My Atypical Wolf (BL)

Was this supposed to happen? Even when you’re human if you’re mated to some wolf you should at least feel attraction right? Seemed like there were lot of inconsistencies in their legends

However, after the whole week things started to get trickier. Till then their biggest challenge, aside from academic ones, was a big reveal to Warren. However, when on Monday after two weeks they were having lunch at the cafeteria a peculiar smell filled their nostrils.

Both Caleb and Ashton looked up from their food and looked at each other. Their disgusted expression mirrored each other. [What is that?] Ashton linked his mate and asked. Since it had to do with scents, he decided it was best to be discrete.

[I dunno. Never have I ever smelled such a pungent smell in my entire lifetime.] Caleb replied.

[The fact that it smells the same to both of us is a bit concerning] Ashton sighed. He looked in front of him, he scanned the entire area behind Caleb who was sitting face to face with him, and Caleb followed the same suit once he realised what his mate was upto.

It was a bit hard to decipher the exact source of the scent from a single point. But he wasn’t sure how to leave in the middle of his meal. [Do you spot anything?] Caleb asked his mate after a moment.

.....

[Nothing suspicious that’s for sure] Ashton replied. [Whatever it is, it’s good with hiding]

[Should we be really concerned?] Caleb asked him when the smell finally disappeared.

[I wonder] Ashton replied. It was easy to tell even Ashton was starting to worry about the situation.

The smell did not appear to them for the rest of the day. Ashton wondered if he should be worried or not. Honestly he was worried about his mate more than himself. The thing with such ominous smells is that they constitute a threat. When something smells this repulsive to both of them, it must not be a good news.

When the day was over a wave of relief washed over him. An entire day passed but nothing bad happened. He started to consider that maybe it was nothing, that it was simply a smell coming to them stronger because of their werewolves genes. After all, the kitchen was quite right there. Who is to say they didn’t burn anything?

When he woke up the next day his concern was almost forgotten until he left his room. The commotion in the premises was uncanny and held a certain amount of anxiety amongst all the individuals. “What’s going on”? He mumbled. He didn’t ask anyone in particular, but somehow his talkative roommate who was on his way to their room heard him and took it as an invitation to talk.

“Some missing cases are going on,” his roommate replied.

“Missing cases”? From the very first time ever since entering this dorm did he reply to his roommate in such a straightforward manner. A glint of smile amidst the chaos appeared on the face of his roommate.

“Some of our seniors disappeared last night”, He explained.

“Wait, our seniors”? Ashton paused. He didn’t care about many seniors, but there was one senior he absolutely cared about.

“Yeah, each from three different departments”. His roommate shrugged.

“Who were they? Which departments”? Ashton asked. The urgency in his voice had become evident enough to receive suspicious gazes from people around him.

The fact is, even though Ashton had no intention of hiding, his relationship with Caleb is yet to spread like a wildfire in their campus. To their eyes, the exaggerated response of the cold unbothered guy definitely seemed like a big deal.

“I dunno”, his roommate replied. He was starting to feel uncomfortable by Ashton’s intimidating aura.

“Zack, find out who and tell me”! Ashton literally shouted in front of the entire campus. Not only Zack, but almost everyone stared at him like he lost his mind or something.

“What do you want me to do”? Zack replied exasperated. “All I know is that none of them were from my department.” He mumbled and took his leave. He didn’t want to deal with annoyed Ashton any further.

Relief washed over Ashton as he heard that. Caleb was definitely in his department, and therefore not one of the people who disappeared. Even if it was a good news he still felt the urge to go and check for himself. It was hard to calm down fully without confirming with his own eyes.

He wanted to storm off but noticed most of the eyes are on him. [What are you doing?] He heard his mate in his ears.

[Where are you?] Ashton asked him back instead ignoring Caleb’s question.

[The corridor above you. What’s wrong with you? Why are you letting your scent out?] Concerned, asked Caleb.

That’s when Ashton realized that in the heat of the moment his control over his scent slipped. He stopped the release of his pheromones immediately and tried to notice if there were any changes of the expression amongst the people around him.

It shouldn’t for normal humans, but if it did there was meant to be something sketchy with that. [Well? What is happening?] Caleb insisted in the link.

[Someone disappeared] Ashton replied.

[What?] Caleb was surprised. How come he had no idea about the situation just from a floor above? [Who] Caleb asked.

[I myself don’t know about it.] Ashton admitted. He informed Caleb about what his roommate told him. Once he was done Caleb sighed and assured him that he was fine, having guessed Ashton’s reaction to the news correctly.

[Do you think it has something to do with that ominous smell?] Caleb asked.

[Possible] Ashton replied.
