Ryan’s Pov
As soon as I walked in and saw Craig forcing himself on Aurora, I completely lost my temper. How dare he? Who did he think he was?
For a moment, I almost revealed my true nature. My instincts were clawing their way to the surface, but years of practice kept me in control. Barely. However, I knew Aurora saw something, her wide eyes told me she noticed the glow in mine. But I masked it quickly.
When she touched me while I was teaching Craig a lesson, her small hand trembling against my arm, I felt something shift inside me. The rage simmered, not entirely gone, but contained. Her touch grounded me in a way nothing else ever had.
Still, I had to make it clear to everyone. Aurora was mine. No one else could even think about her. I made sure they all heard me, loud and clear.
