Auren POV

Brad was sleeping, but the warriors were all sprawled everywhere. Somehow, two even followed me out of nowhere. I knew they were all lurking around my dorm, and none dared to confront Matt because father had already approved of him. “Bradddd!” I pounded his door, but the wolf was fast asleep. Even an earthquake wouldn’t be able to wake him up. “He came back late today,” a warrior, Tate, informed me. “He is very tired.”

I gritted my teeth. “Do you guys have any breakfast ready?”

“Of course,” Tate smiled. “The omegas have prepared a delicious meal for all of us.”

I sighed. Dad had to send the omegas to make breakfast for all of them? When I entered the kitchen, I found two omegas working tirelessly for a dozen people.

“Lady Tamara!” one of them grinned as she bowed to me. “It’s so nice to see you.”

“I’m starving!” I replied. Seriously, something has been going wrong with me since yesterday. I felt like eating and eating

more.

They quickly arranged plates of salad, cereal, roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, milk, honey, and pastries. I think I had all of them, and headed toward the room where Brad kept his sports equipment. I fished out his soccer ball and came out where the warriors were training. “I have to practice volleyball,” I said. “If any of you can help me learn it, I’ll be grateful.”

Three of them eagerly came over. “Of course! We can help you.”

“I don’t know much about it though,” I confessed. “I just want to know enough so that I can add value to the team.” Two warriors stood in front of me, while one of them was with me. We started playing. Everything was going well when all of a sudden from the periphery of my vision, I saw Matt coming. He glared at my two opponents and stood with his arms crossed across his chest, watching us like a hawk.

“Are you ready?” said one of them and shot the ball toward me.

With my attention diverted, I didn’t take the shot, and the ball hit me on my face. Before I knew it, Matt was onto that warrior. He kicked him hard on his butt. “What the fuck do you think you are doing to Tammy?” he shouted as he grabbed collars of the two warriors. “Are you trying to kill her? You can’t hit the ball so hard.” He threw them both on the ground and kicked them harder. “The ball has to be thrown softly! If she gets injured, I will fucking throttle you both!”

“Matttt!” I shouted.

He picked up the two harried warriors easily, and crashed them together. They groaned as they fell back on the ground. ” She is a delicate flower, and you are treating her like she is a hardened criminal. Who the fuck even plays like that with flowers? You want her to wilt before she blooms?”

“Wilt? Bloom?” The warriors groaned as they trembled in front of him.

“I’m going to get my bears here. You wolves don’t know how to treat your princess!” He started kicking them.

“Enough Matt!” I literally shrieked.

Matt froze. He stopped kicking and after a moment of calming down he turned to look at me. “They hit you Tammy,” he said in a low voice.

How could I tell him that he diverted my attention? “Matt, I need to better myself in this game if I have any chance. If you keep coming in between, I will never be able to master it! So stand at the side.”

“You should play with your teammates.”

“And be ridiculed? No thanks. First, I have to practice.” I looked at the two wolves. “Come on, we’ll play again.” The warriors got up, groaning, wary of Matt, all bruised up, but they stood opposite me. We began playing. I was frustrated by the number of missed shots, but every time I took a shot, it went well. However, the ball hit my face again, and Matt being Matt! He kicked the warriors again. “Careful with her!” he growled. “If I see you hitting her again with that fucking ball, I will turn you both into a ball and send your sorry assess back to Shadowfang.”

Geez. “I think it’s time we head to college.”

The two warriors were helped by others to go back inside.

The first class was that of art. I hated art.

Successfully unlocked!

Okay, that’s not true. I loved it, mostly because i gave me a chance to see something that spoke to me. When I reached the class two hours later with Matt on my side, Professor Rivers was in the middle of announcing today’s exercise.

“Alright class! Today, we have a special treat!” she clapped her hands excited, glancing at us. “We are going to work with a live model, and I’m pleased to say that one of our very own will be stepping up to the task.” Her eyes flickered toward Matt,
