Becca's POV It had been less than 12 hours since Ravi's death. I sat in my room, still trying to process everything that had happened. My best friend was dead because of me. He had been fine a few hours ago, and now his lifeless body lay in the mortuary. Tears rolled down my face, and my head throbbed from crying so much. Eating or even speaking felt impossible.My mom walked into my room, her eyes filled with concern as she carried a plate of food."Sweetheart," she said softly, setting the tray on my bed and gently touching my head. "You need to eat something."I stared at her, shaking my head. I couldn't. I felt her arms wrap around me, her warmth offering a sliver of comfort. "It's okay, baby," she whispered, her voice cracking as she fought her own tears.Suddenly, we heard a knock at the door. We shared a look, understanding without words. It was them. They had come for me.My heart pounded as the realization sank in. The weight of the world pressed down on me, and I could see

Bas POVWho would have thought the sight of my father would result in so much hatred within me? My muscles tensed, and my vision narrowed, focusing solely on the man I once looked up to, the man I loved and was willing to do anything to make proud. The man who betrayed me."Why?" I demanded, my voice shaking with barely controlled rage. "Why did you do it?"Alpha Darius stepped closer, his smirk never faltering. "You were getting too weak. It had to be done to bring you back to reality."My eyes widened, shocked by his response. "You're insane," I said through gritted teeth, my fists clenching at my sides. "Do you have no remorse? Because of you, a child died."I watched my father chuckle as if I had said something funny. "Losses are meant to happen."How can he say that?I lunged at him, but the pain in my chest flared up, stopping me in my tracks. I fell to my knees, gasping for breath."Bas, please," Tom said, trying to help me up. "You need to heal."I pushed his hands away, forci

Becca's POVMy fingers held the nail, trembling as I pressed it against my wrist. The overwhelming pain and despair pushed me to the edge. Ending it all seemed like the only escape. But then, images of my mom, dad, and Lola flashed through my mind. The thought of the pain I would cause them held me back. And Ravi’s death—no, I couldn’t let his death be in vain.With a deep breath, I dropped the nail. My resolve hardened as I stood up. I promised myself I would avenge his death. I would find a way to fight back, no matter the cost.***The knock on my door made me turn. I watched as some women walked in holding a dress."It's time," one of them said.I clenched my trembling hands and gave a small nod. They led me to the tub, the warm water barely soothing the storm of emotions inside me. As they washed me, my thoughts were a whirlwind of fear and defiance. After the bath, I walked back into the room and saw a beautiful dress laid out for me. It was an intricate gown, shimmering under t

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.
