My Atypical Wolf (BL)-Chapter 287

Chapter 287: At the Scene: Part

“Are you okay”? The message from Ashton read. Caleb was surprised to see Ashton text instead of simply linking and asking, so Caleb linked his mate instead.

[How come you texted?] Caleb asked.

[I knew you were busy, so I didn’t wanna bother you. I felt this surge of.... I dunno how to describe this emotion, but it was highly unpleasant.] Ashton declared.

Turns out, the scene had freaked out Caleb so much that even Ashton could feel it. [It’s not much. Just some disturbing stuff...at work. Job of a sheriff you know] Caleb shrugged.

[Oh my God... that... looked horrible] Ashton declared. Ashton didn’t seem so sure of himself, but what was certain is that Ashton did get a peak at whatever Caleb saw a moment earlier.

So Caleb did the next thing he could think of. [Have you ever seen something like this?] Caleb asked his mate genuinely. He was very wary of the answer he could have gotten.

[Not that I know of.] Ashton recalled and declared honestly.

.....

[Alright, I will... see what I can do. Maybe talk to my brother while I am at it. See you later] Caleb declared and disconnected the link. 𝘧𝓇𝒆𝗲𝓌𝙚𝙗𝓷o𝘷𝒆𝘭.𝐜𝚘𝒎

After talking to his mate, Caleb headed out for the police station to check on the files. Caleb took a very good swipe at the pictures of the crime scene before taking a look at the statements of the people who discovered it, something he had missed earlier.

It didn’t have much. All of them described how they were simply annoyed at the broken tire while their mother fixed it. Their youngest son, who was about five, wandered off to the forest in search of his toy when he ended up finding a stinky piece of ‘cloth’ which was confirmed by the mother that it was detached skin.

As Caleb imagined the situation in front of his eyes, he felt his last night’s lunch (as he had also skipped dinner at the ceremony) at his throat threatening to come out. With nothing much conclusive, he declared he will be out for a while, working this case.

Sergeant Casper Stevens wanted to tag along, but Caleb dismissed him saying he was needed here in case something came up. Disheartened, the sergeant agreed to stay as Caleb went ahead.

Caleb called his brother, who seemed to be working on a ton of work at the moment. (Given how Christian already had tons of work, but since it was his first time complaining, that meant it was much worse this time. Perks of being a Pack Alpha.) Caleb left Christian the address in case he ever wanted to check it out on his own and Caleb headed back to the scene.

There he noticed a familiar fancy car parked nearby attached to which stood Sebastian as he seemed to be waiting for someone. “Sebastian?” Caleb was amused.

“Your brother sent me here. He is a bit busy, but it seemed like you could use some help.” Sebastian shrugged.

“I really can,” Caleb nodded with a sigh. “I am so glad you are here.”

“Well, I am the pack Luna.” Sebastian shrugged. “I take my Job very seriously.”

Caleb stared at Sebastian with a hint of cringe in his eyes. It was really off for Sebastian to be this involved with pack business. Despite being a pack member, Sebastian kept away from the pack unless it was an emergency. And now this guy was the pack Luna. It was still a bit hard to digest.

“Anyways, follow me.” Caleb shrugged and invited Sebastian.

They arrived at the area and Caleb took out his phone to show him some pictures to Sebastian in order to help him correlate the scene. Even Sebastian cringed a bit at the photos. “My forensics guy seems pretty convinced that this was a work of and I quote, ‘A monster.'” Caleb declared.

“I mean...I don’t think it’s done by a wolf.” Sebastian shrugged. “And by wolf I mean-“.

“Werewolves, yeah I got it.” Caleb affirmed.

“Well, unless you have other animals in the territory, I don’t know what did this.” Sebastain declared.

“Well, we don’t.” Caleb shook his head. “We don’t have any animals around... not unless something is new.”

“I think it is.” Sebastian declared.

“Yeah, that’s what I am afraid of.” Caleb mumbled which was followed by a dreadful silence. “I don’t know, but...um...” he wondered if he should pose the question or not. “Do you think a Vampire could have done this?”

“A Vampire”? Sebastian tilted his head in confusion. “Do you have any particular reason to believe that it could be Vampires?” He asked.

“Belton, I mean my forensics guy said that this human was drained of blood. Well, he technically didn’t say drain... he said the body parts didn’t have blood left and almost all of it was scattered around.” Caleb declared.

“A Vampire would drink the blood, not scatter it”. Sebastian declared. f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋ｎoѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺

“I know, but it is possible they didn’t drink completely when they... shattered this person.” Caleb shrugged.

“The only reason a Vampire would bother to go to so much length is when they are trying to cover up their tracks.” Sebastian informed him.

“It doesn’t look so covered up to me” Caleb sighed.

“Yeah, me neither.” Sebastian noted. “In fact, this person might have been alive when this happened. I mean... this person is clearly shredded. I think hiding this body would be much much easier than hiding a full body. If I am not wrong, this body would decompose much earlier too, making it a perfect crime.”

“I guess.” Caleb noted. “But, what’s your point?”

“My point is, whoever did this. He... or she... or they... are new in town. And, so unfamiliar with the rules that they didn’t bother to hide the body at all.” Sebastian shrugged. “Either that, or they wanted us to find this body. It’s an act of pure wrath.” Sebastian noted.

“Wow, you are good at this stuff. You sure you wanna be an actor and not work a few more cases with me?” Caleb suggested.

“I know I am awesome, but I gotta have my priorities.” Sebastian shrugged casually. “Also, I wonder if one person did this. There could be more than one right”? He suggested.

“At this point I am not even sure it was one person. There are literally no footprints.” Caleb informed Sebastian.

“Maybe the person ate something and exploded?” Sebastian suggested to which Caleb jerked his head and looked at Sebastian. “What”?

“You could be right though. No wonder this person was this shredded. And no one was around so maybe there was no one to actually hide the crime?”

“Suicide?” Sebastian wondered.

“I really hope so...but I know it isn’t. As plausible as that sounds There is no remnants of any bomb or some. An explosion would leave some kind of mark on the body.” Caleb declared. “Even a shredded body.”

“Yeah, you are right.” Sebastian sighed. “Do you know who this person was”?

“We are still working on that.” Caleb sighed.

“Well, lemme know when you have more information and in case you need any help. Till then, good luck.” Sebastian suggested.

Caleb took one last look (for now) before he left.
