My Atypical Wolf (BL)

Despite having a bit too much to drink. Christian could recall the details vividly, and one of the things he remembers clearly was marking Sebastian. Something he had been dying to do for a while now. Looks like his drunken self was more courageous than he was.

When Christian found out Sebastian would be going away pretty soon, Christian was pretty heartbroken. Not because he would have heaps of responsibilities on his shoulders, but because he would have to spend yet another long duration without his mate.

Having marked Sebastian... it felt better. Even though he knew that no human would ever understand the significance of the mark, or that it would be covered up on screen due to application of makeup, he knew in his heart that Sebastian was now his. The mark made it seem pretty real.

Knowing how tired Sebastian must have been, very carefully he separated himself from Sebastian who was thankfully still quite deep in sleep, and got dressed up. His trousers were bit ruined, so he grabbed one from Seb’s closet and left a note before he exited the buiding.

[I borrowed your trousers, Hope you don’t mind.

-Chris.

PS: You look sexier with my mark]

Christian headed for office and started to execute all the activities he had planned for the day. Since he was also the mayor along with being the pack leader of wolves he reserved most of his pack work for early morning and for the evening, devoting the afternoon to mayor work, like any normal work hours would be.

Due to recent murders, there had been some agitations amongst the humans, as despite multiple trials they have failed to keep things under the wrap. The living proof of that was an article published in the website of local news citing all the haunting activities that were taking place.

Christian sighed before he called his brother, asking how the news got out. “I dunno, officially I have not exposed anything.” Caleb sighed. “But I might know how the news people found out.”

“Elaborate.” Christian ordered. Thanks to public agitation, he needed to make a statement regarding the current situations, and therefore he was pissed even further.

“The family that found the shredded human pieces? The mom’s cousin is a journalist.” Caleb sighed.

“So? You didn’t ask her to keep things secret for now? You should have done that”! Christian snarled.

“What makes you think I didn’t.” Caleb snarled back. “I have been involved in the pack business ever since you were. And I have been a sheriff for quite a long time.” he huffed.

“Yes, but you have been distracted lately.” Christian accused his brother.

“Right, and you have been completely immersed in work with no business elsewhere.” Caleb remarked sarcastically. “You know what, thanks for letting me know how terrible I am at my job. And just for the record, that journalist cousin was on the scene last time, because she was the one who called us. The mom of that family had called her cousin in shock and not us.”

Before Christian could say anything further, Caleb hung up and pretty much ignored any attempts of Christian trying to link him. After a certain while, he decided to try another method, and call Ashton. Ashton, who had nothing to do, was delighted to be called to office as he might have something else to do other than watch the repeat telecast of White Collar.

After an hour or so, there was a knock at the office door of Christian. “Hey, I am here.”

“Come in.” Christian shrugged. Ashton did as he was asked and sat down in front of Christian upon being asked to do so by a simple gesture from Christian. Ashton sat there quietly and waited patiently for whatever Christian wanted from him. “I need you to deliver the official case files of the case Caleb has been working on.”

“Can’t you ask Caleb”? Ashton frowned.

“Apparently, I can’t.” Christian rolled his eyes, and Ashton was certain he saw a bit of resentment. Ashton wasn’t sure what was going on, but he chose to ignore that for the time being.

“Why do you need it so suddenly, what’s going on?” Ashton asked.

“I have been the mayor of this town for a while now, in case you didn’t know.” Christian declared and turned the laptop on his desk to face Ashton. “Thanks to this article, people... humans of our town are scared. They need reassurance that our police can handle this.” Christian sighed. “See the comment section.”

Ashton narrowed his eyes a little and focussed on the comments. Some of them went like this....

‘Why the mayor is hiding at times like this?’

‘Is Crescent Point not safe any more?’

‘Today it was someone else, but what if tomorrow it happens to someone I know!’

‘This is a crisis, we have a killer at large. What is our government doing?’

“Wow, that is harsh.” Ashton commented. “I think they are overreacting a little bit.”

“A murder like this isn’t something simple.” Christian told Ashton. “Sure, as wolves we are a bit accustomed, but try to see it from the point of view of the humans. They can’t protect themselves the way we can.”

“I guess that’s true.” Ashton shrugged. “So, what do you wanna do next?” he asked.

“I gotta make a convincing statement or the national security get involved, and I might lose my position as the mayor.” hearing that from Christian caused Ashton to widen his eyes. Ashton didn’t know what to say so he remained quiet. “Can you get me the files? I will take a look before I say something.” he asked Ashton.

“Sure, I have them with me actually. Caleb brought them home last night.” Ashton shrugged.

“Well, that’s convenient.” Christian shrugged. “Thanks for helping me out.”

“No problem. It’s not like I have anything else to do.” Ashton mumbled, which came out a little sarcastic. Which is why he added in a hurry, “I am serious. I literally have nothing else to do.”

“You have a job.” Christian reminded Ashton.

“I quit.”

“Why”?

“Eh, it just wasn’t cutting for me anymore.” Ashton shrugged. There was a smirk on Christian’s face that kind of alarmed Ashton.

“How would you like to work for me?” Christian asked.
