Chapter 2 New Life

Tamara's Point of View

As I looked ahead, I paused to take a deep breath. Today, we travel to the enigmatic Phantom City.

To be honest, our abrupt departure caught me off guard.

My mother quickly sold off all of our furniture and household goods. Unfortunately, I won't even have time to say goodbye to my friends.

"What's the matter, Mom? Is the pack pursuing us because of me?" I finally gave up and asked my mother about it.

"Hunt? Who will go searching for us? You have the most firepower among the group."

When I asked my mother a question, she laughed as if I had asked a ridiculous question.

"Then why do we leave so quickly?" you might ask after hearing what happened. I frowned as I heard my mother respond.

My mother sighed and gave me the strangest look. What exactly is my mother up to these days? If I recall correctly, I haven't seen her blush in quite some time.

"I have some exciting news to share with you... But don't be so quick to condemn me."

"I'm not sure I can take what you're going to say, Mom. As I look at my mother for the first time, I say with wide eyes.

"You already know how much I adore your father and how much I will never forget him. However, time passes..."

"Please, mother, stop. I'm not surprised by what's going on here." I sighed and asserted myself with the most profound expression I could muster.

'If you don't like it, Tamara-'

When I saw my mother's disappointed expression, I decided to call it quits on my prank.

I consoled her by placing my hand on her shoulder and telling her, "If you're happy, Mom, I'm happy... If you find someone who can make you happy and stick by your side as you grow older, I promise I will be the happiest kid on the planet."

I cried when my mother smacked me on the arm "Oh, you cunning little twerp! I was afraid you wouldn't let me date new people." My mother remarked with a broad smile.

"Are you serious? I'm laughing out loud. I've been advising my mother to resume dating for the past five years." This was the last thing I said.

Alfonzo will adore you, so thank you very much!

I can't help but laugh as I see my mother shivering as she says the man's name. "So, Alfonzo...maybe you can tell me how the two of you met and how your love story began, because I never see you leave our town," I inquire.

My mother began telling me the story of Alfonzo and his wife. We drove right by Phantom City while we were talking.

"Look at this city, Mom! I exclaimed as we approached the heart of town.

"I didn't realize Phantom was this advanced," my mother says as she checks her phone. But now that I'm an adult with the ability to drive, my mother hands me the phone.

"Give your uncle a call; I couldn't tell you where his house is even if I tried."

"This Alfonzo doesn't need to be reminded that we're coming today, but I just wanted to make sure. He must come and get us." I had to remark after driving around the city's outskirts for a while.

When I asked my mother a question, she laughed and said, "What do I think of myself, I ask Tamara. Why are you dropping everything and going to the man's house without informing him? That is unreasonable to expect from an elderly man like me!"

"Mom, I'm just curious. We are city slickers for the time being." I can't help but smile when my mother does something cute.

Someone answers the phone after a few rings.

.

"Hello?"

I couldn't respond right away when I heard the baritone voice on the other end of the line. I was smitten by the masculinity of his voice.

"Hello?!"

Could you please assist me in locating Alfonzo Hale? As I stutter-answered, I felt embarrassed. Mom raised an eyebrow as she listened to what I had to say.

"We expected to see Alfonzo, but he hasn't arrived. Could you please introduce yourself?"

Please introduce yourself: "My name is Tamara Morningstar, and I'm Lolita's daughter."

"Lorenzo, Uncle? Sir, yes! In what ways are things wrong?"

My eyebrows shot up when I heard the thrill on the other end of the line.

The problem is that we don't know our way around this city "With a grin, I said.

"Really? Because my father isn't here right now, could you please let me know where you are and I'll come get you?"

He abruptly cut me off after I informed him of our location.

Despite this, my heart continued to race.

Tamara, please tell me what's wrong with you. You can only hear his voice. not to mention! He is the name of your future stepfather's son!

A motorcycle pulled up in front of our car after ten minutes.

It's got to be Jonas, right? My mother quickly exited the vehicle after making a remark.

Oh, for Christ's sake! I knew he was beautiful, but I had no idea he was this gorgeous.

My heart is in my chest, and I'm terrified of letting go "And what exactly is going on? My feelings for Jonas far outnumber my feelings for David, so who should I choose as my life partner?" I whispered something to the man who had just left to return to his car.

"Later, I'll have to introduce Jonas to Tamara. He'll drop us off at the house before returning to his backpack "My mother started the car and gave me a tour.

Mom, I'm not looking forward to meeting my new brother. Although I don't feel the same way about him as my mother does, the term "brother" still applies to him.

"It's my first time meeting Jonas, but as his father puts it, he's above average! If we're the same age, I'll go to any length to get him."

"I didn't realize you judged people based on their appearance, Mom," her son said. While looking at the car in front of us, I made a remark.

"Don't tell me you're not different?" he teased Tamara.

"My heart is still shattered, so I prefer not to look at any guy," I sneered at my mother.

"I have no doubt that you will find your soulmate among this group. As far as I know, every single member is powerful, so your strength will not be an issue."

"Mom!" My brow furrowed, and I let out a yell.

I wished to avoid discussing my past for the sake of my former pack and mate.

Jonas came to a halt in the two-story house, and my mother quickly followed.

Well, it appears that we have succeeded...please make yourself at home,"

My gaze wanders around the house before settling on my mother. "I'm hoping uncle Alfonzo likes me," I say, smiling.

"Tamara, he already does it. Alfonzo liked you from the moment he saw you. Stop hesitating and go speak with Jonas right now!" My mother makes a remark and exits the vehicle.

Tamara, I have faith in you. Don't hold grudges against him; he'll soon be your brother. Okay?
