'What the fuck is wrong with me? Why do I feel so weird around her? Jeez, she should not affect me like that.'
Zander stared at his reflection in the restroom. He had his hands placed on the slab of the basin while his dark retina eyed at his own self in the mirror.
This was not a new thing for Zander. Such acts have become inevitable on his part ever since it is revealed that Valen was his mate. He cannot stop himself from getting influenced by her antics.
'She can't be mine. Nor is she my mate then why can't I cease myself from falling for her. Gosh, I will go crazy. This girl and her antics are driving me nuts. I need to get a hold on myself.'
Zander sighed as he wondered about his varying behaviour softly, making sure that he was not thinking loud enough for others to catch him.
It was crazy. It indeed was. The girl whom he despised in the beginning has started playing with his senses all of a sudden. She was nobody but a mere human yet her affect on him was real strong. But it should not be. She was not supposed to attract him nor was he supposed to get influenced by her moves. This was unacceptable to feel that way not because she was a human but because she was his friend's mate. And Zander had legit seen Ryley put his life at risk just to save her.
"Alright, huh..." He splattered water on his face and wiped his skin with the back of sleeves. "Time to act like the typical Zander."
He looked at himself in the mirror for one last time before dashing out of the restroom.

In the canteen,
Chattering suddenly died as and when Zander Brown, the member of Bully gang (the wild wolves gang) gave his appearance in the canteen.
All the eyeballs moved in his direction watching him slowly walk towards their corner table while his hands rested pocketed inside his jeans.
The juniors assumed it must be a great academic year because the bully gang was in their last year of school. They were supposed to go to the university this year, weren't they? Many of the wolves sitting in the canteen wondered about the same question while gulping their saliva of anxiousness.
Everyone remembered what happened in the first month of school last year. They killed an innocent girl. Nobody would want to mess with them. Not even when they have separated.
Yeah, they have separated, haven't they? Hazel went back to Armenia with her father after her mate (Vivian) died. The others went their ways as well because the leader of their gang aka the alpha's son and the future Alpha Ryley Shine chose his human mate over Hazel who loved him more than anything. They have scattered like the coins on the carrom board that was hit by a striker.
"I don't think we need to fear them any more. The Wild Wolves have dismantled I reckon." Zander stopped in his mid track, he took his time and enjoyed the increasing tension in the canteen before he moved around to look at the guy who stated that.
He gave him a small mysterious grin, "You think so?" He arched a brow, while there, behind the guy's table the wild wolves gang entered hence skipping everyone's heart beats.

(There are a lot of things that come from book 1, so it's recommended to read it before you begin this journey. A lot of flashback segments are going to appear that have to deal with the first book, that's why I would suggest you pick up the first book first. And I hope you liked this chapter. Thanks for reading and don't forget to comment and give five stars please.)
5Fiery poured over Zander's face while his shoulders tensed up in a spooky manner. He looked normal in his black clothes. Even then everyone could imagine him as a devil with fire igniting out of his skull with melted skin and shoulders, like red hot filaments, as it is seen in the movie Ghost Rider.The horrors of everyone's faces came visible in the bright room as they saw the other bullies standing behind Zander while one of them (Ryley) walked toward the corner table and settled down there.Poor guy who just expressed his mere thought tightened his shoulders and held his breaths as he could see his death standing across him."You were saying something buddy, weren't you?" Zander bent forward such that his facade was near the poor guy's ear while he sweated badly.He took a deep breath and raised his shivery arm to wipe his forehead, "I..
