My Atypical Wolf (BL) Chapter 304

Chapter 304: New at Work

With lanie’s help, Ashton managed to call for the press conference late in the evening and Ashton learned a few other official stuff from lanie as well. While Ashton was a bit awkward around her at first, she helped him regardless, causing him to ease into it. After a while Ashton even started to enjoy the process.

“Thanks for helping out. I am really clueless about everything.” Ashton chuckled as he sorted out so files.

“You’ll get used to it. Give it ti.” She smiled. “Christian will clear out his old office for you to work there, but for the ti being you can work from here.” lanie declared, showing around her office.

“Thanks for everything.” Ashton nodded.

It was around late afternoon when lanie excused herself. “Sorry, I need to step out for a while. You’ll be alright?”

“Yeah, if I need anything I’ll link you?” Ashton asked.

“Sure.” lanie shrugged.

.....

“Everything okay?” Ashton asked.

“Yeah... My mate is here.” She shrugged. “I’ll see you later.” and with that she signed off. Ashton was halfway done with his organizing when Ashton received a text from Caleb. [Call when you are available]

Ashton, since he was by himself, decided to do it now and after just one ring his mate picked up. “Hi,” Ashton began.

“We found so animal hair at the site that’s been regarded as a wolf’s...” Caleb began.

“That’s obvious isn’t it? I was there.” Ashton shrugged.

“Yeah...” Caleb sighed. “That’s not my main concern, but we also found so human DNA.” He added with concern evident in voice. “Two, to be precise.”

“One is the body himself...” Ashton trailed off. “And one is my own,” he sighed.

“Yeah...” Caleb sighed. “Don’t worry, right now you are not in our database, with no criminal record whatsoever. I just need to update the database with so false data so that it never matches yours.” he declared.

“Whoa, you can do that”? Ashton was amazed.

“Not , specifically.” Caleb clarified. “But soone who is good with tech.”

“I doubt anyone who is not a pack mber is willing do pull off this kind of stupid shit.” Ashton scoffed.

“There is soone in our pack who is good with softwares. I am not sure if he can do it or not... but it may be worth a shot to ask him?” Caleb suggested.

“Okay, lem know if this person can.” Ashton sighed.

“Wait, I can’t ask him.” Caleb declared. “We have not been on good terms for over two decades now, and even if I went ahead and asked him, he would shut down. You gotta ask him yourself. You actually might be able to.”

“I am not that good with people. I can’t just go up to random person and ask them to aid in hiding my murderous spree.” Ashton rolled his eyes.

“It’s not random. It’s George. lanie’s mate. You can reach him via her.” Caleb declared.

“Yeah, he is still a stranger. What if he hates because I am your mate?” Ashton asked.

“He won’t hate you.” Caleb snorted. “He is not a stranger. Didn’t you use to be in his music group in high school?”

Ashton thought for a mont. “Oh... it’s him.” his pitch increased as he recalled. “Yeah, I know him. But, we were not close or anything.” he fumbled. “Although I don’t think he would get mad at , I once helped his sister.” Ashton recalled.

“There you go, just talk to him. You have better chances of convincing him than I do.” Caleb sighed and hung up. Ashton went still for a mont considering what should his next step be, only to be startled back to reality when there was a tap on his shoulder.

“Dear God, you scared !” Ashton huffed at lanie.

“? Aren’t you a pureblooded Alpha?” She smirked.

“Yeah, but I still have as good reflexes as anybody.” Ashton shook his head. He considered whether or not he should bring it up with her.

“What’s wrong with you”? lanie asked.

“I wanted to ask a favor from you.” Ashton mumbled.

“Sure, anything.” lanie shrugged. It took a while, but Ashton managed to explain his situation to lanie after several attempts. “So, you want George to tamper with evidence?” she asked after Ashton was done.

“If he can... I an I no I don’t deserve this-” Ashton began.

“No, I get it. You were not yourself. You shouldn’t be convicted for a cri you didn’t do.” lanie agreed. “But I think you should talk to George about this directly.”

“Yeah... that’s what I am afraid of.” Ashton sighed.

“Co on, it won’t be so bad. How about, as your coworker, I invite you and your kids to our house for a dinner? You can ask him then.” lanie smiled.

“No Caleb”? Ashton smirked.

“You know that’s not a good idea.” lanie sighed.

“Why would he help ? I am Caleb’s mate.” Ashton pursed his lips.

“He married .” lanie smirked. “I am one of Caleb’s best friends so clearly his boundaries are gray.”

“Right.” Ashton ended up laughing lightly. “Can I ask sothing?” he was encouraged by a light ‘hm’ from lanie. “What happened between Caleb and George?”

“Well, it was mostly between Matt and George. I think Matt said sothing offensive about ogas and since George’s sister is one, he took it to heart.” lanie explained. “With Caleb, he was just trying to resolve the fight by trying to calm them down.”

“And that’s got George mad?” Ashton wondered.

“Well, Caleb said sothing along the lines of ‘You are overreacting’. George took it as taking Matt’s side so...” lanie sighed.

“That was... uncalled for. No matter what, anything offensive is not okay.” Ashton mumbled. “But, no matter what Caleb would never be against any oga! Trust .”

“I know that.” lanie nodded. “And I also know why. But I can’t tell it to George because it’s not my secret to tell.” she shrugged as well.

“Wait... what secret”? Ashton paled. Was lanie aware of Caleb’s oga heritage? Sothing that even his best friend Matt wasn’t aware of.

“I am not an idiot like Matt.” lanie said, as if she had read Ashton’s mind. “I figured it out.”

“He knows that you know?” Ashton asked.

“Yeah, I have talked about this with Caleb.” lanie shrugged. “He asked not to tell George about it, so, yeah.” she nodded.

“Wow...” Ashton nodded. “I am glad he told soone else.” There was a mont of silence in between them, after which Ashton asked, “Wait, this reminds ? Where is Matt? I haven’t seen him in forever.”
