My Atypical Wolf (BL)

“I agree, but what I am not forgetting is that Alvaro can be reckless. I don’t want Alvaro to make the wrong decision. I know his heart is in the right place.” Ashton shrugged followed by a sigh.

“Which is why he wants us to decide his next move. Our next move.” Caleb pointed out. “Let’s go to Christian, maybe he can provide some insight.” he shrugged.

Ashton considered it for a moment before he nodded in agreement. On his way he considered whether or not it was okay to burden Christian with this at this moment, but he realised that Christian was already too involved in this case and not keeping him updated would actually do more harm than good.

Christian was busy with training when both Caleb and Ashton arrived near the office. Seeing them, Christian took a break and approached them, “I sent you to find more info, but I see you brought Caleb back instead.” he smirked as soon as he noticed Caleb and Ashton.

“Christian, please. The situation is much more serious than we thought.” Caleb declared which alarmed Christian a bit, even though he maintained his calm demeanor. Christian remained quiet and waited for the duo to explain the situation. Once he was done, Christian remained quiet as he was processing everything.

“Tell me something.” Christian looked at Caleb. “Where were you last night”?

.....

“I was at Sue’s.” Caleb shrugged.

“And you”? Christian asked. “Before you wolfed out I mean.”

“I was at my mom’s.” Ashton shrugged as well.

“So, you didn’t notice anything weird about your mate”? Christian asked his brother.

“Well, I was really tired so I fell asleep as soon as I got home.” Caleb declared. “Not exactly, but I did have a meal before going to bed.” He nodded. “I believe Ashton wolfed out after I fell asleep?” he wondered and turned to look at Ashton who shrugged as well.

“I think I wolfed out after I fell asleep as well. Cause I don’t remember turning into a wolf or leaving the house. I just remember waking up dirtier and with body soreness.” Ashton shrugged. “I think the fight can explain why.”

“You still sore?” Christian asked.

Ashton shook his head in reply, “I heal really fast.”

“Okay...” Christian sighed. “With that being cleared, what is your next step”? He asked. “Do you have anything in mind”? He asked.

“I dunno.” Caleb shrugged while Ashton shrugged as well in response. “We were hoping you could tell us any solution.”

Christian nodded and thought for a moment. “Did you test the samples from the guy Ashton killed?”

“Alvaro”! Caleb corrected. Christian tilted his head which made him realise that they never officially revealed Ashton’s wolf’s name to anyone else. In fact even while telling the entire story they were mostly referred to as ‘His wolf’ or ‘my wolf.’ “That’s his wolf’s name. Since it has its own separate entity, we figured why not have an original name for him.”

“I see.” Christian nodded. “Well, so did you get any samples from the guy that Alvaro killed”?

“Yeah, but we don’t have any results yet.” Caleb shrugged.

“Match it with the previous killer. Since he was a Valestine you won’t find him on your database, but you may find a match with the killer from previous samples.” Christian wondered. “I am guessing, I dunno.”

“To be honest we did get some DNA of the original killer, but we never got a match. As for matching now, once they put the data in the system, it will match itself.” Caleb nodded. “We’ll know that one for sure, hopefully.”

“Okay... Well this situation is pretty serious, so we cannot be too rash about it.” Christian mumbled. “Do one thing, go ahead and call a press conference. I will speak to the public in a reassuring manner,” he nodded. “Before we make any further decisions, we need to do some damage control.” he declared. Both of them nodded and stood still. “Ashton”? Christian called out earning the said’s attention.

“Yes?”

“I asked you, to call a press conference.” Christian repeated.

“Right.” Ashton nodded. “I’d totally do that... I just... I need to figure out how to do that.” he gulped.

“Right, you are not familiar with all this.” He sighed. “Hold on,” Christian went still after that, as if he was having a mental conversation with someone. Pretty soon after, to confirm the duo’s suspicion a woman ran towards them. “You know Melanie right? She is my beta.” Christian declared. Ashton nodded at Melanie who simply smiled at them, “She will help you with whatever you need.” he declared.

“Hi.” Melanie smiled at her old friend.

“Hi.” Caleb shrugged. Ashton frowned at the strange interaction which prompted Caleb to clarify further, “We were childhood friends.” he declared.

“Right, you went to our high school right?” Ashton asked.

“Yepp, I was a year ahead of you.” Melanie nodded.

“You knew me back then?” Ashton was taken aback.

“How could I not, Caleb was obsessed with you.” she smirked causing Caleb’s eyes to widen.

“I was not obsessed!” Caleb argued causing almost everyone else to chuckle.

“Anyways, I gotta go.” Christian declared. “I will be doing the press conference at around eight this evening. Caleb if you find anything by then please let me know. I will modify my speech accordingly.” he added and left,

“Well, I should leave as well.” Caleb shrugged, He looked at Ashton and smiled.

“What?” Ashton couldn’t help but ask.

“Nothing. Good luck for your new job.” Caleb declared and planted a kiss on the other before leaving. Ashton followed Caleb and then his car with his eyes until he was out of sight.

“So...shall we get to it”? Melanie asked. Ashton nodded at her and followed her after she nudged him to. Ashton took a deep breath and prepared himself for learning new skills for his new job.
