My Atypical Wolf (BL)

Chapter 258: Give him a chance

“Good morning” Ashton mumbled once Caleb got back to the car. He was still shirtless, but he was lucky that no one was nearby, since it was still quite the daylight. In between Caleb’s heat, Ashton somehow managed to find even a more secluded place to park their car and hide for the time being. It was like a weird camping trip, except all they had was their car. Luckily, Caleb had a refill for the tank just before he left for back home and they didn’t need heat in the night, to keep them warm.

“It’s afternoon.” Caleb corrected once he was inside.

“Not for me” Ashton mumbled groggily, as he got up. “Feeling better”

“Better than before, yes... there is still a bit of an after effect left” Caleb informed his mate.

“After effect”? Ashton frowned.

“Yeah, I am still in pain, and I am still horny. Just not too much. I can drive us home” Caleb informed.

“You don’t have to” Ashton informed. “I’ll get us some lunch. And a couple of shirts maybe” He mumbled. Caleb chuckled at that. You see, their session somehow ruined Caleb’s shirt and while Ashton’s sweatshirt was intact, it was definitely not wearable anymore. “I’ll be back,” Ashton exited the car. fre𝑒𝘸𝚎𝚋n૦ѵℯl.c𝒐𝘮

.....

As Caleb sat there alone he caught up with the work he had. Melanie had sent him over ten predicaments that needed his approval and not to mention the status updates he needed to be updated with. How the hell did his brother keep up with this on a daily basis? Caleb scrunched his nose in annoyance.

Ashton returned to their car after around half an hour with five sandwiches and a pair of the couple’s T-shirts and sweatpants. “I ran out of money, so I got these.” He handed a pair to Caleb.

“These cost less?” Caleb was amused. Usually a couple’s stuff costs more, since they are more romantic. Caleb was amused that these didn’t.

“I stole them from a bachelor’s party.” Ashton shrugged. “I think these are copies for the groom’s shirt,” Ashton shrugged. Opening it, he realised that the greyish shirt had written. ‘Groom to be’ all over the front. Coincidentally enough, not only was it their size, but somehow the title fit them perfectly.

“Talk about making things work” Caleb chuckled amused by him.

“Yeah well, I am good at alternatives” Ashton shrugged. “Listen, let’s not drive until you’re over your heat. Your scent is not that prominent, but it’s still better to recover before we leave” Ashton insisted.

“Ashton I am fine, I need to return” Caleb shook his head.

“I know you are,” Ashton nodded. “But I am not fine with you driving this in mid heat”

“I am not in mid heat. If anything I am in end heat” Caleb rolled his eyes. Ashton scrunched his brows and tilted his head, “You know what I mean. Come on Ashton, we got to go back soon anyways”

“Look I get it, but please let’s wait it out a bit longer? It’s already about to be dusk, let’s not make this journey too risky” Ashton shrugged.

“What are you talking about? It’s two o’clock” Caleb rolled his eyes as he put on his new stolen T-shirt.

“Please, I beg ya. Let’s not leave yet” Ashton groaned.

“What’s going on with you? You used to believe I was tougher” Caleb folded his arms.

“I still do, but...” Ashton sighed. “You told me you have been taking suppressants. They have side effects. You may feel like your heat is about to be over, but what if it comes back. We might not find a comfortable stay like this the next time. Then what”? Ashton asked.

“Ashton, I didn’t take them this time,” Caleb reminded him.

“I know, but they can affect you for a longer time, months after you take them. Trust me, my mom used to take it, so I know. It has weird side effects” Ashton whispered.

Caleb opened his mouth to argue but closed it again, “Fine, we can wait it out” he sighed.

Ashton gave Caleb a giant smile followed by a huge kiss on his cheek. Caleb rolled his eyes at the sudden burst of affection, but didn’t say much. ” Say what? Was it your brother? Earlier this afternoon”? Ashton asked.

“Yeah, he wanted to share my secret with Sebastian,” Caleb shrugged, as he took the first bite of the second sandwich. After an entire night of sex, he was really that hungry.

“And”?

“And I said, go for it” Caleb shrugged.

“Is that really okay with you?” Ashton asked.

“Yeah, Sebastian is a good guy. And if it works out between them, he might become family. And for me, my family should know my secret” Caleb shrugged.

“Really? Does Connor know”? Ashton asked.

Caleb froze mid bite before looking at Ashton, while lowering his sandwich. “Connor is a different story”

“Why? He is your family, he is your son” Ashton pressed.

“He is a kid,” Caleb added. 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om

“Who is smarter beyond his age. If he could take the fact that he is adopted, and that his real parents died so he could live, I don’t see why he can’t accept the fact that you’re an omega” Ashton pressed further. Caleb opened his mouth but instead looked away without saying anything. “Unless, you can’t” Ashton whispered.

“Right, I am not ready to tell him,” Caleb sighed. “The entire pack is wary of him because he comes off as different. He has learned omegas are supposed to be weak and all other bullshit from the kids around him. I don’t want to disappoint him” Caleb admitted.

“That kid won’t be disappointed,” Ashton chuckled. “If he could forgive me, the jerk who abandoned his Dad, then he can accept you for who you are”

“Maybe, but he might be disappointed that I lied,” Caleb pursed his lips.

“What if he eventually finds out. The longer you wait, the more disappointed he will be.” Ashton pointed out.

“I dunno,” Caleb sighed.

“Come on, give him a chance. You lied to him so he found out the truth the other way. Tell him yourself this time, tell him why you hid it. Maybe he will understand. Maybe he will even stand up when other kids make fun of the omegas as weaklings” Ashton shrugged.

“Since when are you the master of pep talks” Caleb narrowed his eyes.

“Well, when you date Caleb Wrisberg, you are bound to pick up a few things” Ashton smirked.

“Oh yeah” Caleb raised his eyebrows in a teasing manner before the both ended up laughing.
