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

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

I blinked my eyes open slowly, feeling Bas’s hands wrapped around my waist and the comforting rhythm of his breathing.Carefully, I slipped out of bed, trying not to disturb him as I made my way out of his room.

Becca POVENOUGH!!!Naomi’s scream pierced the tense atmosphere, reverberating off the walls of the room. I spun around to see her standing with her arm outstretched towards Bas, her eyes now completely white as she chanted a certain word with intensity.“Aethralis,” she uttered firmly, her voice echoing with power.Suddenly, Bas released his grip on Ravi, dropping to one knee. His hands flew to his temples, his face contorted in agony as if experiencing an unbearable pain. I could see the strain etched on his features, his muscles tensed as he winced and groaned.“I told you,” he managed to say through gritted teeth, his voice strained with pain.Naomi took a determined step forward, her jaw set as she began chanting the ancient words “Aethralis, Aethralis,” her voice filled with power.My heart raced as I watched Bas fall to his knees, his face contorted in agony, blood streaming from his nose.“No… please stop,” I pleaded, my voice shaking with fear and desperation, but Naomi see

Becca's POV Naomi gently tossed on the bed, her eyelids fluttering as she slowly regained consciousness. I watched as Ravi moved to her side, his expression filled with concern. “Hey, love,” he said softly, his eyes locking with hers. Naomi managed a small smile, but her body tensed when she noticed Bas in the room. “What… what is he doing here?” Naomi’s voice trembled with alarm as she struggled to sit up. “Naomi, please calm down. He isn’t going to hurt you,” I reassured her, stepping closer to her and positioning myself between her and Bas. “He’s a monster, that’s what they do…hurt innocent people,” she replied, her voice quivering with fear as she glanced nervously at Bas. “No, he’s not. He wants to help us find a way to put an end to the prophecy so humans can finally be free from werewolves. And the only way that can happen is if you help us,” I explained, trying to reassure her. “This wasn’t supposed to happen. My father sacrificed his life for me so I could fina

Bas POV“Look who decided to grace their old man with his presence,” my father greeted, his voice echoing through the halls of the pack house.I approached him, feeling a mix of nerves and apprehension. “Father,” I replied, trying to sound calm.“I almost thought you were angry with me,” he said, his expression softening as he looked at me.I forced a smile. “Never. I had to deal with some stuffs.”He nodded, his eyes searching mine. “I hope there’s nothing to worry about.”I shook my head, trying to appear confident. “Nothing that I can’t take care of.”He studied me carefully like he was hoping to see me crack , then finally he said. “Great, come walk with me, son.”We began to stroll down the pathway, the silence between us thick and heavy. Only the sound of our footsteps broke the quiet, each step echoing in the empty halls. The last thing I wanted was to see my father, but when I got a message from Austin that my father had become suspicious of me, I knew I had to come. I couldn’
