My Atypical Wolf (BL)

327 Towards the Future

Ashton didn’t really open his eyes that day, but after a few days not only he opened his eyes, but he could speak almost fluently as if nothing happened to him. Indeed being a werewolf means sometimes getting lucky when it comes to your health. Around this time many werewolves had recovered as well, so the hospital was comparatively emptier.

When Caleb came to see Ashton on his fourth day here, Ashton had a huge smile plastered to his face, “What”? Caleb couldn’t help but ask.

“Nothing, I am just happy to see you.” Ashton shrugged. “Also, there is something I’d like to tell you.”

“About what?” Caleb tilted his face.

“About everything.” Ashton smiled. “I remember. I remembered those eight years I was with those wolves. Not only that, I remember every other thing that only my wolf has experienced…as if Alvaro’s memories are now merged with mine.” he chuckled.

“And what do you remember?” Caleb asked.

“Well, for starters I remember all the secrets my Dad told Alvaro about the Valestines and why I should avoid them in future.” Ashton shrugged. “And I remember exactly how I… Alvaro got trapped there. Apparently I..he was promised to explore the world of Valestines in order to get to know himself better. He knew how important it was for me so he agreed.”

“Why did he keep you at bay?” Caleb’s brow furrowed.

“Because he knew that they were not easily trusted. My dad had warned him, so he was being careful. In case this was a trap, which it was…he didn’t want you to get affected.” Ashton shrugged.

.....

“So they captured him…or you?” Caleb blurted. “This is a confusing conversation.”

Ashton let out a chuckle, “No they taught him a few things, including about that dagger.” he shrugged. “I am so glad I recalled that in our fight.”

“Tell me something… is there a chance of them coming back”? Caleb asked.

“The only reason they wanted you was because of me. Now that I am technically dead for them… I guess not.” Ashton shrugged. “All they care about is keeping their secret safe, they don’t give much care to anything else.”

“And how do they know you didn’t share everything with me?”

“They don’t see you as a threat.” Ashton shrugged.

“What? They don’t think I’ll avenge my mate”? Caleb scoffed.

“They think they can take you.” Ashton shrugged. “How do I put this… they are way more traditional than any of our packs has ever seen, so they don;t really value…omegas?” Ashton shrugged.

“They know I am…?” Caleb trailed off.

“They can tell.” Ashton nodded. “They told Alvaro the first time they ever saw you.” He shrugged, “more reason he was on the edge when they showed up.”

“Wow.” Caleb shrugged. “So what are these secrets they are so protective of?”

“It’s a long list, I’ll tell you some other time.” As much as Caleb was curious he didn’t want to bother his mate anymore.

“I did find out a little bit about my parents though.” Ashton smiled. “Turns out my Dad was not only one of them, but was their leader once.” he chuckled. “But after he failed to see an upcoming threat, he renounced his position and decided to travel out. That is something they were not happy about, so they rebelled against him.”

“And”? Getting engrossed in the story, Caleb asked.

“And they couldn’t stop him either way.” Ashton shrugged. “I mean he was their leader for a reason. He was the strongest of them all. Perhaps that’s why I can still fight them to a certain extent because you know, I have got his genes. Even though I am only half-and-half I can still stand my ground if I am fighting one of them.” Ashton shrugged.

“Anyways after they couldn’t stop my Dad, they tried to keep tabs on him. As it turns out on multiple occasions they tried to attack him and even more so after he met my mom and I was mom. No wonder he trained Alvaro. He apparently knew about my split persona somehow.” Ashton shrugged.

“Then how come… he couldn’t beat the person who killed your parents but you could?” Caleb asked.

“That one… is still unclear to me. My Dad should have been able to tackle me. There must be some kind of foul play, or else there is no way he would have died that day.” Ashton sighed. “Guess some things aren’t for me to find out.” Ashton shrugged.

“So you are okay without knowing”? Caleb was mildly taken aback.

“Yeah.” Ashton sighed. “I have been trapped in the past for far too long, I think that’s why I lost those eight years with you and many more that could have been.” Ashton sighed. “I am tired of chasing the past, I wanna live in the present and head towards the future with you… my husband and my mate.” Ashton smiled.

Caleb laughed out loud, “You’re being cheesy again, you really have recovered though haven’t you?” he shook his head.

... {At present}....

After the graduation ceremony was over, all of them headed off to the ice cream parlor for a treat, by none other than Ashton himself. The kids were indeed happy to see him. Ever since the war, Ashton started to work full time with Christian to help him with pack duties, while Caleb decided to take some time off to spend it with the kids before they grow up too much.

Not only that, with Christian’s and Sebastian’s wedding approaching, Christian had been busy with his own stuff. As for Melanie, the beta of the pack, she was put into bed rest for her second pregnancy so it was upto Ashton to take care of most of the things. He had been extremely busy, but there was no way he would miss such an important event for his kids.

“So, when are you leaving again”? Caleb couldn’t help but ask.

“I am here for two more days…I am thinking about a weekend trip or something.” Ashton suggested.

“It’s tuesday.” Caleb pointed out.

“Well, since I can’t take the weekday off, I thought we could make a weekend out of the weekdays.” Ashton shrugged.

“We really have our way of doing things don’t we?” Caleb chuckled, before adding, “I am in.” and with that they proceeded with sharing this news with the kids. With the kids growing up, things were starting to change a lot, but hopefully for the better this time.
