Ryan’s Pov

Aurora pushed herself up from the bed, her legs unsteady beneath her. She looked weak, too pale, like her body was still catching up with everything it had endured. I instinctively reached for her, but she pulled away sharply.

"Let me be," she muttered.

The rejection stung more than I wanted to admit. I knew she was still angry. I knew she had every reason to be. But damn it, watching her struggle and not being able to hold her, to comfort her, was tearing me apart.

I swallowed my frustration. "I'm sorry," I said quietly.

She didn't respond. She just straightened her back, took a slow breath, and said, "Let's go."

I could feel the tension crackling between us like a storm waiting to break, but I said nothing more. We left the room, Elliot and Caleb following close behind, and descended the stairs.

A woman stood in the center of the grand hall, her back turned to us. Her attire was something I couldn’t even begin to describe, a mixture of flowing fabric and symbols that seem

    Aurora’s PovA madwoman walked in here today and told me I was a witch and a werewolf.Who even talks like that?And now, she wanted me to leave with her? Was this some kind of joke? I stared at her, my mind trying to catch up with the insanity happening before me."You have to come with me," Ziani said, her voice calm, too calm, like she was explaining something as simple as the weather. "You want to know where you come from. You want to know where your mother is from."My heart skipped a beat.I took a shaky breath, narrowing my eyes at her. "Wait… how do you know my mother?"Ziani smirked, tapping a finger against her lips like she was savoring a secret. "Are you really not going to offer me a seat? So we can all sit and talk like reasonable people?" She glanced at the room, then back at me. "Or do I not look reasonable to you?"Ryan’s body tensed beside me. "Stop all this and just get straight to the point." His voice was low, sharp, deadly.But Ziani only laughed. "Nope. I’m not

    Ryan’s PovAurora barely made it to the garden before her steps slowed. Her breathing was uneven, her hands shaking slightly as she ran them through her hair. I knew she was overwhelmed. Who wouldn’t be?But I couldn't leave her alone. Not like this.I stepped closer. “Aurora, we have to take it easy. We don’t have to believe everything she says.”She turned to me, her eyes burning with frustration. “Seriously, Ryan? We have to believe her. How else would she know what happened to me three or four days ago? How does she know about my mother? How does she know about Elliot?” She took a shaky breath. “How does this even happen?”I wasn’t sure what to say. “She must have figured it out somehow.”Aurora let out a dry laugh, shaking her head. “No, Ryan. She didn’t figure anything out. She knows.” Her voice trembled. “I’m a witch and a werewolf.”The words felt heavier in the air.Aurora pressed a hand to her chest. “But that’s not even the worst part. The real issue is that you…” Her voice

    Aurora’s PovI had a plan.I was not just going to go with Ziani. I was not going to blindly follow her into a world I barely understood. But before anything else, before I could even think of my own safety, I needed to save Ryan.Ziani studied me carefully, then nodded. “Since you have made your choice, you must prepare for the journey soon. Now that you have bloomed, everyone will be restless for their leader’s return.” She tilted her head slightly, her expression unreadable. “You have no idea what you have just awakened, do you?”I swallowed but said nothing.Ziani continued, turning to Ryan. “This is where you come in. You need to train her, teach her how to use her werewolf senses properly. It will not take long because the power hidden inside her will accelerate the process. She has more advantage than most, being both werewolf and witch. It is time she learned how to use it.”Ryan’s entire body tensed beside me. I knew he wanted to protest, to argue, but Ziani ignored him.“You

    Aurora’s PovI screamed so loud that my throat burned. My heart pounded against my ribs as I clutched my chest, struggling to process what had just happened. There was a voice, a real, talking voice, inside me.Ryan stepped closer, his expression calm despite my full-blown panic. “Relax,” he said. “It’s already part of you. You have to get used to it.”I shot him a glare. “Get used to it? Something just spoke inside my head, Ryan!”He nodded. “Yeah, because she’s your wolf. Try talking to her. Just think it, and she’ll hear you.”I swallowed hard, glancing at Elliot and Caleb, who were both grinning like I was some kind of amusement show.I narrowed my eyes. “Are you guys mocking me?”Caleb quickly shook his head. “No, no, we’re not mocking you. We’re just… impressed.”I knew they were definitely mocking me, but I ignored them and focused on what Ryan had said.Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes and thought, Hi, Melissa, I’m Aurora.A response came instantly, her voice soft but co

