All Chapters of Surrounded by Wolves: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

I didn’t know what to expect the next time I saw Lily but I had not expected open hostility. The female protagonist looked at me like she wanted the ground underneath to open up and swallow me whole. It was a lot different from how she always looked at me and I suppose it was to be expected. There was not much to be surprised about, really.“Hey, Lily…” I was going to talk to her, to apologize to her because no matter what, a part of me still felt guilty but she entered her room and slammed the door shut. It was not before I heard a sob crack in her throat.“Are you still trying to be friends with her?” Xander asked as he opened the door. “You told me you didn’t have any more interest in her. I hope you were telling the truth, Selene.” There was a warning in his tone.“I was going to apologize,” I said as I stared at Lily’s door. “She seems upset but there’s nothing I can do.”“Stop worrying about her,” he said.It was futile to continue to worry about Lily. I already decided that we

Despite paying attention as I asked him to, there was no suspicious movement from either Lily or the Blood Moon pack. Xander told me I was overestimating Lily and that no matter what the Blood Moon pack planned, they were not strong enough to be a serious threat to Silver Moon. They would tread with care if they cared for their pack’s safety.I was not a political genius and couldn’t say I was particularly knowledgeable about the politics of this world so I trusted him and let things go to the back of my mind.Examinations rolled by and then the semester came to an end. My first exams were brutal and met me crying more often than not. I was happier than anyone else to see them go but it fueled my determination to take my studies seriously. If I was already under so much pressure when it was only my first year, I couldn’t say how bad it would get in the future.“You’re home.” My father came to greet me as I got out of the car.“Hello, Beta Seb,” Xander greeted him but he completely ign

“Selene,” Alpha Liam greeted me with an enormous smile on his face that made Amy and Bella uncomfortable.“Good Afternoon, Alpha,” they both greeted him, lowering their gazes as a sign of respect.Amy had her hands clasped together in front of her in a tight grip to stop them from quivering while Bella didn’t raise her eyes even after Alpha Liam accepted their greetings with a gracious smile.“To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?” Alpha Liam asked, putting down his pen.He must have been excited to see me since he was even taking time off work to give me an audience despite how I barged into his office without an appointment.“Have you heard there are dissenters in the pack?” His playful smile fell from his lips.“There are what?” He asked, tone harder than rocks and eyes terrifyingly red.“Dissenters,” I said. “In this pack.”&ldq

Lily was no longer in Silver Moon but I heard she was now in Blood Moon. It confirmed my suspicion that she was in cahoots with Logan. The enforcers at the borders had confirmed they saw her around the border, close enough to our pack but not quite in it. She must be hoping to glimpse Xander who was currently inspecting some borders. It was as if she heard and thought she could run into him and perhaps plead her case. I couldn’t say what was going on in her mind and couldn’t concern myself too much with it as my attention was now on halting her next plans.Since Alpha Liam addressed the rumours, there had been a fast decline in how people talked trash about Xander. To improve his image, he was doing a lot more public work and it was putting a strain on him but he went on with it with a rock-hard face and pretended he wasn’t exhausted.The damages done by the rumours were inevitable. It was not as severe as Lily would wish but for the first time, some

LILY’S POVWhen Logan said that once Xander’s reputation was at stake, he was sure to be dissatisfied with Selene which would cause them to grow apart and ultimately break up, I didn’t know that it would work. I had hoped it would but I naturally had my doubts.For the past week, Logan had been doing things he didn’t tell me and even the atmosphere around his pack was tense. I didn’t know what was happening and no matter how often I asked, Logan only told me not to bother him so I let the matter be. It wasn’t my pack, after all.I tried to reach out to Xander to make sure he didn’t completely forget about me while we were apart but he rebuffed me.I was in the guest room of the pack house when my phone rang. It was one girl who had become my 'friend.’ I used the term ‘friend’ loosely because she didn’t really like me. She was just with me because she hated Selene. You know they say the enemy of your enemy is your friend and Sarah was just like that. She had no personality, no interest
