The Alpha’s Human Temptation Chapter Forty-Seven
Aurora's POVThe moment I walked into the office that morning, my eyes betrayed me. They sought him out, as if they had a mind of their own, and I hated it. I hated how easily I craved the sight of him. And when I saw him standing there, his usual confident posture, his sharp gaze scanning the room, I felt my heart stutter.Ryan.I tried to compose myself, to shove all those feelings down. I wanted to look past him, to pretend he wasn’t the reason my stomach felt like it was in knots. He didn’t deserve to know how much he still affected me. I told myself that today, everything would be strictly professional. No smiles. No stolen glances. Just work.But it was hard. Too hard.Even as I sat at my desk, pretending to focus on the endless pile of paperwork, my thoughts kept drifting back to him. The way he’d said “little one” last night on the phone, the warmth in his voice that made me feel… seen.I shook my head. No. I wasn’t going to let him get to me. Not again.But my resolve faltere

Ryan's Pov When Aurora left my office earlier, I couldn’t take it anymore. She deserved to know the truth, the truth about who I was, what I was. She was blaming herself, feeling things she thought were wrong, and I couldn’t let her carry that weight. She needed to understand. So I went to her. Standing outside her door, I tried to gather my thoughts. This wasn’t going to be easy, but it was necessary. I knocked, and when she opened the door, seeing her standing there in just a towel nearly threw all my plans out the window. But I pushed past the distraction, walked inside, and closed the door behind me. “Ryan, you can’t be here,” she said immediately, her voice sharp but unsteady. “We shouldn’t be seen alone. You need to leave.” Her words stung, but I kept my focus. “Aurora, I need to talk to you,” I said, trying to keep my tone calm. “I need you to listen to me, just for a minute.” I dragged her to the couch and sat her down. She crossed her arms, her body tense. “No. There

Aurora’s POVWhat does he mean by he’s not going to hurt me? God, I swear I’m about to faint. My heart is racing so fast it feels like it’s going to burst out of my chest. I don’t even know if I’m breathing properly anymore. And the fear… Oh my God, the fear. I might actually pee my oranges.I’m sitting at the farthest edge of the couch, as far away from him as I can possibly be. But it doesn’t feel far enough. I can still feel his presence, heavy and suffocating. My legs are trembling, and I’m not sure if it’s from the fear or the absolute confusion of everything he just said.I keep stealing glances at him, but every time my eyes meet his, I look away just as fast. What the fuck did I just hear? He’s not human. He’s a werewolf. A werewolf. My brain keeps repeating that word like it’s trying to make sense of it, but it can’t. It won’t.And Karen… Karen is a werewolf too? His fiancée. A werewolf fiancée. A woman who could snap my neck like a twig if she wanted to. No, not snap. End. S

Ryan's Pov After leaving Aurora’s apartment, I leaned against the wall outside her door, inhaling deeply as if the air could calm the storm raging in my mind. Draven, my wolf, stirred within me, his voice clear and firm. "We did it. We told her who we are, who we truly are." I ran a hand through my hair, exhaling sharply. “Yeah, and scared the shit out of her in the process. She probably won’t even want to see me again.” "You practically told her she had no choice but to come to Shadowhaven with us. That’s not how to do it, Ryan," Draven said, his tone disapproving. "She’ll come to you. Just give her time." I ignored him. Draven didn’t understand how hard this was. I had waited for so long, for years wondering if I’d ever find her, and now that I had, the thought of losing her was unbearable. Jamie was already waiting for me when I stepped out of the building. I slid into the back seat of the car, silent as he pulled away from Aurora’s apartment. My thoughts refused to quiet down

Aurora’s Pov When I heard the knocking, my heart jumped into my throat. My palms were sweaty as I tightened my grip around the baseball bat I had bought earlier that day. It felt silly, holding a piece of wood as a weapon against someone like Ryan, but it was better than feeling helpless. I didn’t want to see him, but here he was. He knocked again, calling my name, his voice steady yet firm. “Aurora, I know you’re in there. Open the door.” My heart raced as I stood near the door, willing my breathing to quiet down. Maybe if I stayed silent, he’d leave. But then, his voice became more commanding, “Open the door, or I’ll break it down.” Panic set in. I pressed myself against the wall, clutching the bat tighter. He wouldn’t actually break the door, would he? The sound of the lock snapping answered my question. My knees almost gave out as the door swung open, and there he stood. Ryan, in all his infuriating, terrifying, breathtaking presence. When his eyes landed on the baseball bat

