw Bella in pain, it just shattered my entire mood.I was about to knock when the door came open. She saw me and turned to go back inside. Her face had turned to a burning red and I could tell she had been crying profusely.I let myself in and went straight to her. Without uttering a word, I pulled her into my arms, letting her tears soak my shirt. Her body was shaking from the sobs. Whatever got her to this point must have really hurt. I ran my fingers through her hair and planted a kiss on her head.I waited until she st

BELLAI laid on my back, trying to gather my thoughts after an erotic episode with Trevor. It must have reflected on my face because Trevor flipped his fingers, cutting into my reverie, “A penny for your thoughts?” he asked.“That's too small. Add something,” I joked and he burst into laughter.He turned to his side, supporting his head with his hand as he stared at me, “I really should get a camera. I want to take pictures of you in this state,” he said, running his finger lazily on my chest.“And what would you do with those pictures?” I asked, smiling.“I'll frame and hang them in my bedroom,” he said, staring at me, “You wouldn't mind, would you?” he asked.“Of course, I would mind,” I said, turning sharply to face him, “Trevor, you are not a pervert, are you?” I asked with dilated eyes.He grimaced, “I really do not know what I am anymore,” he said, earning himself a punch.It felt good to be back with Trevor after all the stress we had been through. I liked that Mara was out of
