My Atypical Wolf (BL)-Chapter 313 - 313 C-09

313 C-0Caleb was surprised to wake up by himself the next morning, even though he went to the bed all by himself. He knew that Ashton had gone to the house of his friend Melanie and his ex best friend from ages ago. While he had intended to wait for Ashton to come back somewhere between trying to stay awake fighting his tiredness and wanting to lay down just to get his back some rest, he drifted off to sleep.

As he grew older, despite being a wolf he couldn’t help but feel certain perks of getting older. Like his back which didn’t pain as much from working this hard when he was young.

He exited the room looking for everyone and ended up at Connor’s room only to find out that not only his to-be-husband was there but all his kids were along with him there as well, hugging him while everyone slept in peace. On one side it was Connor and on the other side it was Ivy, hugging whom slept Carmen. The scene was so beautiful that Caleb couldn’t help but take a pic.

The noise of the shutter from the camera had stirred Ashton awake in the middle. He looked around and then looked up to see a gawking Caleb looking at him like he found the world’s cutest puppy. [What are you doing] Ashton linked his mate in order to not wake up the kids (where he still sounded sleepy by the way).

[Remembering this] Caleb smiled. [All of you sleeping like that…I cannot help but admire] he added. For a flicker moment Caleb witnessed why all of them were sleeping together like this and that’s when the expression of admiration turned into aggression. Before Caleb could burst down, very carefully Ashton got out of the bed, replacing his body with a pillow in order to keep the children comfortable.

Ashton dragged Caleb away from the room into the living room. “Are you alright?” Was the first thing Caleb uttered as soon as they halted. “Why didn’t you call me for help? I can’t believe I slept through the entire fight. What kind of mate does that? I was sleeping while you were in danger, when the kids were in danger-” Caleb’s rant was shut down by a sudden kiss from his mate.

“I am alright.” Ashton comforted his mate. “I get that you’re worried about me, but trust me you taking some rest doesn’t make you a bad mate”.

“But you were in danger”. Caleb breathed.

“With us… we’re always in danger.” Ashton sighed as well. “And I got help didn’t I?” He asked. “I got this,” he smiled. “And… I convinced George to help us”. Ashton smirked.

.....

“Wait what?” Caleb blinked. “For reals though?”

“Yeah…he did have one condition though.” Ashton pursed his lips. 𝒇𝑟e𝙚𝑤𝙚𝐛𝗻𝐨ν𝚎𝘭.c𝐨m

“Which is”? Caleb’s brows puckered.

“Well, to modify those files George would need access to the computer in the police station. And for that… he would go there. But he will only go there if, and I quote, “he doesn’t run into your stupid face”.” Ashton gulped.

“That…seems accurate.” Caleb nodded. “I believe I can arrange that.”

“Alright then”. Ashton nodded. “Feel better?”

“I…guess.” Caleb sighed. “But, I still hate that I wasn’t there fighting with you, side by side.”

“I am glad you weren’t,” Ashton shrugged. “Cause if you were there I’d be worried about you way too much.” He admitted honestly. “I know you can take care of yourself. But a trained Valestine is no joke.” He pressed his lips together. “Which reminds me, I gotta go to the St Demoir Cellar. That wolf is kept in captivity there. Christian wants to question it, and while it’s shifted…I am the only one who can understand him, thanks to Alvaro.”

“Wait…” Caleb considered for a moment. “I’ll go with you.” He declared.

“Are you sure?” Ashton tilted his face. “I mean, don’t you have to go to the police station? You’re their sheriff, they need you”.

“I’ll find a way”. Caleb shrugged.

“No,” Ashton shook his head. “You need to go to the police station. Do your job so that we can get this over as fast as I can”. 𝑓𝘳ℯ𝒆w𝘦𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝘦𝚕.c𝗼𝓶

“But-”

“And, if you want to know what’s going on so bad, you can be in my head. You know, see whatever is happening through my eyes.” Ashton shrugged.

“That’s a really weird invitation.” Caleb cringed. “But, I guess I am in.” Caleb sighed. Ashton concluded their early morning conversation with a small peck on his mate’s lips. After a while when the kids woke up, Caleb bid them farewell as he went ahead for a weekend shift. While Connor wasn’t too thrilled with this, at this point he had sort of accepted that Caleb was always too busy. Especially after the horror he witnessed last night. A part of him could understand why his dad was working so hard. But, he still wanted his Dad around more.

Since it was an off day for the kids, they were quite available for the day. It was a shame that even Ashton was busy. To make up for it, Ashton took the evening off officially so that he could spend some time with the kids as well. After asking his mother to take care of them, he dressed up and headed out. At first he ended up at the pack office after which, along with Melanie, Christian and a few notable people from the pack decided to venture to St Demoir Cellar for some answers.

While most of them had been here before, Ashton hadn’t. Somehow a terrifying muddy wolf wasn’t the most horrifying thing there. Seeing its condition made Ashton wonder what kind of horror happened to the people who are trapped here, and what must they have committed to face it.

He even felt bad seeing the condition of some of the prisoners in there. With stuff like this in mind, he walked while feeling conflicted, that is until they reached the gate of the room marked C-09… the Cell that held the muddy wolf.
