The Alpha’s Human Temptation Chapter Twenty-Six
Ryan's POV I don’t know how to say this, even to myself, but… thank you, Greg. Of all the ways this night could’ve gone, you showing up was oddly perfect. Sure, the guy’s a nuisance, but at least he gave me the excuse to keep Aurora close. When I dragged Greg out of the restaurant, I didn’t care about the stares or whispers. All that mattered was making sure he understood one thing, he wasn’t to lay a finger on her ever again. Once we were outside, I let the mask drop just enough. My wolf side flared, my eyes narrowing, a low growl escaping my lips. Greg’s face turned pale, and he stumbled back like the fool he is. Before bolting like a scared rabbit, he promised not to touch Aurora again. I made sure my warning stuck. With him gone, I headed back inside. Aurora was still trembling, her face pale as she tried to gather herself. I kept my voice steady. “Let’s go. We need to grab your things.” I hated stepping foot into her rundown apartment again. The place reeked of memories that

Aurora’s POVThe movie was more entertaining than I expected. I wasn’t surprised when Ryan seemed uncomfortable, gripping the armrest of the couch as if it were his lifeline. I couldn’t quite figure out why, though. Was it because of the first scene? That fleeting kiss at the beginning couldn’t have been that big of a deal, right?Still, I chose to ignore his tension and focused on the movie. It was easy to get lost in the romantic storyline, the kind I had always dreamed about as a child but never thought I’d experience myself.At some point, I must have fallen asleep.When I woke up, the sunlight was filtering through the window, and I was tucked beneath the soft covers of a bed. Wait, what? How did I get here?I sat up, rubbing my eyes. The last thing I remembered was being on the couch. Did Ryan carry me here? The thought sent a flurry of emotions through me, but I shook them off. There was no point dwelling on it. He probably didn’t want to leave me in an uncomfortable position,

Ryan’s POVThe second Aurora’s hand accidentally brushed against me, my whole body tensed. She had no idea what she’d done, what she’d awakened in me. The warmth of her touch lingered like a spark, igniting something deep inside me. I wanted her. Not just to hold or kiss her, but to claim her, to mark her as mine in every way possible.But I knew I had to wait. Patience wasn’t my strong suit, especially not with her so close, her scent teasing me, her soft blush making me want to devour her. She didn’t know it yet, but soon enough, she would be mine. Completely.I held her hand through the rest of the flight, not caring if it was too much or too obvious. I didn’t let go, even when we ate. Her small hand in mine felt so natural, as if it had always belonged there. She didn’t pull away, and I could tell she felt safe. That thought made my chest tighten in the best way.The flight wasn’t long, just two hours. When we landed, I guided her to the door of the jet. I couldn’t stop looking at

Ryan’s POVThe elevator doors opened with a soft chime, and we stepped into the hallway leading to the suite. Aurora walked beside me, her steps light and her presence radiant. She looked so small, so fragile. Yet somehow, she carried a quiet strength that both drew me in and tore me apart.When we reached the door, I slid the key card through the lock and pushed the door open, gesturing for her to enter first. “After you,” I said softly.She gave me a polite smile. “Thank you,” she murmured before stepping inside.I followed, closing the door behind us, and turned to watch her. Her eyes widened as she took in the room, a spacious suite with a luxurious bed, plush furniture, and a view that overlooked the glittering city below.For a moment, she seemed to forget everything else. But then, like a switch had flipped, I saw her body stiffen. Her shoulders tensed, and she clasped her hands in front of her nervously.“Are you okay?” I asked, taking a step closer to her.She nodded quickly,

Aurora’s POVI stayed in the corner of the suite, doing my best to seem unaffected as Ryan walked out of the bathroom. But how could I not notice him? His chest was bare, droplets of water running down his toned body. He didn’t even try to cover himself. Shameless. And yet, I couldn’t deny how flattered I felt.I wasn’t sure what was happening inside me. It was too early to put a name to these feelings, but one thing was clear—I was attracted to him. Just attraction, though. Nothing more.As he began dressing, I kept my head down, my face heating up like a furnace. I didn’t dare look up. I didn’t need to. The image of him was already burned into my mind. My cheeks must’ve looked like a tomato, but I couldn’t help it.His phone suddenly rang, the sound jolting me out of my thoughts. It was on the table right beside me. Without thinking, I reached for it. Before I could even glance at the screen, Ryan’s voice cut through the air.“Who is it?” he asked, his tone sharp and immediate.I pa

Ryan’s POVAs soon as Karen hung up, I felt a wave of relief wash over me. That call had been short. She asked me Where I was, and I told her I was on a business trip. I guess that was the only thing she wanted to know.Aurora and I had just finished eating when she decided to hit me with a question I wasn’t expecting.“Where are you from?” she asked, her voice soft but curious.I blinked at her for a moment, trying to decide how to respond. “Shadowhaven,” I said simply, keeping my tone neutral.She tilted her head slightly, clearly intrigued. “Where is Shadowhaven? Where’s it located?”“It’s… somewhere very far away,” I replied, keeping my answer vague.Her lips formed a small “oh,” and she nodded like she was satisfied, but I could tell she wanted to ask more. I wasn’t about to give her any more details, though. It’s not like she’d figure it out, but I didn’t want to open that door.After a moment of silence, she looked at me again and said, “We should go to bed early. We have a big

