My Atypical Wolf (BL)

Chapter 230

Chapter 230: I Trust You

Christian had to wake up the ones who were asleep. One by one they got down, Christian, Riley and Matt even carried a few kids so as to not disturb them. Christian stared at the old warehouse as he stood in front of him contemplating his choice. He entered the building and found a suitable room for their stay.

All the workers had resting rooms here, making it equipped with beds. They put at least 2 kids, sometimes four if they are too babies, in one bed and managed to accumulate everyone. Christian made sure to cover their tracks and hid the bus in the garage. Once everything was settled he finally connected with Melanie.

Turns out their current location was much closer to their pack thus enabling connection with the members. In retrospect this was a much better option. Not only will it allow them to ask for help in time, it will also enable them to arrange backup quickly if required.

He explained everything to her and he expected Melanie to lash out at Christian for not convincing her aunt to follow but she was clearly unbothered. As if she expected her aunt to react this way. [Don’t worry, she is tougher than she appears] Melanie informed him.

[What’s the status of the pack right now?] asked Christian.

[We haven’t received any attack since your departure.] Melanie assured. [But... I did receive an email. From the Luna of Ice Fountain pack. She wants to talk to you. Face to face] she explained.

[Trying to single me out?] Christian scoffed.

.....

[Not exactly] Melanie hesitated. [She merely wants a video conference. I wonder what she wants now that her mate is dead. I assume it’s not something good.]

[No, it must not be] Christian sighed. [I’ll come to the main office and sort things out. I do not want to risk exposing this location] He confirmed and let go of the link.

He headed off inside and informed Matt and Riley of the same. “Wait, you are leaving everything to us”?

“Don’t worry, I’ll send someone in for a replacement.” Christian assured.

He headed off to the pack hospital through the back exit and headed off to see if his brother was awake or not. To his delight, Caleb was not only wide awake but was also in his human form, chatting with Ashton whilst holding each other’s hand. An involuntary smile crept up his face as he was glad Caleb finally had his mate back to rely upon. Despite the recent injury, Caleb had a smile on his face.

Caleb and Ashton would have noticed Christian’s presence due to his scent if not for the strong scent of phenyl in the hospital. Their scents spread less in this hospital environment. “He woke up a few hours ago” A familiar voice spoke from Christian’s back.

“”Sebastian” Christian acknowledged his presence.

“Being here brings back a lot of memories,” Sebastian mumbled. Crhirtian looked at him and tilted his head in confusion. “I woke up here when I first arrived here. This is I guess I first met you” He mumbled. Christian looked away once he understood what Sebastian was implying. He didn’t comment on anything whatsoever.

“What happened at the safe house”? Sebastian asked him. Christian explained everything about the dead wolf and how Luna wanted to talk to him.

“I need to go back to the office soon,” Christain declared. “I asked Melanie to look after everyone here. So I need you to go back to the warehouse. Keep an eye on the kids”. He said.

“What?” Sebastian jerked his head. “Why me”?

“Why not?” Christian asked him back. “You don’t think you can handle it”?

Sebastian shot him a glare. “It’s not that. That Riley dude is there right? I am not very comfortable around him”. He cringed.

“What”? Christian snorted. “What are you talking about? That boy loves you.”

“Exactly. I don’t mix my wolf life with my acting life. This is a whole new territory for me” Sebastian shrugged.

“Look, I am sorry I am forcing you to mix those two, but we are in the middle of a Crisis now. I need to ensure that I do what’s best for the pack. I need someone to look after the kids out there, I need someone whom I can trust completely. You are one of the few” Christian declared.

“You are just saying that because of your crush on me” Sebastian shook his head.

Christian shot him a quick glare before saying, “I am saying that because you had our back every time we were in trouble and you were around. You had our back when that witch attacked us even when you barely knew us at that time. You had our back when we were dealing with worenzine. My point is, you have earned this trust, despite that random kiss earlier” Christian declared. “As for my crush, I am sure this is part of the reason why I had a crush, but that’s not why I trust you.”

Sebastian stood there wide eyed as he took everything in. If the situation were a bit different he might have kissed him again, he was that moved at least. But this was a serious situation, so he simply nodded and took his leave”

Christian headed off to the office and switched on his computer. He received a forwarded mail from Melanie that she received from Luna. It went,

‘This battle had gone out of hand, from both the sides. I have lost my mate and many are gravely injured. As a de facto leader, I am taking charge and calling off the war for now before anyone else gets hurt.

However, I would like to discuss something very important with you. Given the depth of the situation I could understand why a face to face meeting is off the table, but I need to ensure it’s you I am talking to so I request a video conference. You have 24 hours before I retract my order to hold back.

‘Your’s sincerely

Genevieve Fountain.

Christian read that message several times to make sure if or not there was any catch. Weighing down every pros and cons of the situation, he finally dialed the Luna and waited for her to respond as to why she requested this meeting.
