Bás (completed book 6 of the blood moon saga)

11

Fay started to fall asleep on my knee, I had to keep on waking her in order to get any food In her. I could feel she was starting to heat up so I knew her wolf was probably breaking through so I ate quickly and brought her to bed. I stripped her off her clothes and lay her in bed beside me while I finished my paperwork then I pulled out my laptop and started to plan a trip for us both. The trip of her dreams.

When I was done I decided to do some shopping for her, she might not be into all the fancy stuff but she still needed clothes and she would need even more for our trip so I ordered her luggage and everything from swimwear to ski gear, jackets and coats to jungle boots. She was mine to spoil and I loved that. When I was done I put everything away and pulled her into my chest. Her soft snores and scent lulled me to sleep in no time.

Fay's POV

Helloooooooooooooooooo wake up b***h!

What in the world? Who the hell is that? I yawn and open my eyes and smile when I see Arden fast asleep beside me. He is incredibly beautiful.

He really is a sexy hunk of meat ain't he

Yeah he really—

"What the f**k"

I jump from the bed to find out who the hell was in my room

Oh please take a chill it's just me

"And who the hell are you? And where are you?"

I frantically jump around the bed, my heart rate picking up and my breathing catches in my throat

Thea

Your wolf. Chill sis I'm in your head. My names Thea

Relief floods me and I drop back into bed and roll up beside Arden. His arms automatically extend and he rips me across the bed and into his chest protectively. I smile and get cosy in his warm embrace

Fay

Shit balls you nearly gave me a heart attack

Thea

I noticed. So are you going to get up and shift?

Fay

Later I'm tired

Thea

No wake up please. I want to meet our mate!

I groan and pull the blanket up over my chest.

"What's wrong baby"

Arden whispers into my ear

"My wolf has decided she wants to shift right now but I want to sleep"

His sleepy eyes open and he groans. But all of a sudden bás pushes forward and sits up on the bed

"Mate mate mate mate now mate!"

I cry and lay back down after my heart stops beating a million miles an hour

"Seriously can we not do this at an normal hour"

Thea

Please I want to meet mate. Please.

I growl and then I jump up in surprise

"Holy fuckballs I just growled"

Arden decided this was the best thing ever and he cackled away.

"That was the cutest growl ever"

Thea

Ugh offended much we will show him

She growls again only this time it's more menacing and I jump in surprise and slap Ardens chest excitedly

"We have to go, we have to go shift! I'm a f*****g wolf!"

Arden starts to laugh again and only then do I realise that I'm naked.

"How did I get naked?"

I look around for my clothes and Arden looks away guiltily and i cross my arms over my chest. I didn't care but I liked to poke fun at him.

"Well— well you where um— getting um—"

I snort and laugh and shake my head then jump out of bed

"I'm joking. Come on let's go shift"

I throw on a vest top and shorts and Arden pulls on shorts and shoes, I don't bother with shoes and instead climb on his body.

Thea

Mate is a hunk and a half. Ohh mamma

I chuckle and rest my head in his neck and I kiss and suck on my mark.

"If you keep doing that we ain't going anywhere"

I chuckle but stop. He Carries me outside and then he sets me on my feet and leads me to a locker room and he starts to strip me of my clothes. When I'm naked he sits on the ground beside me

"It's going to hurt but I'll be here the entire time. Don't fight the pain. Just let it happen"

I sigh and nod

Me

Thea do your thing because I have no ide——

I scream as a pain rips through my core and up my spine. Tears instantly brim at my eyes and my breath gets caught in my chest

"Shh baby just relax.. I know it hurts the first time but just breath and let it happen"

I do what he says and look into his mesmerising eyes and I scream as my entire body starts to shake and tremble. I let the pain pass by me and I disconnect myself from my body and concentrate on his eyes and on my breathing. I feel my bones break but I'm numb to the pain.

——fays flashback——

It had been 24 hours of whipping and the pain only got worse as the sharp metal hit my oozing flesh. But something remarkable happened as the harsh metal pelted my flesh. My mind went to a memory I had lost so long ago. It was me on my mother's knee as she rhymes rockabye baby slowly. I stay in that memory and I watch her features as I sing along with her. I remember how it felt to be held by her. I could feel what was happening but it didn't hurt anymore and I no longer saw it. I stayed like that until it stopped and when it did my mother came back with me in a sense. When things got too hard she would shove me back into similar memories and suddenly living with 3 monsters got a whole lot easier.

—-flashback ends——

"Fay? Fay, can you hear me, are you ok?"

I look at his face and realise how well I can see him. He is so beautiful. Even more so than I ever imagined. I look past him as I realise I can see the dust particles at the other side of the dark room. I sniff the air and grown only I purr instead as I take in his sweet marshmallow scent

Thea

You did well fay.

Thea leaps forward and licks Arden on the face. He chuckles and rubs his fingers through my fur.

"Your incredibly beautiful. I need to take a picture of you"

He falls back and grabs his phone as Thea decides to prance and pose on her toes. He laughs at her antics but snaps a few pictures. Then he pulls of his shorts and Thea starts to purrr like a kitten

Me

Oh lord thea stop it this instant

She whines and huffs but stops herself. He falls forward and by the time his hands hit the floor he has shifted.