I stepped into the room, my eyes still fixed on Aurora. Something was off, and I couldn’t just ignore it. She wouldn’t talk, wouldn’t even meet my gaze.I took her hand gently, trying to get her attention. “Aurora, what’s wrong?” I asked, my voice low, soft, trying not to push too hard.Her cheeks turned pink again, and she looked down quickly. It was like blushing was her default reaction, especially around me. Not that I didn’t know how I affected people. Aurora especially.She slipped her hand out of mine and turned her back to me. That was when I noticed her dress. It was a simple brown gown, but it fit her perfectly, hugging her curves in all the right places. For a moment, I just stood there, admiring her, but then my eyes caught something that made my throat go dry.Her zipper was undone, and I could see her inner wear, a soft brown color that matched her dress.I swallowed hard, trying to keep my thoughts in check. What was she trying to do to me?She turned her head slightly,

Aurora’s Pov The meeting ended, and Ryan told me he had to talk to Clyde about something. I stayed back, waiting for him. While sitting there, I caught myself smiling. I couldn’t believe I had spoken during the meeting today. It felt like a big step for me. I was proud of myself. I was lost in my thoughts when someone suddenly interrupted me. I flinched slightly, startled. It was one of the men from the board meeting. “Hi, I’m Craig,” he said with a smile that didn’t feel genuine. There was something off about it, something that made me uneasy. “Hello,” I replied, keeping my tone polite but guarded. “I couldn’t help but notice you during the meeting,” he said. “You were amazing.” “Thank you,” I said, trying to brush it off. Maybe I was overthinking it. He seemed nice enough. He glanced around, as if looking for someone. “Where’s your boss, Ryan?” “He had something to take care of,” I said, watching his expression shift to a wide grin that felt unsettling. “Hmm,” he said, as

Aurora’s Pov I wanted to die of secondhand embarrassment. Alphas were supposed to be dignified, strong, and composed. Ryan? Ryan was screaming like a lunatic, making a scene in front of the entire hospital. The pain hit me harder, and I let out a sharp breath. Immediately, nurses rushed over with a hospital bed. Ryan ran beside me, putting on hospital gloves like he was about to deliver the baby. “I’m here for you, Aurora,” he said, his voice shaking. “I’m here.” The doctor arrived, a middle-aged man with a calm demeanor. “How are you feeling?” I barely had the energy to glare at him. “Like I want to poop.” Ryan’s eyes widened in horror. “WHAT?!” The doctor chuckled. “That means the baby is coming. Alright, Aurora, I’m going to need you to push.” I nodded, gripping Ryan’s hand as the nurses positioned me. “Keep your legs straight,” the doctor instructed. Ryan’s eyes darkened. “Why are you looking at my wife like that?” The doctor looked confused. “Because I’m delivering h

Ryan’s Pov(Three Years Later)I was just pouring Aurora a glass of juice, minding my own business, when suddenly….“RYAN!”The glass slipped from my hand, shattering against the counter. I spun around so fast I nearly dislocated something. My heart lurched into my throat as I bolted into the living room.“What happened? What happened? Are you okay? Who do I need to kill?”Aurora was standing there, eyes wide, hands gripping her stomach. Then she looked up at me and said the words that completely short-circuited my brain.“My water just broke.”I blinked. “What does that mean?”She gave me a look. “Ryan.”“What water? Did you spill something? Are you thirsty?” I was already turning back toward the kitchen, my brain refusing to process.She groaned and pointed at her belly. “THE BABY IS COMING.”My entire soul left my body.“The baby is coming?!” My voice hit a pitch I didn’t know I was capable of. “Like RIGHT NOW?!”Aurora, the love of my life, the mother of my unborn child, had the au

Aurora’s PovZiani’s eyes darkened as she stepped forward. “What do you mean you are not going with me?” Her voice was laced with disbelief. “We had a deal, Aurora.”I met her gaze without flinching. “Yes, I know we had a deal. But before we continue, I want to ask everyone in this room a question.”A murmur rippled through the council as they exchanged glances.“Go ahead,” one of the elders finally said.I turned, my eyes sweeping across every single person in the room. My voice was steady, unwavering.“Who is the moon goddess now?”Silence hung for a moment before, in unison, the room responded.“You are.”I shifted my gaze to Ziani. “And who is the leader now?”Her jaw tightened, but she didn’t hesitate. “You are.”A slow smile formed on my lips. “Then I make the rules.”The moment those words left my mouth, the room erupted into chaos.“I might not know everything about the Moon Goddess yet,” I continued over their voices, “but I will learn it in no time. And as long as I am in th

