My Atypical Wolf (BL)-Chapter 317 - Destination

317 Destination

Despite how severely sleep deprived Caleb was, he was up on time and highly energetic. As for his mate Ashton, he didn’t sleep at all and was quite nervous but excited for the wedding. The twins had prepared a car just for the duo in order to drive them to the destination. Which in turn amused Ashton as he had somehow imagined that the twins had chosen the pack hall for the ceremony.

After a while, they noticed that the car was pulling onto the highway which amused both of them. “Exactly which place did you choose for the wedding?” Ashton asked.

“I… I am guessing we are going out of town.” Caleb shrugged.

“You’re guessing”? Ashton scoffed. “I am seriously wondering how much you know about your own wedding.”

“I know more than you.” Caleb shrugged.

“And whose fault is that, huh?” Ashton raised his eyebrows. Caleb simply shrugged his head and put his own head on Ashton’s shoulders for the rest of the ride. Upon arriving at their destination, both of them had to be shaken to wake them up, as they had fallen asleep on their way, which was obvious given how exhausted they were from all the sleep deprivation.

One of the servants who worked for Caleb’s family, led them to the center. It looked like a mini mansion from the outside which looked kind of perfect for a destination wedding. After adjusting a little to his new environment, Ashton asked his mate, “What exactly is this place?”

A faint smile appeared on Caleb’s face. “This is my grandmother’s house.” he shrugged. “I used to come here when I was young for my summer vacations… until she passed away.”

“Wow…” Ashton mumbled. “Are you sure you wanna get married here?” Ashton had to ask. While he was certain that the memories attached to this house were too fond for Caleb, he had to make sure how Caleb felt about attaching another key memory (like their wedding) to it.

.....

“Of course…” Caleb trailed off. “I remember telling grandma that this was a great place to get married.” he chuckled.

“Wait, have you imagined your wedding since you were a little boy”? Ashton couldn’t help but smile at that.

“Oh please, if anything I had dreaded getting married to some unknown vicious alpha against my wishes. Never once did I ever imagine that I would be marrying someone I genuinely like, let alone love so much.” Caleb shuddered at the mere thought of it. “I only said that to Nana because this is where she got married herself. This house wasn’t theirs back then. She bought it from its owner when they decided to shift their business.” Caleb explained.

“I see.” Ashton’s smile deepened. “You must be very excited to be getting married here?”

“I really am.” Caleb took a deep breath before he sighed peacefully.

“Master Wrisberg, you should get dressed.” The servant interjected.

Ashton and Caleb looked at each other and shrugged before following him until they had to go their separate ways for getting dressed. There stood a spectacular tux, hanging on the corner of the mirror, waiting to be worn by the groom of the day. There wasn’t anything too different or spectacular about that tux, however, it just seemed… perfect.

After he was dressed, the hairstylist and the make up artist arrived to take care of him, giving him the finishing touches he needed when someone walked in the room. “Oh my god… look at you.” Mrs Parker gave a huge smile. “My son is finally getting married.” she mumbled, her voice tearing up at the end.

“Mom!” Ashton hushed her, feeling embarrassed by her words. “What are you doing here?” he asked.

“I just…came to see you.” Mrs Parker smiled. “Also, I brought you this.” pulling out of her pocket she handed him a small box. “You wanted this right.”

Opening the box, Ashton smiled. “Yeah, thanks mom.” Mrs Parker nodded at him and touched his shoulder gently.

“Good luck son.” she mumbled, and was about to leave when Ashton stopped her.

“Mom, wait.” Ashton called out. Ashton looked at his helpers, “Um… can you give us a moment”? They nodded and left immediately. After they were gone, he waited an extra second before adding, “I know I am not the expressive of my stuff… but, thank you. For raising me, for taking me as your son.” he added.

“Of course….” Mrs Parker, “Thanks for being my son. I am so glad you decided to join our family. Never once did I regret that… and now… I am so proud of you that I can’t even begin to express.” she tried to suppress her tears that were threatening to come out amidst her smile.

“Only because you raised me.” Ashton nodded. “You’re the best mother ever.” he added. Before his tears could come up as well, Connor came running into the room along with his tears.

“Oh my god, you guys are crying already?” Ava scoffed. “Save something for the wedding.”

“Ava”! Ariel bumped her sister, in order to tone down her teasing.

“You look good… Dad.” Connor mumbled. Hearing Connor call him like that, brought another smile to Ashton’s face. “I have one question though? When do I walk”? He asked.

“What”? Ashton frowned, and so did the rest of them.

“You know, you get to walk down the aisle, and so does Dad… I wanna walk too.” Connor pressed. “Give me a role.”

Ashton looked puzzled before squatting down in order to be face to face with him. “I am not sure about the walking part, but I do need some help. One big help.” Ashton smirked.

“What”? Connor’s brows furrowed.

“Well, everything happened so fast, I didn’t get much time to arrange everything. So…” he took a deep breath. “I was thinking, will you be my best man? Cause I can really use one.” he smiled.

“What would I have to do?” Connor asked.

“Just… hand me rings. Give a giant speech about how I am your favorite person… stop me from running away if I feel nervous.” Ashton shrugged.

“I am not letting you run away”! Connor shrieked at Ashton.

“Good, then I believe you are perfect for this job.” Ashton smiled.

Connor nodded after a moment, “I’ll do it.”
