The Alpha’s Human Temptation Chapter Fourteen
Ryan’s Pov I leaned back in my chair, staring at the door as it closed behind her. The soft sound of her retreating footsteps echoed faintly in my ears, but her presence lingered, like a scent that refused to fade. Draven stirred restlessly in my mind, his voice low and insistent. “She’s different. You feel it too.” I clenched my jaw, shutting my eyes. Her scent had been overwhelming, soft, delicate, and yet, it tugged at something primal inside me. I couldn’t ignore the way her shy glances had sent an inexplicable warmth through me. It wasn’t like me to be affected, especially not by someone as... fragile as Aurora. “She’s human,” I reminded him silently, hoping to silence the wolf. “So what?” Draven snapped back. “She belongs to us. You know it as much as I do.” The thought unsettled me. If she was meant to be mine, she would feel it too. But Aurora’s demeanor was all wrong…she was nervous, scared even. No recognition, no pull. Just... silence. I ran a hand through my hair, l

Aurora’s Pov When he told me to leave, I didn’t understand. His voice was firm, almost cold, and the word cut through me like a blade. “Yes, sir,” I managed to say before turning on my heel and walking out of his office. The moment the door closed behind me, my heart started racing. My chest tightened, and my thoughts spiraled. What did I do wrong? I wondered, over and over again. I replayed our conversation in my head, trying to pinpoint my mistake, but nothing stood out. Tears welled up in my eyes, and I blinked furiously, trying to hold them back as I walked toward my office. I couldn’t break down here, not where people could see me. But the moment I stepped inside and shut the door, the tears fell freely. I leaned against the door, clutching my chest as I sobbed quietly. Why? Why did he ask me to leave? Did I offend him? Say something I shouldn’t have? The thoughts wouldn’t stop coming, each one more damning than the last. Maybe I’m not good enough for this job. The idea clun

Ryan’s Pov The drive back home was quiet, but my thoughts were anything but. Dropping Aurora off had left a strange ache in my chest, one I couldn’t shake even as the city lights blurred past. There was something about her, the way she carried herself despite her evident struggles, her resolve to work hard, her vulnerability…it was unsettling in a way I couldn’t quite define. I arrived at Shadowhaven in no time. When I arrived home, Micah and his wife, Uncle Elliot, were present and were waiting for me in the living room. Their warm smiles were a welcome sight after a long day. Micah’s laughter filled the air as he pulled me into a tight embrace. “Ryan, it’s been too long!” he said, his voice filled with genuine affection. “Too long indeed,” I replied, the corners of my lips twitching into a small smile. We caught up briefly in the living room before I excused myself to shower because it was indeed a long day. The hot water was a relief, washing away the tension that clung to me

Aurora’s Pov I didn’t know when sleep took me, my thoughts tangled in a web of worry and resolve. When my eyes finally fluttered open, the sun was already streaming through the window. My heart sank as I glanced at the clock….7:45 a.m. I was supposed to be in the office by 8:00 a.m. Panic surged through me. My second day of work, and I was already leaving a bad impression. Scrambling out of bed, I dressed in record time, barely checking the mirror before rushing out of the door. My stomach churned as I imagined what Ryan would say. He’d probably think I was irresponsible and careless. I left my house in a haste, got into a cab and almost made him kill us by pressuring him to drive faster. By the time I arrived at the office, everyone was already settled. My heels clicked against the floor as I rushed to greet Sophia, who gave me a pointed look. “Why are you late?” she asked, her tone less curious and more accusatory. “I—I didn’t know when I slept off,” I stammered, feeling the

Aurora’s Pov I stood before Ryan's desk, my mind racing to process his unexpected announcement about the upcoming trip. The thought of traveling out of town so soon was overwhelming; I had envisioned settling into my new life here, eventually bringing my mother over to start afresh together. But now, plans were shifting rapidly. It's just for the weekend, nothing is going to change, Aurora, I scolded myself quietly. Just as I was about to respond, a knock interrupted us. Pamela entered, her expression professional yet subtly strained. “Sir," she began, "the CEO of Titan Enterprises has arrived unexpectedly. He's waiting for you in the boardroom." Ryan nodded, acknowledging the information. As Pamela turned to leave, her gaze briefly met mine, a flicker of something unreadable passing over her features before she exited. "Aurora," Ryan said, drawing my attention back to him, "I want you to join me in this meeting. As my personal assistant, it's important for you to observe how the

