Ryan’s Pov

They kept staring at each other. Aurora, Leila, and Mira.

They were obviously shocked by my question, and that only confirmed what I already knew. They were hiding something.

I couldn’t raise my voice at Aurora, but I could definitely do that to them.

"Do you want to spend a few days in the dungeon?" I asked both of them, my voice cold.

"Ryan, what are you doing?" Aurora’s voice was sharp, defensive. I knew she would come to their rescue.

I ignored her and kept my eyes on the maids. "Will you tell me what you are plotting?" I asked again, this time calmer, but the threat still lingered.

Aurora stared at me, her lips pressed together. That was all the answer I needed. She would not talk.

It was time for me to take action.

"Seems like you two have gotten too comfortable," I said, my patience running out. "You need to be reminded of your place."

Before I could continue, Aurora spoke up.

"You wouldn’t want to know what we were talking about," she blurted out.

I turned my attent

    Aurora’s Pov Waking up the next morning, I felt warmth beside me. Ryan was still asleep, his breathing slow and steady. His face was relaxed, free from the usual sharpness and intensity that always made my heart race.I couldn’t stop myself from staring. He looked so perfect, so peaceful.Then, memories of last night flooded my mind.Heat rushed to my cheeks. My body tingled just thinking about it. He was huge. I had touched him. Tasted him.Where did that confidence come from?I don't know.I bit my lip, my thighs pressing together as an unfamiliar ache settled between them. Just the thought of him made me wet.I shook my head, trying to push the thoughts away. I never planned to do anything last night. It was supposed to be a surprise. But Ryan found out, and things just... happened.I needed a shower.Carefully, I slipped out of bed, not wanting to wake him. My legs felt weak as I walked to the wardrobe. I was relieved to see that the maids had stocked up some clothes for me. I gr

    Aurora’s PovI laid on the bed for a while, my body still tingling from everything that just happened. Ryan was beside me, watching me with a satisfied look on his face. I had never felt so good in my life. I never knew being touched could make me feel like someone.He fucking saw my pussy. BARE!I was so embarrassed to even stand up and look him in the eye. But as much as I wanted to stay there, I had things to do.I tried to sit up. My legs were not working with me. Ryan chuckled beside me, clearly amused.I shot him a glare. "Stop looking at me like that.""Like what?" he asked, still smirking.I ignored him and slowly got out of bed. "I need to wash up," I said, heading toward the bathroom."I'm coming with you," Ryan announced casually.I spun around. "No, you are not coming with me."His smirk deepened. "Why?"I blinked, struggling for an answer. "Nothing… because I need privacy, and all."Ryan raised his hands like he was surrendering. "Fine, go ahead."I rolled my eyes, took m

    Ryan’s PovI couldn’t move.I didn’t know what just happened.I had never calmed down this fast before. Never.My hands were still clenched into fists, my breathing still uneven, but the rage that had consumed me just moments ago was gone. And it wasn’t because I forced myself to control it.It was because of her. Aurora.I lifted my head and looked at her. She was still standing there, her expression filled with something I couldn’t quite understand. Fear? Confusion? Maybe both. Elliot was staring at her, watching closely, as if trying to figure her out."What did you do?" His voice cut through the silence.Aurora took a shaky step back.Elliot’s eyes didn’t leave her. "How did you make him calm down?" His voice was firm. "How did you do it, Aurora?"She looked at me, her eyes searching mine like she wanted me to answer for her. But I didn’t have an answer.I turned to Elliot. "Stop questioning her."Elliot shook his head. "No, we should question her. She might be the one who can sto

    Aurora’s Pov It has been exactly three days.Three days since Nara said what she said about me.Three days since she told Ryan to stay away from me.It seems like everyone else has moved on. Like it never happened. Like it was just another passing moment in a life filled with chaos.But I haven’t forgotten.How could I?She said I know something. But I don’t. I don’t know anything.And yet, there’s this weight in my chest, this fear creeping into my bones. What if she was right? What if there’s something about me I don’t even know?But I push it aside. I have other things to worry about.Ryan’s birthday is tomorrow.Right now, he’s in a meeting with Elliot and the elders, which means I’m left with Mira and Leila. And they are way too excited about something.Mira grins, practically bouncing on her feet. “You can’t wait to see the cake. Oh my god, it’s so fucking big. It’s so nice.”I raise a brow, I've been asking her to show me the damn cake. “Let me see.”“No, no, no.” Mira shakes

