My Atypical Wolf (BL)

“Come on! We are all adults here, and you are approaching my age with every passing year. Who is the guy”? His grandpa pushed.

“This guy. It’s not like you would recognise him” Christian blurted.

“I think I would,” Rachel stepped up and sniffed around. “Ahh, I see” She smirked.

Christian linked his mother [God, save me.]

[I am not God, son. I am your mom. Although I can see why you will be so confused.] Mrs. Wrisberg teased her son through the link.

Christian let out an uncomfortable smile before snarling in the link, [Mom please. I am not sure if I am ready for this conversation.]

.....

Suddenly the conversation shifted entirely to Mrs Wrisberg, “So Rachel, who is it”? Grandpa Lance asked.

“He is a pack member of ours” Rachel mumbled.

“Well, invite him to dinner. I would like to meet the one who finally swayed our boy Christian” Grandpa ordered.

“But Grandpa-” Christian tried to stop it from happening, but his protests were quickly dismissed and therefore he was sent back to his room. He asked the servants to get him food in his room and decided to check up on his emails one last time before the ceremony.

He tried to contact his Dad if he had any work for him, perhaps to take his mind off the conversation he was dreading at the dinner, but even his Dad gave him the day off and simply asked him to take rest before the big day. After all, from tomorrow, everything will officially be his responsibility.

After a while, when Christian was bored with everything, he decided to head off to the police station to check with his brother as Caleb had mentioned earlier that Caleb could use some input. Sure he could just link the guy, but he was so bored that even driving there for not much reason seemed like a good expenditure of time.

Upon reaching the police station he decided to link his brother, [I am here, can you come out for a second] he asked.

[Here as in... Police station? Why?] Caleb asked, surprised.

[Yeah, you said you wanted some help] Christian reminded his brother.

[Yeah, but it could wait. Tomorrow is passing the torch ceremony. You should rest] Caleb suggested.

[I’m sick of taking rest! I am bored. I’m available now, I won’t be later and then I won’t be able to help] Christian snarled in his head.

[Okay... just wait for me] Caleb mumbled and disconnected the link.

Outside, Caleb arrived with a folder in his hand and asked, “Take a walk with me.”

While walking at the sideways, Caleb took a look around the and tried to decide whether or not there was anyone around, eavesdropping or otherwise. Seeming sure of himself, Caleb asked, “Did you ever hear about the Alpha of the Linares pack”?

“What about him”? Christian was confused.

“As in, do you know what kind of person he was?” Caleb clarified.

“I... No. Linares pack has always avoided us and since they weren’t really causing any trouble, I didn’t bother.” Christian informed his brother. “Why are you so curious about that?”

“The Alpha, Casper Stevens was found dead” Caleb declared.

“Wait, what!?” Christian was shocked. “Why didn’t you tell me about this before? This could wait? It sounds serious” Christian argued.

“Yeah, but when I told dad he threatened me not to tell you before the ceremony” Caleb gulped. “Pretend to be surprised when he tells you, would ya”? Caleb asked.

Christian stared blankly at his brother before sighing, “When did this happen”?

“A few days ago. We have been trying to figure out the perpetrator, but so far no luck. If it were up to, I’ll totally shift this case from here to our pack. Mr. Stevens was the head of the pack, a werewolf Alpha, there is no way something human killed him” Caleb scoffed.

“How did he die”? Christian asked.

“The entire body was mauled”. Caleb declared.

“Sounds like one of us,” Christian mumbled. “Or worse...” he trailed off when it hit him, “You don’t think it’s...”

“That’s what I am afraid of,” Caleb sighed, sensing what his brother was trying to imply. “Ash has been worried about me being so obsessed with this case, but I can’t tell him why I am taking this so seriously,” Caleb admitted sadly.

“He is your mate Caleb, don’t you think he would figure it out eventually”? Christian asked.

“Until then...” Caleb shrugged. “Enough about this, I wanted to ask you to look into that matter after tomorrow. If you do anything before that Dad will personally kill me”. Caleb snickered.

“But I am so bored” Christian groaned.

“Go, spend time with your boyfriend.” Caleb dismissed him. Christian was taken aback by Caleb’s audacity to be this direct, but then again, he did raise his brother to be fearless.

After being completely jobless for the entire day, Christian decided to pay a visit to his boyfriend. Sebastian, who was in the middle of cleaning up was indeed surprised to see Christian at his doorstep, the guy who claimed to be very busy. “Hi” Christian greeted awkwardly.

“Look who found time in his busy schedule”, sarcastically, Sebastian noted. “Don’t tell me you are here to pick me up? I have a lot to do yet” Sebastian declared.

“Pick you up”? Christian was confused until he realised that upon his grandfather’s insistence, his mother might have invited him. “No, no, I am not here for that.” Christian clarified.

“Cool, so what brings you here” Sebastian asked while plugging the vacuum to the socket.

“I wanted to see how you were doing, ” Christian mumbled. “Did you clean up the entire place by yourself”? He asked, recalling the horrifying situation of the apartment when he left.

“Yea, it’s not like I am rich like you. Gotta do my own work” Sebastian commented.

“You are a famous actor, the hell you are”! Christian pointed out.

Sebastian chuckled, before saying, “You can sit over there, I’ll clean up this mess”

“You want some help”? Christian offered.

“No, thanks, ” Sebastian snapped. “I.. would really prefer to do it by myself.” Ge cleared his throat. “Just go sit there and wait, I’ll be there soon”. Feeling unwanted from everywhere, Christian simply headed off to the couch and laid down, while observing Sebastian clean up. Somewhere in the observing, he felt his eyelids getting heavy, and without even realizing he drifted off to sleep.
