The Alpha’s Human Temptation Chapter Fifty-Four
Ryan’s povI saw when Aurora stepped out of her office, heading toward Sophie and Adam to hand over some documents. My eyes followed her every movement, admiring her without shame. But I didn’t miss the way Adam looked at her.He liked her.My jaw tightened as I focused my sharp hearing on their conversation. Adam gestured for her to follow him to his desk, and though I could no longer see them, I could hear every word.He was inviting her to a party.And then he asked her to go with him.The nerve.I stood up before I could stop myself. I shouldn't have. I knew I should let her handle things on her own. But I couldn’t. Why would I, when another man was trying to take what was mine?I didn’t care what Aurora thought. She needed to understand that no one could come close to her. No one could have her but me.Without a second thought, I walked straight to them. Adam was still waiting for her answer, but I gave it for her.“She won’t say yes.”Both of them turned to look at me. Aurora’s

Aurora’s povRyan left for a business meeting, and I got back to work. I took short breaks here and there until it was finally time to leave. He had left me in Jamie’s care.He’s such a romantic. I couldn’t help but smile."You're thinking about him, aren’t you?" Sophie’s voice startled me. I hadn’t even noticed when she walked in."When did you get in?" I asked, quickly trying to wipe the blush off my face."I knocked three times, and you didn’t open up. I decided to let myself in and caught you daydreaming. I even called your name," she said, standing there with her arms crossed."I wasn’t daydreaming," I said casually as I stood up and started packing my things to leave."Are you guys dating now?" she asked out of nowhere."Who? What are you talking about?" I asked, pretending not to know what she meant."I’m talking about the boss.""Oh… umm… we aren’t dating," I said quickly."But he kissed you. In front of everyone. And you guys looked like you were about to make out when I came

Aurora’s PovI was falling.The pain was unbearable, my vision blurred, and my body felt cold. Blood was dripping down my face, my arms, my dress was soaked in blood. It was getting harder to breathe, harder to keep my eyes open.But I forced myself to watch. I had to.Ryan, no, this wasn’t Ryan. This was something else, something terrifying. His red eyes still burned with fury, his sharp claws glistened under the moonlight, and his presence alone made the air thick with danger. He was unrecognizable, lost in rage, in bloodlust.“Ryan,” Karen called again, stepping back slightly for the second time. “Ryan, stop this!”He didn’t even flinch at her words.His gaze was locked onto them, onto the people who hurt me. He was seething, his breathing heavy and controlled, as if he was holding back the full force of what he was capable of.A man lunged at him, the same man who had beaten Jamie to the ground. But before he could even reach Ryan, Ryan struck. His claws sliced through the man’s t

Ryan’s Pov This cannot be happening. I drove as fast as I could to the hospital, my hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly that my knuckles turned white. My heart pounded in my chest, fear clawing at me like a beast I could not fight. I kept glancing at the back seat where Aurora lay motionless, her face pale, her body too still. "Aurora, stay with me. Please," I whispered, but my voice cracked. She did not move. She did not respond. No, she cannot be gone. She cannot leave me like this. The hospital was too far. Why did it have to be so far? As soon as I reached the entrance, I slammed the car into park and threw the door open. I ran to the back seat, my hands trembling as I gathered her in my arms. She was limp, her body lifeless against mine. I held her close as I rushed inside, my voice echoing through the building. "Someone help her now!" A group of nurses came running with a stretcher. One of them, a woman with worried eyes, looked at me and said, "Put her

Ryan’s PovI didn’t know what to say.The girl stood before me, her presence unfamiliar, her words impossible. My mind refused to process them. Save Aurora? How? She was gone. Dead. No heartbeat. No warmth left in her body. This wasn’t some old legend where mystical healers roamed our lands. We had no healers. Not anymore. Not in this century.We just had a moon goddess, but she isn't a healer.I tightened my grip on Aurora’s lifeless hand, my jaw clenching. “Who are you?” My voice came out sharper than I intended for the second time, filled with frustration and desperation. “And how the hell did you get into my home? I know everyone here, even if I don’t know their names. I’ve never seen you before.”The girl hesitated, shifting on her feet. She looked young, barely more than a child, but there was something in her eyes, something old, something knowing.“Caleb brought me here,” she finally said, her voice small but steady.Caleb?I made a mental note to deal with that later, but rig

Aurora’s Pov Was I dead?I tried moving, forcing my eyes open, but my body screamed in protest. The pain was unbearable, radiating through every inch of me like fire licking at my skin.Nope. Definitely not dead.My eyelids felt heavy, as if they’d been sealed shut for years. It took effort, but finally, I pried them open. The room around me was unfamiliar, blurry at first, and when I tried turning my head for a better look, I realized I couldn’t move much. My muscles felt like they had been filled with lead.Where was I?Panic bubbled up in my chest, but before I could let it consume me, my gaze landed on a familiar figure. Ryan.He stood by the massive window, his back facing me. The window was so large it almost looked like a door, casting long shadows across the dimly lit room. The sight of him should have comforted me, but confusion still clawed at my mind.I tried to call out his name, but my throat was so dry, my voice barely came out. Before I could try again, Ryan turned sud

