My Atypical Wolf (BL)

Caleb felt a little bad for straining him this bad just after his heat. Usually it’s the Alpha’s who were more promiscuous is nature, but somehow in their relationship it turned out to be Caleb.

Amidst his thoughts he was interrupted by a buzz sound on his night stand. {I need your help} a text that was sent from his brother’s phone read. {Get back to me as soon as you can.} Caleb frowned what it might be so he replied back to him immediately.

{What do you need?} Caleb asked.

A quick and sudden reply came, {You are awake! That’s great}, followed by, {meet me in the office immediately if you can. It’s a bit urgent}

Feeling sorry, he replied. {I can’t. I went into my heat this morning so... I am really not available.}

After a whole minute he received a reply from his brother. {OK}. He felt bad for not being able to help him whatever urgent business he had for him. His brother had been nothing but supportive when he spent all of his time in the dungeon next to Ashton. He would love the chance to return his favour but it’s not like he can control his heat.

A few days later, Ashton, who had missed almost two weeks of school took a thorough shower at 4 am before running off to his classes. For some reason he felt more giddy than usual, and smiled too from time to time freaking out a few of his classmates. He was in much better mood especially elevated after the week he had.

The more time he spent with his mate, the more he wanted to be next to him. He could feel himself getting more attached to Caleb, and now with mated and everything his attachment was quite strong. He feared he would soon be completely possessive of him, refusing to let Caleb out of his sight even for a moment, which would make him not such an ideal partner, but for now that was a problem for his future self.

When Caleb woke up that morning in the empty bed he felt comparatively better and thus he decided to visit his brother. He made sure to take a thorough shower to get rid of all the smell before he went for a visit. His heat was over way faster this time. Was it because of Ashton, or was it simply because the duration was shortening on it’s own ever since he was marked, who knew.

He knocked on the door reluctantly when he realised that he didn’t check with his brother before coming here. Receiving no response he decided to link him only to find out that he was at the training grounds. Christian instructed him to meet him at the office and while he himself gave the responsibilities to Rexford, his second in command.

“What’s going on”? Caleb asked his brother the moment he spotted him. He invited him in his office and closed the door before explaining everything that happened on the night of the banquet and how he had been trying to look for clues.

“So that’s why you were so busy”. Caleb mumbled.

“That and all the residual responsibilities for the Banquet that I had to take over.” Christian shrugged. He didn’t want to blame his baby brother for dumping the work on him, because he knew that the situation couldn’t be helped. “Do not worry about it. Now that you are feeling better hep me with it”.

“What do you want from me”?

“Anything. Whatever you can do to help”. Christian sighed. “I have checked the CCTV, I talked to everyone he interacted with that day and I found nothing”.

“Do you have any suspects”? Caleb asked after a whole minute.

“Wait? So you believe me? You don’t think Sebastian’s at fault”? Christian questioned.

Caleb shrugged before saying, “I trust your instincts. Besides, like you said, I agree that he doesn’t have any valid motive for attacking you”.

“Well... yeah” Christian smiled. “Do you think it’s Cyrus”?

“Why him”? Caleb frowned.

“Well, first of all he invited himself to the banquet, secondly-”

“Wait, you mean Dad didn’t invite him here on purpose”, Caleb cut in, wide eyed.

Christian frowned, “No”

“Okay, maybe I owe dad an apology” Caleb mumbled.

Christian gave him a suspicious look before saying, “Anyways, as I was saying, he seemed highly interested in pack stuff. And most importantly, he knew Sebastian beforehand. I even caught them having a long conversation”.

“Did you question him? What did he say”? Caleb asked.

“I did”. Christian shrugged. “Of course I couldn’t use my direct accusatory tone. He is a powerful Alpha, it won’t be smart to antagonise him. Even if he ends up being the real culprit, we would need solid evidence and we would have to be extremely careful on how we handle the situation. Any wrong move can endanger the entire pack”. Christian sighed.

Caleb was silent for a long time so Christian decided to speak up once more, “What do you think”?

“I...” Caleb began before he let out a breath. “I don’t like that guy. He gives me real creepy vibes and I would love to maintain my distance from him, forever. But... I don’t think it’s him”.

“Why”?

“Because what motive would that bring him”? Caleb raised his eyebrows. “Even if he somehow managed to kill you. His next rivals would be our entire family. Not to mention Ashton, a pure blooded just like him would be a potential threat to him. I think... Whoever did this has a personal grudge against you. Like, they don’t want the pack, they want you”.

“Why”? Christian frowned.

“Well. it’s not like you haven’t pissed off anyone in your lifetime”, Caleb chuckled.

“Well, I definitely did piss off Sebastian” Christian rolled his eyes. “I cannot believe this. We still haven’t figured out who was behind those omega abductions, and now this. Just how many dangers our pack has to encounter at once”? Christian groaned.

“Do you think... it’s the same person”? Caleb spoke up.

“What”?

“I mean, technically you are the one who followed the tracker that led to discovering the omegas. What if it was a vengeful attack from their behalf”? Caleb suggested.

Christian considered it for a moment after which he mumbled a quick, “Maybe”.

“Show me the CCTV footage, maybe I would be able to spot something”. Caleb urged.

“I have seen them at least 10 times, good luck with that”. He showed him to his computer. Caleb gazed intently at the video and from time to time he kept clicking on it. After almost twenty minutes he exclaimed, “Bingo!”

“What”? Suddenly Christian found a ray of hope.

“See this,” Caleb called him next to him. “See this person in a balck hoodie”? He pointed at the screen.

“Mn”.

“Follow him” Caleb ordered before pressing the play button. That person was moving in such a manner that actively hid his face away from the camera, as if he knew where the cameras were located. He/ she blended into the crowd pretty well. Judging from the surroundings a rough estimate of their height would be around 6feet. He saw the man talk to the bartender for a while before he disappeared into the crowd once more.

“Okay... what about him”? Chrsitian frowned.

“Come on”! Caleb shrieked. “See this”, he rewinded a bit pointing at his hands. On a closer observation he noticed when he asked about a drink from the bartender he quickly replaced one of the glasses arranged on the counter.

“Is that...” Christian frowned.

“Follow that glass”, Caleb pointed. Caleb increased the speed of the video 4x and soon the glass ended up on Sebastian’s hand from which he ended up drinking from.

“How did I miss that?” Christian cursed himself.

“Because the switching happened almost an hour ago from when he drank from it. I think that’s why you missed it”.

“And that’s why the bartender should have cleaned it before serving in it”. Christian grunted earning a snort from his brother. “How did you figure it out”? Christian, thoroughly impressed, asked him.

“Well, you told me you questioned everyone whom he came in contact with. So I figured you followed him throughout the footage. Since there was a possibility of someone messing with the drink, I traced the glass in his hand. I put the video in rewind and traced two of his glasses, and this turned out to be the one” Caleb shrugged.

Christian smiled before he hugged his brother tightly, “You are a genius”.

Caleb who found it harder to breathe tapped his hand, “I know, now let go of me”!

Christian let him go and after his enthusiasm subsided a little bit he declared, “All we have to do now is figure out who that person is”.
