My Atypical Wolf (BL)

Chapter 297



“And... what would my job be”? Ashton asked skeptically.

“Well, I kind of need you to manage my mayor duties.” Christian shrugged. “Melanie does that for now, but managing both Mayor and Pack duties can get quite hard.” Christian sighed. “So”?

“I have never been a manager.” Ashton informed Christian.

“Really? Cause I hear the garage owner left you incharge quite a few times.” Christian snorted.

“That’s different. It’s just a garage. The work you do, if I mess up it’ll cost more than 20 dollars and 77 cents.” Christian tilted his head at such specifics.

“Look, you can always consult Melanie and me if you ever need help. Besides I’ve checked your school records, you are good enough.” Christian nodded.

.....

“You’ve checked my school records?” Ashton was surprised to hear that. “Why... did you plan on offering me a job for a while”? Ashton frowned suspiciously.

“No, I just checked them when I did a background check on you after I found out you were the guy my lil’ brother chose to get marked by”. Christian declared.

“Really?” Ashton wasn’t sure if he was more impressed or creeped out by that.

“Of course. You don’t believe I’d not research the guy my lil’ brother is dating, now would you?” Christian scoffed.

“We weren’t dating back then.... But OK.” Ashton shrugged.

“So?” Christian asked. “You want this job or not”?

“Well... do I get paid?” Ashton asked. “Of course you do. It’s a job” Christian said. “Don’t worry, I’ll pay you substantial amount. I won’t rip you off just because you’re family.”

“Yeah....”

“You don’t wanna get paid”? Chirstian asked due to noticeable disappointment in Ashton’s eyes upon hearing that.

“Its just.... It’s just I don’t know how I feel about working for my fiancés family.” Ashton admitted. “I mean, I would love to help out.. But getting paid for it...makes it more official.”

“You don’t want official.” Christian snorted. “Caleb was right, you are an oddball.”

“He called me an oddball?” Ashton was a bit offended.

“He called you different.” Christian shrugged. “Oddball is my interpretation.” Ashton shook his head at Christian and let out a sigh.

“Fine, I’ll do it.” Ashton mumbled. How could it hurt? He was unemployed anyways, at least like this he could maintain a close tie with the pack and maybe even protect the pack from whatever the nightmare was headed towards them.

“Good,” Christian smirked. “Just get me the files for now, I’ll have Melanie draw a draft of your position and all the work that you would be taking responsibility off. Get me back at your earliest convenience.” Christian declared.

With that, Ashton exited the office, got Christian the files, and got back home. He thought a lot about Christian’s offer and wondered even further about if or not he made the right decision. He even sort of came up with pros and cons of working for Christian, but still found himself in dilemma.

Finally, he decided it was for the best if he was to do this, consult with Caleb. Since it was still the middle of the day, it was pretty early for Caleb to come back. Yet, after what happened last day, Ashton didn’t want to go to the Police station at the moment.

Sighing, he decided to check up on his mate with his link instead. He noticed (more like saw through Caleb’s eyes) as they talked with the Victim’s families. Apparently the victim has been identified, and Caleb had been briefing them while expressing how sorry he was for their loss.

Once Caleb was done, Ashton decided to let Caleb know about his presence. [That was harsh.] Ashton whispered. Caleb, who was sitting quitely keeping his head buried between his hands jolted in surprise as his mate’s voice broke through.

[Ash... hey. What’s going on?] Caleb asked.

Ashton refrained about sharing his side of the problems and asked Caleb instead, [How about you? Looks like things are pretty rough.]

[Well, thanks to the stupid journalist, I am even further swamped. I don’t think I can take even a single second off from this case.] Caleb sighed. [Damn it!] he groaned.

[Was there anything... that worked as a clue to victim? Any motive?] Ashton asked.

[Nothing that we know off. We have...] Caleb trailled off as both him and Ashton (via Caleb) heard one of the officers call for Caleb. Caleb responded and then told Ashton, [Hey, um... Connor’s butler took the day off. He is sick of something, can you pick up Connor and Ivy from the school? If possible even Carmen] Caleb asked.

[You want me to? After what happened yesterday?] Ashton was taken aback to be asked. He loved the prospect, but he also kinda dreaded it. What if whoever was after him found him when he was with the kids.

[Yeah, I know Connor is good at calming you down] Caleb scoffed. [And even so, I know you would protect them no matter what] he replied. [Ashton, I really gotta go now. See you tonight] and with that Caleb was gone.

If Ashton wanted he could have spent a few more time stalking Caleb to see where his trail leads him, but Ashton decided against it and got back to his... well doing nothing. He called Connor’s butler to find out the official timing of the school, and realising that Connor’s classes were about to end, Ashton decided to go ahead and pick the kids up as per Caleb’s directions. It should be quick and simple... right?

[[ Mated to the Young Alpha (BxB) ]]

Summary:

Sold to an Alpha Lord at the young age of seventeen, Zhane Bradshaw, an omega was doomed like any other male omega on the planet. But he was determined to fight his fate, even if it meant going down a dark path and killing the man he was sold to.

With a mark on his neck there was no way he could ever end up with someone unless he had a fated mate, and according to the legends an omega will always be paired with an alpha. Zhane was determined to kill his fated mate no matter what and was prepared to lead a lonely life, wandering around wherever the road took him.

His plans hit a wall when at the age of twenty five he met an innocent little twelve year old boy, Mark McCain, who not just smelled insanely like Forest Dew, but also was his fated mate. What will happen to these two? Read the story to find out.

PS: There will be no explicit scenes as long as Mark is 12 (Minor).
