Bride of the Cursed Alpha (Auren and Lucien) novel Chapter 175

Matt POV

I stared at Tulip for a second before adding, “I can’t reject her. I am sorry, but so I have to ask you to vacate my house as soon as possible.” Saying that I turned to walk away, my heart feeling lighter. There was a bounce in my steps, and I couldn’t help chuckling at the risk of looking silly.

“This isn’t over, Matt!” Tulip shouted behind me. “I will not let you go. Reject her!”

I just walked away. Only my death would part me from my Tam. Even if I had to grovel in dirt to get her, I would. This would be my redemption. I would do everything she’s asked me to do. If she would put a leash around me, I’d happily become her mutt. My heart swelled with euphoria. All I wanted was to go to Tam, and coat myself in her

scent.

However, I was in for a shock when I went to the Shadowfang pack. Alpha Lucien and Luna Auren were shocked to know that I was their daughter’s mate. It took a day for

them to sink it in.

“But you can’t meet her,” Alpha Lucien said the next day.

“Why?” I raised my eyebrow. “Because I’m a bear shifter?”

He shook his head. “Who am I to intervene in what goddess has chosen for you and her? You can’t meet her because she is attending a human college.” After that he told me where she had gone to attend it.

The shock on her face when she saw me in her class was a Kodak moment.

So, right now standing in front of her, shouting at me, knowing fully well that she had recognized me as her mate, was like nirvana. I watched her shouting at me like a lovesick fool.

“You, old geezer!” she spat. “I/don’t want you near me. Let me live my life for once! I’ve had enough of you. I want to move on.” She placed her hand on her hip and cocked her hip. “And how could a twenty–eight–year–old man join college in my year?”

I tilted my head, amused by her reaction, attracted by her insane beauty, crazed by her warm caramel and chocolate smell. “I’m not that old,” I replied to her. “Besides, all the other males in your class pale in front of me, I am the most handsome.”

Her jaw dropped. “I don’t want you anywhere near me. So stay away! You get that?”

“I can’t,” replied. “Alpha Lucien agreed that there has to be someone to protect you all the time, even in your class. The warriors he sent to guard you can’t enter the building
