Bride of the Cursed Alpha (Auren and Lucien) novel Chapter 204

Chapter 204

Tamara POV

My anxiety increased when Matt didn’t return the next night either.

I looked at Brad. “Did Matt tell you as to where he was going specifically?”

“Nope!” Brad replied. He glanced at Summer who was sleeping.

She had woken up during the day. Brad had pampered her to the hilt. But the girl was too fragile to walk and fend for herself. What kind of abuse she must have gone through? It sent a chill down my spine. I was going to talk to her in time in order to help her heal mentally and physically.

Brad continued, “He roughly said that he was going toward the cult building. But that shouldn’t take so much time.”

“We should send some people to find him. I’m not feeling comfortable about it,” I admitted.

“I’ve sent five of my warriors with him,” Brad replied, rubbing the back of his neck.

My phone buzzed in the room. I rushed to pick up the call, thinking it was Matt, but it was Seth.

“Hi Tammy, where is Alpha Matt?” Seth asked on the phone, his voice filled with worry.

“Where are you?” I asked.

“At his house.”

“I’m coming,” I said with urgency in my voice.

“Do you want me to come with you?” Brad asked, shifting on his feet.

I shook my head as I picked up my bag. “No. Take care of Summer. But I’ll call you if needed.”

Brad seemed to relax, and I walked outside. I took Brad’s car and rushed to Matt’s house, which was only two blocks away. Seth was standing outside with other warriors from his pack.

“Tammy!” Seth came to me, his demeanor that of anxiety. “I hadn’t heard from Matt for the past two days. We are getting worried. Where is he?”

His words only added to my nervousness. “I don’t know,” I replied.

“What do you mean? He was with you!”

I ran my fingers through my hair. “Come on. There’s a lot I have to tell you.”

When we were in Matt’s house, I spilled out everything regarding Summer and how Matt had gone to find the cultists along with a few wolf warriors.

“Why the hell did he not tell me?” Seth seethed. “I don’t like it when he is secretive!”

“Seth, instead of getting angry, you should go to find him,” I pointed.

“Of course, that’s what I will do!” he gritted. “But I also want you to be safe. Don’t go to your dorm. Stay with Brad, okay?”

I nodded. “When are you leaving to find him?”

“Right now!” he said. He looked at his warriors and instructed them what to do. Then he turned to me. “If you don’t hear

from us in twenty–four hours, inform the local police.”

“Yes, I will,” I said, but tears welled in my eyes. “Please find Matt.” I rasped. It was the first time I felt so lonely, so empty. I swear to the goddess, if Matt returned safely, I would marry him and mark him. Instantly.

Seth pulled me in a hug. “Don’t worry, Tammy. We will find him. But please be safe. I’d suggest that you don’t go anywhere, okay?”

As I sat in the art class, the pencil felt heavier in my hand. All I could think of was Matt. My mind replayed the last time I had drawn him, when the professor had asked him to model for the rest of the class. The way he looked darkly at me, the way his eyes seemed to pierce right through me. I felt like crying. The idle chatter from my classmates faded into the background. I exhaled, but the space felt so suffocating. His memories tugged at my heart, making it difficult to focus.

“Tamara!” Sheena’s sweet voice pierced through my thoughts.

She grinned. “One of my mom’s friend’s daughters is taking art as a subject. She asked me to wait for her here. What about you?”

I chuckled. “No, thanks. I’m in a hurry. Brad is coming to pick me up.”

“Oh, come on! You can ask him to come to the café,” she insisted.

She pouted. “Okay. But you have to come with me to the café tomorrow morning.”
