Aria's POVI knew I should have killed him before. As I walked deeper into the woods, my senses sharpened, detecting his presence growing nearer. Once I found him, I would seize his breath, watching as he helplessly begged for air while he died.Arriving at the abandoned building where the spell I had cast directed me, I took a cautious step toward the entrance. Just as I was about to enter, Tabitha emerged from the shadows."Tabitha, oh thank God, you're..." My words trailed off as suspicion flickered in my mind. "Wait, why are you here?"Tabitha took a deep breath, her expression pained. "I wished it never came to this.""What did you do?" I demanded, my voice rising. "Don't tell me you're the one who freed him.""I had no other choice, Aria," Tabitha confessed, her voice wavering. "This is too much. We are endangering people. It doesn't have to be like this. Let's just go b—""Shut up!" I roared, my anger boiling over."How dare you? I waited years for this, and you ruined it for m

Bas POVA few days passed, and each second was filled with Becca by my side. After the whole Aria situation, she felt an overwhelming guilt and never wanted to leave me. While I loved every moment of her presence, I hated that she still blamed herself."You do know I have healing powers, right?" I said, watching her as she held my hands, checking for the tenth time if the scar was still there. Her brow furrowed with worry, her lips pressed into a thin line of concentration."I know, I just..." she trailed off, her voice tinged with lingering anxiety."Becca, I'm really okay," I assured her, gently cupping her cheeks with my hands. Her eyes, filled with a mix of concern and affection, met mine. "Thanks to you, I've been in bed for the last few days, all wrapped up with the woman I love." I pulled her to the bed, snuggling closer. "This has been the best time of my life. Maybe I should get hurt more often."She chuckled softly, her shoulders finally relaxing a bit. "Don't you dare," she

Becca's POVI tossed in the bed, my hands moving to the left, hoping to feel Bas beside me. My heart sank when my hand met only cold sheets. Opening my eyes, I scanned the room, realizing he was gone. Had he left during the night?I wished he had stayed. The emptiness of the room pressed in on me, a stark reminder of the two years I had spent alone. Darius had locked me up as punishment, forbidding me from even stepping outside. I was isolated, with no phone to reach out to my friends or my mum. The only comfort was knowing they were safe, thanks to Bas. He had instructed Tom to watch over them, and occasionally, I received updates about their well-being.With a heavy sigh, I rose from the bed and headed to the shower. The cold water cascaded over my body, but it did little to wash away the tension coiled within me. I stood there for a while, letting the water flow, hoping it might provide some semblance of relief. It didn't.Stepping out, I wrapped a towel around myself and caught a g

Bas POV"You have me, Bas. I'm all yours," she said, pulling back just enough to look into my eyes, her own filled with desire and longing.That was it. In a swift move, I rolled her beneath me, my breaths ragged as I took in the sight of her. God, she was breathtaking. Her hair fanned out around her, her lips swollen from our kisses, her eyes dark with need.She bit her lower lip, her gaze locked onto mine, daring me to take her. My eyes fell to her lips, the temptation too great to resist. I leaned down, capturing her mouth in a fierce kiss, my hands roaming her body, feeling every curve, every inch of her that I had longed to touch.In a swift move, I stripped away her clothes, then mine. It was all so fast, so urgent—I needed to feel her, and at this point, if I couldn't, I might lose my mind.I positioned myself over her, our eyes locking for a moment, heavy with shared need. Quickly but gently, I thrust into her, a deep groan escaping both our lips at the overwhelming sensation.

Becca's POVI turned, and there he was, lying peacefully. I could stare at him all day. My eyes studied his face; he looked so serene, so untroubled. If only he could look like this all the time, free from worry about anything or anyone."I'm sorry," I whispered, as I gently got up from the bed, careful not to wake him.Heading to the shower, I allowed the water to flow down my body, memories of my conversation with Darius replaying in my mind.Flashback"We need to talk," I said, my voice steady despite the churning anxiety inside me.Darius looked at me, taking a seat as he crossed his legs. His eyes held a glint of amusement. "I'm all ears."I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself. "Are you ever going to stop locking Bas up?"Darius's lips curled into a faint, mocking smile. "It's not my fault he's being a pain in the ass. All he has to do is get you pregnant and fulfill the prophecy. How hard could it be?"Maybe because he's not a monster like you, I thought, biting back the r