Aurora’s Pov I was still shocked by what I had heard.Who were they talking about?Curiosity got the best of me. I knew I wasn’t in the best condition to be sneaking around, but I had to know. Slowly, I pushed myself up. My muscles screamed in protest, but I gritted my teeth. The pain was still there, just not as bad as before, thanks to Ryan.One step. Then another. I limped toward the door, moving as quietly as I could. But right when I was about to reach it, my foot caught on something, and before I could react….Thud.I hit the floor. Hard."Ouch," I groaned, wincing. "Well... that didn’t go very well."Before I could even try to get up, the door swung open with a loud bang, and Ryan was standing there, eyes wild with panic."Aurora!" His voice was sharp. "What’s wrong? How did you get here?"I blinked up at him. Uh-oh. I had two options: lie or stay silent. And since lying required brain power I didn’t currently have, I went with the second option.Silence.Ryan narrowed his eye

Aurora’s PovThe journey through Ryan’s mansion felt endless. Every corridor, every towering wall, every flickering candle in its ancient sconces screamed of mystery and power. There was something about this place that made my skin crawl, not in fear, but in awe. The dark, gothic vibe of the mansion reminded me of a novel straight out of a dark romance book. If I weren’t in pain, I might have taken a moment to admire it more.When we finally reached Ryan’s room, my breath hitched. It was grand. No, more than grand. It was breathtaking. Massive windows framed by thick, dark curtains. A king-sized bed that looked softer than a cloud. Chandeliers that cast a dim, golden glow, giving the room an intimate, haunting beauty.Ryan walked in without hesitation and gently laid me down on the bed. His touch was careful, almost too careful, as if I would break at the slightest pressure. He pulled a blanket over me, tucking it around my legs. His gaze softened as he looked at me."Are you okay?" h

