My Atypical Wolf (BL)

Chapter 293: Unknown number

Sebastian headed back from the scene and went straight back to the office. He had to inform Christian what he saw, and unlike Caleb and Ashton they didn’t share a bond that would allow them to see what the other were up to. At least, not yet.

“Hey, Chris, did you check out the images I sent you”? Sebastian asked as soon as he stepped into Christian’s new office.

“You sent me images?” Christian on the other hand was taken aback. It was weird how pale Christian looked as werewolves had more gushing blood in them than humans.

“Yea... you okay?” Sebastian asked his mate.

“Yeah, I am a bit tired that’s all.” Christian groaned. He kept scrolling through his computer for a while. During his scrolling Christian failed to notice the concerning gaze Sebastian had on him for a while. “I don’t see anything. Where did you send me those images?”

“I mailed you.” Sebastian shrugged.

“Nope, it isn’t here.” Christian shrugged.

.....

“Let me see, and with that Sebastain headed up and scrolled through the timeline as well. Sure enough, he didn’t see any message from himself. “That’s weird, lemme check.” and with that Sebastian took out his own phone and opened the sent portion of his mail. Clearly the message had left his phone, and from the looks of it reached Christian as well.

Another moment of confused scrolling until it hit Sebastian, “Wait, is this your personal mail id?”

“No, this the pack alpha mail.” Christian replied. “Is that why it didn’t come? You mailed it to me personally?”

“Yeah,” Sebastian nodded.

“It’s work hours, I won’t be opening my personal mail now.” Christian reminded his mate.

“Oh, I get it. I simply forgot this id was yours now. I think it’s engraved in my mind that this id belongs to your dad.” Sebastian shrugged. “Let me resend these.” and with that a loud ping arrived in Christian’s Laptop.

Christian opened the recently received files and as soon as the image loaded, he flinched a little bit. “Are these... people”?

“Yeah... someone murdered them in this guresome way.” Sebastian sighed.

“Why?” Christian wondered out loud. “This is why Caleb called for you right?”

“Yepp, there is something very suspicious about this. He told me he will inform me further if he finds something else, but for the time being this is all he got. He warned me that we might have to get involved in this.” Sebastian shrugged.

Before their conversation could proceed, there was a loud ring on his phone that ended up distracting both of them. Sebastian looked at the screen to see that it was an unknown number. With his own number being private, he knew that whoever had this number must have a personal contact with him. And based on a few phone calls from the past few days, he had a guess who it could be. “You gonna take that?” Christian urged him.

“It’s an unknown number.” Sebastian shrugged.

“So?” Christian couldn’t fathom why he had to not pick up an unknown number so Sebastian decided to jog the memory of his mate.

“I am an actor, Christian. I don’t pick up random calls I don’t recognise. Unknown numbers are definitely off limits.”

“Okay...” Christain frowned, as a sense of lie could be felt in Sebastian’s words. Sebastian was a good actor, and with Christian’s sleep deprived state, it was even harder to decipher and put everything together. “Well, keep me updated on this. I... should get back to work.”

“You barely took the position, how come you have so much workload already?” Sebastian was baffled, as he mumbled with a bit of an accusatory tone.

“How can I not? My Dad had a backlog of two days, days he spent on the passing the torch ceremony. So now... I am stuck with this.” Christian sighed.

“Wow...” Sebastian mumbled. His phone buzzed in the pocket once more, and that did it. “You know what? I will let you get back to it. I should go ahead and get back to my own business. But, if you need anything, feel free to contact me.” Sebastian let out a half hearted smile before he got out of the room.

After leaving the building, as soon as Sebastian got into his own car, he picked up his buzzing phone, “What”! Sebastian snarled onto the other end.

“Sir, I have been trying to reach you for days. We have an urgent announcement. I have even mailed you about it but I have received no reply from you.” a man from the other end replied.

“Dean, did it ever occur to you that I am busy”? Sebastian snapped. Who was Dean? He was Sebastian’s current agent for his work. And as for the mail, Sebastian did look into it, but couldn’t figure out what to do about it so he left it as it is.

“Sir, if there is some emergency, I can try to convince the producers to postpone the shooting date, but I doubt they will be willing to postpone it beyond a week.” Dean from the other end replied.

“And what if I can’t come even after a week?” Sebastian asked. Sebastian just took the job for this pack, he didn’t have time to go to another place and shoot. At least, not right now. Sebastian was sure he wouldn’t have to worry about all this for at least a few more months, until Dean sent him that message citing that the shoot had been shifted. That they wanted to shoot the pilot beforehand, as they might have a shot with network TV now.

“Then... you might get fired.” with dread in his voice, Dean informed Sebastian.

“What?!” Sebastian snarled onto the other end. “They can’t do that, I have a contract and everything.”

“Apparently there is a clause, and if you can’t comply with the work schedule, they can fire you.” Dean informed Sebastian. “I have to reply to them today, can you please tell me whether or not you will come or not?”

Sebastian thought for a moment. “Tell them that due to an urgent situation, you weren’t able to contact me. Things are still a mess, so if possible postpone the shoot by another week. I will figure out what to do by then.” Sebastian informed Dean. Right now he had a lot to do for the pack, but mainly helped Christian so that his mate didn’t collapse from exhaustion.

On the other hand, he had a chance to be the titular character of his own show, something he dreamed of ever since he had decided to go down the career path of modeling and acting. As Sebastian almost crushed his phone in his hand, he wondered what should be his next step.
