The Alpha's Human Mate의 모든 챕터: 챕터 21 - 챕터 30

CHAPTER 21: Lucien's POV“You’re being stupid, Lucien,” Baron Schneider’s voice grated on my nerves. “Restless and careless. Do you even know what you’re doing?”I leaned back in my chair, stretching out my legs under the long table. Schneider looked ready to burst a vein, and his eyes glowed red and sharp with fury, with his fangs peeking just enough to show his temper.“Careless?” I repeated lazily, twirling the stem of my glass filled with dark red deer's blood. “Baron Schneider, you wound me. I have no idea what you mean.”“You know damn well what I mean!” Schneider slammed a hand on the table, rattling the glasses. “For years, we have kept the peace. Years, Lucien! We live side by side with wolves, with humans who have no idea what lurks in the dark and now… You stir up a war with the werewolves!”I sighed, tipping my head against the back of the chair and staring at the rough ceiling. “War, peace, war, peace. It’s all so boring, don’t you think?”“You arrogant brat,” Schneider

CHAPTER 23: Ivy's POVI dragged myself through the rest of my shift like a ghost amd even after Damian stormed out of the café, his words echoed inside me. Stay away from Lucien he’d said it like a command, like the world would end if I didn’t and the way he had bolted when that bell rang… Damian Blackthorn didn’t run from anything and that scared me more than the red eyed men.By the time my shift ended and the sky was dipping into shades of orange and purple, I felt wrung out. My boss yelled something about my sloppy latte art, but I barely heard her. All I wanted was to get home and lock myself inside where nothing and no one could reach me.The bus ride was the longest it had ever been. I sat by the window, clutching my bag to my chest with my eyes darting to every person who stepped in. A man in a brown jacket sneezed, and I nearly jumped out of my seat. A girl laughed too loudly behind me, and my heart raced. Every face looked suspicious and every movement felt threatening.Get

CHAPTER 25: Ivy's POVI blinked quickly with my breath catching as I stared across the street. The glowing eyes were gone just like that. One second they were there, staring straight into me, and the next… nothing.“Get a grip, Ivy,” I whispered under my breath, clutching the little note Damian had given me tighter in my fist.Still, my skin tingled with unease. I knew I hadn’t imagined it.. I knew something had been watching me.I hurried inside the town hall kitchen before my nerves made me turn back home.The kitchen was busy with chefs shouting orders, pots clanging and waiters rushing in and out with trays. I cleared my throat and held out the folded note.“Uh… hi. Damian Blackthorn sent me. Said I should show this to you.”The head chef snatched the note, read it and then looked me up and down.“So you’re the girl. Came highly recommended, so don’t disappoint me, alright?”“Yes, sir,” I said quickly.He shoved an apron into my hands and pointed me to the others.“Serve, smile a

CHAPTER 27: Ivy's POVI lay there in the silence, my body still humming from everything that had just happened, my mind a mess. The question slipped out before I could stop it.“Damian… who are you? I mean… what are you?”For a moment, he didn’t move. His chest rose and fell heavily, his breath uneven. Then he let out a long sigh, like he had been holding it in for a long time.I propped myself on my elbow, my eyes searching his face in the dim light. “Don’t shut me out,” I whispered. “I need to know. I need to know what’s going on. Why you keep showing up everywhere. Why Lucien D’amato is suddenly so interested in me. I need to hear it all… all of it.”His jaw tightened, and he turned to look at the ceiling. “You don’t know what you’re asking, Ivy.”“Yes, I do.” My voice cracked, but I held firm. “You owe me the truth.”Finally, his gaze slid back to mine. His eyes were darker than I’d ever seen them, deep pools that pulled me in. “Fine,” he said quietly. “But once you hear it, t

CHAPTER 29:Damian’s POVI shut the doors of the mansion behind me and the sound echoed down the long hall. The house was quiet. Too quiet. The kind of quiet only I could notice.I could smell the faint trace of my maid in the other room. She was probably dusting or sweeping. She had no idea I was back. I walked so soft and so calm, even my scent stayed hidden. She didn’t hear me.Another maid moved about in the kitchen. But she wasn’t a wolf, just a human. She wouldn’t sense me if I stood right behind her.I didn’t stop to greet anyone. I didn’t even breathe too deep. I went straight to my mini bar at the far end of the lounge. My coat felt heavy on my shoulders. I pulled it off and flung it across the chair carelessly. Then I grabbed a cold beer, twisted it open, and dropped down hard into the seat.The fizz crackled as I took the first gulp. Cold. Bitter. Perfect. I leaned back, closing my eyes.And then she was there again. Ivy.Her lips. Her soft moans. The way her body had melte
