Surrounded by Wolves Chapter 17
“Why does it sound like you haven’t eaten all day?” Xander frowned and my stomach growled again, this time, a lot louder than it first did.‘Tell your stomach to shut up!’ I yelled at Grace and I felt she must have rolled her eyes. ‘I told you to eat but you didn’t and now it’s my stomach?’ She scoffed.“It’s because I haven’t eaten all day,” I admitted in defeat. “I was a bit nervous for today so I couldn’t think of putting anything in my stomach.”“You? Nervous?” His brow raised. “I find it hard to believe you’re still the same Selene I know.”My heart stuttered at that. Would he find out I was not the original Selene!?‘Xander is not Omni – what do you call it?’ Grace started. ‘Is it Omni-knowing? Anyway, he’s not that! How can he even imagine the absurdity of what happened with you?’ “Maybe it’s because you don’t actually know me,” I responded to Xander and it was the truth. The person he knew was long gone and in her place was someone more interested in living than chasing a

I faked an emergency to get away from the male lead who had started to talk nonsense. We were done with our meal so I rushed to stand but as I did, he did too, a tight smile on his lips and an indescribable look in his eyes.“You’re running away,” he said.“Running? Do you see me running? I’m standing right here, aren’t I?” His brow raised but I turned away and speed walked out of the place leaving him to settle the bill.As I exited the restaurant, I met the waitress from the previous restaurant who had changed out of her work clothes and was now on her way home. She stopped when she saw me, her gaze assessing me up and down, making me feel small.Grace growled in annoyance and I remembered who I was so I put my hands on my hips and looked her up and down with a sneer of disgust like the one on her face.“You think he loves you, huh?” She spat out, walking towards me. I held my ground, glaring at her. “Don’t be deceived, you’re nothing to that guy. He’ll toss you out like trash when

“Seth!”I met a familiar face at the clinic. The guy from my first class turned to me with his trademark bored expression but when he saw me, his eyes lit up a bit. Yet, when he opened his mouth to speak, he sounded like he was talking to a stranger.“Hello,” he said in a monotone. “How can I help you?” I faltered then frowned.“Have you forgotten who I am?” I asked. I’d forgotten to contact him since that day but he occasionally crossed my mind and I even planned to contact him so we could plan our study hours.“Selene, right?” He asked and relief made me nod in a hurry. “Why are you here?” The relief morphed into surprise at the question spoken with a hint of hostility.“Well, I’ll be volunteering here starting Monday,” I said.I’d gone to the vet clinic to receive a briefing on what was expected of me and to conclude my volunteering hours. I also received a few supplies from the clinic.It was clear Seth also volunteered here and when I saw him, I felt a bit of relief at having a

When I learnt the original Selene planned to pursue veterinary medicine, I thought she did it for Xander. After all, her whole life seemed to revolve around him but I learnt that Xander was pursing a bachelor's degree in business administration. Thus, while Seth and I studied, he just sat there and said nothing. Actually, Seth and I weren’t studying. He was teaching me everything. For a gruff guy, he had a lot of patience and I considered myself lucky to have met him. I also discovered that although I knew nothing, it didn’t take me long to grasp the meaning of things so in the five hours we spent in the library, I learnt a whole lot. “You should read up on these before the next class.” He highlighted several parts of the textbook and I happily promised to do so. “Thank you so much, Seth,” I said as I gathered my books. “Right. We should do this often,” he stuffed his books in his bag without looking at me. “See you in class on Monday, then.” “Okay!” I didn’t think much as to why

I put on a pretty short skirt, a cute pink top and nice boots. It was an outfit I had wanted to try since I entered this body but did not feel confident enough to put on. But now that I was going on what I tagged ‘operation disgust Xander,’ I felt the outfit should be fitting.From now on, I would be putting on my best show to ‘seduce’ Xander as I was sure it would be the best way for him to lose interest in me. If I pretended to still be into him, his ego would be sated and I would not have to deal with his bullshit anymore.“It’s a different style but you rock every style,” Bella said. “Alright, off we go.”“You are certain Ethan won’t be there?” I asked for the umpteenth time and Bella rolled her eyes.“No, he has work to do at home this weekend. Don’t worry about your brother. Tonight will be fun, I promise!”I followed Bella to a party off campus that she said was the most anticipated on campus. We got there when the party was already in full swing and when I walked in, the smel

