My Atypical Wolf (BL)

Chapter 151: “Nothing Lasts Forever”

“OH MY GOD” Caleb screamed, startling the hell out of his roommate. “I gotta go”, he declared for no apparent reason.

“Okay...” Warren mumbled, quite unsure of what to make his roommate’s sudden behavior. The day simply kept getting more confusing to him. He shook his head and put almost all his attention to his phone and after a moment he heard the door behind him slam shut.

Caleb ran out of his room as he wondered what to do at this moment. He wanted to talk to Karolyn about Warren, at the same time he wanted to figure out how to introduce him to all these werewolves and all. Caleb had a wonderful year around humans, but as the saying goes, ‘nothing lasts forever’.

He was halfway across the campus when he realised what time it was. It was late enough to have a chat with Karolyn, although he wanted to give it a shot given how surprised he was. In his defense, he never met a latin person, how was he supposed to know Warren is latin? that too just part?

He decided to come back to his dorm once the shock of it wore off. On his way he ran into Ashton who himself seemed to be headed out. “What are you doing here”? Caleb asked him.

“I needed some air. My roommate was suffocating me. He never shuts up” Ashton groaned. “What are you doing here”? He asked back.

“So...here is what happened”. Caleb breathed. “Remember, Warren? My roommate”? He nodded. “He is Karolyn’s mate”.

.....

The moment Ashton heard that, he frowned, “What did you say”?

“Warren is Karolyn’s mate”? Caleb repeated, unsure of Ashton’s response.

“Is she here”? Ashton asked, his voice significantly higher than normal.

“Yeah, she goes to this school” Casually, Caleb mentioned.

“And you didn’t think about telling me for an entire year you were here”? Ashton asked in an accusatory tone. Even his volume was significantly higher.

“It’s not like we hang out a lot. I am busy, she is busy, we barely see each other. I guess I just forgot to tell you” Caleb shrugged, getting sidetracked by Ashton’s response. He noticed how Ashton’s face looked tense despite its blank gaze.

“You said there were no wolves here” Ashton blurted after a moment.

“Yeah, well..she is the only one I met. I didn’t spot any other”. Caleb explained.

Ashton’s gaze darkened before he asked in a terrifying voice, “Did you know that she was here before you applied here”?

Caleb blinked. Ashton’s voice was grave enough to scare anyone, and it also scared Caleb. Not because of its grave nature, but he failed to understand why Ashton was reacting like this. Did Ashton have enough reason to hate Karolyn, Caleb wondered. “Yeah...” he mumbled nevertheless.

Ashton turned around and did his very best to control his anger. In fact at this point even Caleb could feel that. “Why does this bother you so much”? Caleb asked, concerned.

“You tell me, when was the last time you saw her”?

“Before the holidays”?

“No, last time before enrolling here”.

“When she visited us” Caleb shrugged.

“When your parents tried to set you two up”! Ashton huffed, still refusing to make eye contact.

“Oh my god, are you jealous”? Caleb put his palm on his forehead. “That was a long time ago. I have a mate. You. She has a mate, who also happens to be my roommate”. Caleb tried to clarify.

“I don’t like her”. Ashton declared.

“Would you feel any differently if I told you she was the one who encouraged me to confront my feelings for you”? Caleb asked.

At that point, Ashton decided to turn back and look him in the eye, trying to decide if he was being tricked or not. He was possessive in general when it came to Caleb. It only got worse with time, but somehow the thought of Karolyn pressed his buttons.

Caleb could tell Ashton wasn’t completely convinced so he tried another thing hoping it would work. He linked him, and showed him the day Karolyn and him went to that cafeteria and how she egged him to confront his own feelings. Ashton knew faking a memory that vivid won’t be an easy job. He also knew that if that memory was this vivid, it must mean that it made a deep impact on Caleb as well.

“Well”? Caleb asked.

Ashton’s brow tensed before he looked away, “I still don’t like her”.

“Oh my god, would you just let it go” Caleb groaned. “You know that I can tell you are convinced, right?” When Ashton still refused to look at him, Caleb huffed, “okay now, you are just being petty.”

Ashton’s expression softened, but he still refused to look at his mate. Taking a step forward, Caleb put both of his hands at Ashton’s cheeks forcing him to look at her. “Why does she bother you this much”? He asked softly.

“I dunno” Ashton sighed. “I am possessive. You guys have a weird history together. She is a werewolf and an alpha”.

“Well, she is not you” Caleb replied without skipping a beat. “And unless there is a second you popping up outta nowhere, you got nothing to be worried about”.

Ashton ended up chuckling at his words. Somehow Caleb always knew the right thing to say, therefore making communication much easier between them.

“So...”Ashton cleared his throat. “If a second me to pop up from somewhere, you would leave me”?

“Oh my god” Caleb groaned before bursting into laughter. Ashton followed the same suit then put both his hands at Caleb’s waist bringing them closer. Caleb looked at Ashton who looked back at him thus both of shared affectionate gazes.

Ashton lowered his head, planted a soft long kiss before letting him go. “It’s getting late, I should probably get going”. Ashton mumbled.

“Need any help”? Caleb offered.

“Well, unless you can make my roommate magically disappear, I don’t think so”. Ashton sighed. Both of them parted ways for the night. For now, it seemed really peaceful. But, nothing lasts forever.
