George POV

The training room buzzed with energy as Becca and I circled each other, our movements fluid and instinctive. Her eyes sparkled with determination, a playful challenge dancing in her gaze.

"Alright Old man, lest see what you've got!" she taunted, her voice filled with playful banter as she feigned a jab towards me.

I grinned, pride swelling in my chest as I blocked her attack with ease. "You're getting faster, kiddo, but you still have a long way to go," I teased, launching into a series of quick jabs and feints to keep her on her toes.

Her laughter filled the air as we danced around each other, exchanging playful blows. She was growing stronger with each passing day, her reflexes sharp and her movements graceful.

But I wasn't about to let her win without a fight.

With a burst of speed, I lunged forward, aiming to catch her off guard. But she was ready, sidestepping my attack with ease and seizing my outstretched arm. Before I knew it, she had flipped me onto my back,

Maybe I was too harsh on her “So,” Maddy’s voice broke through my internal turmoil, pulling me back to reality. Her eyes held a mixture of uncertainty and longing as she tentatively reached out to touch my chest. “Since we’re done for the day, I was thinking I could come over to your place,” she suggested, her voice soft yet filled with anticipation. Normally, I would have declined, but right now, I needed a distraction, something to pull me away from thoughts of Rebecca. “Sure,” I replied with a smirk, the corners of my lips curling up in a feigned nonchalance as I took her hands in mine, leading her towards my car. The evening breeze felt cool against my skin but yet every part of me burned. Gripping the wheel tightly, I drove towards my a

    Bas POVThe cool water trickled down my body, its touch a feeble attempt to soothe the storm raging within me. How could I have been so careless? Why did I allow my mind to wander back to her? Controlling myself had never been a challenge, but with her, it felt like impossible. Just the thought of her made it feel like my body was burning. This feeling of longing, of having her so badly was it as a result of the mark, did my wolf crave for her so badly? It had to be.. right? Shaking my head in frustration, I grabbed my towel and stepped out of the shower. As I scanned the room, the lingering scent of Maddy hung in the air with the overwhelming sense of guilt that gnawed at my insides. I knew I had hurt her deeply.Dressing quickly, I made the decision to leave, the thought of being alone with my thoughts too unbearable to bear. As I slid into my car, I reached for my phone, intending to call Tom for some much-needed company. But he didn’t pick up. Where was he? And why wasn’t he ans

    Bas POV As I stepped out of the barn, I continued walking not daring to look back until I was far gone from her sight. When I could no longer feel her gaze behind my back I stop trying to process what just happened.Stupid, how could you let your guard down I tried to calm my racing heart, but thoughts of her widened eyes and hitched breath when I drew her close flooded my mind. Did she want me to kiss her? No, that couldn’t be right. The Rebecca I knew wouldn’t hesitate to pull a bullet through my heart. But then she confessed she couldn’t stop thinking about our kiss. Was she just trying to deceive me? I paced back and forth in the empty field, grappling with my conflicted thoughts. Why did she have this effect on me? Why couldn’t I control my feelings around her? Dammit!!!I shook my head, trying to dispel the unwelcome thoughts that refused to be silenced. This couldn’t be happening. There was no way I was going to make the same foolish mistake like Sam.

He had insisted on blindfolding me for a surprise, and the anticipation was driving me wild."Are we not there yet?" I asked, a hint of impatience in my voice."Patience, love."Finally, we stopped. Bas slowly untied the blindfold. I blinked as my eyes adjusted to the light, and then widened in astonishment as I took in the scene before me. We were standing in front of a beautiful house, nestled beside a picturesque farm. The lush countryside stretched out in every direction, vibrant and serene."Bas..." I breathed, unable to find the words.He wrapped his arms around me from behind, his breath warm against my ear. "You always wanted to have a family in the countryside, so let's start our family together here."My eyes filled with tears, and I tried hard to keep them from falling.

I thought he told you," she said, her voice filled with regret and concern. Her eyes searched mine, desperately hoping for some sign of understanding.When I decided to come over and share the good news with Naomi, I never imagined it would end in such a heartbreaking revelation. Bas had the oak tree, and he didn’t tell me."Becca," Naomi called softly, her hands gently placed over mine. Her touch was warm, but her eyes were clouded with worry.I forced a smile, trying to suppress the pain that threatened to overwhelm me. "It's fine. I'm sure he was going to tell me... eventually."Naomi still looked at me, her eyes brimming with concern. "He just needed it to stop Darius. He... never said anything about using it on... himself."My heart skipped a beat at the thought. No, I would never let him do that.I smiled a

    Becca's POVI stared at the lingerie on my body. I had just bought, a smile spreading across my face as I imagined Bas’s reaction when he saw me in it. He's going to be so shocked, I thought, a giggle escaping my lips at the idea of his expression.Just then, the doorbell rang, and I rushed downstairs, butterflies fluttering in my stomach as I struck a sexy pose. "Come in," I called, my voice filled with anticipation.The door opened, and as soon as Bas walked in, I let my robe fall, revealing the black lace lingerie I had picked out just for him."Be... wow," he stammered, his eyes widening as he took in the sight of me.

    Bas POVDarius glared at me, his eyes filled with rage as he struggled to get up. The poison had spread, rendering him completely weak, almost human. "The poison won't kill you," I said, my voice steady. "It's just going to make you forever weak. This is your punishment for all the sins you've committed."I turned to leave but stopped in my tracks. No matter how monstrous he was, he was still my father, and I couldn't bring myself to kill him. "Get out of here and never come back. I'll tell the pack I flung your body deep in the sea."This was my last act of kindness, not for the defeated Alpha, but for my father.Suddenly, Darius burst into laughter, the sound echoing through the forest. I turned to look at him. "Oh, as always, you're so weak, boy," he said, managing to get up and resting against a tree. "Do you really think I'll just remain quiet and watch as you jeopardize everything I've worked for? I'll come for you."I turned away, not wanting to see him in this state. He was al

Her face was pale, her eyes wide with fear and disbelief."Please tell me that you didn't just accept a death duel with Darius.""Becca, I—""Bas, how could you? I just told you I was pregnant, and now you want to risk your life in this godforsaken fight?""Becca, look at me," I said, taking her hands in mine. Her fingers were cold and trembling. "I need you to trust me... I'm not going to die. Everything I'm doing is to protect you, to protect us."I rested my forehead against hers, feeling the warmth of her skin and the weight of her worry. "I love you.""I love you too," she whispered, tears spilling down her face. Each tear felt like a dagger to my heart."Promise me... you'll come back," she pleaded, her voice breaking."I promise," I said, wrapping my arms around her.

Shame and self-loathing surged within me; I had acted so poorly, so recklessly. I knew this moment would come, and I hated myself more for allowing it to happen.I needed to escape, to release the turmoil inside me. Walking into the woods, I shifted to my wolf form. With a loud howl that echoed through the trees, I ran deeper into the forest, Becca's words haunting my mind."We're going to be parents."No. I can't lose her. I just can't.I came to a stop in a small clearing and shifted back to my human form. My breaths were ragged, my body trembling as I fell to the ground, tears streaming down my face.
