The Alpha’s Human Temptation Chapter Eighty-Nine
Aurora's PovThe dining hall felt very quiet, the air thick with unspoken words as everyone began leaving one by one. First Caleb, then Barbra and Ryan. Even the teenagers excused themselves, making it clear that they didn’t want to linger. It left only Elliot and me at the table, and for a moment, I wondered if I should excuse myself as well.Elliot leaned back in his chair, studying me with amusement. “You’re not going to tell me how it was, right?”I nearly choked on my drink. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, Elliot.”He chuckled, shaking his head. “Young people.”I rolled my eyes and decided to change the subject. Something had been on my mind for a while now, and I finally had the opportunity to ask. “That reminds me, can I ask you something?”Elliot nodded. “Go ahead.”I hesitated for a second. “I’ve been wondering… I’ve never seen you with a mate. Where is she? What happened to her?”The lightheartedness in his face disappeared instantly. His expression hardened, and hi

Ryan's Pov Walking down the hallway with Aunt Barbra, I already knew what this was about. Aurora. It was always about Aurora. She stopped when she felt we were far enough from the dining hall. Then, she turned to face me, arms crossed. "Out of all people, it's the human?" she said. I sighed. "Is that why you brought me here, Auntie?" "Oh, stop this. Karen was the perfect match for you." "But she wasn't my mate. Aurora is my mate. And the sooner you start accepting that, the better." Her eyes hardened. "I'll never accept her." I clenched my jaw. "Did she ever do something to you? Just take a moment to see how nice she is, Auntie." "Really? It's because she's not like us. I refuse to accept someone who is different." She scoffed. "If that's the case, then I see no reason talking to you." I turned to leave. "She's my top priority, and if you don't see that, then this conversation is over." "Wait, stop." Her voice softened. "I'm sorry. I'll try to accept her. It's just... I don

Aurora’s Pov It had been exactly one week since the incident, and I still hadn’t spoken to anyone. I didn’t feel like leaving the room. I made sure Mira and Leila stayed away, not even bothering to tell them how things had turned out. The events we had planned felt like a distant memory, something from another life. I wanted to be happy. I really did. But at the same time, I couldn’t be. My mind wouldn’t let me. Ryan tried everything he could to get me to talk, to make me smile, but I just couldn’t wrap my head around everything that had happened. It felt unreal, like I was watching someone else’s life fall apart. Randall, one of the maids that I wasn’t close to was the one bringing my food and dresses. I didn’t even bother asking about anything else. I was tired of being upset, tired of feeling this way. Ryan had a meeting, so I was alone in the room when I heard a knock. “Come in,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. I was exhausted. The door opened, and someone steppe

Karen's Pov The wind howled against my skin, biting through my thin cloak as I stood outside the witches' barrier. My fists clenched at my sides, nails digging into my palms as frustration boiled inside me. I tried yesterday. They hadn’t let me in. But today, I wasn’t leaving without being heard. North of town, past the ancient woods, stood the unseen walls of their territory. An invisible force, impenetrable to werewolves, pulsed before me. I raised my hands, pressing against nothingness, feeling the sting of rejection. “Please,” I whispered, then louder. “Let me in. I need help. I’m in dire need of help!” No answer. The wind was my only response. I had been here for hours, pacing, pleading, my body trembling from exhaustion. My stomach twisted in hunger, my limbs ached from the cold, but I wouldn’t leave. I couldn’t. Not until I got what I came for. Aurora had to go. If Ryan wasn’t going to choose me, then he wasn’t going to have her either. It was either me or nobody. He was

