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

The next day, I was walking to class when I saw Xander, this time, with another girl. She was beautiful with thick, long black hair and a cute baby face. When she saw me looking at her, her brows raised and she stepped closer to Xander. My wolf sneered and I turned my head away. Did he go back to his playboy lifestyle? Did he even stop in the first place? I wanted so badly to go up to him and demand answers but I had no right to do that. I rejected him so I had no right to ask anything of him. I got to class with a few minutes to spare and as usual, I took a seat beside Seth. The seats were not assigned but we had gotten to the point in the semester where everyone had chosen the seat they would use for each class and mine was the same from the very first day. “How was your weekend?” Seth asked as I dropped my bag beside me. “It was shit,” I answered, bringing out my books. “How was yours?” “Weren’t you meeting up with your family?” He asked. “What happened?” I had all but

“You want me to – what do you want me to do?” He asked after I dropped those cryptic words. “I want you – Please listen to me,” I said, trying to make sure he did not run away as soon as I mentioned my absurd plans. “It’s quite weird but please, just give it a thought, okay?” “You are making me anxious.” To buttress his point, he twirled the ring on his thumb. “What is it.” “Can we pretend to date?” I rushed out before I lost my morale. “Please,” I added. “It’s –“ He was silent for a long time. During that time, he must have heard my heart trying to beat out of my chest but he said nothing, simply fixed his eyes on the table in front of him, his teeth tearing into his bottom lip. “That came out of nowhere, huh?” I asked when the silence threatened to drown me. “If you are uncomfortable, I understand. It’s quite silly of me, hahaha.” To alleviate the awkwardness, I made things even worse by yapping. “It’s just a weird thought but I was hoping you would give me a chance but it’s al
Surrounded by Wolves Chapter 36
“Oh, hi, Xander,” I said, holding Seth’s hand a bit tighter. “Fancy seeing you here.”“That hand.” Xander ignored my greeting as he gestured to my hand in Seth’s. “That hand…”“What hand?” I pretended to be oblivious. “Anyway, Seth, do you remember Xander?” I turned to look up at Seth. He was a very bad actor, staring at me with a blank expression. “He’s the next Alpha of Silver Moon. Xander, this is my boyfriend, Seth.”“Boy – boyfriend?” The glass in his hand shattered and beer spilled everywhere.I flinched in surprise and stiffened when Seth put his hand around my shoulder and pulled me to his body. He was even stiffer. I was sorry to be doing this to Seth because he seemed genuinely uncomfortable.“Since when did you have a boyfriend?” He asked. No, his tone was much closer to a snarl as he glared at my hands in Seth’s. “Selene, we need to talk.”“What about?” I asked with feigned innocence. “Oh, where’s your girlfriend? Not here today?” I looked around for the giggling girl alwa