The Alpha’s Human Temptation Chapter Hundred-Thirteen
Aurora’s Pov I woke up feeling the soreness in every inch of my body. My arms ached, my legs felt like bricks, and my back protested even as I shifted slightly in bed. Training was brutal. I groaned, pushing myself up as the morning light streamed through the windows. The memories of yesterday's session came flooding back—Jamie knocking me down over and over again, my father barking instructions, Ryan watching me like a hawk. And today, it would all happen again. A soft knock on the door made me turn. "Come in," I called, rubbing my face sleepily. Leila walked in, carrying a tray of food. She smiled. "Good morning, warrior. Brought you breakfast." I sighed. "I don't feel like a warrior. I feel like someone got run over by a truck….twice." She chuckled, setting the tray down. "That’s what training does to you. But hey, at least you’re surviving." I looked at the food, something light, thankfully. I didn’t want to throw up all over the training ground. Taking a few bites, I qui
The Alpha’s Human Temptation Chapter Hundred-Twelve
Aurora’s Pov I fell. Again. And again. And again. I could barely lift myself off the ground, my limbs trembling from exhaustion. Training with Jamie was like trying to fight against a wall, except this wall moved fast and knocked me down every single time. Ryan stood at the edge of the training ground, his hands clenched into fists. He wanted to help me…I could see it in the way his jaw tightened each time I hit the dirt, but Elliot wasn’t having it. “She needs to do this herself,” Elliot said firmly. Ryan exhaled sharply but said nothing. I groaned, rolling onto my back, staring up at the sky. Strong is hard. Jamie stood over me, smirking. “You good, or do you need me to knock you down one more time for good measure?” I gave him the deadliest glare I could manage. Elliot clapped his hands together. “That’s enough for today. Since you just got back, I’ll give you grace this time. But tomorrow, you wake up at 7 AM sharp. Eat if you want to, then head straight to the training
The Alpha’s Human Temptation Chapter Hundred-Eleven
Aurora’s PovAfter we left Nara’s side, the weight of her death still clung to the air around us. It was strange. I hadn’t been particularly close to her, but the loss still settled in my chest like a heavy stone. Two lives lost now.Ryan and I made our way back to the mansion, our footsteps silent, the gravity of the moment pressing down on both of us. As soon as we entered the meeting area, Alex was already talking.“I’ll have to call the elders,” he said. “Nara’s death… it’s difficult to take in.”Ryan gave a firm nod, agreeing without hesitation.There wasn’t much left to say, so we excused ourselves and headed upstairs to our room. When I stepped inside, I noticed our things had already been placed neatly in the space. We were going to be here for a while. Might as well settle in.I went straight to our bags, unpacking my things with methodical precision. I hadn’t thought about it until now, but… Do gadgets even work here?I turned to Ryan. “Hey, does technology work in Shadowhav
The Alpha’s Human Temptation Chapter Hundred-Ten
Karen’s PovIt was almost too easy.Ryan and Aurora had been gone from Shadowhaven for too long, settling into their comfortable little lives in the human world. Ignoring their duties. Ignoring her.That didn’t sit well with me.Not that I felt anything about it, not anger, not jealousy, not resentment. Emotions were pointless. But I knew things were shifting, and shifts had consequences. Ryan belonged in Shadowhaven. Aurora, too. And if they weren’t going to return willingly, I’d make sure they had no choice.Tania had been the one to suggest it bringing in a forgotten sorceress, someone whose magic had long been buried in time. It was a risk, a costly one, but I didn’t care. Sacrifices were necessary. And so, I made mine.Nara had been strong, too strong. But even the strongest could fall. It took patience, power, and something I no longer possessed, care. But in the end, the sickness seeped into her bones, weakening her, pulling her toward death’s door.And just like that, Ryan an
The Alpha’s Human Temptation Chapter Hundred-Nine
Ryan’s PovSomething didn’t sit right with me about this whole situation. I had a bad feeling, a nagging sense of unease that I couldn’t shake. Nara was strong….stronger than most. She had survived more than anyone I knew, outlived people who should have outlived her.We were heading back to Shadowhaven today. Inez wasn’t coming with us. Not yet. She was still adjusting, still learning to control herself. The full moon was coming in a few weeks, and we had to be sure. Until then, Jamie would stay with us, but when the time got closer, he’d return to keep an eye on her.I started packing some of Aurora’s clothes when her voice broke through my thoughts.“Are you sure Nara is going to survive this?”I looked up at her. The worry in her voice was clear.“Of course, she’s going to survive this,” I said, more confident than I felt. “She’s already survived everything thrown her way. She’s older than even the elders.” I glanced at Aurora, knowing she was still wrapping her head around just h
The Alpha’s Human Temptation Chapter Hundred-Eight
Aurora’s povFor the past few days, Ryan and I had fallen into a routine….going to work together, sneaking stolen moments between meetings, and giving in to the overwhelming pull between us whenever we could. Whether in the office or at home, it was as if we couldn’t get enough of each other. And honestly, I didn’t mind.But today was different. Today, we were going to see Inez.I had been counting down the days, torn between anticipation and fear. What if she wasn’t alive? The thought gnawed at me, making it nearly impossible to focus on work.We were supposed to go after work, and while I knew the hours weren’t moving any slower than usual, it sure felt like they were. My mind kept wandering back to her, to the moment we left her behind in that so-called underground cell. It was ironic, really, because the place wasn’t even underground. But that was the least of my worries.Ryan had a meeting in the afternoon and told me to stay back and handle office matters. I agreed, but my heart
The Alpha’s Human Temptation Chapter Hundred-Seven
*IMPORTANT NOTICE:THERE'S BEEN A SLIGHT CHANGE OF POV FOR JUST THIS CHAPTER. ENJOY!*Ryan came closer to Aurora, invading her personal space on her seat, and without a word, their lips met in a fiery kiss. It was a clash of passion, tongues dancing wildly, as if they had been starving for this moment.Aurora's initial resistance melted away under the heat of Ryan's touch. His hands roamed freely, exploring her body through the thin fabric of her dress. She couldn't help but moan into his mouth, her fingers tangling in his hair, pulling him closer. The kiss deepened, becoming more urgent, their hunger for each other growing with each passing second.“We can't, someone might see us,” Aurora suddenly said.“No one will,” Ryan said.With a swift motion, he lifted her from the chair, his strong arms cradling her petite frame. Aurora's eyes widened in surprise, but she didn't resist. Instead, she wrapped her legs around his waist, her hands gripping his shoulders, encouraging him. He carri
The Alpha’s Human Temptation Chapter Hundred-Six
Ryan’s PovIt had been four days since Inez was locked up, and in those four days, Aurora had looked paler than usual. Worry had drained the color from her face, but she was slowly getting better. She was eating more, sleeping well, trying to, and she wasn’t as tense as before. But I could still see it in her eyes: she was anxious, waiting for the time to pass so we could check on Inez.This morning, when I woke up, she was already awake, sitting up in bed with a book in her hands. I had no idea where she got it from, but it didn’t matter. She looked peaceful, at least for the moment."Good morning," I murmured, my voice still thick with sleep.She glanced up, smiling softly. "Hey, little one."Before I could react to that nickname, she leaned in and pressed a quick peck to my lips. Just a soft, fleeting touch.I wanted more.But before I could pull her closer, she was already sitting back, flipping another page in her book like she hadn’t just set me on fire with that tiny kiss."I’
The Alpha’s Human Temptation Chapter Hundred-Five
Aurora’s PovI barely slept last night. Even though Ryan did everything possible to help me relax, my mind wouldn’t stop racing. The uncertainty of today, of what was going to happen to Inez, weighed heavily on me. Would she survive? Would she regret her choice?The moment the first light of dawn peeked through the curtains, I got up, my heart already pounding."I'm going to check on Inez," I said suddenly.Ryan stirred beside me, his eyes still heavy with sleep. "Aurora, she’s not going to change her mind. Her heartbeat was steady all night, she’s made her decision.""I have to try. You don’t know how girls think," I insisted.Ryan sighed, rubbing a hand over his face. "Alright, go ahead."I grabbed my toothbrush and hurried to the bathroom. After brushing my teeth and combing my hair, I took a deep breath and headed to the guest room. I knocked softly.Once. Twice."I'm coming," Inez called from inside.When she opened the door, she looked… calm. Too calm."I just came to see if may