Karen’s Pov As I sat alone in the dimly lit room, waiting for Ziani’s return, I found myself questioning my decision. Had I made a mistake? Was I truly willing to give up my emotions, my ability to love, to feel anything? No. Ryan didn’t love me. He cared, but not in the way I needed him to. My parents had only ever loved me a little, just enough to keep up appearances. In the end, what did it matter? I had spent my life craving love, and for what? To end up broken and discarded? I clenched my fists. No. This wasn’t a mistake. This was the only way. I sighed and continued looking around, waiting, listening to the faint rustle of wind outside. The air in this place was thick, charged with something dark and ancient. The thought should have unsettled me, but it didn’t. Nothing did anymore. Not long after, Ziani returned. “It’s ready,” she said. “Let’s go.” I stood, smoothing my dress. “Where are we going?” She shot me a sharp look. “Follow me. And don’t ask silly questions.” I

Aurora’s PovToday was the day.I was finally going home.The thought sent a strange mix of emotions spiraling through me, excitement, nervousness, even fear. I had fought so hard to free my mother from Marcos and Greg, and now that the moment had come, my heart hammered against my ribs. I hadn’t seen them in a while, and the thought of facing them again made my stomach churn.But at the same time… there was hope.Maybe, just maybe, once my mother was safe, we could be a family again. Maybe we could heal.I smoothed down my dress, trying to focus on the present, but I could feel Ryan’s eyes on me. I turned slightly to see him sitting on the bed, watching me as I brushed my hair. His gaze was steady, as if he could sense the storm of emotions inside me.“Are you okay?” he asked softly.I forced a small smile. “Yes. I’m fine. Just… feeling a lot of things right now.”Ryan stood and walked over, placing his hands on my shoulders, his touch grounding me. “I understand,” he said, his voice

Aurora’s Pov I stood in front of the door, my heart pounding against my ribs. My hands felt cold, my fingers trembling slightly as I raised them to knock. Knock. Knock. Silence. I glanced back at Ryan, Caleb, and Elliot. They all watched me, their faces unreadable. I knocked again, harder this time. Knock. Knock. Knock. Still nothing. Something was wrong. My breath hitched as I reached for the doorknob. It turned too easily. The door wasn’t locked. I pushed it open, and the moment I stepped inside, a shiver ran down my spine. The house felt... empty. Not just in the way a house feels when no one is home, but in a way that made my stomach twist with unease. Ryan, Caleb, and Elliot followed me in, their eyes scanning the space just as mine did. The place was a disaster. Broken glass scattered across the floor. Chairs overturned. The lamp near the television shattered into pieces. Dust settled on the furniture, like no one had touched them in weeks. My throat tightened. “W

Aurora’s Pov I stood there, frozen. My chest rose and fell rapidly, but no one spoke. The silence suffocated me. I turned to Elliot, then to Ryan, searching their faces for something….anything. But they just stood there. "This woman is probably joking," I muttered, my voice cracking. "Let’s just go to the hotel and come back soon enough. My mother is fine, right? Right?" No one answered. Ryan didn’t say anything. Caleb and Elliot didn’t say anything. My hands clenched into fists. I turned sharply, grabbing Elliot by his shirt. "Don’t you want to see your wife? The woman you love?!" I screamed. "Why are you standing there, saying nothing?! She just went somewhere, right? She isn't dead! She isn't dead, right?!" Ryan stepped forward. "Aurora, calm down.. " "Calm down?!" My voice cracked as I turned on him. "Did you just tell me to calm down?" Ryan inhaled deeply. "What the woman said might be true… or it might not be. Let’s just drive down to the morgue…" "You know where th

The Alpha’s Human Temptation Epilogue
Aurora’s Pov I wanted to die of secondhand embarrassment. Alphas were supposed to be dignified, strong, and composed. Ryan? Ryan was screaming like a lunatic, making a scene in front of the entire hospital. The pain hit me harder, and I let out a sharp breath. Immediately, nurses rushed over with a hospital bed. Ryan ran beside me, putting on hospital gloves like he was about to deliver the baby. “I’m here for you, Aurora,” he said, his voice shaking. “I’m here.” The doctor arrived, a middle-aged man with a calm demeanor. “How are you feeling?” I barely had the energy to glare at him. “Like I want to poop.” Ryan’s eyes widened in horror. “WHAT?!” The doctor chuckled. “That means the baby is coming. Alright, Aurora, I’m going to need you to push.” I nodded, gripping Ryan’s hand as the nurses positioned me. “Keep your legs straight,” the doctor instructed. Ryan’s eyes darkened. “Why are you looking at my wife like that?” The doctor looked confused. “Because I’m delivering h

