I was right to avoid the Alpha and anything that concerned him. The life I had was too precious to give up for anything.

“Here, have some more meat,” my grandmother took food off her plate and put it in mine. My plate was heaped past the point I could handle but tears filled my eyes at such a loving gesture.

Not only did I have parents, I also had grandparents! Check that out! My father’s parents heard that I had been unwell so they came the next morning to see me. My grandfather came lugging several bags of designer clothes and my grandmother baked my favorite pie. It was a blessed life.

“My baby, are you hurt?” Tears filled my eyes just from all the love I was experiencing so right there in the dining room with my new family, I burst into tears. My grandparents both rushed to get out their handkerchiefs to wipe my tears. How could a person loved this much be a villain!?

“I – I love you guys!” I exclaimed.

The entire room went silent. Even Ethan who had been ignoring me as he stuffed his face stopped chewing. Apparently, he just got back from college and was eating as though he had never eaten in his life. It was disgusting and he was annoying.

“Oh, baby,” my grandmother was the one who broke the silence. She dropped the handkerchief and pulled me into a tight hug. “We love you, too, honey.”

After that, there was a chorus of ‘I love yous’ from my new family except Ethan who looked at me as if I had grown horns.

“Did you eat something weird or do you have brain damage?” He asked.

“Ethan, don’t be mean to your sister,” my father said.

“I’m being dead serious right now,” he countered. “You are acting like you’ve done something awful and want to hide it. What is it this time? Did you kill someone?”

“No but I had a scary dream and I realize I have taken all that I have for granted. I realize that family is the most important so I must cherish you guys and not act like a spoiled brat,” I answered.

“Spoiled brat? You mean evil –“ He didn’t get to finish his words as my father cut in.

“You’re my princess. You can act however you like and we would still love you.”

As the Beta of this pack, I wasn’t so sure he would continue to love me if I did things that endangered the Alpha but I nodded anyway.

We had a satisfying breakfast and my grandparents sat around as I opened the presents they brought for me. I spent the whole day chatting with my grandparents and mother as my father had to go to work and Ethan had to train.

The next day, three girls came to see me with tears in their eyes. They were the fakest set of friends to ever exist and even I, with no friends in my previous life, could see through their bullshit as they gathered around me.

Are these – Are these Selene’s friends?’ I asked my wolf.

These are more YOUR followers than friends. Don’t forget you’re Selene now.’ My wolf, Grace said. ‘Of the three of them, only Bella has a brain in her head. The other ones only follow you since they can’t outrightly bully the women involved with the Alpha’s son so you do it for them.’

So an evil fan club with me being the active head. Marvelous.

“Selly,” one of the girls came and plopped herself beside me without care for my personal space. “We heard you were in a car crash. Are you okay?”

“I’m fine,” I responded with a wide smile.

It was a crash I did not remember because it wasn’t me and it happened three days ago. What sort of friends only visited now? Three days after an accident?

“Why are you smiling so much?” She placed a hand on my forehead. “Are you ill?”

“What Alpha wolf falls ill?” Another of the girls came and sat on my other side so that I was boxed in. “Is it because of Xander? I heard he came home with a girl and everyone is saying she’s his mate.”

“Oh em geee, did you get in an accident to get Xander’s attention?” The other girl shrieked into my ear, forcing me to flinch away. “That – that’s genius but did he come to see you?”

“It wasn’t an accident so bad that he needed to come all the way here,” the third and final one, the one Grace called Bella said. “Also, Selly isn’t the kind of person who’d endanger herself for attention.”

“Right?” I answered with a stiff laugh. “It was an accident and as for – what’s his name, yeah, Xander, I am over him so why would I do such a thing for his attention?” There was a brief silence that followed my words before loud guffaws.

The three girls bent over and screamed with laughter so loud and hard that I went from confused to feeling insulted and then amused because the sound of their laughter was all over the place. As I joined in on the fun and started laughing, they all stopped.

“What’s wrong with you?” Bella was the first to speak.

“What do you mean?” I asked and they all shared a secret look that had me feeling left out.

“What do you mean by being over Xaander? You can’t be over him,” the girl seated to my left said as Bella, standing in front of us, crossed her arms.

“You would rather die than lose Xander to another woman so how can you say you are over him?” The one to my right asked. “It’s not funny. It just makes me think you might have a brain concussion.”

“Is it that weird that I would give up on him?” I asked and the girl’s eyes widened.

“Of course, it is ridiculous!” The two beside me exploded.

“You’ve been in love with him your whole life! How can you say you’ve given up on him?”

“You even put in all that effort to get into his uni, staying up into the night every night to prepare for your exams and interview! You are telling me you suddenly gave up on him after getting in?”

“What – he just doesn’t do it for me anymore!” I exclaimed.

It was frustrating that I could not blurt out the fact that this was a book and that the last thing I wanted was to continue on the path of an evil villainess that ends up doomed. No one would believe me because even I found it hard to believe myself!

I had to live, okay? And in a world where everyone was drop dead gorgeous, including my grandparents who should have been old and wrinkly, I knew that without a doubt, I would meet many hot guys so why risk my neck for one?

“How can you say that? Xander is the most perfect man in the world! How can you say he doesn’t cut it for you?” The girl to my left looked at me with accusatory eyes as if I was blasphemous. The eyes were hot to the point they got me scared.

The most perfect man in the world? Yeah, only a book’s male protagonist could be described as such.

“Maybe she found her mate,” Bella rescued me, a curious look in her eyes.

“Mate?” The other two turned to me.

“Yes, my mate!” I exclaimed. I almost forgot this was a world of predestined mates. “I have a feeling I’d find my mate soon and I know it’s not him so – I lost all feelings for him!” I lied through my teeth. It didn’t convince them.

“Was there ever such a thing?” Bella asked with a frown. “Is it possible to sense your mate before meeting them?”

“Maybe? But I can’t explain it. It is just how I feel,” I murmured.

“It makes sense. Your mate bond must be strong. I wish you all the best with your mate when you find them,” Bella said.

The girls beside me bit their lips in deep thought, they brows scrunched together. Whatever they said, I was already determined to detach from the plot of this story and live a good life with my loving family.

“Let’s change the subject. I can’t believe you would ever get over Xander,” the girl to my right said.

“Right, Amy? I can’t believe it either. Anyway, what are you wearing to the party tomorrow? Shall we go shopping?”

There was a party?

I didn’t know about any party but I pretended to so I just shook my head.

“There’s no need to go shopping. My grandparents bought me some great clothes so I’d wear one of them.” They looked at me like I grew another head again.

“You – You want to wear what your granny picked out?” Amy was shocked.

“Why not?” I glared at her and she flinched.

“R – right. If you say so – uh – then tomorrow then, we’ll see you at the party.”

In my past life, I lived so cautiously because of my sickness but now, I was not only healthy, I was also a werewolf! Living recklessly was out of the question but now, I could live a bit more freely than before.

That was what I thought when I decided to go to the party in the pack house. Alas, it ended up being a grand mistake.

  • 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

    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! Stop going t

    “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

  • Surrounded by Wolves   Chapter 95

    “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
