The Human mate: Marked for vengeance. のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 51 - チャプター 60

Teya's POV It was Lucien. His voice broke through the noise like a gunshot, sharp and commanding. At that moment, the world seemed to halt around us. The officer froze mid-step, caught off guard by Lucien's unexpected intervention.Lucien strode forward with a confidence that demanded attention—it was like a magnet pulling everyone’s gaze toward him. He had this powerful build with broad shoulders that gave him an imposing stature, and his jaw was set so tightly, you could almost think he was ready to snap if someone crossed him. Those eyes of his? They flickered with a stormy intensity, as if a whirlwind of emotions was raging just beneath the surface, waiting to explode at any moment.At that moment, he didn’t resemble a typical student who was just walking through campus with a backpack slung over one shoulder. No, Lucien exuded an aura of raw power, the kind that made you feel like there was a force of nature right in front of you. He embodied authority, as if the very air around

Teya's POVThe hallway was quiet, almost eerily so, as I made my way toward Kael’s office. My footsteps echoed off the stone floors, sounding far louder than they should have in the stillness. With every step, a new possibility unraveled in my mind. Why now? Why did he want to see me after everything? Why urgently?I didn’t bother to knock. I hesitated for a moment, my hand hovering just over the doorknob, before finally pushing it open.Kael was seated behind his desk, staring intently at a thick folder open in front of him. His brows were furrowed in concentration, but the moment he saw me, he straightened, closing the folder with deliberate calm.“You came,” he said simply.“I heard you were looking for me,” I replied, trying to keep my voice neutral. My heart was already beating faster, every beat echoing with unease.He gestured to the seat across from him. I didn’t sit.“What is it?” I asked.Kael tilted his head, studying me. “You look tired.”“I am. It’s been a long week.”H

Lucien’s PovTch.He always knew how to ruin a moment.Kael stood in the doorway like a storm, tall and coiled with something too close to rage. His eyes locked on Teya first—never me—and I hated how familiar that look was. Possessive. Like she belonged to him.“Teya,” he said, his voice dangerously calm. “Come with me. Now.”Teya straightened slowly, still breathing hard from the spar. Her sweat-slicked skin shimmered in the dim training hall light, strands of hair stuck to her cheeks. She looked powerful. Fierce.And she didn’t even flinch.“I’m not done,” she said.Kael blinked once, slow and sharp. “You’ve trained enough for today. We have more important matters to discuss.”I stepped forward before she could respond, inserting myself into the space between them. Not touching her—but close enough.“She said she’s not done,” I said evenly.His gaze finally shifted to me. “This doesn’t concern you, Lucien.”“It does when you show up barking orders during my session.”Teya’s voice cu

Lucien's POVThe door to the studio creaked open, slowly and quietly, almost hesitantly. You know the kind of sound that makes you hold your breath in anticipation? I didn’t even bother to glance over my shoulder because deep down, I was convinced it was her. It had to be her. Teya.Even now, I could vividly recall the way she had looked at me the last time we trained together. The intensity in her gaze was almost palpable, as if she was afraid that if she blinked, she’d lose something precious. It was a moment that lingered in my mind, her laughter, light and musical, echoed like a haunting melody long after she had departed. I couldn’t help but replay it over and over, wondering how something so seemingly airy could sit like a weight in my chest. And the way she felt, the warmth of her body pressed against mine, the way she responded, soft sounds escaping her lips as I explored the contours of her form, it all felt like a beautiful but dangerous dream I was terrified to wake up fr

Lucien's POVIt all began with a knock—a lazy, almost rhythmic tapping that grated on my nerves more than it piqued my curiosity. Honestly, I was so uninterested in getting up that I didn’t even bother to respond at first. I was sprawled across my leather couch, one arm tossed carelessly over my eyes like a makeshift shield against the world, and above all, her. Arya. The mere thought of her sent a jolt of irritation through me. I hadn’t seen Teya properly since that fateful day in the studio; the day Arya had confronted me about everything. I hadn’t been avoiding her calls on purpose. It was just… complicated, you know? How do you explain something so tangled, so messy? Another knock sounded, but this time it was louder—more forceful, more demanding.I let out an exasperated sigh.“Lucien?” Arya called out sweetly, her voice chiming through the closed door.Oh great, just what I needed.Still, I didn’t budge.“Lucien, I know you’re in there,” she continued, her tone shifting to a
