Bride of the Cursed Alpha (Auren and Lucien)

Chapter 183

. When daddy trained us as a warrior, he taught us how important it is to deceive your opponent if necessary. Nothing is black in and white in this world. There are shades of gray where you would tread one day. The intelligence lied in your tact.

It was impossible for me to eat food even as Bradley had his chicken burger carelessly. "You worry too much," he said, stuffing his mouth with another bite. "Eat something. And if you won't, give your steak to me." He extended his hand toward my plate, but Matt squatted his hand away.

"Let her eat it," he growled at Brad. “She is hungry."

I huffed. "I'm not hungry," I said, passing the plate to Brad. My brother happily ate it all. However, Matt didn't touch his plate either. He was sitting beside me and his eyes were fixed on me. His hand was draped over the back of my chair. I turned to him, crossing my arms across his chest. "It's all your fault that we are in so much trouble!" I just couldn't help thinking if Tulip touched him or not. Anger simmered inside me all the more at the mere thought.

"My fault?" he said, raising his eyebrow.

"Yes, you should have submitted your assignment in time."

He lowered his head. "I should have submitted my assignment in time, but you

can't blame me."

"What do you

mean?" I hissed.

"I mean—” He looked into my eyes in a way that made my knees wobbly. Goddess, this mate bond was creating havoc inside me. He took a deep breath and brushed his finger on my back. Jolts of lightning sparked across my spine. "My attention was diverted by someone."

"Get a room!" Bradley scowled.

But I didn't- couldn't pay attention to him, captivated by the dark eyes of a certain bear.

Matt continued, "Why didn't you have dinner last night? If you had your dinner, I wouldn't have to feed you, and would have completed my assignment."

"Oh, so this is also my fault? I never asked you to come and feed me."

Ground shook beneath my feet and I felt dizzy. "But," the Dean continued. "I won't be doing any such thing. The crux of the matter is that even though you lied to me, you wanted to expose Professor Tulip. What she did
