Teya’s Pov

As the class wrapped up, I realized something pretty remarkable: my head actually felt clear for once. Usually, I’d find myself dragging my bag along the floor with a heavy sigh, feeling like a total ghost just shuffling my way through the hallways.

But today? Totally different vibe! I strolled alongside Lucien, and honestly, I was really tuned in when he was chatting away. For a change, he didn’t seem to be holding back or keeping that usual distance between us, which felt refreshing.

At first, our conversation was a bit quiet and subdued. We just walked side by side, moving toward the next hallway, and it felt like we were trapped in this bubble where everything that was usually unsaid between us was suddenly dialed up a notch. It wasn’t awkward, though; it was more like a comforting hum in the background, just part of the whole vibe.

We came to a stop by the vending machine that sat in the bustling commons area, where the chatter and laughter of other students created a

  • The Human mate: Marked for vengeance.    Chapter 80

    TEYA’S POVThe mirror didn’t lie. It reflected back someone I barely recognized.The tight black dress clung to my body like sin incarnate, hugging my curves in all the places men noticed and women whispered about. My legs, long and bare, peeked out beneath the hem, smooth and deliberate. I usually hid them beneath the uniform, behind protocol and propriety. But tonight? Tonight, I wanted him to look. I wanted him distracted. I needed him to be vulnerable.I slid the silver anklet around my left ankle, the tiny charm catching the light like a wink from the devil. Every detail mattered. Every inch of me was a weapon, polished and poised. I wasn’t going in there as the broken girl with bruises and ghosts. I was going in as fire cloaked in silk.From the drawer, I pulled out the tiny glass vial—filled with a fast-acting sedative Lucien had warned me about months ago. Odorless. Tasteless. Potent enough to knock out an Alpha in under ten minutes. I tucked it into the small slit sewn inside

  • The Human mate: Marked for vengeance.    Chapter 79

    Teya’s PovLucien found me in the greenhouse later that afternoon, where I’d gone to be alone and think. The sun filtered through cracked panes of glass, painting lines across my skin. Dust motes floated in the air like lazy fireflies. But I didn’t feel calm.I felt like I was standing on the edge of a cliff, about to jump—and the one person who might try to catch me had no idea what I was planning.His footsteps were quiet, but I knew them by now.“Hey,” he said softly, his voice a balm that scraped against my guilt. “You didn’t come back after breakfast.”“I needed space,” I replied, not looking at him. I was sitting on the edge of the broken planter bench, one knee pulled to my chest. “Not from you though. I just needed to think.”Lucien didn’t argue. He sat beside me, close but not touching, his body heat a steady presence in the cool room.“I saw Kael talking to you.”I stiffened.Of course he saw.“He approached me,” I said, choosing my words with painful care. “He acted like he

  • The Human mate: Marked for vengeance.    Chapter 78

    TEYA’S POVThe morning light sliced through the blinds like a blade, and I winced, turning away from it instinctively. Everything hurts.A dull ache radiated through my ribs, my shoulder throbbed where I’d slammed into the ground, and my knuckles stung from the moment I’d tried, in vain, to fight off one of the attackers. My body was a canvas of bruises, blooming in purples and deep reds, a living reminder of the ambush. But what haunted me more than the pain was how close we’d come to not making it out at all.The mattress beneath me dipped slightly, and I felt the soft press of warmth at my back. Lucien’s scent still lingered on the sheets. Earthy, grounding, with a hint of cedar and smoke. It wrapped around me like a safety net. I sat up slowly, hissing as pain stabbed through my side. A low groan escaped before I could stop it.Lucien wasn’t there anymore, but his presence still filled the room. His shirt hung over the edge of the chair, the first-aid kit still open on the night

  • The Human mate: Marked for vengeance.    Chapter 77

    TEYA’S POVHis kiss deepened slowly, like a tide pulling me under.There was no rush, no desperation—just a steady, smoldering heat that built with every brush of his lips, every quiet exhale against my skin. His hands remained at my waist, fingers flexing slightly against the curve of my hips as if he was restraining himself.I broke the kiss only to breathe, eyes meeting his again. His pupils were blown wide, the gold ring around his irises molten. For once, there was no fear in them. No guilt. Just want.“I’m not fragile,” I whispered, voice low and uneven.His brow furrowed slightly. “You’re hurt.”“I’m alive,” I countered, stepping closer until our chests brushed, heat blooming between us. “And I need to feel it.”That was all it took.His mouth crashed into mine again—rougher this time, urgent. The restraint snapped. His hands slid up my spine, pulling me flush against him. I felt the tension ripple through his muscles, every inch of him wound tight with the effort of holding ba

  • The Human mate: Marked for vengeance.    Chapter 76

    TEYA'S POVEvery part of me ached—bone-deep bruises, the sting of torn skin, and a burn in my lungs from too much running and not enough air. But none of that compared to the heavier weight pressing down on my chest.We’d survived.Barely.Lucien didn’t speak as he guided me through the moonlit corridors of the academy, his hand hovering near my back without ever quite touching. The silence between us was thick—too full of what we’d seen, what we’d felt, what could’ve happened.We didn’t go to the infirmary. That kind of attention we couldn’t afford. Instead, he led me to a tucked-away corner of the old west wing—a private dorm rarely used, nearly forgotten by most students. A place built for solitude, not comfort.He unlocked the door with a quiet click and let me step in first. It was modest: a worn bed pressed against the wall, a cluttered desk stacked with scrolls and crumpled notes, a single lamp casting soft golden light across the shadows. It felt safe. Or maybe I just wanted i

  • The Human mate: Marked for vengeance.    Chapter 75

    LUCIEN’S POVThe morning sunlight spilled across the stone courtyard in broken patches, warm but somehow distant, like the world had moved on from last night, while I was still standing in the wreckage.I waited beneath the willow tree near the practice field, where the wind moved gently but my thoughts stayed still. Every breath felt heavier than it should. I didn’t know what she would say or if she’d come at all.Then I heard her footsteps as she walked toward me, arms wrapped around herself like she was bracing against more than just the morning chill. Her eyes were still red-rimmed, her hair hastily pulled back. She looked wrecked. Honest. Humans. She stopped a few paces from me, her lips parting, then closing again..I watched her for a long moment. No fire in her expression. No sharp tongue. Just the raw ache of someone carrying too much.But there were things to be done. And now wasn’t the time for wounds and apologies.“I found a place we can use,” I told her. “The old illusio
