Marked by the Moon Chapter 58
Bas POVThe loud sound of the gunshot echoed through the room. I gently placed my hand on my shoulder, feeling the warm, sticky blood seep through my fingers. The pain from the wound was nothing compared to the agony of seeing the look in Becca's eyes. Fear, regret, and sorrow all mixed together. She knew the bullets couldn’t really hurt me, but the desperation in her eyes cut deeper than any wound."Becca..." I said softly, taking a cautious step closer. Her eyes widened, and she pulled the trigger again, her hands trembling as tears streamed down her face."I'll do it again if you come any closer!" she cried, her voice quivering with fear and resolve.Ignoring the searing pain, I took another step toward her. Her hands shook as she pulled the trigger, but I was faster. I lunged forward, gripping her hands firmly but gently. "That's enough," I said, my gaze locked onto hers.She stared back at me, her eyes wide with a mixture of shock and despair. Slowly, she let go of the gun. Her h

Bas POV I told myself to give her time. She was still grieving, but it only seemed to be getting worse. Rebecca stayed indoors, not stepping a foot out of her room. Days turned into weeks, and the distance between us grew more profound. I walked into her room and found her exactly as she had been the previous day, and the day before that. She was curled up under a blanket, lying on her bed with her back turned towards me. The room was dim, the curtains drawn tight against the sunlight. The air felt heavy, filled with the quiet sorrow that seemed to engulf her. "Rebecca," I said softly, but she didn't respond. She didn't even glance at me. I looked around the room, my heart aching at the sight. Her food, which I had brought in earlier, remained untouched on the nightstand. The once vibrant and lively Rebecca was now a shadow of herself, lost in her grief and pain. "You can't keep doing this," I pleaded, stepping closer to her. "You need to eat something. You need to take care of yo

Bas POV I clutched my chest, sinking to the ground as the tears I had held back came rushing out. "If you were here, I wonder what you'd think of me... a weakling, perhaps," I chuckled bitterly, wiping the tears from my eyes. "But I... I had nowhere else to go." I always had to pretend to be strong, to be the perfect son, the perfect lover, the perfect Alpha. But with Sam, he saw the broken part of me and he never judged me for it. I rested my back against his grave, feeling the coolness of the stone seep through my shirt. I picked up a blade of grass, twirling it between my fingers as memories flooded my mind. "Remember when I called you weak for falling in love?" I said softly, my voice barely above a whisper. "Well, I met this girl, and she's just perfect. With her, I wish time could stop forever. Now I sound like you," I chuckled, the sound hollow in the stillness of the graveyard. I could almost hear Sam's laughter, his teasing remarks about how I'd finally understand him on

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

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 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'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'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"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