XANDER’S POV“What has you grinning so much? What happened while I was away?” Ethan asked as I chuckled to myself.As my best friend and Beta, he knew much of what went on in my life but I could not share everything with him. If he knew the thoughts running through my head were filled with his sister, he would throw a fit.Selene was up to something and while I was not sure what, it excited me. The blood rushing in my head was deafening to my ears and my heart raced in anticipation of what was to come. The thought that I would have Selene back in my life caused all these overwhelming sensations.Up until a few weeks ago, just seeing her felt unpleasant, a sure way to ruin my day. Her falsely sweet voice used to grate on my nerves and the blue eyes that always stared at me as if I was the hero of the world were creepy to me. I was supposed to hate her but now, her image was burned into my mind, resurfacing at the oddest times and making my heart race.From the way she acted yesterday,

Classes were no joke. I had assumed and even hoped that I would adapt to college life as easily as I adapted to this world but classes were out of this world. At this point, I already had assignments piling up and it was only the second week. Despite being a fast learner, I felt too slow for the hustle and bustle of college life. Coupled with my recent volunteering work, I felt like I could not spend even a second dilly-dallying.Alas, there was still Xander.It was day three of acting like I was still obsessed with him so I found my way to his department building and waited outside. When I got there, a few students were exiting the building. I did not know them so I paid them no mind but it turned out they knew me. It was no surprise considering how this was the first choice for much of the wolves of Silver Moon, although it was a hard institution to get into.“Hey, Selene, are you here to see Xander?” A random boy and girl that I did not know stopp

That should not be what I thought it would be. No way in the heavens and on earth would he have his penis pressed up against me. I wanted to scream and at the same time – it was – it was something.“Do you get turned on by me getting into fights because of you?” I could not help but ask solely out of curiosity.“No, I hate to see you hurt.” His voice was sultry on my neck and although he did nothing but hold me, the fact that he had an erection pressed against me was wild.“Then what is this?” I asked.“What?” He asked.“That!” I screamed.“It’s just – I want you.”“Are you not embarrassed?” I asked, pulling away from him.Despite putting a small distance between us, the heat of his gaze made me feel as if I was naked in his bed and about to be devoured.“Embarrassed? No.” He shook his head with all the

Alphas from all around the world filled the banquet hall making the atmosphere chockful of power. It was no wonder I hadn’t felt even the slightest bit of intimidation after entering this place that reeked of power. I was the Luna here. They were on my land. Grace puffed in satisfaction at that realization.“You did it.” Alpha Liam’s eyes shone with satisfaction as he stared at me. “I knew the goddess would not leave my son to be with an omega. She loves us too much for that.”Xander took a step to block his father’s gaze from me. It was subtle but it was also very obvious because one moment, I could see Alpha Liam’s gaze on me and in the next, I could only see Xander’s back. Alpha Liam laughed at that gesture.“There is the possessiveness of an Alpha,” he said. “Ah, but to think your father would covet your mate. That’s a bit embarrassing, isn’t it?”“Stop looking at her,” Xander growled back.I couldn’t see Alpha Liam thanks to Xander blocking me but I could see his hands as he raise

Even before I opened my eyes, I knew he was staring at me. I could feel his gaze on my face and as my eyes twitched, I wanted to continue to pretend to be asleep.I did it. I opened my mouth and said all the things that had weighed me down. Rather than feeling relieved, I felt guilty. Who would have known that my story would make Xander cry?I thought he’d not believe me, and was even prepared to brush everything off as a joke. What I had not been prepared for was for him to hold me, crying and apologizing. The past was the past and in a sense, didn’t happen. Why did he have to feel so guilty that he’d executed a traitor and gotten with his destined mate?‘That’s why you didn’t want anything to do with me. You were so scared and you were carrying it all alone. You were so scared of the monster that took your life but I didn’t let you be even when you told me to. Even when Lily showed up, you must have been in pain. Y

Something dangerous was bound to happen when meeting up with the bitter ex-mate. I didn’t come here unprepared and wasn’t even surprised when she pulled a gun on me – no, actually, I was a bit surprised. I had expected her to pull a knife or to start attacking me with her fists. I hadn’t really thought a girl like Lily had it in her to pull out a gun and threaten to shoot me.“You should have left him for me.” Her hands were shaking as she held the gun. “You should have had the decency to leave him for me. If you thought of me as a friend for even a second, you should never have been with him. You always looked down on me, didn’t you? You thought I wasn’t good enough but neither are you!” She was shouting, her hands vibrating.I watched her for the right time to disarm her. I wasn’t even sure she knew how to use that gun and I wasn’t about to wait to find out. This bitch wasn’t allowed

“Do you no longer want my son?” Alpha Liam asked and I could only gawk at him.“What do you mean?”“I know how long he thirsted for you while we were at war. I had expected that the first thing he would do when we got back was to mark you but there’s no mark and I know it’s not because he doesn’t want to.”“You can’t just go around asking questions like that,” I said, red in the face. “And aren’t you too invested in his – his extracurricular life?”“I’m only after the future of this pack and I’m looking forward to having grandchildren as well.”“A – Alpha Liam!” I screamed in horror. “You can’t – you can’t say that to a nineteen-year-old!”“Is that so?” He looked flabbergasted. “I said something wrong?”“Xander and I are young!

