Surrounded by Wolves Chapter 41
“Oh goddess, what the hell is happening,” I whispered to myself as I perceived the foul stench that my wolf recognized immediately as belonging to rogues. ‘Why are there rogues on school grounds?’ Grace asked in a panic. ‘And a lot of them at that!’ “Calm down,” Xander said, holding my hands when I started to tremble. Since I entered this world, I had encountered a lot of foul people and odours. I had encountered people with foul odors but never had I perceived anything like this. This must be what rotten corpses smelt like. My wolf was revolted in a way I couldn’t put into words and when the smell became more pungent, I knew the rogues were advancing. “They can smell us,” I whispered. “Shall we shift?” Once again, I was filled with regret. I vowed to train Grace so we would not be caught in a disadvantageous position yet again but I got so consumed with college and college work that I neglected my training. If I shifted, I should be able to take down a rogue or two thank

“Don’t go.” I stayed around as he showered and changed into loose clothes. The wound on his side had reopened yet again so I went to my room to get a first aid kit to dress the wound. There was still blood on me from hugging his bloody wolf and the rogue stench was killing me. I wanted desperately to go wash off and change out of these clothes but Xander held onto me with a whine. “I have to change out of my clothes,” I said. “I’ll check back once days breaks although I’m certain your injury wound be healed by then.”“Don’t leave me all alone, please.” He did not let go of my wrist as he begged me not to go. “You can wash here and borrow a shirt. Please, don’t leave me all alone.” Did he get traumatized? Why was he clingy all of a sudden? I touched his forehead to see if he had developed a fever. He pressed his face against my palm, holding my wrist and nuzzling his face against my wrist even after I confirmed his temperature was not high.“Xander, I feel dirty and disgusted
Surrounded by Wolves Chapter 43
“Ha.” I panted as my heart rate went through the roof. His teeth sunk into my skin and my wolf went into a frenzy. I did not dare move – no, I could not even move. All I could do was to clutch the sheets underneath me to ground myself. A few seconds passed before he retracted his teeth and after that, heat pooled in my guts. My scattered brain reminded me to breathe and when I sucked in a breath, it caught in my throat. Fireworks erupted inside me as a fire roared in my guts. What the hell? Why did I want to cling to him and beg him to bite me again? I swallowed to moisten my dry throat and I ended up clutching his shirt in a fierce grip when he raised his head. “What – what did you do?” I gasped out, still holding him as one would a fugitive. Why was my entire body trembling so much? It felt like I had been set on fire and the part where his teeth proved me tingled deliciously, “You said I could bite you so I did.” There was a predatory smile on his lips and his dark eyes

Being in a relationship came with its perks, one of them being that every morning, I opened my eyes to see the most beautiful man in this world next to me. Yes, I spent every night cuddling with Xander because he was surprisingly very clingy and while I pretended to mind, I actually loved it. I loved the feeling of being loved. It was so beautiful that meeting up with Xander every day became the highlight of my day. Since we were both busy students, we had a lot of things to do during the day but at the end of the day when I went over to his room or he came over to mine, the world faded away and I could just lay on his chest – my favorite place – and tell him about my day or listen to him rant. There was just one problem. It was a major problem called Ethan who, although did not know about our relationship, was suspicious and bothered us a lot. Like, a whole lot. It was tiring sneaking around and while Xander said, ‘fuck it,’ I knew that my father would kick up a storm if he knew

“I’m looking at you weird?” He stopped a breath inch from my face. I gave a subtle nod to his question and he hummed. “It’s because I’m thinking of you weird, right now.” He placed his hand beside my head, effectively trapping me between him and the elevator. “Can I kiss you?” He asked and my eyes closed. He did not have to ask twice. Immediately, his lips pressed against mine and his tongue probed my slightly parted lips. There was no time for me to catch a breath as his tongue slipped into my mouth. He took his time with the kiss, his tongue exploring my mouth in a slow kiss that carried a definite hunger. It was like he was holding himself back which was unlike him. The Xander I knew was always eager as if he feared missing out on something. Warmth unfurled in my stomach and I snaked my arms around his neck, eliminating the last bit of space between us. He pulled his lips from mine and I gasped, sucking in a sharp breath, having been hyperventilating until then. His wet

“It’s your birthday this weekend,” Xander said as he kissed down my neck, his hand on my stomach. I shivered as he drew circles on my bare stomach.“Y – yeah,” I sighed.I shared the same birthday with my father and he had not stopped begging me to come home to celebrate. “You should clear your schedule for the weekend,” Xander said, his hand moving up, his face still in my neck.“O – Oh.” I shivered as he nibbled on my skin, his fingers circling my nipples. “You should have told me earlier because I already – already planned to go home.”He pulled away so abruptly, I felt like I’d been tossed from a mountaintop. I wanted to weep as he pulled away.“You’re going home?” He asked, almost pouting.Even that small gesture made my stomach tighten. I wrapped my hands around his neck and pulled him into a kiss. Like a viper waiting to strike, he immediately deepened the kiss. He kissed me hard and I had to swallow back a moan.It was a lot. Holding back was a lot but I didn’t know how to let

I wanted to die a hundred and one times. When my gaze met my mother’s, I wanted to die faster.“Shit.”Xander yanked my clothes down since I’d been frozen in time, waiting for the ground to open up and swallow me. When he put me down, I almost fell so he had to grab me and hold onto me.The people gathered around stood with dazed expressions on their faces with my mother in the middle holding a cake and my grandparents holding a happy birthday banner. Even the Alpha was present with a few other older pack members.There was a chance the whole room saw my boobs. I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me whole but the ground remained firm underneath me.“Ahem,” Xander was the first to break the silence. “Hey guys,” he greeted.It was so awkward that I could not stop myself from pinching his side.“Um, hello.” It was my grandmother who spoke first, her face still devoid of colour.“Xander, quick, come here!” My mother shouted. “Quick!”“Oh - okay.” With the urgency in her voice, he m

I woke up to my family singing the Happy Birthday song. My mother, father, grandparents and even my brother came into my room at noon with smiles on their faces. Ethan had arrived in the opening while I was asleep. “Thanks, guys,” I was all smiles as I blew the candles on my cake. “What did you wish for?” My father asked and I responded with another smile. “I can’t tell you what I wished for or it won’t come true.” In truth, I had not wished for anything. Everything that I had wished for in the past, I now had in front of me. A birthday celebration, a family to celebrate with and a body that worked. Everything was much more than I had even wished for. The only thing I wanted in life, to be able to dream of a future with Xander, was impossible so I wished for nothing. I was happy so I basked in that happiness. When they excused me to get started for the day, I quickly grabbed my phone and called Xander who had left several missed calls on my cell while I slept. “Hello?” H

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
Surrounded by Wolves Chapter 99
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
Surrounded by Wolves Chapter 98
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
Surrounded by Wolves Chapter 93
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