Aurora’s PovSilence swallowed the battlefield as Karen’s body went still. Her last words echoed in my mind, haunting and heavy. I had thought I was ready for this, that I was prepared to do whatever it took to protect what was mine, but as I stared at her lifeless form, all I felt was a deep, aching sorrow.This was never how I wanted it to be.The weight of everything crashed down on me all at once. My limbs trembled, and suddenly, the pain that had been numbed by adrenaline surged back, searing through my body like fire. My legs gave out.I barely registered the panicked voices around me before I hit the ground.Elliot, Caleb, and Ryan rushed toward me, their faces etched with worry.“I’m fine,” I muttered, though the pounding in my head and the sharp sting in my wounds said otherwise. “I’m just… just hot a little.”Ryan crouched beside me, his jaw clenched. “Hot a little? You’re burning up,” he snapped. His hands hovered over me as if he was afraid to touch me, afraid that I might

Karen’s PovThe battleground was silent for a moment, thick with tension. The crowd gathered, eyes locked on us, their whispers barely audible over the howling wind. I rolled my shoulders, cracking my knuckles, and took slow steps forward, never breaking eye contact with Aurora.She stood across from me, her body battered, her clothes stained with blood and dirt. Weakness radiated from her, yet she still held her chin high, defiance burning in her eyes.Pathetic."You should have stayed down when you had the chance," I sneered, my claws extending, itching to sink into her flesh. "This is your last warning, Aurora. Step aside and let me have what’s mine."She wiped blood from the corner of her mouth and spat onto the dirt. "Ryan was never yours, Karen. And he never will be."That was all I needed.With a growl, I lunged at her, my claws swiping toward her throat. She barely dodged, rolling to the side before springing to her feet.The fight had begun.The moment our bodies collided aga

Karen’s PovI have been watching. Waiting.Every day, I moved unseen through the corridors of this mansion, listening, observing. I watched them whisper about her, pray for her, cry for her. Aurora. Aurora. Aurora.Her name was on everyone’s lips, like she was some kind of savior.It was pathetic.She had actually left to break the curse, to throw herself into the jaws of death, and for what? Love? How foolish.I had given Ryan everything. My love, my loyalty, my soul. And still, he had chosen her. But I told myself it wasn’t over. I told myself I had time. That if I played my cards right, I could get him back.Then today happened.The mansion was alive with excitement. People were gathering. And when I saw what they were looking at, who they were looking at, my blood boiled.Aurora was back.She had survived.And I knew, at that moment, that if I didn’t act now, I would lose everything forever.So, I stepped into the mansion.Nobody stopped me. They all still saw me as the ex-Luna. R

Ryan’s PovI sat alone in my room, staring at the empty space before me. It had been a month and a week since she left. Since Aurora walked into that cursed place. Since she vanished from my life.Every day without her felt like a slow death.I had no reason to live anymore.I had fought, waited, hoped, prayed. But she was not back.And now… I was starting to fear the worst.Ziani had come to Shadow Heaven today, her face grim, her words laced with worry."It's taking longer than expected," she had said. "Maybe… maybe she made the wrong choice by going in."The words sliced through me like a dagger.Was this how I was going to lose her?No.No.I clenched my fists so tightly my nails dug into my skin. Aurora was strong. She had fought battles before. She had survived the impossible.She was going to come back to me.She must come back to me.Then, suddenly, I heard it.Noise. Screaming. Voices rising in panic.My body tensed. My wolf growled. Something was happening.I shot to my feet

Aurora’s PovMy eyelids felt heavy, my body weak, but my mind was sharp. The moment my eyes fluttered open, I saw them.Jazmine and Rhys.They were dragging me, their hands gripping my arms as if I were nothing more than a discarded rag doll. They thought I was still unconscious. They really thought I was still asleep.Their voices were hushed, but I could hear them."She must be out of her mind for coming here," Jazmine muttered."It’s because of love," Rhys replied. "You can do anything for love."Jazmine scoffed. "Now love is going to kill her."I clenched my teeth. No, I thought. Love can never kill me. I will fight for love. And I will win.I reached for Melissa, my wolf, my other half."Melissa," I called out in my mind. "We have to fight."Her response was weak, strained. "We’re tired, Aurora…""No," I said, firm and unwavering. "We are not tired. We have to fight. We have to win this battle. Or don’t you want to go back to Draven?"Silence. Then, a whisper of longing. "I miss

Aurora’s PovMy eyes fluttered open, but the world around me was nothing but darkness. My body ached, my head was pounding, and for a moment, I couldn’t remember where I was or how I got here. Then it all started coming back.I had walked into the portal. I had felt the pull of another world, dragging me into the unknown. Days ago. Or weeks. I couldn't tell. Time didn’t exist in this place. The only thing that remained was the memory of that voice calling my name."Aurora."And then the impact. A sudden, sharp blow that sent me spiraling into unconsciousness.Now I was here. Chained. Weak. Trapped.I tried to move, but the cold bite of iron dug into my wrists and ankles. The chains rattled, heavy and unbreakable. My breathing was uneven as I struggled against them, but it was no use. The air smelled of damp stone and something unnatural, something suffocating. I wasn't alone.The door creaked open, and footsteps echoed against the stone floor. A woman stepped into the dim light, her e
