Becca's POV A few days had passed since Aria had defeated Darius. At first, I thought he was dead, but I eventually discovered that Aria had put him in a tormenting spell where he felt tremendous pain every second. I worried about Bas, living in constant fear that Aria might come for him next. But I guess I was lucky she just left him locked up; she was more concerned about dominating the werewolves who had now gone into hiding after hearing about the fall of their Alpha. I knew the answer to finding Bas was to find the woman who was at Aria's secret lair. She could tell me why those bodies were there and what Aria was actually after. "I spoke with Aria. Now that she has Darius and Bas locked up, she's working on a spell to break the curse," Noami said, breaking my thoughts. Her eyes gleamed with excitement. "Wow, that's great," I said, trying to sound as enthusiastic as I could. "But I'm worried. How is she going to break the Oak tree if she destroyed it?" "I don't know,

Becca's POV "What do you mean Aria's not a real witch?" I said, my voice shaking as I struggled to control my shock. The woman took a deep breath, her eyes filled with a mixture of fear and resolve. "Aria used to be friends with witches." "Yeah, I know that story—how the werewolves killed her coven and all she could do was watch in pain," I interrupted, my frustration growing. "Yeah, except she didn't tell you the part where she's not a witch," she said, her voice trembling with the weight of her revelation. "W...what?" My mind reeled, trying to grasp the enormity of what she was saying. "If Aria's not a witch, then...what is she?" "A human," she replied, her face etched with worry. "That doesn't make sense. Humans don't have the power to do what she does. Do you realize she defeated Darius?" I asked, my eyes wide with disbelief. "I know it's crazy, but Aria draws her powers from those witches you saw in her lair," she explained, her voice tinged with a sense of urgency. "How

Becca's POV"That bitch," Austin muttered, his face contorted with disgust as I recounted everything I had discovered about Aria. His fists clenched tightly at his sides, knuckles white with tension."So, what do you plan on doing next?" Tom asked, his eyes narrowing with concern."I need to speak with Diana and hopefully she's not in a terrible state of mind," I replied, my voice steady despite the turmoil inside me."I should come with you," Tom offered, stepping forward."No, it's too dangerous," I said, shaking my head. "If Aria finds you, you could be in far more danger, and I can't risk that. I'll be fine. Aria's preoccupied with the victory of defeating Darius. Now is the perfect time."Tom nodded reluctantly, his jaw tight. "Be safe," Aubrey said softly, her eyes filled with worry."Thanks," I replied, managing a small smile."I'll walk you out," Tom said, placing a reassuring hand on my shoulder.As we arrived at the entrance, he turned to me, his expression serious. "If ther

Becca's POV"The only way to break the bond is for Naomi to cut the threads," I said to the woman I had seen in Aria's secret lair, my voice filled with urgency and desperation.She tilted her head, a contemplative look crossing her face. "Hmmm, then we must find a way to bring Naomi to where the witches lay.""Yes, but Aria is very smart. She'll figure it out," I replied, my brows knitting together in worry.The woman fell silent, her eyes narrowing in thought. After a moment, she looked up, a determined glint in her eyes. "Then we need a distraction, one that would completely take her mind off Naomi.""What could that be?" I asked, leaning forward, my curiosity and hope intertwining."Not what, but who," she said, her gaze piercing.Realization hit me like a punch to the gut. She was referring to Darius. "But how?" I asked, my voice trembling slightly."Leave that to me and focus on how to convince Naomi," she said firmly, turning to leave."Wait," I called after her. "I didn't get y

Aria's POVI knew I should have killed him before. As I walked deeper into the woods, my senses sharpened, detecting his presence growing nearer. Once I found him, I would seize his breath, watching as he helplessly begged for air while he died.Arriving at the abandoned building where the spell I had cast directed me, I took a cautious step toward the entrance. Just as I was about to enter, Tabitha emerged from the shadows."Tabitha, oh thank God, you're..." My words trailed off as suspicion flickered in my mind. "Wait, why are you here?"Tabitha took a deep breath, her expression pained. "I wished it never came to this.""What did you do?" I demanded, my voice rising. "Don't tell me you're the one who freed him.""I had no other choice, Aria," Tabitha confessed, her voice wavering. "This is too much. We are endangering people. It doesn't have to be like this. Let's just go b—""Shut up!" I roared, my anger boiling over."How dare you? I waited years for this, and you ruined it for m

Becca's POVI watched desperately, my heart pounding so loudly I could barely hear anything else. Naomi stood before the altar, her hands trembling slightly as she picked up the rope that linked all the witches together. She began chanting, her voice steady and resolute despite the fear I could see flickering in her eyes.Please, I prayed silently, hoping we weren't too late.Suddenly, a brilliant light burst forth from the rope, filling the room with an almost blinding radiance. I shielded my eyes, squinting against the brightness. Then, as quickly as it had come, the light vanished, leaving us in the dim, eerie silence of the room.Naomi slowly stood up, her legs unsteady. I rushed to her side, my hands frantically checking her for any signs of harm. She looked exhausted but there was a spark of relief in her eyes."It worked," she said breathlessly. "The link has been broken."A wave of relief washed over me, and I pulled her into a tight hug. "You did it, Naomi. You did so well,"

Bas POVA few days passed, and each second was filled with Becca by my side. After the whole Aria situation, she felt an overwhelming guilt and never wanted to leave me. While I loved every moment of her presence, I hated that she still blamed herself."You do know I have healing powers, right?" I said, watching her as she held my hands, checking for the tenth time if the scar was still there. Her brow furrowed with worry, her lips pressed into a thin line of concentration."I know, I just..." she trailed off, her voice tinged with lingering anxiety."Becca, I'm really okay," I assured her, gently cupping her cheeks with my hands. Her eyes, filled with a mix of concern and affection, met mine. "Thanks to you, I've been in bed for the last few days, all wrapped up with the woman I love." I pulled her to the bed, snuggling closer. "This has been the best time of my life. Maybe I should get hurt more often."She chuckled softly, her shoulders finally relaxing a bit. "Don't you dare," she

Bas POV2 YearsThe room was dark and cold, the only light coming from a small, barred window high up on the wall. My hands were bound by heavy iron chains that cut into my wrists, and my body was weakened by the wolfsbane that coursed through my veins. Every movement sent waves of pain through me, and I felt an overwhelming sense of exhaustion. The only thing that kept me from slipping into despair was the thought of her.Her beautiful face, her hazel eyes staring deep into my soul—Becca. I missed her so much. How long had it been? A year? No, probably two. My father had locked me up, chained in this cell, a punishment for my defiance. The days had blurred together in this dark place, each one as torturous as the last.The sound of jingling keys broke through the silence, and the door creaked open. A shadowy figure stepped inside, their footsteps echoing off the stone walls. The man's hands moved with practiced ease as he reached for the chains, and then I heard a click. The relief w
