My entire existence has led to this moment, the day I finally put an end to this misery, the day I pay tribute to the sacrifices of my loved ones, the day I grant freedom to the human race. All it requires is a simple pull of the trigger. I desired this, worked tirelessly for it, but inexplicably, I find myself unable to complete the task. "Do it," Bas urged in a soft whisper, a gentle smile playing on his lips. How could he find solace in a moment fraught with tension? His eyes locked onto mine, a silent challenge. Unable to contain the tears streaming down my face, I felt a flood of emotions. Sensing my hesitation, Bas delicately laid his hand on mine, guiding the gun closer to his chest. "I love you," he uttered to me. No, I couldn't endure this any longer. I shook my head, the pain becoming unbearable. "We do this in 1...2...3..." **** In a world where werewolves coexist with humans, Rebecca faces a daunting prophecy: she must become the mate of the infamous Alpha's son, Bas. Every century, the moon selects a human girl to fulfill this prophecy, destined to bear a child for her mate and then be sacrificed. But Rebecca refuses to accept her fate. Can she defy the prophecy and protect her loved ones, or will her rebellion lead to tragedy? And when she starts developing feelings for someone forbidden, what will the consequences be?

I moved closer to her, my arms wrapping around her as I pulled her tightly against me. Her breath hitched when she felt my desire pressing against her. "Yeah, I... I'm fine," she stammered, fighting to keep her voice steady.I could hear Lola's muffled voice on the other end of the line, but I didn't care. All that mattered was the woman I loved in my arms. Slowly, I raised my hand, cupping her breast and gently fondling it. Her eyes fluttered closed, and I watched as she bit her lip, trying desperately not to cry out.Becca's body tensed and relaxed in turns, her chest rising and falling rapidly. The corners of her mouth twitched, fighting a smile as her breath came in short, sharp gas
Bas POVThe next morning, I woke up to the soft light of the sun filtering through my curtains. I turned and saw her there, sleeping so peacefully. There was something marvelous about her face, something that drew me in every time. Watching her was a pleasure I could indulge in over and over again.Her eyes fluttered open, and a smile spread across her face. "You should be sleeping, not staring," she said in a low whisper."You really can't blame me," I replied, my voice just as soft. "When you look like this, it's impossible to stop staring." I watched as a blush spread across her cheeks, making her even more beautiful."I should get up," she began, starting to rise from the bed. But I pulled her closer, wrapping my arms around her and burying my face in her chest. Her warmth and the soft rhythm of her heartbeat were too comforting to let go.She chuckled, her laugh light and musical. "Bas, we've been in bed for quite some time.""Stay with me a little longer," I murmured. I could ne
Bas POVThump thump thump.The only sound I could hear was the loud beating of my heart. I feared she might hear it too. Ugh, I sighed inwardly, if only I could calm myself. I still couldn't believe she had asked to spend the night together. I remember being too stunned to speak at first. All I could manage to say was, "Of course."I thought if she was here, I would be able to sleep, but I was wrong. Having her beside me only intensified my feelings. My heart wouldn't stop pounding. What the hell was wrong with me? It's not like this was the first time being in bed with her, but why? Why did I feel so nervous?I stared at her back, wondering if she had fallen asleep. The soft rise and fall of her breathing filled the silence, but it did nothing to calm my racing thoughts. My heart nearly leaped out of my chest when she suddenly turned to face me, her eyes staring deeply into mine. In that moment, everything else seemed to disappear, leaving just the two of us in the quiet room. "Still
Bas POVThe car ride back home was silent as I drove, the hum of the engine the only sound accompanying my racing thoughts. My mind kept wandering back to the fire. It couldn't have been a coincidence that on the very day we decided to retrieve the belladonna, the forest was ablaze. Someone did it, but who? My thoughts raced with possibilities. Could it have been my father? Did he want to toy with us, waiting for the perfect moment to strike?My grip tightened on the steering wheel, knuckles turning white. No, it couldn't be my father. He wasn't one to delay punishment. If he knew about the belladonna, he would have struck immediately. Then who? Who could possibly be behind this?As my mind churned, I felt Becca's gentle hand fall on mine, giving a small squeeze. I turned to look at her, a forced smile on my face. She was my anchor, my everything, and her touch was a reminder of what I was fighting for.We arrived home, the familiar sight bringing a sense of fleeting comfort. As we en