Ryan’s Pov After the call from my uncle Elliot, my blood had boiled. Shadowheaven was meant to be secure…a sanctuary where even whispers of betrayal were silenced. Yet, Elliot reported that Micha and Olivia had been caught trying to breach our borders. No one was holding them hostage, but the thought of them trying to leave in secret didn’t sit well with me. I had left the office immediately, but the issue resolved itself quicker than anticipated. By the time I arrived, they had already been caught and neutralized. Still, the incident left a sour taste in my mouth. I and Micha were friends but not too close, just the thought of what he did created a little bit of ache in my heart, but I'm not allowed to show it. With the matter handled, I couldn’t stop myself from thinking of Aurora. I had promised I’d get back to her, and something about the way she looked at me earlier had me restless. When I arrived at her apartment unannounced, I wasn’t prepared for the sight that greeted me

Ryan's Pov The dress clung to her curves in ways that made my throat tighten. Her bare legs were on display, and the fabric barely covered her, teasing just enough to drive a man insane. My wolf growled, his possessiveness flaring. I swallowed hard, forcing my voice to stay even. “No,” I said, shaking my head. “This doesn’t suit you.” Her brows furrowed. “What? But…” “You should get something better,” I interrupted, my tone firmer than I intended. She hesitated, clearly unsure whether to argue or not. Finally, she sighed and turned back toward the dressing room. That’s when I saw it, faint but unmistakable, marks on the back of her thigh, just under the hem of the dress. My blood ran cold. “Wait,” I said, my voice low and dangerous. Aurora froze, turning slightly to look at me. “Who did this to you?” I asked, my tone sharp. Her eyes widened, and she shook her head. “It’s nothing” “Don’t lie to me,” I growled, stepping closer. “Who did this to you, Aurora?” Her lips tremble

Aurora’s Pov I lay on the bed, staring up at the ceiling, my mind swirling with unanswered questions. The nausea that had been threatening to overwhelm me all day hadn’t fully subsided, but that wasn’t what kept me awake. It was the thought of Ryan, sitting just a few feet away, his piercing gaze watching over me. “Can I ask you something?” I finally blurted out, breaking the silence that hung heavily between us. Ryan’s voice was calm as he responded, “Of course.” “Were you born rich?” The question tumbled out before I could second-guess myself. Ryan leaned back slightly, a faint smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. “Yes, I was born into wealth.” I nodded slowly, unsure what I expected him to say. “I’ve always dreamt of having my own company one day,” I admitted, the words spilling out in a quiet confession. “But… that’s by the way.” Ryan smiles, and I caught the amusement in his expression. “What’s funny?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at him. “Nothing,” he said, t

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.”

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 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

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 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

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 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 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
The Alpha’s Human Temptation Chapter Hundred-Seventeen
Ryan’s PovIt had been exactly four days.Four agonizing days since Aurora collapsed.She wasn’t dead. That was the only relief I had. Her chest rose and fell with each slow breath, her heartbeat steady beneath my palm every time I checked. But no matter how many times I called her name, no matter how much I begged, she wouldn’t wake up.Desperate, I had sought Selene’s help. But even the Selene had only given me a cryptic response."She is alive. She is unharmed. But she will wake when she chooses to."That was it. That was all she said before disappearing, leaving me with nothing but frustration and helplessness.So I stayed.I never left her side, not even for a second unless absolutely necessary. The only times I stepped away were for quick showers or unavoidable meetings with the Elders. But even then, I rushed back. I ate beside her. I slept beside her. And when Leila and Mira cleaned her up, I refused to leave the room, watching over her like a hawk.I was the Alpha. Feared by