“Hey.”I dropped my bag and flew into Xander’s arms. He chuckled as he caught me, twirling me in the air.“I missed you too.” He muttered against my neck as I clung to him.“Are we invisible or what?” I heard Ethan’s voice from behind him.I raised my head and saw Ethan and my father standing behind Xander. I hadn’t even seen them. My attention had been entirely on Xander alone. Seeing him before me after so long, I just wanted to bask in his scent. I wanted the world to fade away and leave just the two of us. I’d missed him more than words could express but I’d also missed my brother and father.I got down from Xander’s body with a little difficulty as he held on to me, unwilling to let me go. When he finally left me, I rushed to my brother and father, pulling them into a hug. My father trembled as he held me. I held back tears.These were the longest months of my life. Even when I lost my memories and forgot myself, even when I first opened my eyes as Selene after being Jane, even w

“Selene, what are you doing here? No, why do you look like that? Is that blood on your face!?” My mother was almost hysterical when she saw me.Her hands wiped blood from my face. Panic reflected in her gaze and it shook her hands.“When did you return? How did you – what happened?”As she bombarded me with questions, I had no chance to explain what had happened before she broke down in tears, hugging me to herself. My mother was not one to be emotional but the stress and tension from all this must have gotten to her. She cried as she held me.The other women she had been leisurely chatting with came to comfort her, one of them patting my back. It took a while before she let me go and allowed me to explain what had happened.Warriors were sent to the house and my mother started to cry again. It was one of her friends that explained the situation to me.“She left the house a few days ago,” the woman said. “We received threats from the Blood Moon pack and they seemed to be aimed at her

It had become my habit to pace my room. Every time I felt nervous, I paced and I was nervous a lot. The information I got was that everything was going well. There were a lot of casualties but the Blood Moon pack suffered the worst hit. It had been a month already and despite my protests, I had no choice but to return to school. I had only seen Xander a couple of times before resumption but now that I was so far away, I never saw him.Even the college atmosphere was tense. With a lot of wolves from Silver Moon and Blood Moon here, there was a certain tension in the air. Outbursts here and there, people giving backhanded comments to strangers just because they figured out they were from rival packs. No one told me but either Xander or my father had assigned bodyguards to me. They followed me at a distance every day and even Seth had noticed.I was currently pacing my little dorm room which now felt wide without Xander in it. We had scheduled calls that helped reassure me that everythin

XANDER’S POVIt was clear that Blood Moon was planning an invasion so it made sense for us to attack first rather than let them come at us and destroy our home. On their land, they would have a greater advantage but on our land, we would be risking everything – our homes included. Selene thought it was best to fight a proxy war but now, all I wanted was to fight on Blood Moon land because I would soon call that land mine.How dare they.How dare they step out of line? How dare Logan target Selene? If I hadn’t been in the car with her that night, things may have escalated as he planned. How dare they look at her and think they could mess with her? How dare they look down on me by trying to abduct my woman? How dare Logan covet my land and my woman. He was a glutton hungry for retribution.Blood Moon had started the attack this morning. Bright and early, I received news that the borders on a completely different side from Blood Moon had been tampered with. They could not breach the bord
Surrounded by Wolves Chapter 92
The air in the pack was tense the next day. Blood Moon had shown hostility to Silver Moon and now, a war was no longer brewing. It was about to be served. The atmosphere was thick with tension as people whispered under their breaths, waiting for what next was to happen. Even the young children who didn’t know anything were looking left and right as they walked with their parents, their underdeveloped senses already catching on to the disturbance in the atmosphere.“We should strike first,” I said to Alpha Liam. “Don’t let them bring the battle to Silver Moon. We will be losing too much.”I always wanted the battle to pass without bloodshed but it was clear that it was inevitable. Blood Moon had it out for us. The age-long wound between our packs had finally festered to the point where it could not be ignored anymore. The limb had to be cut off.“We should annex the pack,” Xander said. “We can’t continue to live with the threat of such a mediocre pack. Let’s wipe them out once and for
