My Atypical Wolf (BL)

Chapter 300: Food

“What offer?” Caleb frowned. Ashton turned around and stared at Caleb with widened eyes. While he usually won’t hesitate this much to say anything to him, he was aware that there was some sort of conflict that happened between the two brothers and that it was the reason why Caleb might not be on board with this thing. Caleb raised an eyebrow after the prolonged silence, so Ashton simply decided to say it and get over with it.

“I got an offer to work with your brother.” Ashton shrugged. “I mean, your brother offered it to me. I guess he has quite the workload, and maybe he can use my help.” he sighed.

“Really”? Caleb asked blankly, which made it really hard for Ashton to guess whether or not Caleb was irritated by the thought of it or not. “Well, how do you feel about it?” he asked Ashton.

“I dunno.” Ashton shrugged. “I was going to talk to you about it first.”

“And we are talking.” Caleb pointed out. “So tell me Ash, you wanna do this?”

“...” Ashton took a moment. “Yes?”

“Great.” Caleb smiled softly. “Then go ahead and do it.”

.....

“You are okay with this”? Ashton asked.

“Why won’t I be?” Caleb frowned. “You can work wherever you want.” Caleb snorted. “Plus, you will be working within Pack limits, which means you will stay here, within supervision in case you... well, wolf out again.”

“Wow.” Ashton nodded. “I did not expect you to be this chill. I thought you had a fight with Christian”?

“We’ll get over it.” Caleb brushed it off. “Let my brother know you will work for him.” Caleb shrugged and with that he turned around to look at the kitchen. “Do you have any supplies left? Because I am still a bit hungry.”

“Of course you are, you have been working non stop for days.” Ashton shook his head. “Why don’t you wait for a while, I will cook something.”

“Let me help you”. Caleb shrugged.

“Nah, I got this. You should take some rest.”

“I’ll rest after I am done eating. For now, I am bored. Let me help you” Caleb urged. Ashton didn’t bother to brush off Caleb again, and allowed his mate to do as he pleased. How could he say no to his mate after all?

Christian made sure he finished his job as soon as possible, for which he even skipped lunch. No wonder his stomach was growling like a hungry wolf (pun intended) by the time it was evening. When he was almost on the verge of finishing the paperwork, he called Melanie for her assistance, and took off early.

On his way back to house (to Sebastian’s house and not to the pack house) he decided to go pick up some groceries, but ended up buying lots of eggs, as he was way too hungry and he needed quick protein. Eggs cooked fast, quality meat would take time.

When he reached, as soon as he entered he heard some loud yelling noises. To check, Christian dumped the pile of eggs in the kitchen and headed for Sebastian’s bedroom. (Yes, Christian had a key to this place. How couldn’t he?)

He noticed Sebastian was on the phone and was probably yelling at his agent or something. Upon noticing Christian, Sebastian wrapped it up quickly and approached Christain. “Everything alright?” Christian asked his fuming mate.

“Yeah, usual media drama” Sebastian rolled his eyes. “What about you?”

“I am good.”

“You’re done early,” Sebastian commented skeptically.

“Yeah, I thought I would spend some time with you before you’re off to shoot.” Christian shrugged. “I’ll always have work, you on the other hand...” he smirked.

“Wow... really”? Sebastian was taken aback. He was excited by Christian’s thoughtful gesture so much so that he almost forgot the arguments of his insufferable agent. “Wait, about your brother’s case..?”

“We’re taking care of it. Don’t worry.” Christian shrugged. “And, if I am lucky enough, I’ll soon have help with my hands. I’ll be fine” He smiled.

Sebastian frowned as he stared at Christian, “Help?”

“Ashton. He quit his job, so I offered him one for me. I hope he takes it.” Christian shrugged. “Enough about all these issues, now tell me, what do you wanna do today”?

Sebastian smirked followed by him shaking his head. He approached Christain close enough, but before he could get too close a loud growling noise interrupted them. “Seems like your stomach answered for us”. Sebastian chuckled. “Let’s get you something to eat”. He shrugged.

“Yeah, I bought eggs,” Christian shrugged.

Sebastian shook his head before exiting the room. For some reason he assumed the eggs would be cooked, but Sebastian was surprised to see them raw. “Do you plan on cooking”? Sebastian asked Christian.

“Sure.” Christian shrugged. He was about to step in the kitchen when Sebastian stopped him midway.

“Hold on, I’ve already ordered pizza, so...” Sebastian admitted.

“When?” Christian was taken aback. “You planned on having dinner this early?” He was amused.

“No I saw you coming, and I felt you were hungry, so I ordered beforehand. Man, that’s a lot of eggs for one evening”. Sebastian shook his head.

“You saw me coming”? Christian frowned. “From your window?” Christian looked around as he tried to pinpoint which window exactly. He found out that none of those windows actually pointed directly to the road.

“No...” Sebastian clarified. “I saw it...felt it? In my head”. He declared. Christian’s frown deepened significantly, so Sebastian pulled down his T-shirt to expose the end of his collarbones where it met the nape and showed him the faded purplish bite mark, whilst his own cheeks flushed a bit of red.

Christian blinked at the mark as it took him a second to comprehend what Sebastian was trying to convey. Sebastian let go of his shirt and asked, “you can do that right?”

“I don’t think so,” Christian whispered.

“Ahh...” Sebastian nodded. “Maybe... since we’re both the Alpha... we both need to mark each other to complete the bond.” He mumbled.

“You think so?” Christian wondered out loud. “Wait, do you think... Do you wanna mark me? Now?” Christian asked.