He is so beautiful. His fur was raven black and he was huge. Bás came over and whined, finally able to meet his mate for the first time. She's smaller than him but not by that much. He turns and pushes on the door and I follow him outside. He nudged me and I followed after him.

We ran for a little while and it was honestly surreal, I could see and hear everything so much clearer and I felt stronger and more Empowered than ever before. We ran in the darkness for around 10 minutes but stopped and a small lake as the sun started to rise.

It was so beautiful. Thea sat beside bás and he rested his head on hers and suddenly everything in the world felt safe and right. I could cope with anything as long as I have them.

When the sun had risen he nudged me and we went back home. Shifting back was a lot easier than the first time and to my surprise my body felt stronger to.

"Come I need to feed you"

He kissed me softly but I was hyper aware that we were both naked and outside. He pulled back and smirked like he new what I was thinking. I pulled on my vest top and shorts as he pulls on his shorts and lifts me into his arms. I wrap my legs around his waist and i suck on my mark. I'm not sure why I loved to do it but I couldn't help myself.

"Mmmmmm you are such a tease"

He grumbles. I chuckle. I want to mark him, I want to mark him back.

"No, you're the tease. Look at you. Blessed I'm telling you"

He snorts and buries his head into my shoulder and yanks on my mark making me Yelp. I kiss up his neck and run my hands down his neck. He sits down and I move from his neck to his jaw and then his lips.

I Moan as the sparks erupt all over my face and I open my mouth so he can enter. I growl and he growls back and I get lost in his touch. My hips buck slightly and he freezes

And pulls away.

"We are in the kitchen"

My face flares as I look around and realise we are alone. He chuckles at me but my face just goes brighter.

"It's hard to stop when I start. Especially now that you smell so good. I didn't think it was possible to taste like toasted marshmallows"

"I didn't think it was possible to love someone so much"

He answers me then kisses me again only this time slowly. Sexy and completely mouth-wateringly.

"Acheeemmmmmmm"

I pulled away and turned around and blushed when i seen aspen.

"Don't be embarrassed sis, I'd just rather eat my breakfast without a show"

"Sorry"

I said sheepishly, Arden pulled me tight against his chest and kissed my cheek.

"Can I see the picture of me as a wolf"

"Ofcourse. Your beautiful. Like really really beautiful and a lot bigger then I imagined"

I smiled and took the phone. My fur matched my strawberry red hair. Making my teal eyes really pop.

Me

We are so pretty

Thea

That we are.

We ate breakfast with comfortable conversation, I didn't jump out of my skin or hyperventilate the entire time. I felt stronger and less afraid.

When we were done I went to training with Arden, the wolves lay with me on the ground and soon my eyes started to close exhaustion taking over. The comfort of the wolves surrounding me and there warm fur against my skin soon sent me into a peaceful sleep

——-fays flashback nightmare——

"You went to f*****g far you could have killed her"

"Look, it's tradition where I come from. Normal. It is purification and she definitely needed it. I bet she won't ever talk back again"

My body shook as the pain started to come back. I needed more painkillers

"Help"

I cried out, my throat was dry from the morphine. Donny came into my line of sight with the medication box, I sat up and cry out as the pain had somehow gotten worse. I grab the morphine and take 3 more pills and add some paracetamol on top then I realise I need to pee.

"Can you help me to the bathroom"

Donny says nothing, he just lifts me up and carry's me to the bathroom. I scream as he moves me. He sets me down and I brace myself for the pain. I scream bloody murder as the pain rips through me. A very angry Steven stalked through the door and punched me on the side of the face. My face swung and hit the wall beside the toilet with a Craic.

"Shut the f**k up you attention seeking b***h"

I let the tears fall silently as black spots appeared in my vision and soon as I was out cold.

.........

1 week later..

"Get up, you useless b***h and do something"

Steven yanked me by the hair and pulled me out of bed. I had never experienced pain like how I had felt over the last week. I've been unable to walk much and when they took the painkillers away I couldn't get comfortable no matter how much I tried.

He pulled me from the bed and dropped me. I hit the floor face first and cried out when the hard wood connected with my already swollen eye. I pushed myself to my feet, taking it slowly. I used the wall to keep me upright and I made it to the kitchen where the dishes were piled up high.

I spent the next 30 minutes washing and drying anything but as I finished up I could feel eyes bore into me. And soon enough Steven was behind me and I could feel his hands Grab my hips painfully. He pushed me forward putting his full weight on my back, pushing my front into the sink painfully and cutting of the air supply.

"Please don't do this until I'm healed"

"As if I care if you're healed or not"

His voice was cold and unemotional and it sent a shiver of fear down my back. He pulled my trousers off and grabbed my private parts I screamed in agony but this just spurred the sick f**k on and soon he forced himself inside me and I passed out in pain

———end of flashback———-

Ardens POV

I watched her as she lay surrounded by wolves, completely relaxed and comfortable.

Happy she was happy I trained right beside her but everything and Everyone came to a standstill as her screams surrounded us and tore through my chest like barbed wire. I ran to her and scooped her into my chest.

