Bride of the Cursed Alpha (Auren and Lucien) novel Chapter 173

Mate?

Tamara POV

I stopped in my tracks, and snapped my head to where I sensed it. Since I couldn’t see it, I slowly approached it, but the more I neared it, the further it went. Before I knew it, I was chasing it, sniffing it, feeling that strange irresistible pull. It reminded me of Matt. My heart ached for him, but I knew that it wasn’t him. He must have got married to Tulip and they probably had a few pups by now.

After he left on my fifteenth birthday, he never returned. Not once. He didn’t even call me. It was like he ghosted us all. Father was pretty amused by his behavior. Teddy and Shehla also never visited us. It felt like they wanted to sever the connection with us. It was odd, but how could I question it? Shehla stopped picking my calls. It was bizarre.

I don’t know how long I chased it, but I never saw it. Feeling defeated, I gave up in the end, and returned home because it was already dawn.

With Angel inside me, I felt like my life had taken a beautiful turn. I had a companion who would stay with me always. Her presence made me feel full.

A few omegas were standing at the door. They offered me clothes, since I was butt naked when I shifted back to my human form. I took a robe and wore it. As soon as I entered, I saw mom.

“Tammy!” she said excitedly as she jumped from her chair. “How was it? Your hair looks like birds have laid eggs. What’s your wolf’s name? Where is Brad? I’ve been waiting for you. Oscar and Hans have already slept with your dad!”

I laughed and hugged her with all the dirt I was covered in. She didn’t mind at all and hugged me tightly. “Her name is Angel.”

Mom pulled away as she looked at me with adoration. “What a lovely name…” She kissed my cheek. “Take a bath. I’m sure you’re hungry.”

“Ravenous!”

At breakfast, I came to know that Brad’s wolf’s name was Keir.

A week later we were standing in the admission office of our college in the human world along with Dad. He made us read the treaty between wolves and humans until we remembered every word of it.

“Bradley Vaslof, Tamara Vaslof?” the lady at the admission office looked at us. We went to her. She smiled and handed us Our welcome kit. “Here’s the keys to your dorms.”

“Oh, that won’t be necessary,” Dad said. “I have bought a house for them near the campus,” he added proudly. What he didn‘ t say was that the house was large enough to have a dozen warriors guarding us. But I wanted to go to a dorm because I wanted my privacy. Soon…

The lady grinned. “That’s good,” she blushed, looking at him, and I rolled my eyes. That was the effect my dad had on all the human women. “I’m yet to see people as beautiful as you are,” she blurted. “You all are going to be very popular.”

While my dad chuckled, both Brad and I snorted, understanding what she meant.

She continued, “Bradley is great at football, and the college has already integrated him in the team. And Tamara, you are in the beachball team.”

“Beachball?” I said, shocked. “I wanted basketball.”

She shrugged. “You can talk to the Dean about it.”

Gritting my teeth, I stomped out of the office.

“I wanted to-”

1. me.
