Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Lack of Supplies

For the last two weeks there was no other incident that mimicked the one that killed James. Over time the whispers around the school died down. They initially did strengthen the perimeter, but even that went little lax after two weeks of nothing.

Even Caleb who was so meticulous with his activities related to his Pack had to shift his focus to school. Only a few days were left as the quarter finals were approaching. For Many of them it was their last chance to win while they were still at school, for Caleb however it was his last chance to win at all. He was never going to need it for his pack duties, so he wanted to give this one his best shot.

“Hey, can you get me these”? He handed Caleb a list of things that were needed before the day of game.

“Are you kidding me, most of these things are not available here, how can I get them? I will have to leave the town”! Caleb sighed exasperated.

“I know, why else would you think I would ask you? You’re already doing great, you have the fastest car here-”

“That’s not my car”. Caleb interjected

“- and you are not the captain so you can afford to leave. And most importantly, you’re the only one I trust enough to not screw this up”.

“This is a lot, I don’t want to do it all by myself”. Caleb whined.

.....

“Then take a junior with you”. He told him flatly.

” Alright,? but I’m not paying if it’s out of budget!” He agreed on one condition knowing very well that his friends like to take advantage of the fact that he is rich.

After the game he started to wonder which junior should he take. Most of them were wolves who were intimidated by him.? They won’t be able to say no to him. But he does not want to deal with scared wolves for a ride this long.

It was already late, maybe if he leaves now he can be back by night? He couldn’t decide whom to pick when he saw someone who wasn’t so bad at sports but was not a wolf either.

“What are you doing”? He asked the boy who was reading a book.

“Reading “. Ashton replied to him, condescendingly. He was supposed to stay back for a few pointers, otherwise he would have already left for home. He already took two days off from his new job, as he needed to rest a little bit. Luckily the manager was nice to him, also Bethany, the girl he helped the other day who also worked there helped him gain points in his favor.

“Come with me”. Caleb ordered him. He was used to ordering around so much that he did not bother trying to sound nice.

” Why”? Ashton challenged him.

“Just come, don’t worry I won’t kill you”. He said and dragged him by his hand.? Ashton was a bit surprised, but he did not resist much. It would be nice to have favours of the wolves around here, especially if he was about to be the next leader of the pack.

“Get in”. Caleb ordered him again when they were near to his car, after he let go of his hand It was a slate color Porsche. It was indeed one fancy beautiful car. Ashton rolled his eyes at how Caleb was spoiled.

“Where are you taking me”? He asked Caleb as he folded his hands.

“We have to go and get some supplies”. He motioned Ashton again to get inside the car.

“Why don’t you take someone else “. Ashton asked him. He wasn’t sure he wanted to spend an entire long career ride with an overbearing Alpha. Caleb didn’t bother answering him and just looked at him with narrowed eyes.

Ashton finally sighed and decided to just get on with it. What is the worst that could happen? Caleb could annoy him which will force Ashton to kill him? f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦

They took a very long ride, as many times Caleb tried to stir up any conversation, Ashton shut him down with one word replies. He was starting to regret bringing Ashton. He was sad that they got off to a rocky start. He wanted to change that, especially after the incident of that day. But this boy was indifferent to everyone.

They had to go from store to store to buy stuff. Most of the time to annoy Ashton, he put things in his hand. Unfortunately it did not bother Ashton. He was strong enough for those heavy things, plus he did not have to talk to the owner and all.

On their way back it was pretty late. Most of the shops and stores were closing down by the time they were done.

“Sorry it took so long….” Caleb apologized to Ashton who looked a bit tired from running around all day. “... will you be in trouble for being late”? He asked just to make sure.

“I texted my mom”. is all what Ashton replied.

Caleb sighed and started driving when suddenly pain hit him in his bones. This pain was familiar, but this has to be something else right? Everytime it took him at least a month interval for his next heat, then how come he was already feeling like this. It had to be something else right. The more he tried to suppress his moans the harder it got for him to pretend that nothing was wrong with him. He saw in his peripheral vision that Ashton was starting at him wide eyed.

“What “? Caleb asked in an intimidating tone, despite the amount of pain he was in.

“You….” Ashton trailed off.