"Sssh baby I'm here I'm here"

She continued to scream and thrash in my arms as unshed tears threatened to blind me. I ran inside with her

"Fay it's Arden. Your safe it's Arden"

But it didn't work and her entire body was trembling in complete fear. Through all her screams I hadn't noticed gran and Sophie were their.

"Tv room so we can try and help her"

Gran said urgently. I ran into the room and held her to my chest but she pulled, kicked and even punched me. My pure fayfay, fighting for her life when in reality she never had to fight again.

Gran and Sophie layed hands on her and immediately her screaming and thrashing stopped. I could feel the healing power from both of them flow through her and me but suddenly I was thrown back into the vision with her.

——-fays flashback——-

The first time I was raped was horrific. I felt everything. The pain, the fear and terror and I could see and smell and that made it all worse.

The second time was just as bad but the 3rd time a little easier and soon it became his daily routine and it was better if I didn't fight back. If I did that he hit me.

When I escaped I had hope. Hope that I would never need to endure it again. Hope that I could be free from the life of slavery. But hopes a horrible thing. When hope is crushed it's like someone pouring acid over your heart. But living in hope when your living in hell is a scary thing but after months of brutal rape every single day. That hope fades and in its place is a void so dark and black it swallows you from the inside out.

It strangles you and leaves you numb. And that's how I lived for so long. I was just numb. Numb to the pain they inflicted everyday.

One by one, my mind flits through every single rape. Every Time someone touches me without permission. I scream as I feel it all. All at the same time. I scream as it burns through my blood like acid.

I feel it all as it rips a hole from my chest and I pray for death. I prayed that death would take me because it's bound to be better than this.

It carries on for what felt like forever but when the last scene stops something remarkable happens. The pain leaves and a box opens and one by one the memory's are shoved into a box one after the other. The box separates into 2 different boxes. One is see through and the other is black.

I can see each memory but suddenly there is no pain that comes with them. The black box removes itself from my head and a feeling of weightlessness washes over me and suddenly I felt like I was floating on a cloud.

——flashback ends———

"Wow"

I wipe the tears from my eyes as I look down at my mate. She has silent tears fall from her sleeping eyes too. She's sound asleep and I can feel the peace radiating from her.

"That was intense. She will probably sleep all day. Are you ok?"

Sophie said wiping her own tears from her face. I had no words to share.

"I can't believe that she went through all that?"

I was in shock. How could anyone endure that and survive?

"She's still got a long way to go. We have taken the rape and s****l assault but we still need to deal with emotional abuse and and physical assault. But she needs today to rest and so do we"

Gran said quietly. I just nodded and got up from the seat, I told the pack if they needed me to go to aspen and I decided to spend the day with her while she slept and I would do work in the room.

I spent most of the day thinking about what she endured. How she went through all that and still was willing to trust me I just couldn't understand how.

Bás

The Ailm bond. If it wasn't for that she wouldn't trust us probably ever. Be greatful that it allowed her the chance to get to know us.

Me

Yeah your right.

"Arden?"

Her little voice pulls me from my thoughts and I race to her side. I wrap my arms around her and turn her so she's facing me and I pull her into my chest.

"Right here baby. You scared me"

I felt emotional. Like I could cry. I haven't cried since I was a small child but since I've met Fay I might as well be a stuttering baby.

"I'm sorry. I feel better. Tired but better"

I sigh in relief and I rest my head on hers.

"Thank the heavens. You have been through so much I'm insanely lucky you trusted me. I love you"

"I love you too"

I grinned and my heart filled with joy. She hadn't said that yet. I told her every chance I got but she hadn't said it yet.

"You do?"

"Ofcourse I do. Your the other half of my soul. I love you so much"

She pushed forward and kissed me.

Fays POV

I kissed him pulling his head towards mine. I pulled his face impossibly close and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He was mine and I was his.

His hands grabs my butt and pulls me up towards him. I push him onto his back and I slide on top letting him sit up and lean against the headboard.

I pull on his shirt and he lets me pull it off him. Meeting his lips as soon as it's over his head. I run my hands down his neck and over his shoulders as he pulled my shirt up and over my head.

His fingers run up my back slowly making me shudder slightly. I kiss down his neck and I suck on his mark. I feel his d**k twitch beneath me and I smile. I kiss and suck down his chest and I run my tongue over each tight muscle. He tasted amazing and if his skin wasn't so hard I'd probably take a bite forgetting he was a person and not a marshmallow.

I pulled on his trousers and he froze then lifted my chin up so I was looking at him.

"You don't have to do that baby. I promise I expect nothing"

He might not but I do. I've never felt free like this before and I want to take advantage of it while I can. And the only person I want to do anything with is Arden. My Arden. I look him in the eye.

"I always believed that I kept my virginity because it's a gift to give not to be taken. The same with all my firsts. I might not be ready to go the whole way but I am ready to go some of the way. It's my gift to you and I really really want to give it to you"

He smiled a genuine smile

"As far as I'm concerned you are still a virgin. Just know that you can stop at any point ok?"