Becca's POV "You...were poisoned," I said in a shaky breath, my throat going dry. The revelation of his words hit me so hard. All this while, I thought Bas chose to ignore my cries and let Ravi die, but all along, he was trapped and couldn't save me. My heart broke at the thought of the pain he was going through, how much he must have fought, how much he blamed himself for not being able to help me. I couldn't stop the tears that rolled down my eyes. "I'm sorry," I said as I wrapped him in a hug, feeling the strong, steady beat of his heart against my own. He leaned into my touch, his body trembling slightly. "I'm so sorry, Bas, that you had to experience all this pain alone," I whispered, my voice catching in my throat. "I should have been there for you," he muttered against my hair, his breath warm and shaky. I pulled away gently but not too far, my hands resting on his shoulders. "You did your best," I said, looking into his eyes. He opened his mouth to say something, but I cap
Becca's POV"Hey," I said as I walked into our new home"Hey," he replied, looking up from where he was sitting."I just spoke with Naomi," I said, feeling a weight lift off my shoulders now that the conversation was over."How did it go?" he asked, concern etched in his features."Well, she's still very angry, and I can understand that. But the good news is she's still going to help us with the map," I explained, feeling a sense of relief wash over me."That's great," Bas said, a small smile playing at the corners of his lips."Yeah, we just need to get the belladonna," I replied, feeling a surge of determination."Why don't I get it," Bas suggested, concern evident in his eyes."No, I'm coming with you," I insisted, not wanting to be left behind."Becca, are you sure you're ready? Because I can..." Bas started, his voice filled with worry."I'm certain, Bas," I interrupted, wanting to prove that I could handle it.With a sigh, he nodded and walked out to grab his jacket. We headed t
Becca POV"Bas," I started, my voice trembling. "I...""It's okay, Becca," he interrupted, his voice gentle but pained. "I understand," he said as he turned to leave.I watched him walk away, my heart aching with every step he took. A part of me wanted to call out to him, to wrap my arms around him and tell him how much I love him. But I couldn't move. It felt like my legs were stuck, rooted to the ground.My mom's words lingered in my thoughts. And the truth was, I was still hurt by the thought of him not coming to save me. I had hoped he would say something about it, at least an excuse, but he didn't. And that hurt. I was confused, torn between my feelings for Bas and the lingering pain from the past.But right now, there was another person I had to check on.My heart pounded loudly, my hands trembling as I knocked on Lola's door. My throat went dry when she opened it. Her eyes widened with shock."Lo..." I started, but my words trailed off when she enveloped me in a big hug."Thank
Becca POVWaking up today felt like emerging from a long, dark tunnel into a faint glimmer of light. The heaviness that had settled in my chest since Ravi's passing seemed to ease just a bit. With Mom spending the night, her presence brought a sense of comfort and warmth. Careful not to disturb her peaceful slumber, I quietly slipped out of bed, tiptoeing out of the room.As I roamed the corridors, I realized I hadn't really explored the house since the wedding. It felt bigger than I remembered, with plenty of rooms I hadn't seen before. I wondered which was Bas's room. The thought of Bas made my heart ache. I had been so mean to him even though I was hurt there were some hurtful things I said that I didn't mean and I knew I owed him an apology.A certain room caught my attention, the door was a bit open, and inside, I saw beautiful paintings and art. The room felt special, like it was made for creativity. Each painting told a different story, and the colors were so bright and pretty.
Becca's POVI told myself that with time, I would heal, but every day felt like I was sinking deeper with nowhere to go. I felt completely alone. I still saw him in my dreams. Every night, it was like he was asking me, "Why did you kill me?" If only I had never involved him in my drama, maybe he would still be alive.I heard the door creak open. It was Bas. He sighed when he saw me still wrapped up in my blanket, the food he had dropped off earlier untouched. I felt a pang of guilt because I blamed him for everything, but a part of me knew it wasn't his fault. I just wanted the pain to be less."And what good is that? What good are you if you can't save the people I care about?"His eyes widened with hurt, and I regretted the moment I said that. He took a step back, his face a mixture of pain and resignation, and slowly walked away.The room felt colder and emptier after he left. The silence was deafening, punctuated only by the distant sounds of the outside world, which felt so far r
