Becca POV2 Years Later"One coffee cream coming up!" I announced cheerfully, grabbing a tray with a steaming cup of coffee adorned with cream."Here you go," I said with a wide smile, presenting the cup to the customer."Thanks, Becks," came the grateful response."Anytime, " I replied warmly before returning to the counter."Look at you all grinning," Joe, my boss, remarked, noticing my beaming expression as I walked back."Well, today I get to see a very special someone after two years. What do you expect?" I explained with excitement lacing my voice.Today marked the long-awaited reunion with Ravi and Lola after a two-year absence. I couldn't contain my anticipation, my heart racing with each passing moment. Despite my attempts to focus on work, my gaze kept drifting to the clock, eagerly awaiting the moment of their arrival."And my time's up," I said as I pulled off my apron, the fabric rustling softly. "I'll see you tomorrow."Quickly, I got into my car, my heart racing with an

Bas POV "Finally, back," I murmured as I saw the Hillsville billboard, a mix of relief and anxiety flooding through me. I thought I'd only be gone for a month, but what felt like a month turned out to be two years. Two years of longing to see her face. I missed every beat of her. Her absence felt like torture, and I longed to see her, but I couldn't. Now that I'm back, all I wanted was her. Without thinking twice, I went to see her. The moment our eyes met, it felt like nothing else existed but us. She was as beautiful as ever. I wanted to hug her, kiss her, like my life depended on it, but I froze when I saw the hurt in her eyes. I hurt her. And it broke me. Finally, she looked at me, ignoring me as she walked up to the customers, taking their orders. As she walked back, I couldn't help but step in front of her, blocking her path. I had to talk to her. "Becca," I said in a low whisper. "I... As you can see, I'm busy," she said coldly to me. "Then I'll wait," I said, determ

Becca POV The bright light filtered through my curtains as I gently turned on my bed, a smile spreading across my face as I saw a sleepy Bas beside me.He looked so peaceful when he slept.Being this close to him, I could see every detail of his face, studying him as if I were seeing him for the first time.He was extremely handsome that it made my heart skip again. With gentle fingers, I traced the contours of his face, taking in every curve and line.I couldn’t believe what had happened. It felt like a dream, one I didn’t want to wake up from. But when Bas wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me close, I knew it wasn’t a dream.“You should be sleeping,” he murmured, his breath tickling my ear. I couldn’t help but smile. “Well, you can’t blame me… it’s not my fault you’re so handsome,” I teased, earning a sleepy chuckle from him.His embrace tightened, drawing me in as he nestled his chin against the top of my head. We lay there in silence, the only sound the rhythmic beat

Becca POV"Becca? Becca? Rebecca?" I heard my name, snapping me out of my thoughts. I looked down and realized I was so engrossed with my thoughts I had completely forgotten about the coffee machine, and thanks to that, coffee spilled all over the floor."Are you okay?" Joe asked as he got some rags to clean the counter, while I scrambled to get the mop stick."You've been spacing out... Look, if you need a day off, I can...""No, Joe, I'm okay. I'm sorry, just got distracted," I said, trying to shake off the feeling of being lost in my thoughts."Okay, but please try not to get distracted again," he said as he walked out of the kitchen.With a sigh, I started cleaning the floor. The truth was, ever since the revelation from Bas, my mind had been a jungle of endless thoughts. There had to be a way, I thought, bringing out my phone. I surfed the internet, hoping for even the slightest clue, but there was none.With a heavy sigh, I retrieved the mop and began cleaning the floor. The

Becca POVI watched in complete shock as Ravi and Naomi sat down at the table, my eyes trailing on her until she was seated. Was this actually real? How did it make sense that the one person Bas had been searching for just suddenly appeared in front of me?Was she really the one? I thought, studying her face carefully. Yes, she had to be. The resemblance was too striking for it to just be some look-alike. I had to find out more.The table was filled with laughter as Ravi told some embarrassing stories. Now was my chance."So, how did you guys meet?" I asked, my curiosity piqued.Their faces both lit up as they stared at each other before looking back at me."We first met in Italy," Ravi began, his eyes twinkling with fond memories. "Mum was having a conference, and she suggested I tag along, and I'm glad I did because I may have never met someone as amazing as you," he said, his hand gently intertwining with Naomi's, their fingers fitting perfectly together."And fast forward three ye

Bas POVI heard his voice, and I knew I should have stayed indoors, but deep down, I knew he would find out about us sooner or later. It was better now than later, so I stepped out. As I walked into the room, our eyes locked, and I could see the anger burning in his gaze, filled with hate and detest. Becca, confused as to why he had stopped talking, turned her face, her expression dropping to fear. Quickly, she turned back to him, trying to explain, but he didn't listen. I watched as she ran after him."Ravi, wait, please..." Becca's voice trembled as she pleaded, but he ignored her, striding ahead."Ravi, would you just hear me out?" She raised her voice, desperation evident in her tone. Ravi stopped abruptly, turning to face her. His expression was a mix of frustration and disappointment. "What is there to hear? I pretty much know it all," Ravi said, his words cutting through the tense air. "Ravi..." Becca's voice dropped to a whisper, her heart pounding so loudly it felt like it
Marked by the Moon Chapter 44
Becca POVI lay on my back, staring up at the ceiling, the weight of Ravi's words echoing in my mind, refusing to let me find any peace or sleep. Why did we always have to fight? I wished he could just understand me. And then there was Bas, disappearing again without a word, ignoring my texts. I reached for my phone, hoping for a message from him, but there was nothing. I could lie in bed all day, but I had promised to see Lola today, so reluctantly, I dragged myself up, forcing myself to shower and get dressed. As I looked at my reflection in the mirror, I couldn't help but feel like a mess—both inside and out. My hair was a tangled mess, so I pulled it back into a messy ponytail, and I attempted to cover up the bags under my eyes with a bit of makeup. "You'll be fine," I whispered to myself, forcing a fake smile as I tried to convince myself that everything would be okay."Hey, you!" Lola's voice echoed with excitement as she waved at me from across the parking lot. I returned the g

Becca POVBy the time we woke up, Lola was gone, leaving behind an empty space that weighed heavily on my heart."This is all my fault," I murmuredRavi's hand found my shoulder, offering silent support. "Hey, you did what you thought was right. Lola just needs some time to process it all," he reassured me, his voice gentle and understanding.Despite his comforting words, I couldn't shake the feeling of guilt gnawing at me."We should get going," Ravi suggested, breaking the heavy silence that hung between us.As we arrived at my apartment, Ravi turned to look at me, his expression serious yet determined."I'll talk to Naomi about it," he declared."As much as I despise Bas, if there's a way to stop whatever prophecy, I'm willing to do it. I want nothing more than for you to be happy, Becks," he said earnestly.Moved by his sentiment, I wrapped my arms around him in a tight hug, feeling the warmth of his embrace enveloping me like a protective shield."Thank you," I whispered, my voic

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.

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
