Chapter 54: Kill them all!!!
Selene POV
I watched as Xavier came to an abrupt halt with Maeve and Vina standing an arm’s length from him. My heart pounded with fright as I stared at their proximity to the intruders... they were closer than the rest of us. They and Xavier.
The dark, hairy wolves suddenly started trooping out. It felt like we’d just walked into a training ground and in less than a few minutes, we were surrounded, locked in from all sides by these intruders.
The rest of our pack huddled together whimpering with fear.
Of course, I’ve seen black wolves but there was something different about this lot and they all looked alike. The same stature, eyes, and small mannerisms... if these were rogue wolves, they were no ordinary ones.
I continued watching as the crowd of these strange animals suddenly parted and then strode someone in Xavier’s direction. He was slightly taller, bigger and different from the rest. When he got to Xavier, his eyes were cold.
"Xavier Steele? Why do you look surprised?" the animal scoffed.
"Displeased would be the words I’d use," Xavier retorted coolly "First you disrupt our run, you walk up to me and address me without my title? What gives you the audacity to think you can do that? And in my territory?"
"I see," the animal chuckled, strutting around Xavier "Proud as usual. Look around you, Xavier Steele... the odds are not in your favour. You’re outnumbered and even if you weren’t there’s no way you can match us,".
"You hide behind a mask to talk to me...what do you take me for?" Xavier taunted "Listen... ordinarily, I would have stopped to listen to your nonsense but tonight is very important to us and I don’t know who you are or what clan you’re from because you’re not a werewolf... but today is important for us,".
"Well, if you want to make it alive... you best talk to me politely... Xavier Steele... I am not a very patient person. Moving forward, for every question I ask and you answer me sarcastically, a random person here will die,".
