I had sworn to stay away, to keep my walls high and ensure she didn't slip in. But all it took was a single moment of her flirting with another guy, and I lost control. My legs carried me to her before I could even process what I was doing, and the next thing I knew, I had pulled her away from the crowd.It should have ended there, but my body burned so intensely for her. Every fiber in me felt like it was on fire."Why did you bring me here?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper, her eyes searching mine for answers.My heart pounded so loudly I could barely hear my own thoughts. I struggled to find the right words, but at this point, it was no use—I was already lost in her, and all I wanted was her."F*ck it," I muttered, unable to hold back any longer. I crashed my lips onto hers, the urgency and passion in the kiss making her let out a small groan.It was her fault, I thought. If only she had never spoken with him, smiled, and chuckled at his boring jokes, then none of this
Bas POVAt this point, all I wanted was to be inside her. My hands moved with urgency, unzipping her dress and letting it fall to the floor, revealing her in nothing but a black lacy bra and panties. The sight of her in such enticing lingerie made me growl with desire, my self-control unraveling rapidly.I wasted no time in shedding her remaining clothes, peeling away the bra and panties until she stood naked before me. My eyes roamed her body, taking in the sight of her perfect breasts, the curves that seemed to be sculpted by the gods themselves. Every time I saw her, it was as if I was seeing her for the first time—she was breathtakingly beautiful.Her eyes glittered with lust, mirroring my own. "Have I told you how beautiful you are?" I whispered, my voice husky with need.She smiled, her lips curving in that seductive way that drove me wild. "Always."I couldn't resist any longer. My lips descended to her breast, capturing her nipple and sucking hard while my other hand cupped an
Bas POVAhhhh...Her scream reverberated through the room, a crescendo of pleasure that echoed off the walls as she succumbed to another orgasm. We lay tangled together, limbs entwined amidst the crumpled sheets that barely covered our naked bodies. Her head rested on my chest, rising and falling with the rhythm of our breaths, as we basked in the afterglowA playful smile curved her lips as she looked up at me. "Thanks to you, I might be sore for the next two days," she said with a mischievous grin.I couldn't suppress the smirk that tugged at my lips, a surge of pride swelling within me. "Whose idea was it for us to go for another round?" I teased, running a hand through her tousled hair."Ohhhh," she purred, lifting her head to meet my gaze squarely. "So you're blaming me now?" Her eyes sparkled with a mix of amusement and desire.I chuckled softly, enjoying the banter that flowed between us. "Oh, I could never blame you. In fact, I wouldn't mind doing this all day long if that's w
Becca's POV"I would like to thank everyone who honored my invitation," Darius began, his deep voice resonating through the hall."You all must be wondering, what is this occasion for? Darius isn't one to throw a party unannounced," he said, pausing to scan the crowd, which was filled with curious and eager faces."But I will answer your question. I am a man of dignity. I value respect, loyalty, and bravery. So, not to bore you all with my long speech..."The room fell silent, anticipation hanging thick in the air."Tonight, we celebrate one among us, my faithful subject... Joe."The hall erupted with applause, and there stood Joe, his face a mix of confusion and pride. Though he didn't know why he was being honored, Joe took it upon himself to accept the recognition. Straightening his shoulders, he walked toward Darius with a newfound sense of importance."Thank you, Alpha Darius, for this great reward. I promise to serve you to my very end," Joe said, his voice steady.Darius looked
Bas POVI watched her car drive off, the taillights fading into the night. A pain gnawed at my heart, knowing she was suffering but pretending not to. Did I think Joe deserved what he got? Yes, of course. He caused us so much pain. But I wished she had told me, then I would have taken care of it, and she wouldn't be feeling so guilty.I sighed. How could things go from great to worse in just a split second?Turning, I saw Aubrey standing there, looking at me. The pain in her eyes was unmistakable. She needed an explanation.The car ride home was quiet and unbearably long. Aubrey, who was always chatty, remained silent, staring out the window as we drove. She must have really been hurt, I thought, all because of me.When we got home, Aubrey walked out without saying a word, slamming the door behind her. As much as she was mad, I knew it was important we talk, so I followed her inside."Aubrey, I'm sorry," I said, my voice soft and sincere.She sat by the mirror, cleaning off her makeup
Bas POV"Morning," Aubrey said as she walked into the kitchen. She smiled at me, pretending like nothing had happened the previous night. That was a habit I had noticed about her, a way of brushing past the difficult moments as if they had never occurred."I made breakfast," she said, placing a plate of pancakes on the table. Tom was already seated, devouring his food."Can we talk?" I asked."After breakfast," she replied, sitting down to eat. I joined them, the quiet clink of our cutlery against the plates the only sound filling the room.Despite the silence, it was as if Tom could sense the tension between us. As soon as he finished eating, he excused himself, leaving us alone."Thank you," I said once I was done, getting up to clear the dishes."Let me," Aubrey said, standing to take the plates to the sink."I'm leaving," I said.She paused, turning to look at me, confusion clouding her eyes. "Leaving where?""I'm moving back to my house," I clarified."Oh, the pack house," she sa
Becca's POV"Hey buddy," I said softly, staring at Ravi's grave. The stone was cold and unyielding, but it held so much of my heart."It's me again," I continued, my voice wavering. I felt a lump in my throat, and my words seemed to get stuck. I turned to look at Bas, who stood a few feet away, giving me the space I needed to say my final goodbye to Ravi. His presence was comforting, a silent support. He gave me a small nod, his eyes conveying the encouragement I needed.You can do this.I turned back to Ravi's grave, a bittersweet smile forming on my face as I wiped away the tears that had slipped down my cheeks."We did it, Ravi," I whispered, my voice trembling with emotion. "Joe's finally gone." I clutched the flowers tightly in my hands, the stems bending under my grip."And I'm so happy that you finally got your vengeance, but..." My voice cracked, the raw emotions bubbling up to the surface. "I feel guilty, Ravi. It's like there's this unbearable pain stuck in my chest." I paus
Becca's POV"Mum?" I stammered, my voice barely above a whisper."What are you doi..." My words trailed off as my mother pushed past me, ignoring my attempt to stop her.SLAP.The loud sound of my mother's palm colliding with Bas’s cheek echoed through the apartment. My eyes widened in shock, and I took a step forward, ready to confront her, but my words caught in my throat."How dare you!" she yelled, glaring at him with fury. "You promised you’d never come back."What?!"Haven't you done enough?" she screamed, her voice filled with anger and pain.Bas remained silent, his gaze fixed on the floor as my mother continued to berate him. Her hand raised again, poised to strike, but I was quicker. I grabbed her wrist, stopping her mid-air."That's enough," I said, my voice stern as I looked her in the eye. Her wide eyes met mine, filled with shock and disbelief."Bas, can you give us a minute?" I asked, still holding my mother's wrist."Becca..." he began, concern evident in his voice."J
