The Alpha’s Human Temptation Chapter Sixty-Seven
Ryan’s Pov(The past)This was the height of it. How could Rhys stoop so low as to kill our father? We grew up without a mother, and now we were without a father too.The weight of it settled over me like a boulder crushing my chest, but I had no time to grieve. My father’s body was still on the floor, his lifeless eyes staring at nothing, and my hands trembled as I forced myself to turn away.I ordered some of the pack members to take care of the mess Rhys had made. My voice was cold, commanding. I couldn't let anyone see the storm raging inside me.But I needed to see him.I needed to look him in the eye and ask him why.I needed to understand how the brother I grew up with, the twin who shared my blood could do something so unforgivable.Rage burned through my veins, but anger wouldn't solve this. I had to keep my emotions in check.With each step toward Rhys's room, my hands clenched into fists. When I threw open his door, the emptiness inside sent another wave of frustration throu

Ryan’s pov(The past)It had been exactly one month since my father’s death. One month of chaos, of watching my home crumble under the weight of betrayal and war. Shadowhaven was falling apart.Some of our people had fled into the human world, hoping to escape the madness, only to be hunted down by the witches. Others had come to me, seeking protection, their eyes filled with fear, their bodies trembling from the horrors they had witnessed.Rhys was out of control. No longer the brother I had grown up with. No longer the man I once trusted.He was something else entirely.And if I didn’t stop him soon, Shadowhaven would be nothing but ashes.I sat with Asher and Caleb, going over the plan one last time."How are we going to breach him?" Asher asked, his brows furrowed."You guys know I can take him on my own," I told them, my voice calm but firm."We're always with you," Caleb said. "Tell us how the plan goes.""Don’t worry about it," I repeated, but before I could say more, Karen's vo

Aurora’s PovI just stared at Ryan.I didn't even realize how long I'd been doing it until he raised an eyebrow at me."Are you okay?"I blinked. Once. Twice. I was trying to process everything I had just heard. His brother killed their father, then Ryan killed his brother, and now he was cursed? What kind of tragic, twisted family drama was this?"Yes, yes, yes! I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine!" I blurted out, a little too quickly.Ryan's gaze didn’t waver. If anything, the corner of his lips twitched, like he was holding back a smirk."It’s just..." I gestured vaguely, my mind still spinning. "The story is all somehow to me.""Somehow?" he repeated, amused."You know what I mean!" I huffed. "But wait, how did you get rid of all the witches?"Ryan leaned back, stretching his arms behind his head like he wasn’t talking about a literal massacre. "They took off in fear after that.""Just like that?" I narrowed my eyes."Just like that." He shrugged.I exhaled, still trying to wrap my head

Aurora’s PovI heard the whispers.Every word. Every sneer."Weak human.""She doesn't belong here.""The Alpha will get rid of her just like the others."The voices overlapped, echoing louder and louder in my head until it felt like they were pressing against my skull, drowning me. I wanted to shake them off, to scream at them to shut up, but I knew that would only give them more reason to mock me.A sharp voice cut through the haze."Aurora."I blinked, realizing that Mira and Leila were standing in front of me, their faces filled with concern."Aurora," Leila called again, shaking my arm slightly."Yes?" My voice came out shaky, and I hated it."Are you okay?" Leila asked gently.I forced a small, barely-there smile. "I'm fine."No. I wasn’t.How could I be fine when I was standing in the middle of a place that despised me? A place where no one—except maybe Ryan—wanted me? But they didn’t need to know that."You shouldn’t listen to what they’re saying," Mira said firmly.That was e

Ryan’s Pov I knew Aurora was close. Her scent, warm, soft, undeniably hers, lingered in the air before she even stepped inside. I should have stopped talking the moment I sensed her. But I didn’t. And that was my biggest mistake. She heard the worst part. I saw the hurt in her eyes before she ran. I saw the way she looked at me like I had shattered something fragile, something I wasn’t sure I could piece back together. She didn’t wait for me to explain. She didn’t know that I was about to tell Elliot she was mine. That no one…not my uncle, not the pack, not anyone was going to take her away from me. But now? Now, she wouldn’t even look at me. She was fast, faster than I expected, but I didn’t stop. I chased after her, my heart slamming against my ribs as I watched her disappear into my room. And then…click. She locked the door. She fucking locked me out. I exhaled sharply, pressing my palm against the door. I could hear her crying on the other side, and it made something

Karen’s PovI was back in Shadowhaven. Back in the place filled with so many memories, both good and bad, but the bad always outweighs the good.I wanted to go to the mansion to face Ryan. He had not seen me since the incident with Aurora. It was not like I had been hiding. I had just not been myself, knowing I had lost him.I lost Asher. Now Ryan. I guess I was bound to loneliness.As I walked deeper into town, I saw a crowd. Ryan and Aurora were there. He had already brought her to Shadowhaven. That was interesting.I was not sorry for what I did. If I had the chance, I would do it again. I watched them from a corner, careful to stay out of Ryan’s range so he would not sense me. I did not want to talk to him outside, not like this, not in front of everyone. It was already humiliating enough that my bound mate was with another woman. Sharing a bed with her, for all I knew.The thought made my chest ache. I had slept with Ryan a few times, but I had never truly had him. He always held

Aurora’s PovI was left alone in Ryan's room because he had a meeting with Karen, Karen's parents, and Nara. I felt nervous, though I had no idea why.I wonder what they are talking about."Are you still here with us?" Leila asked.I totally forgot I was with them. They had been keeping me company while Ryan went about his business, and I was grateful for that."Yes, of course, I'm here," I told her."What did I say last?" she asked.Uh-oh."Okay, you got me. I wasn't paying attention.""Why?" Mira asked, raising an eyebrow."Is something bothering you?" Leila added.I smiled at their concern. I was really lucky to have made such caring friends."I'm fine," I said, offering them a reassuring smile."Can I ask you guys something?""Sure!!!" they said together, way too excited for a question I hadn't even asked yet."What do you think I should get for Ryan on his birthday? It's in five days," I asked."You're already the best present he could ask for," Leila said, grinning so widely tha

Aurora’s Pov We had a good day, but that didn’t stop my mind from wandering back to Karen. How was she feeling? Had I made the wrong choice? The questions haunted me, lingering like a shadow I couldn’t shake off. But Ryan’s presence beside me was a warm distraction. We spent the entire day together. We ate in the grand dining room, seated at a ridiculously long table that seemed unnecessary for the number of people living here. After our meal, he took me on a tour of the mansion. “Wow, this place is huge,” I marveled, my voice echoing slightly in the vast hallways. “There’s nothing big about it. It’s normal,” Ryan said nonchalantly. I rolled my eyes. “You’re such a killjoy.” I let out a light laugh. Leila and Mira passed by us several times throughout the day, and every time they did, we exchanged secret giggles and knowing glances. Even Ryan seemed to take notice. “What are you three whispering about?” he asked, leading me further through the corridors. I smirked. “I told yo

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

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
The Alpha’s Human Temptation Chapter Hundred-Three
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