Ryan’s Pov(Three Years Later)I was just pouring Aurora a glass of juice, minding my own business, when suddenly….“RYAN!”The glass slipped from my hand, shattering against the counter. I spun around so fast I nearly dislocated something. My heart lurched into my throat as I bolted into the living room.“What happened? What happened? Are you okay? Who do I need to kill?”Aurora was standing there, eyes wide, hands gripping her stomach. Then she looked up at me and said the words that completely short-circuited my brain.“My water just broke.”I blinked. “What does that mean?”She gave me a look. “Ryan.”“What water? Did you spill something? Are you thirsty?” I was already turning back toward the kitchen, my brain refusing to process.She groaned and pointed at her belly. “THE BABY IS COMING.”My entire soul left my body.“The baby is coming?!” My voice hit a pitch I didn’t know I was capable of. “Like RIGHT NOW?!”Aurora, the love of my life, the mother of my unborn child, had the au

Aurora’s PovZiani’s eyes darkened as she stepped forward. “What do you mean you are not going with me?” Her voice was laced with disbelief. “We had a deal, Aurora.”I met her gaze without flinching. “Yes, I know we had a deal. But before we continue, I want to ask everyone in this room a question.”A murmur rippled through the council as they exchanged glances.“Go ahead,” one of the elders finally said.I turned, my eyes sweeping across every single person in the room. My voice was steady, unwavering.“Who is the moon goddess now?”Silence hung for a moment before, in unison, the room responded.“You are.”I shifted my gaze to Ziani. “And who is the leader now?”Her jaw tightened, but she didn’t hesitate. “You are.”A slow smile formed on my lips. “Then I make the rules.”The moment those words left my mouth, the room erupted into chaos.“I might not know everything about the Moon Goddess yet,” I continued over their voices, “but I will learn it in no time. And as long as I am in th

Aurora’s PovSilence swallowed the battlefield as Karen’s body went still. Her last words echoed in my mind, haunting and heavy. I had thought I was ready for this, that I was prepared to do whatever it took to protect what was mine, but as I stared at her lifeless form, all I felt was a deep, aching sorrow.This was never how I wanted it to be.The weight of everything crashed down on me all at once. My limbs trembled, and suddenly, the pain that had been numbed by adrenaline surged back, searing through my body like fire. My legs gave out.I barely registered the panicked voices around me before I hit the ground.Elliot, Caleb, and Ryan rushed toward me, their faces etched with worry.“I’m fine,” I muttered, though the pounding in my head and the sharp sting in my wounds said otherwise. “I’m just… just hot a little.”Ryan crouched beside me, his jaw clenched. “Hot a little? You’re burning up,” he snapped. His hands hovered over me as if he was afraid to touch me, afraid that I might

Karen’s PovThe battleground was silent for a moment, thick with tension. The crowd gathered, eyes locked on us, their whispers barely audible over the howling wind. I rolled my shoulders, cracking my knuckles, and took slow steps forward, never breaking eye contact with Aurora.She stood across from me, her body battered, her clothes stained with blood and dirt. Weakness radiated from her, yet she still held her chin high, defiance burning in her eyes.Pathetic."You should have stayed down when you had the chance," I sneered, my claws extending, itching to sink into her flesh. "This is your last warning, Aurora. Step aside and let me have what’s mine."She wiped blood from the corner of her mouth and spat onto the dirt. "Ryan was never yours, Karen. And he never will be."That was all I needed.With a growl, I lunged at her, my claws swiping toward her throat. She barely dodged, rolling to the side before springing to her feet.The fight had begun.The moment our bodies collided aga