Aurora’s PovI just stared at him, completely stunned. Did he just say I should move in with him? Was he serious?I didn’t know when a laugh escaped my lips, it was loud, unexpected, and probably a little rude. But I couldn’t help it.Ryan’s brows furrowed as he looked at me, clearly confused. He tilted his head like he was trying to figure out what was so funny.“What did you just say, Ryan?” I asked, still laughing softly, hoping I’d heard him wrong.“Move in with me, Aurora,” he repeated, his voice steady, but I couldn’t tell if it was a request or a command.He didn’t do well with showing emotions, it was always this guarded, unreadable expression. I could never tell what he was truly feeling.“I’m sorry, Ryan. I can’t move in with you,” I said, shaking my head.I wasn’t ready for that. I was still scared of him, though not as much as before, but that didn’t mean my guard was down.And also regardless of anything, Karen was in his life.His eyes darkened slightly as he leaned back

Aurora’s PovWe stayed like that for a while, me lying on his chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. It was oddly soothing, and I almost fell asleep.But then I stirred, lifting my head to look at him. His eyes met mine, soft and full of something I couldn’t quite name. Before I could say anything, he leaned in and kissed my forehead gently.Then, without warning, he scooped me up in his arms, carrying me as if I weighed nothing.“What are you doing, Ryan?” I asked softly, instinctively wrapping my arms around his neck to steady myself.“I’m carrying you to the bedroom,” he replied, his voice calm and confident.“Why?” I asked, narrowing my eyes slightly.“So you can sleep,” he said, then smirked. “Or… do you want us to do something else? I’m down for it.”My cheeks burned at his words, and I quickly looked away.“Stop it,” I muttered, covering my face with one hand.He chuckled quietly, the sound deep and warm, before he carried me into the bedroom. He placed me gent

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

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

*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

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

Ryan’s PovI kept my gaze steady on Inez. "There are consequences."Aurora stepped forward, desperation in her voice as she turned to Inez. "You can stay with me. Just leave him, please. Get away from Peter, and we’ll figure something out together." She turned to me. "Ryan, you can find her a job in the company, right?"I nodded. "Yes. I can get you a job. You don’t have to do this, Inez. There are other ways, like being are werewolf."Aurora shot me a glare. "Ryan, stop. Don’t try to convince her."She turned back to Inez, grabbing her hands. "Inez, listen to me. I know he hurt you. I know you want revenge. But please, just… forgive him. Don’t let him ruin you too. Don’t let him be the reason you change into something you're not."Inez yanked her hands away. "I want revenge, Aurora. And I’m going to get it. I want to be the one to do it. I want to be strong enough to make him pay."Aurora shook her head, pleading. "Ryan’s men will capture him for you. You can still get your revenge w

Ryan’s PovThe moment I opened the door, something about her felt familiar.She was a stranger in my mind until Aurora rushed forward and hugged her so tightly that it nearly knocked the girl off balance.That’s when it hit me. Inez.Aurora's friend.I said nothing, deciding to give them some space. I wasn’t particularly interested in their reunion. That was until she turned to me and spoke.“I came here for you,” Inez said, her tone sharp. “Although I came to see Aurora, my friend…I mostly came here for you, Ryan.”Aurora’s brows furrowed. “You… came here for Ryan?”“Yes.”I straightened slightly, studying her. “What is it?”Inez exhaled, her fingers curling slightly before she finally said it.“I need you to give me the werewolf bite.”I froze.Aurora tensed beside her, eyes wide with confusion. “You… what?”“I want to be one,” Inez repeated, her gaze never wavering. “Turn me into a werewolf.”The words sent a sharp silence through the room.My mind raced, processing what she had ju
