Semua Bab Surrounded by Wolves: Bab 21 - Bab 30

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

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

‘Should I just run away?’ I asked my wolf when I met Xander leaning against my door when I got home. ‘That’s an awful idea,’ Grace said with a snort. ‘I’m listening.’ ‘Did my strategy fail? Why does he seem to be getting clingy?’ He spotted me while I thought of turning my back and going the way I came and because I was still pretending to be infatuated with him, I beamed at him and skipped towards him. “Babyyy,” I called the cringe nickname I now reserved for him as I rose on my tiptoes to kiss his cheeks. I was tall but a male lead is a male lead so he had to be unusually tall. “Why are you here?” I asked. “Do you not want me to be here?” He asked back and I grinned to hide my scowl. Was he onto my bullshit? Perhaps he was doing all this to frustrate me but because I could not drop my act without seeing even the slightest bit of progress, I continued to play along. It was a decision that turned dangerous with time. “No, I am both surprised and happy. Do you want to c

“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

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