6“You said something, Valentine?” Zander shifted his gaze as well as grunts towards Valen while he walked further until her table.The girls who were sitting with Valen on her table fled from there not before mouthing an apology. Everyone sat scared in the canteen except for Valen!She twisted her mouth with an ‘I don’t care!’ look on her face. Valen behaved like really she was not frightened by the bully Zander and his dark eyes that were staring at her perilously.While others assumed that her courage came just because she was the mate to the future Alpha, Valen stood to her grounds without thinking about Ryley at all. For her, he was one of them. No matter what.What was wrong was wrong in her perspective. She was acting like that not because she was the mate to his best friend but because it was freaking wrong! First da
7Zander's POV"No, Alpha, I mean... Yes, alpha." Clarke and Yeoman coughed together, after I answered with fumbling.They are my friends but they don't leave any moment to tease me. However, I am no less than a jerk. My one dark glare shot in their direction, as they were standing beside each other, shut them up.They innocently looked at the floor as if they never coughed. Trust me, if it had been a different moment then I must have banged their heads with a baseball bat, my hands were tied with the invisible ropes of obedience as we were standing in front of the alpha of our pack.I would not have minded to bang their heads across the Principal if he were alone. Who cares about his presence? Not me."Anyways," I had to brush away all the thoughts and focus back on alpha's word as he ki
8Reyne stacked her clothes in the little closet she was rewarded with. She had wondered that she might have to sew herself a cloth bag to keep her clothes like previously. But excitement hit her hard when she realized that she not only was given a bedroom but also a little bit of furniture that was enough for her.
9… “This is the pack house?” looking at the huge mansion standing before her, tall and massive, Reyne’s pupils closely scrutinized it in awe and bewilderment. Just like her new house, this was another outstanding building she saw on the same day. She never observed such a big pack house in her intact life. With a nice garden before the building, the big mansion attained tough across her view. She was admiring every stone of it while her father said, “This is not a pack house. This house belongs to the alpha alone.” her face snapped in his direction as eyes shockingly stared at him. Mr. Stark moved to see his daughter's face with a grimacing facade, “Reyne, in this pack, every wolf and his family is allotted a new house of his own. The concept of 'One pack house, hundred of members' is not followed here. This is the finest pack and most advanced in America." She moved her eyes back at the big building. She came from a poor family with a strict father. They kept travelling from pa
10… "Alpha." Hari Stark curtsied before Alpha Hercules, so did his beautiful daughter, Reyne. Alpha Hercules amusingly smiled. He fed his eyes with a view of Reyne's beautiful facade and her impressive presentation. She respectfully bowed down before him like a lady of a big house. She held her knee length frock from the sides and expertly curtsied like she had taken a class to master it. "Mr. Stark, have a seat please. You too, my beautiful girl." Reyne smiled hesitantly, she looked at her father for approval and sat next to him after he gave her a nod of permission. While her eyes admired the finely designed hall of the alpha's house, the Alpha occupied himself with the job of admiring her. Hari Stark noticed it. He clenched his jaw tight as frustration grew deep and strong in his chest. His daughter was again presenting herself in a manner she should not. He had warned her. Told her to not do anything but no, Reyne never listened. She was a stupid teenage girl who needed a
11"Wow, you are talented along with being beautiful, dear." Luna Garnet complimented Reyne after having seen the plating she did.Reyne smiled, feeling delighted, "Thanks so much, ma'am."She was in the luxurious kitchen of Alpha Hercules' house, helping his mate, Luna Garnet, in the kitchen. She was getting bored, sitting between the elders while they discussed their residence and other important stuff. Reyne was feeling low on her spirit but then Luna occurred and asked for a helping hand that she gladly offered.It barely took some time for them to get used to each other after coming inside the kitchen, and the ladies were enjoying it already."Where did you learn this?" The Luna asked, looking at the nicely decorated muffins."From the internet!" Reyne answered as she followed Luna's gaze.
12...At night,"Why aren't you joining those girls there?" Lifting his head from his beer glass, with an arched brow, Zander watched Valen poke him on his right hand's bicep.He bit the corner of his mouth whilst trying hard to resist her presence around him, "Why would I join them, huh?" he asked in return as he looked at a bunch of three hot girls moving their hips on the dance floor."I wonder why not?" He heard it coming from her mouth. "You look like a dumbfuck playboy. I can only wonder why are you sitting here and not hitting on those girls!" With his jaw dropping in shock, Zander glared at her angrily as he finally realized why she had even come to see him in the corner of the club in the first place."Just go away before I ruin your makeup with a hard punch. Do you want me to do that?" He threatened her, and that was enough for Valen to know that his threa