    Aurora’s PovIt was finally the day. His birthday.My boyfriend’s birthday.Nah, I’m going to ask him to ask me officially.I grinned at the thought.Ryan was still asleep beside me, his breathing soft, his chest rising and falling steadily. He looked so peaceful like this. So beautiful. I had made sure to wake up before him just to be the first to wish him a happy birthday. And I did.His hair was all over the place, messy and wild, and I couldn’t resist running my fingers through it. Carefully, I reached out and brushed it away from his face, tucking some strands behind his ear.The second my fingers touched him, his eyes fluttered open.Before I could react, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me onto him.“Ryan, stop!” I giggled, trying to push him off.His lips curled into a teasing smirk. “I caught you admiring me in my sleep, huh?”“No, I wasn’t!” I denied quickly. “Your hair was just all over the place.”He raised a brow. “So, I’m not handsome enough for you to admire?”Oh, God.I

    Ryan’s PovI woke up with a splitting headache. This never happens to me.My eyes blinked open, and the first thing I saw was Aurora sitting beside me, watching me closely.“Hey, you’re awake,” she said softly.I sat up, resting my head against the headboard. My body still felt a little heavy, but my mind was quickly clearing.“Yes, I’m awake,” I replied, my voice matching hers in softness.The last thing I remembered was Aurora handing me a glass of wine.She just smiled at me, her expression unreadable.“What happened?” I asked.“You dozed off,” she said casually.I narrowed my eyes. “Aurora, what did you put in the drink?”Her lips twitched. “Sleeping medicine.”And just like that, all the fog in my brain disappeared.I was wide awake.“You drugged me?” I asked, staring at her in disbelief.She inched closer, her expression apologetic but also… mischievous?“I didn’t want you to see that I was planning a dinner night out for us,” she admitted.I sighed, shaking my head. “Little one

    Ryan’s Pov“You’re so beautiful,” I told her again, just because I couldn’t help myself.She smiled. “Thank you.”I pulled her closer, my eyes dropping to her lips.“My lipstick will stain your lips,” she warned.“I don’t mind,” I said, my voice rough. Then, I kissed her softly, careful not to ruin her makeup.She exhaled against me, her body relaxing.“Shall we?” she whispered.I nodded, offering my elbow. She looped her hand around it, and together, we stepped out of the room.The mansion was eerily quiet as we walked. It felt like no one else existed except us.“Did you see Caleb and Elliot today?” I asked, glancing around.They never missed telling me happy birthday.“No, I didn’t see them,” she answered quickly. “Let’s keep going. We’ll be quick.”I nodded. Caleb and Elliot had been by my side for years. This was Aurora’s turn. My focus was on her.As we reached the front doors, Aurora suddenly stopped.“I forgot something upstairs.”I raised an eyebrow. “What is it?”“My purse.”

    Aurora’s povRyan was a tough one to handle. I immediately rushed upstairs. Pulled off my clothes, Mira and Leila were there to help me dress up Quickly. They were so fast that before five minutes, I was already wearing the lingerie.“We made the right decision In picking out this piece,” Mira suddenly said as she looked at me up and down looking like a proud mother.“We definitely did,” Leila said.“Thank you guys for your help, I promise to repay you guys,” I told them.“You don’t have to do anything, just make us proud tonight,” Leila said.“Thank you,” I said once more.“You guys have to leave now, Ryan will be here soon, I know him,” I added.“Okay okay,” they both said.They gave me a hug before leaving. Although Mira gave me a wink.I was so embarrassed that they knew what I was about to do. So embarrassed.Now it's time to wait for him.I stood in front of the full length mirror, my heart racing as I adjusted the delicate straps of the black net lingerie. It was a bold choice.

    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

    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

    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

    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’

    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
