You Re All Surrounded Novels & Stories

"Aurora, you have to try this. Let's lay down here." Compelled by his joy, I joined him, and immediately, the same light enveloped us, accompanied by the soothing sound. The experience was surreal; the warmth and the melody felt as if we were being embraced by Mother Earth herself. "What is this?" I marveled, overwhelmed by the sensation of warmth and the sound that seemed to cradle us in a comforting embrace.

This leaves the five of us completely surrounding Jamari in a protective circle, ready to defend our mate until our last breaths. A giggle suddenly erupts in my mind, the sweet tinkling sound coming from Jamari to my right. I turn my head slightly, eyeing her from the side of my eyes and watch as amusement starts to dance in her eyes. ‘I love the idea of being surrounded by the five of you.’ Her husky voice says through our mind link, making me wonder if she addressed it only to me or to the others as well.

I didn't dared to look up at any of them who loomed over me like foreboding shadows. I could hear the elderly man speaking, but turned him out as I thought about my future. Claus was beside me, with Cassius on other side of me. Vees stood right behind me and somehow I could feel his ripped muscles against my back. I reminded myself to breathe. Ezra was next to Veles and Theodore was on other side. I felt surrounded. I was surrounded.

No, we're not a couple; we're best friends through thick and thin, and that's just the kind of bond we share. With her voice rising above the chatter, she starts chanting my name with enthusiasm and confidence, setting the rhythm and pulling the spotlight towards me. "Sabrina!" "Sabrina!" "Sabrina!" Her voice echoes, becoming a rallying cry that bounces off the walls, building momentum and drawing the crowd into a contagious chorus. Pretty soon, everyone in the room joins in synchronously, enveloping me in a sweeping wave of encouragement. It's as if the entire room becomes a part of my personal pep squad.

she says quietly, “we had to come straight away.” Aiden moves in behind them, standing beside his mother and sister. He gives me a small, reassuring smile. “Glad to see you looking better, Zar.” Royal Gamma Greyson stands against the far wall, arms folded. He watches everything without saying a word, but he gives me a respectful nod. “It is good to see you all,” I manage. This is strange. The last few days have been so full of people, so full of worry and touch and attention. It is overwhelming. I am not used to being surrounded like this. Not by people who actually care.

Then he inclines his head, acknowledging our efforts without a word raising his hands in defeat and backing away. Lilith smirks, Faye laughs softly, Sora exhales quietly, Aurora leans back, Isolde and Ivy exchange an imperceptible nod, and Celeste adjusted herself on the floor. We have survived the first round, but the awareness of constant evaluation lingers. The instructor nods once. “Again tomorrow. Better impress me”

I took a sharp breath, and in an instant, an indescribable fragrance rushed into my nostrils. The short walk to her door felt like trekking through fire. Every step was a blur of excitement and agonizing tension. In the haze, I heard Demi whisper, "Sir, you're burning up." I licked my dry lips and grunted, "Pretty sure you're the one who's burning. You're rubbing off on me." Demi let out a faint chuckle and retorted, "No, it's definitely you…" As she spoke, her hand slipped inside the collar of my shirt.

Something between both. Distorted. Wrong. Every warrior snapped into position instantly, forming a defensive line around Julia and George. The sound came again. Closer this time. Julia’s heart beat faster, but her voice remained steady. “Don’t chase it. That’s what it wants.” A branch snapped to the east. Then another to the west. Too coordinated. Too intentional. George growled low. “We’re being surrounded.” Julia stepped forward slightly, her gaze sharp. “No. Not surrounded.”

And for some reason… They were all smiling widely. Time seemed to slow. The one in the middle moved first. Before I could react, he was already at my side, pulling me into a tight embrace. “You’re awake,” he breathed, his voice filled with relief and emotions. I stiffened immediately, discomfort crawling through me. Who was he? Why was he hugging me so tightly? The other two stepped closer, standing by the bed, both watching me with wide smiles like they had just been given the best news of their lives.

The weight of it presses on me, like a thousand chains wrapping around my chest. “You’re not alone in this,” she insists again, stepping closer, her fingers brushing against my arm. “We’ll face it together. All of us. This pack, this family—it’s not just yours to protect. We all protect each other. We will figure this out. You don’t have to carry this burden on your own anymore.”
