Surrounded by Wolves Chapter 26
“Selene!” Ethan continued to yell.“Oh, goddess.” Without looking, I shut the door of my wardrobe after squeezing Xander into it and then I rushed to the door. “What?” I exclaimed as I ripped the door open.“Dad wants to know –“ Ethan paused mid-sentence and gave me a look filled with enough suspicion to have me trembling.My mind was still reeling from the emotions from earlier. I feared my lips were swollen and my skin was flushed enough to expose me.“Dad wants to know what?” I demanded when Ethan stayed silent for too long.No matter how natural I tried to act, there was no way he could not hear my heart trying to beat away from my chest. I hoped he would not comment on that but knowing Ethan, I knew my luck was slim. What he chose to comment on was much worse.“Why do you smell – like that?” He wrinkled his nose and I died a little inside.What the hell did I smell like? I wanted to sniff myself but caught myself right in time for his next words.“Do you have someone in there?” H

“Oh, Xander is here.” Bella gave me a dirty look. “Hi, Xander. It’s been a while.” She smiled at him. His response was a grunt. “Uh, Xander was just leaving.” I gave him a pointed look that he ignored at first but I continued to glare at him. “He came over to drop something off but he’s on his way out.” I glared harder. “Right, I was on my way out.” He side-eyed Bella who had a bemused look on her face. I could understand her expression. Xander was showing obvious displeasure at her appearance. “See you tomorrow then,” he said, and then - then he leaned into me. For an awful second, his face drew nearer to mine and my heart stopped and I thought he was about to kiss me. Thankfully, his lips only landed on my cheek and when he pulled back, he had a satisfied look on his face. Bella on the other hand, had her jaw on the ground. When the door closed behind him, Bella could start talking fast enough. “Tell me – tell me everything, right now!” Words spilled from her mouth and a

It was not enough that he put a hand on my thigh, he started to squeeze. Shocked, I raised my head and met eyes staring at me with as much shock as I felt. Regaining my senses, I pretended to have just noticed their presence. “Oops, it seems I have interrupted your meeting. I’ll be on my way then, sorry!” I apologized to the men and turned to place a kiss on Xander’s lips while my heart thumped. It was part of my seemingly grand plan, to kiss him in front of everyone while pretending to know nothing but things were not going my way. Rather than embarrassing him, I was turning out to be the one being embarrassed. The short kiss turned into something else as he placed a hand behind my head and pressed my face to his, deepening the kiss. It was nothing short of being eaten. There was no other way to describe it. He devoured my lips and I was too stunned to react. I just sat there – on his thighs in the presence of the other men – letting him devour my lips. When he pulled away, h
Surrounded by Wolves Chapter 29
Disturbed as I was about the next step with Xander, it was no surprise I struggled with sleep. A week had passed but despite avoiding him, it was hard to get him off my mind and it was especially so that night. It was already three in the morning and I was left with my thoughts, heavy eyes that would not close, and an insane amount of thoughts that had no conclusions. When I heard a knock on my door, I figured it was my imagination. Who would come to knock at such an ungodly hour? When the knock came again, I forced my heavy body out of bed and went to get the door. “Who is it?” My tired mind was opening the door before I got a response and on the other side of the door stood the object of my sleepless night. “What are you doing here, Xander?” I asked, all the exhaustion I felt resonating in my tone. “Can I come in?” He was brushing past me before my groggy brain had time to process his request. “Wait –“ He was inside already so I just resigned myself to closing the door behin

“Are you asleep!?” A dumpy woman with beady eyes, no neck, and a mean glare yelled at me. “No, I’m not,” I answered in the most cheerful tone I could muster but her mean glare persisted. Despite how heavy and sluggish my body felt, life went on. I had to go to classes and the clinic. Classes were starting to pick up and I was feeling more and more left behind so there was no option to slack off even a bit. The woman in front of me was one of many people today destined to make my life a little harder. As if I was not tired enough, I had to deal with a woman with such an ugly personality. “Did you not hear me when I said I am unsatisfied with the service provided here? Why were you quiet then?” The woman screamed at me. “I am sorry you feel that way, ma’am,” I answered in a tone as sincere as possible. “We are particular about providing the best care for our patients so…” “Best care!?” She yelled. “Did I hear you say the best care? Luke has been in pain for so long! He is su

XANDER’S POV‘I pretended to still be into you because I wanted you to leave me alone.’A week later, those words haunted me even in my dreams. I had engaged in a fair share of stupid things but I never thought I was someone stupid enough to fall for false seduction. I never expected to be involved in false seduction, simple. Yet, now that I thought things through, the signs had been obvious. She insisted she was done with me but out of nowhere, she was all over me again. Was I simply too ecstatic to doubt her or was it pride? I never wanted to believe she would toss me aside so when she rushed back into my arms, I thought she first pretended to have lost interest. My pride did not allow me to imagine she was faking her new interest. “Is this what heartbreak feels like?” I muttered to myself, absentmindedly flipping through my handout. “Hey, man, are you good?” I raised my head from my handout to see concerned gazes aimed at me. “Huh?” I was so out of it, I did not know how

“My Princess.” My father squeezed me to himself with all his might. “Ah, you’re suffocating me, Dad!” I screamed with a red face and the last breath I had in me. He continued to squeeze me for an extra one or two seconds before he let me go, holding me at arm’s length with tears in his eyes. “Selly, why have you been ignoring me?” He asked, still holding me at arm’s length. “I have called, texted, and even sent mails but you never once replied to me!” “Dad, I’m busy, okay.” I tried shrugging off his hands on my shoulders so I could avoid his gaze from the guilt eating at me but he didn’t let me. His grip was strong and his eyes were staring deep into my soul trying to intensify my guilt. “Seb, you’re attracting a crowd,” my mother, the only reasonable person in my family, said. The others at the restaurant’s parking lot were looking at us and Ethan was standing a good distance away, pretending not to know us. “Let’s go inside. We can have this conversation inside.” My mother’s w

I paused mid-way through opening my door and just – I just stared at them. He had his hand around her waist and he leaned down to whisper something into her ear. She giggled some more. It was the most annoying sound I ever heard in my life. “Oh, hi, Selene,” Xander greeted when he raised his head. My eyes moved from the girl in his arms to him. His face was bright as if he had just discovered the most precious thing in the world. His eyes were alive, those eyes that I had thought often of were alive because of the girl in his arms. It was just the other day that he said he liked me so who was this new girl? Had his words been lies? Or was it so fast for people to move on? Why did it feel like the centre of my world had been titled and I was now on the verge of falling through time and space? Why did my eyes sting and why was my throat so dry? “Who is she?” The girl in his arms asked when he greeted me and I didn’t respond. Her tone was filled with possessiveness and even tho

Surrounded by Wolves Epilogue
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

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