    Aurora’s PovI stared at Lily, my mind reeling. She’s the girl from the business trip.“You….” I pointed at her, my eyes narrowing. “I never knew you were a witch.”Lily smirked, crossing her arms. “And I never knew you were a werewolf. And a witch, too. Such a coincidence.”I shook my head in disbelief. “Unbelievable.”She shrugged. “Anyway, fun time’s over. We have to get started.”Before I could respond, Ryan stepped in. “No. You are not getting started today.” His voice was firm, leaving no room for argument. “Aurora needs rest. She should eat, take a bath, and then sleep. You can start preparing tomorrow morning.”Lily turned to me. “Would you prefer it that way?”I let out a deep breath. “Yeah, I am kind of exhausted. I prefer it that way.”Ryan nodded in approval, then turned to Lily. “One of the maid will take you to the guest room.” He looked back at me, his eyes softening. “Come on, let’s go to our room. The maids will bring your meal there.”I nodded and followed him.As so

    Ryan’s PovAurora was in the training ground again. Day three. And she had learned so much.More than I ever expected.I had watched her push herself past exhaustion, staying up all night with the spellbook Lily gave her, practicing spells relentlessly. One night, she had tried to summon a simple flame to light the room—but instead, she nearly set the entire place on fire. Another time, she brought the wind, the storm, and the rain inside the room. It had taken her forever to stop it, and Lily? She had just stood there, arms crossed, watching with that smug look of hers."This is part of your training," she had said when Aurora begged for help.And now, here she was in the training ground, sweat dripping from her forehead, her stance firm, her fists clenched as she sparred with Jamie. She was getting faster, stronger. More dangerous.Jamie dodged her first few attacks easily, grinning, teasing her. "Come on, Aurora. You can do better than that."She growled in frustration, adjusting h

    Aurora’s povOne more day.Just one more day before Ziani comes to take me.The thought sent chills down my spine. I was better now. I could cast spells, and I knew the ones I needed to fight Jasmine. But what if I had learned everything? What would I be capable of then?I stood alone under the moonlight, whispering spells into the cool night air. My fingers tingled with energy as I practiced, trying different ones over and over again. Lily had left me to train by myself, saying I needed to master things on my own. She was right. I needed this moment alone.Ryan had wanted to stay, but I asked him for space. He was protective, always watching me, always making sure I was okay. But I needed to push myself, to prepare myself for what was coming.Three hours passed, and I was still training, sweat glistening on my skin. I was exhausted but determined.Then, I felt his presence before I even saw him.Ryan’s voice was calm but firm. “Are you okay? You are stressing yourself out too much.”

    Aurora’s PovKnock, knock.The sound was distant at first, blending into my dream. But then it came again, louder this time.I groaned, my body still sore from last night. My eyelids fluttered open, and as soon as I registered the time on the clock, my heart nearly stopped.11 a.m."Shit," I whispered.Panic surged through me as I sat up abruptly. "Ryan, wake up!" I shook him, but he barely stirred. "Ryan, get up! It is finally time!"I guessed the sex we had last night had completely knocked us out. We had slept past time, and now, now, Ziani was here.Ryan let out a deep groan, stretching lazily. "Mmm, what?" His voice was thick with sleep.I was already scrambling for my clothes, pulling on whatever I could find. "It is time, Ryan! Ziani is here!"The knocking came again, more insistent this time.Ryan sighed, rubbing his face. "No need to cover me up. I am already up," he murmured, swinging his legs over the bed.I ignored him as I rushed to smooth down my hair, my heart pounding.
