My Atypical Wolf (BL) Chapter 13

Chapter 13: Caring for you

“Where”? Caleb asked him.

“Well, I was thinking about my house”. He shrugged.

“What”? Caleb deadpanned. He was grateful, but not so much that he would risk going to his house. What if all of this was a part of so big elaborate plan. His heart begged him to trust Ashton, but his mind shouted otherwise.

“Well, I live in the outskirts, so your scent won’t be everywhere. Plus my mom is better at taking care of anyone than I am”.? Ashton shrugged.

Caleb thought for a mont but struggled to get a definitive answer.

After a whole minute Ashton spoke up “Or I’ll leave”, he turned around to leave.

“Wait”! Caleb tried to get out of the bed, but he couldn’t stand properly due to the pain. Ashton rushed towards him and supported him to stand up.

They checked out of the place and went to their car. “Oh no”. Caleb murmured softly.

“What”? Ashton looked up at him.

.....

“I can’t drive in this condition”. Caleb admitted honestly. “Do you have a license”? He asked Ashton.

He shook his head before saying “I have a learner’s permit”. He shrugged.

“You are gonna ruin my car, aren’t you”. Caleb said sadly.

“Or you stay here. I’ll leave”. Ashton threatened again. Caleb grabbed his wrist tightly “Let’s go”.

On their way back Caleb spent most of his ti with his eyes closed. If Ashton didn’t know how much pain he was in, he would have said that Caleb was asleep.

Ashton’s mother was delighted that he showed up when he did. She was worried about him, mostly because she knew how he can be when he lost his temper. The kid only listened to her when he did. She wasn’t afraid that he will reveal his identity. Unlike Ashton, she does not want him to hide from who he is just for their sake. She was just worried that he would end up doing sothing he regrets in his temper.

What surprised his mother was when she spotted a second person behind Ashton. He was sweating and a very strong scent hit her nose, and she realized what was going on here.

“Co inside. Oh dear”. She helped Caleb get inside and Ashton followed them.

“Can he stay with us for a while”?he asked his mother.

“Oh honey, I really want to. But we have no extra bed rooms available”. She said, feeling apologetic.

Caleb frowned a little but quickly changed it to hide his disappointnt.

“He can stay in my room. I will take the couch in the living room”. Ashton suggested.

“Are you sure”? His mother asked with concern. She knew what the sll of an oga in heat did to him. He was good at self control, but she hated to see him suffer as well.

“Yes, I am sure”. He smiled at her to convince her. His mother slightly nodded and asked him to take Caleb upstairs.

He helped him get comfortable on his bed. And once he was comfortable, he started scavenging the room for any essentials he could need for a while. It would be for the best if he avoided this room for a while.

When he was about to leave the room Caleb called out “Why are you helping ”? He asked him softly.

“What do you an”? Ashton scrunched his eyebrows at him.

“Well, you don’t even know very well. We just t, and still you are going to such lengths for ? Even giving up your room for ”? Caleb asked inquisitively.

“I shouldn’t help you just because I don’t know you very well”? Ashton asked him skeptically. Caleb shrugged which was followed by a heavy sigh from Ashton

“I don’t know what kind of people you are surrounded with, but I will help anyone who needs it irrespective of how well I know them”. Ashton told him.

“So, you are saying, that if I were soone else, you would do the sa”? He asked Ashton.

“Exactly”. He nodded and left.

He felt a tinge of bitterness in his heart. For so reason he thought maybe he was special. It could be because no one ever treated him with such kindness, not even his own parents. It was hard for him to believe that a pure-blooded Alpha, despite knowing what Caleb is and that too in his condition, won’t take advantage of him.

He t Mrs. Parker and he could imagine why Ashton was this way. She raised him to be respectful irrespective of blood status.

He tried to take so rest but the amount of pain will not let him have it. After a while Mrs Parker knocked on the door. “Can I co in”? She asked.

“Yes…” he replied weakly.

She was holding a tray that had a bowl. She placed it at the nightstand and helped him sit up.

“Here, have so soup. It’s my special recipe. It helps with the pain”. She smiled at him. He thought for a mont and nodded reluctantly. Why couldn’t his family treat him like this? Yes, they were Alpha’s and had bigger responsibilities, but he was their son too. They have always favoured Christian over Caleb when it ca to anything. Luckily he was close with his brother, or else he would probably resent him.

“You okay “? Mrs Parker asked Caleb softly. He nodded at her before she wiped a tear from his cheek. That’s when he realised he was crying. He wasn’t soone who cried that often. Must be due to all these overwhelming hormones right?

He obediently followed any instructions given to him by Mrs Parker. He was indeed surprised by how it made him feel better. The pain was still there, but sohow it was a little less. It was enough to make him fall asleep, and due to his sleep deprived state he fell asleep imdiately.

Downstairs Ashton arranged a few bed sheets and was dragging them outside, when his mother spotted him she asked him, “What are you doing Ashton”? She was clearly surprised.

“I am not rich enough to own a porsche. I am trying to hide his car so we get no unwanted attention” He justified his actions.

“You know that no one actually cos here right”? She asked him skeptically.

“I am just being cautious” He shrugged and left. She chuckled at her son’s behaviour.

When he was about to enter his house, two little girls hugged him from both sides tightly. “Ashton, you are back”! They exclaid with enthusiasm.

“You guys missed ”? He asked them with a smile as he hugged them back. If there was anyone who could lift his mood no matter what his situation was, it was his baby twin sisters.

When they entered both the girls scrunch their nose “Is soone here”? Ava asked.

“Yes, I actually brought a friend over”.

“Is she your girlfriend”? Ariel bead at him. His eyes widened and he ended up laughing.

“It’s a boy” He told them in between his laughs.

“So he is your boyfriend”? Ava exclaid. Ashton stopped laughing and probably blushed a little bit. His ears felt a tad warr. He was worried what if Caleb heard them and misunderstood again. “NOO”! He exclaid to them.

“He is just a friend. Actually we are not even that close” He explained himself. “Why do you girls think it’s my boyfriend, I can’t bring back who is just a friend”? He asked them as he sat with both of them on the couch.

“Because you never brought any friends over”! Ava pouted.

“Be honest, do you like him”? Ariel pestered further. Ashton facepald himself as he tried to ignore the warmth in his ears.

“That is enough girls”! Their mother ca and scolded them. “Go get changed, I will put food on the table for all of you”. She forced the twins away.

“So, was Ariel right”? She teased Ashton once the girls were out of the vicinity.

“Mom”! Ashton whined while Mrs Parker just laughed at her son.