Karen’s PovI have been watching. Waiting.Every day, I moved unseen through the corridors of this mansion, listening, observing. I watched them whisper about her, pray for her, cry for her. Aurora. Aurora. Aurora.Her name was on everyone’s lips, like she was some kind of savior.It was pathetic.She had actually left to break the curse, to throw herself into the jaws of death, and for what? Love? How foolish.I had given Ryan everything. My love, my loyalty, my soul. And still, he had chosen her. But I told myself it wasn’t over. I told myself I had time. That if I played my cards right, I could get him back.Then today happened.The mansion was alive with excitement. People were gathering. And when I saw what they were looking at, who they were looking at, my blood boiled.Aurora was back.She had survived.And I knew, at that moment, that if I didn’t act now, I would lose everything forever.So, I stepped into the mansion.Nobody stopped me. They all still saw me as the ex-Luna. R
The Alpha’s Human Temptation Chapter Hundred-Thirty One
Ryan’s PovI sat alone in my room, staring at the empty space before me. It had been a month and a week since she left. Since Aurora walked into that cursed place. Since she vanished from my life.Every day without her felt like a slow death.I had no reason to live anymore.I had fought, waited, hoped, prayed. But she was not back.And now… I was starting to fear the worst.Ziani had come to Shadow Heaven today, her face grim, her words laced with worry."It's taking longer than expected," she had said. "Maybe… maybe she made the wrong choice by going in."The words sliced through me like a dagger.Was this how I was going to lose her?No.No.I clenched my fists so tightly my nails dug into my skin. Aurora was strong. She had fought battles before. She had survived the impossible.She was going to come back to me.She must come back to me.Then, suddenly, I heard it.Noise. Screaming. Voices rising in panic.My body tensed. My wolf growled. Something was happening.I shot to my feet
The Alpha’s Human Temptation Chapter Hundred-Thirty
Aurora’s PovMy eyelids felt heavy, my body weak, but my mind was sharp. The moment my eyes fluttered open, I saw them.Jazmine and Rhys.They were dragging me, their hands gripping my arms as if I were nothing more than a discarded rag doll. They thought I was still unconscious. They really thought I was still asleep.Their voices were hushed, but I could hear them."She must be out of her mind for coming here," Jazmine muttered."It’s because of love," Rhys replied. "You can do anything for love."Jazmine scoffed. "Now love is going to kill her."I clenched my teeth. No, I thought. Love can never kill me. I will fight for love. And I will win.I reached for Melissa, my wolf, my other half."Melissa," I called out in my mind. "We have to fight."Her response was weak, strained. "We’re tired, Aurora…""No," I said, firm and unwavering. "We are not tired. We have to fight. We have to win this battle. Or don’t you want to go back to Draven?"Silence. Then, a whisper of longing. "I miss
The Alpha’s Human Temptation Chapter Hundred-Twenty Nine
Aurora’s PovMy eyes fluttered open, but the world around me was nothing but darkness. My body ached, my head was pounding, and for a moment, I couldn’t remember where I was or how I got here. Then it all started coming back.I had walked into the portal. I had felt the pull of another world, dragging me into the unknown. Days ago. Or weeks. I couldn't tell. Time didn’t exist in this place. The only thing that remained was the memory of that voice calling my name."Aurora."And then the impact. A sudden, sharp blow that sent me spiraling into unconsciousness.Now I was here. Chained. Weak. Trapped.I tried to move, but the cold bite of iron dug into my wrists and ankles. The chains rattled, heavy and unbreakable. My breathing was uneven as I struggled against them, but it was no use. The air smelled of damp stone and something unnatural, something suffocating. I wasn't alone.The door creaked open, and footsteps echoed against the stone floor. A woman stepped into the dim light, her e
