Please be aware that this chapter includes intimate scenes. Viewer discretion is advised. BAS POV I can’t stop thinking about the kiss The words echoed in my mind, tormenting me relentlessly Why couldn’t I get those words off my mind? 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
Marked by the Moon Chapter 24
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. I wasn’t weak or fooli

Becca POV As Bas drove, I couldn’t resist stealing glances at him. His knuckles white from gripping the wheel, a vein pulsating on his forehead, and his breaths coming out ragged, as if he were struggling to contain his anger.Flashes of him gripping Joe against the tree flooded my mind.Why was he so mad? Did he desperately want to kill me that the thought of someone else doing it made him get so angry like this?My mind raced with many possibilities. Confused on what to do.“Stop staring,” Bas muttered, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. I jerked slightly, caught off guard. “Wh-what?” I stammered, meeting his intense gaze.He turned to face me, his expression unreadable. “Why don’t you just say what’s on your mind?” he urged, before returning his attention to the road, his grip tightening on the steering wheel.There was no way I was going to tell him what’s going on in my mind. I didn’t trust him But you’re here with him and having no idea where his taking you too. A voice in with

Becca POVOne bed!They only had one bed in the room. What on earth were they thinking? My heart pounded faster as I stood in the empty room with Bas. Why was this happening to me?“You should probably clean up,” Bas suggested, his voice calm but his expression unreadable.“What?” I asked, confused. “The makeup on your face,” he replied calmly, his expression neutral. ”Oh, right,” I responded, feeling a bit flustered as I walked into the bathroom. With a sigh, I shut the door behind me, locking it with a click. Contemplating if I should leave but that was impossible the weather had changed and right now the rain was pouring heavily.As the could water flowed through my body I couldn't help but wander what Bas was doing right now? Was he nervous by the fact that we had to share a roomNoFrom how he acted earlier like he wasn't bothered I'm sure he couldn't care less.I grabbed my towel and hurriedly changed into the nightgown the Sisters had given me. Thankfully, it wasn’t t

Becca POVIf you had told me that one day I would be locked up in a room with Bas, our hands tangled, our breaths ragged, and our tongues battling in each other’s mouths, I would have called you a liar and probably despised you for life. But here I was, lips locked with Bas. My mind screamed at me to stop, to push him away and leave, but my body refused to listen. It was as if I were under some sort of spell, unable to resist his touch. Bas continued to kiss me, his lips pressed against mine with a newfound sense of urgency. I could feel the passion radiating off of him, as if he had been holding back for so long and was finally giving in to his desires. This was not like the last time we kissed in his apartment; it was more intense, like a flood breaking through a dam that had been holding it back for too long. His lips brushed against mine, teasing and tantalizing as he slowly grazed my lower lip with his teeth. A soft moan escaped me, and I melted into the kiss, our mouths explo

Becca POVI barely got any sleep last night. All I could think about was the way his eyes locked onto mine, his lips pressing against mine, and the sensation of his hands on my body. Ughh. Get your head out of the gutter, Rebecca. I scolded myself. How could things escalate so quickly in just a span of seconds?“Thanks so much for coming to visit,” the elderly Sister said with a smile.“Thank you for having us. I’m really glad I met such lovely people like you,” I replied with a smile“You’re always welcome here,”“And you keep an eye on Bas for me. He tends to be strong-headed, but he’s a softie within,” she added, her gaze flickering to Bas briefly. I couldn’t help but notice the unreadable expression on his face, his jaw set firmly. Something was definitely off. Turning back to the Sister, I mustered a small smile, hoping to mask my unease.“We should get going,” Bas said as he walked to the car.***The car ride was very quiet. Well, I didn’t expect us to be all laughing an
Marked by the Moon Chapter 30
Bas POVI really wanted to look at her, into those beautiful hazel eyes. Even if it was just for a moment, I wanted to see her. But I couldn’t. I knew that if our eyes met, I would lose whatever little self-control I had left. Just like last night when I was I was torn between giving in to my desires and listening to the voice telling me to stop. I did the right thing by stopping but I won’t lie, part of me wished I didn’t listen to that voice telling me to stop. I wished I could’ve kept kissing her, exploring every inch of her, all night long. But that couldn’t happen. We couldn’t get attached. Our lives were fated for an unfortunate prophecy, and I couldn’t allow anything to stop that. It was crucial, and I couldn’t bear to watch my father disappointed again. But the mere thought of her lifeless body overwhelmed me, suffocating me with a pain I couldn't understand. It was as if the air had turned heavy, pressing down on my chest. Was it too late? When had I let my guards down and

Becca's POV"Careful..." Bas whispered, guiding me with gentle hands on my shoulders. 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. Despite the painful fate that awaited us, I had asked Bas for just one month—to live as if everything was perfect, to be

Becca's POV"Wh...what did you just say?" My voice trembled, shock and disbelief coursing through me as I tried to process what Naomi had just revealed."Becks, I'm so sorry. 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. His gaze darkened with desire, his lips parting slightly."I thought I..." My words trailed off, and my eyes widened in horror as I saw my mom and Lola standing there behind him. "Mom!" I yelped, scrambling to pick up my robe and cover myself, my face bright red with embarrassment.My mom's eyes were wide with surprise, her mouth slightly open as she tried to process

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

Bas POV"Tell me it's a lie," Becca said, her voice quivering as she stared into my eyes. 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. We held each other tightly, the world outside fading away for a moment. Her body shook with silent sobs, and I tried to memo

Bas POVMy hands kept trembling as I stormed out of the room. I couldn't bear to see Becca, to witness the hurt in her eyes caused by my reaction. 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. The grief and fear were overwhelming, and I couldn't contain the flood of emotions any longer."Sam," I whispered, my voice breaking as my hands touched his grave, the cold stone beneath my fingers grounding me in the moment. "I can't lose h

Becca's POVI had waited all day to finally tell Bas. I surfed the Internet, watching videos of people surprising their partners with the good news, but eventually, I decided on a simple and heartfelt approach. I wrote it on a piece of paper, tucking the note into an envelope.I dressed up prettily, and for the first time, as I stared at my reflection, there was no fear—only joy. Despite knowing my time was limited, the thought of our child washed away all my pain."I didn't know if you wanted the whole ch—" Bas's words trailed off, his eyes widening as he took in my appearance.Dropping the grocery bags, he walked towards me, his gaze filled with awe and confusion. His brows furrowed slightly, and his lips parted in surprise.

His hands found my waist, pulling
