All Chapters of The Human mate: Marked for vengeance. : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

TEYA'S POVThe crowd didn’t move at first. Even when the heads showed up yelling and pushing students back, most stuck around—pretending to tie their shoes, whispering, trying to steal glances at us. They'd seen enough. The damage was done.A guard lightly touched my shoulder, saying the heads wanted to see me later. I just nodded; my throat was parched, and all I could hear was my heart pounding. Arya’s words echoed in my mind: “I didn’t think you’d do this.” Ugh, that line would haunt me.Lucien was saying something to one of the heads, then pulled Arya aside, and I thought maybe he’d finally say what needed to be said. But I didn’t stick around to see.I walked away fast, not even registering how I got to my room or closed the door. But once inside, the heavy silence hit me. I slid down against the door, feeling alone. Again.By morning, it felt like everyone suddenly knew my name, but not in a good way. “She seduced him,” someone said. “She’s always been trouble,” another chim

TEYA'S POVWhen morning rolled around, it was as if the entire world had just... hit pause.No whispers floated through the air. No curious stares bored into my skin. Nothing.Silence.An eerie silence.I stood there in the middle of the hallway, frozen like a deer caught in headlights, feeling like a total idiot. I was just waiting. Waiting for someone—anyone—to barrel into me as if by accident, or shoot me that glance, you know, the kind that felt like it could burn a hole right through you. I half-expected someone to hurl a cruel remark loud enough for everyone to hear, to remind me that I was still in their line of fire.But it never happened. There were no hostile looks, no whispered insults, not even a single phone aimed in my direction.It was like I was wrapped in this invisible cloak again.And oh man—who would have thought I’d actually miss being invisible?At first, I figured it had to be some kind of trick. Maybe they’d moved the whole circus online, laughing behind their

Teya’s POVI never really noticed when we fell into this unusual rhythm—this almost unspoken connection that had developed between Lucien and me. It wasn’t something we sat down and mapped out over coffee or talked about in-depth during our breaks. It just sort of evolved, like plants finding their way toward the sunlight, without any intentional planning on our part. Every time I showed up at the studio, it was like he had a sixth sense about it. I mean, how did he always seem to know? It was kind of impressive, really. And of course, I never hesitated to let him in. There was something comforting about the way he stepped into the space; it felt like I was inviting in a slice of calm amidst a whirlwind of thoughts and insecurities.At first, those towering mirrors felt menacing, reflecting not just my physical form but also my doubts, amplifying everything I feared. The silence in the room could be deafening, almost mocking, echoing my every misstep. But over time, something shifted

TEYA'S POVYou know how sometimes, life throws you a curveball, and you can't even remember how you got into the mess you're in? Yeah, that was me right then. I couldn’t recall how I had left the studio, but the chaos inside me was unmistakable. My heart was pounding like a drum stuck on fast-forward, that tightness in my throat felt like a boulder lodged there, and the air around me? It was thick and heavy, as if I were trying to breathe underwater.One moment, I stood there, completely frozen, processing the craziness swirling in my head, and the next, I was bolting down the hallway. I sprinted past the mirrors, all those reflections reminding me of the absurdity of what was happening, while the sound of my own footsteps echoed back, taunting me like some cruel joke. It was like my body was on autopilot, but my brain? Oh man, my brain was going into overdrive.**Lucien. Reya. Lucien.** Each name rang out in my head like church bells, loud and clanging, drowning out any sense of cal

Lucien stood there, utterly paralyzed in the courtyard long after Teya had stormed away, her furious presence still reverberating within him like an echo that just wouldn't fade. The intensity of her voice rang in his ears, her raw power crackling like electricity in the air, leaving lingering impressions in the depths of his mind.That piercing look in her eyes, filled with a swirl of fury and heartbreak—it was etched in his memory, as if it were branded into his very soul. Everything about that moment had burned itself into him, leaving him feeling like a man trapped under the weight of his own thoughts. Around him, the crowd had dispersed, but not before casting furtive glances back in his direction. A handful of his fellow students pretended to be engrossed in their phones, some wandered past with an air of nonchalance, yet their sidelong stares betrayed their interest in the wolf who had just suffered a social catastrophe in public.Lucien's hands dangled limply at his sides, bu
