My Atypical Wolf (BXB)

It was you!

"It was you…" Caleb managed to mutter after a while.

"What do you mean"? Ashton asked him, confused. 

"You killed James"!  Caleb accused him.

"No I didn't"! Ashton who was still not over with his episode of rage shouted at him. His eyes turned blazing red for a moment and Caleb flinched visibly for a moment. "I am sorry" Ashton said softly as a reflex as he realized what he had done.

Ashton took a few steps back and tried to calm down himself before he said anything else. Caleb's smell did not help much in the process.

The room was quiet for a whole minute before anyone said anything. 

"But you were there right"?  Caleb mustered up the courage to ask him.

Ashton simply nodded at him. "He was the one who tried to kidnap me". he told Caleb.

Caleb started to think for a while but the pain made him disoriented. He clutched his stomach while grimacing and asked Ashton "Be honest, why did you bring me here"? 

"Maybe I lied about what I am, but I never lied about anything else. I don't have any ulterior motives". Ashton admitted honestly. 

"Seems hard to believe, but alright". Caleb muttered.

Ashton who however heard him visibly tensed. He hated the Alphas who tried to take advantage of the omegas in heat, and here he was accused of being one despite trying his level best to control his urges. 

He approached Caleb and put both his hands on either side of the latter. Caleb who was sitting down before leaned on the headstand. His expression seemed brave, that despite all the pain he will kick Ashton if he tries anything funny. But there was a tinge of terror in his eyes, because deep down he knew that if they fought when Caleb was in this condition, there was no chance that he could win. 

Ashton brought his face slowly to Caleb's neck as if he was about to kiss it. He touched the nape of his neck with the tip of his nose as if he was sniffing it. But instead of kissing, he brought his lips next to his ears and whispered, "Hmm, you do smell delicious. Maybe I should do something". Caleb tried to retract himself but he was blocked by Ashton's arms. He closed his eyes tightly and clutched the bedsheets with his fists.

Ashton, who observed the other's reaction, smirked. He released Caleb and stood up straight. The latter opened his eyes slowly and looked at Ashton timidly. Ashton folded his arms and spoke, "Don't worry, I won't force myself on someone who doesn't want me. Even in a situation like this. As for my basic urges, I live with three omegas, I have good self control".

Caleb blinked at him but remained silent. He was a bit relieved, but he barely knew Ashton. He wasn't sure how much he can trust him. Ashton motioned Caleb with his eyes to look at the counter next to him. Caleb followed the other's gaze and found a pineapple flavored drink at the table. He took it in his hands and looked at Ashton. "Drink it, it should help". Ashton said sternly and went away to sit on the couch. 

Caleb was stunned by everything that was happening with him. Not only was he in his heat outside of his Cabin for the very first time, he was also stuck with a pureblooded Alpha, the scariest of all the Alphas one could possibly encounter. Yet having Ashton around him did not feel so bad. Needless to say, but it was the first time someone actually took care of him while he was suffering. His brother always kept food and drinks in his cabin, but even Christian wasn't allowed inside when Caleb was in his heat. 

Caleb lied down comfortably on the bed and stared at Ashton. That guy was dragging the couch to the door because the doorknob was broken and he did not want any more intruders.

The next morning Caleb moved sluggishly on the bed as the light ray of the morning sun hit him on the eyes in a gentle way.  

He would be lying if he said he slept at all. Throughout the night he tossed and turned in pain hoping the pain would subside. That did not happen however he tried to keep the groans away because of the person snoring soundly on the couch. How was this guy an Alpha, he looked like a baby while he slept. Maybe that was because he was still young.

Ashton stirred on the couch a bit, but did not wake up. He seemed uncomfortable given how small the couch was. If Caleb were in a different situation he might have offered him the bed. Key word, 'might'.

After a long time Ashton finally opened his eyes. He notices how Caleb was still twitching in pain. He tries to decide whether or not to go near him. That will probably won't be best, so he just freshens up a bit.

When he comes back in the room he saw Caleb sitting on the bed. "Do you want something"? He asked him just to be sure. Caleb just shook his head and clutched his growling stomach. 

Ashton shook his head before he said "I'll buy you some food". 

"Wait"! He had successfully removed the couch from the door, and was able to leave when Caleb called out to him. 

"Don't leave ". He gulped.

"Why"? He asked skeptically. 

"They are scared of you, but they can come back for me". Caleb explained.

"So, what do you want to do"?  Ashton folded his arms and asked. "Aren't you hungry? You have had nothing since yesterday's lunch. I have had nothing since yesterday's lunch".

Caleb became silent. He wasn't sure what the right move was. He wouldn't mind starving for a while, but he couldn't ask Ashton to starve with him. 

"Let's do one thing…" Ashton caught back his attention. "... let's return. You can adequate rest in comfortable surroundings. That way you will feel better". He suggested. Caleb's eyes widened at that as he thought of the consequences. "NO!" Ashton was taken aback by his answer 

"Why now"? Ashton asked him with frustration. 

"I always hide my true scent. If I go back now, it will be everywhere and I will be discovered". Caleb voiced his panic. Maybe if he wasn't already sweating due to heat, then he would have started sweating by now.

"Then let's go someplace else". Ashton replied after careful thinking.

"Caleb scrunched his eyebrows and asked, "Where"? Ashton simply smirked at him.
