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 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

Ryan’s PovI had to sort something out, but the whole time, my mind was on Aurora. I hated that she was by herself without me, and that thought alone unsettled me.Not to sound obsessed, but I wanted to be by her side every minute of the day.Unfortunately, there was a rogue caught causing trouble in town, and I couldn't ignore it. Handling things like this was my responsibility, but I had more important places to be. Like in bed with Aurora.“This is the second time I’m warning you. I told you to stay far away from Shadowhaven, but you don’t seem to listen.”The nameless rogue started pleading like they always did. They never learned their lesson.“I’m sorry, Alpha. Spare me one last time, I swear I’ll never come here again.”I didn’t have the patience for this. Their excuses meant nothing to me. They became rogues for a reason. They were the bad eggs.“Take him to the dungeon and do not feed him until he starves to death.”“Yes, Alpha,” Jamie said immediately as he grabbed the rogue

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

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
