My Atypical Wolf (BL)

Chapter 54: Look out for Ourselves

Christian was on his way back to home from the office when he ran into Caleb and Matt, “I see both of you are back” he smirked with a hint of annoyance.

“Yeah....”Matt mumbled and Caleb didn’t even bother to reply and went straight inside. “What’s going on with him”? Christian asked Matt. Matt looked at Christian wide eyed before simply shrugging, “I have no idea”, followed by a gulp.

“Alright...”Christian muttered and was about to leave when Matt called him out, “Wait”! Christian turned around and looked at him suspiciously, “What’s going on”?

“Something happened while we were at Camazur” Matt mumbled. Christian raised his eyebrows suspiciously at Matt before he continued, “Shouldn’t that place be free of wolves”?

“Well, you guys did go there... so not a completely valid statement”.Christian shrugged. “Why? What happened back there”?

“We found a wolf there, it was in rut... I think, and it tried to attack... us” Matt spoke up. Christian’s eyes widened at that as he worried about his brother’s safety. “Did he... go for anyone specific”? Christian asked, clearly trying to ask about his brother subtly.

“As far as I can recall, no. All of us were together, and few of us were drunk... I am really not so sure about that”. Matt tried to explain the situation. He did not want to put Caleb in trouble, knowing that the other had already been through a tough time down there. “I will look into it, don’t worry” he tried to console Matt, who nodded at him before leaving.

.....

Christian considered the situation before he decided to check on his brother. He knocked on his door twice but he got no response. He knocked again before entering the room directly. “Are you alright”? He asked his brother who was lying on the bed.

“Yeah, I am fine” he mumbled while he kept staring at the ceiling. “Matt told me what happened”. His brother told him. “Be honest with me, did he... attack you”? Christian asked carefully. He was mainly asking about the mark, which Caleb understood so he denied it, “Nope”.

“Then why are you so upset”? Christian asked him with a tinge of frustration. “Because its an Alpha in rut who is interested in attacking poor omegas”!! Caleb burst out at his brother.

His brother was taken aback by the sudden outburst before he composed himself and asked him “What”? With a little bit of compassion.

“That wolf, he was... crazy! It wouldn’t hesitate to attack anyone just as it didn’t hesitate to attack us. I cannot help but keep wondering that, what if he got someone? It won’t be his fault, it would be omegas’ for being around him. I hate when Alphas go crazy like this and put all the blame on omegas”! Caleb explained in frustration.

“Yeah well, this is the real world” his brother said softly.

“I know, and it sucks”! Caleb put his hand on his forehead. His brother sat next to him and hugged him from the side. While he supported his brother in being strong and trained him, he knew he couldn’t change how others viewed him. To a raging Alpha he was nothing but an omega, whom an Alpha would never treat with basic human respect.

“I am sorry you have to go through all of this”, Christian whispered. “You realise that if you choose a mate things will be a bit better”? Christian suggested. Caleb glared at his brother so he continued, “I am just saying that if you already have a mark you can’t be marked twice. I am not asking you to go ahead and do it”.

“Good, because I won’t”. Caleb declared. “I don’t want someone’s mark just because I want to protect myself. What if that someone takes advantage of the mark to abuse me”? He questioned.

Christian pursed his lips before nodding at him. “That is correct”. He whispered.

“I don’t really expect you to understand, but I do appreciate you supporting me so much”, Caleb muttered.

“Of course, you are my baby brother” Christian chuckled. “I should probably get going, you sure you will be alright”? He asked him. Caleb nodded reluctantly. He felt much better after talking to his brother.

Christian, went back to the office to check with his father. He was surprised when he didn’t find him there. He had no idea where he was so he tried to link him.

[What is it] his father asked him sternly.

[There is something I need to talk to you about, when will you be back?] Christian asked.

[Not before evening] his father replied to him before asking, [Anything else?]

[No] Christian let go of the link and waited for his father to come back. He took care of the stuff that needed to be managed in his father’s absence till he returned. His father, anticipating his son’s presence in the office, headed straight towards it.

He called for his son once he reached his chamber. “Everything Alright”? Christian asked his father.

“No...” his father looked really concerned and absorbed in deep thought until he replied, “This is the third omega that disappeared from our neighbor pack”.

“From Gizek’s pub again”? Christian asked while his father nodded. “I am assuming someone or something is hunting them. My first guess would be a rogue Alpha, but I don’t have any proof for now”. He mumbled. “Why did you want to see me”? Mr. Wrisberg asked.

“Matt told me that they were attacked at Camazur beach the other day. Some Alpha in rut went crazy” Christian informed him “In rut”? His father narrowed his eyes suspiciously. “Why was he there in the first place”? Mr. Wrisberg mumbled.

“Maybe he just went there and had his rut? Or he had ulterior motives” Christian suggested.

“I will go with ulterior motives” Mr. Wrisberg paused for a moment. “I will check with the neighboring packs to see if any of their Alpha’s went to Camazur recently”. Christian nodded at his father, “Make sure no wolf leaves for Camazur anymore, especially the omegas. It’s a famous trip spot for most of us here, they better be careful”. He ordered.

“What if it’s not that big of a threat”? Christian wondered out loud.

Both of them were silent for quite a long while before Mr. Wrisberg declared ,”Whatever it is, we need to look out for ourselves”.
