Bas POVI shouldn’t be here, not now. I couldn’t afford to see her. After many years apart, I still longed for her, and that’s why I found myself in the bar. If I could only get a glimpse of her then, I’ll leave.I walked into the bar, the loud music filling the room with a throbbing beat. People were chattering, dancing, and drinking, creating a clamor of sound that seemed to fade into the background as I scanned the room. My eyes searched for her and only her.As always, she looked breath taking. I clenched my hands, trying my best not to walk over to where she sat and embrace her.And there she was, sitting alone at the bar.As always, she looked breathtaking. Her brown hair was pulled back into a ponytail with two strands that fell to her face, framing it perfectly. Her eyes were focused on the drink she held, lost in thought. I wanted to walk over to where she was, pull her into a hug, and tell her how much I missed her, but I knew I couldn’t. I clenched my hands tightly, feeling

Becca POV“Earth to Becca,” Lola said, snapping her fingers in front of my face.“Sorry,” I said, jolting back to reality.“Becks, please don’t tell me you're still worked up about what happened in that house,” Lola said, her eyes filled with worry.I looked away, unable to meet her gaze. After what happened at the house, I was certainso certainthat it was Bas. I went back the next day and the day after, but he never showed up. Could he be avoiding me? With a frustrated sigh, I ran my hands through my hair. “Lola, I’m certain it was Bas,” I said.Lola looked at me, her hands gently placed on my shoulders. “Becks, you barely saw anyone there. Are you sure it’s not a fragment of your imagination?”Imagination?I was certain it was Bas. How could she say that? Like I was some crazy person making things up.“I know what I’m saying. I... I may not have seen him, but I felt him,” I said, my voice cracking with emotion. “I know it’s Bas,” I repeated, more determined.“Okay,” Lola said, sha

Becca POV"Bas," I whispered, my eyes widening with shock as I took him in. Although I knew deep down he was around, seeing him here still felt surreal."What the hell do you think you're doing?" Bas growled, glaring at Joe, his voice dripping with fury."I'm sorry," Joe stammered, his Confident melting away.Bas's grip on Joe tightened for a moment before he released him. "Get out," he commanded, his voice icy and firm.Joe didn't need to be told twice. He scrambled away, leaving just me and Bas standing amidst the silent graves.With a sigh, Bas turned to look at me. "You should leave," he said, his tone softer but still distant.I stood there in silence, staring at him. After four years apart, he looked as handsome as ever. His hair had grown a little longer, and he now sported a subtle stubble. He appeared more buff, his physique more defined than before. My eyes traced the lines of his body before returning to his face, meeting his gaze."That's all?" I asked, my voice trembling

Bas POVDays had passed since my last conversation with Becca, but all I could think about was the hurt in her eyes. I had wanted to stay away, but the moment I sensed she was in danger, I had to step in. I had been gone for four years, and those years felt like torture without her. Some days were bearable, while others were so difficult that I had to find her, even if only to see her from afar.I missed her so badly that it took everything in me not to hug her. What held me back were her mother's words.With a sigh, I looked away and saw Aubrey approaching. Her eyes were filled with worry as she took a step closer."Are you okay?" she asked gently. "You've been like this ever since the graveyard.""I'm fine," I said, though my voice lacked conviction.She stepped closer until she was just inches from me, her hands slowly running down my bicep as she gazed into my eyes. "Bas, do you remember what I told you the day you saved my life?" she asked softly.The memories of our first encoun

Becca POVAt first, I moped in my bedroom, heartbroken by Bas's words. But as days passed, I realized that moping wasn't going to solve anything. I refused to believe Bas's cold words because his eyes told a different story. He loved me; something was just holding him back, and I was determined to figure out what it was."Great, you're here," Darius said as I walked into the pack house.Immediately, I felt Bas's gaze on me. I glanced at him, and our eyes met for a brief moment, revealing a sadness within him. Finally, we looked away from each other.I turned my attention to Darius, giving him a warm smile."She's been amazing," Darius said to Bas. "While you were away, Becca has been here, helping the pack."Bas's expression softened slightly, though he remained silent. I could see the conflict in his eyes. It was clear he was struggling with something. How long do you plan on hiding it."Thank you," I said, my eyes lingering on Bas, searching for any hint of warmth. He looked away, s

BAS POVI had intended to talk to her, to have a conversation about her growing closeness with my father and her reasons for the spy mission. But now, as she moved closer, I found myself unable to think clearly.I thought I was strong enough to finally be in a room alone with her, but here I was, fighting every urge not to pull her into my arms. The plan was to keep my distance because being close to her made me crazy. But when she accused me of making her feel like a disease, my walls crumbled. I had never intended to make her feel that way. If only she knew how desperately I fought with myself not to pull her close and take her right here and now."I can see it, Bas...the eyes never lie," she whispered, her hands slowly running down my bicep. My body shivered at her touch, and I couldn't help but stifle a groan. She was driving me crazy, and I was about to lose control.Her gaze locked onto mine, and I couldn't look away. Her eyes were full of longing and determination. I watched as

Bas POV"Bas?" Aubery's voice called out again, her tone insistent."Just a minute," I replied, my heart racing as I tried to collect myself. Becca scrambled off me and quickly began to redress. I took a moment to steady my breathing before approaching the door."Sorry," I said as I opened it, meeting Aubery's gaze."I was wondering where you we—" Her words trailed off as she looked past me, her gaze falling on Becca. There was a flicker of surprise in her eyes, quickly masked by neutrality."Oh," she said, her voice carefully composed. "I didn't know you had company."I shifted uncomfortably, feeling the weight of her scrutiny. "Uh, yeah," I mumbled, struggling to find the right words. "Becca was just... leaving."Becca shot me a quick glance, her expression unreadable. "Yeah, I should get going," she said, her voice strained.Iris nodded, her eyes lingering on Becca for a moment longer before she turned back to me.I watched as Becca walked away, feeling a mix of regret and frustrati

Bas POVI stepped out of the room and headed to the kitchen, my mind still a whirlwind of thoughts about Becca. The moment I entered, Aubery greeted me with a warm smile."Great, you're here," she said, her tone light.I nodded, walking to the counter and taking a seat on one of the stools. "Where's Tom?" I asked, looking around the empty kitchen."He stepped out," Aubery replied as she busied herself at the stove, fixing something for me to eat. After a few minutes, she placed a plate of food in front of me, the aroma wafting up and making my stomach growl."Thanks," I said, offering a small smile, appreciating her effort despite the heavy tension in the air.She nodded and took a seat across from me, sipping her water quietly. The room fell into a comfortable silence as I ate, the clinking of cutlery against the plate the only sound. I focused on the food, trying to ground myself and push away the chaos in my head.When I finished, I pushed the plate away and looked up at Aubery. "Th

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. "You look... stunning," he said softly, his voice tinged with amazement."Thank you," I replied, a smile spreading across my face as I gently touched my short, flowery gown.Bas's eyes roamed over me, lingering on every detail. His hands found my waist, pulling
