My Atypical Wolf (BL)-Chapter 169

Chapter 169: Axel

“What, you’re scared of him”? Karolyn mocked.

“I know him. If you did, so would you be” she said in a chilly voice.

“Isn’t he your friend?” Caleb wondered.

She scoffed and broke into boisterous laughter, “he is no one’s friend. He is a living nightmare, even for our kind”

All the wolves looked at each other as they felt a bit of a fear creeping through their veins. It worried them that they might get more than what they bargained for.

“If he is not your friend, then we have nothing to worry about. He will let you die here without an ounce of a thought” Caleb admitted smugly. Both Karolyn and Ashton looked at Caleb as if he was out of his mind. Clearly the situation was getting out of hand, how could he still keep acting like this?

“Let me out! What do you want from me”!? She screamed once more, shaking the cage vigorously while panic overtook her. On a closer look it appeared that the metal rods were starting to bend. She was too frantic to notice, but Caleb knew he didn’t have much long before she broke free.

“Not much. I just want peace between our kind because we’re surrounded by numerous humans. I need more than your friend, Axel’s words that you won’t attack any one of us”. Caleb snickered.

“More than his words”? Lily scoffed. “His words are more than enough. This time I didn’t recognize you two or else I wouldn’t have attacked”! She insisted.

“Why should I believe you? Why should I believe him or anything he says?” Caleb raised his eyebrows.

“Because he never lies, not even jokingly. If he ever tells you casually you will die, you will within a few days”. Lily mumbled as she continued to shake that tiny cage. “He’ll make sure of it”

“Then maybe we should have a chat with him. Let’s verify how authentic his words are”. Caleb rolled his eyes.

“Good luck finding him. We barely spot him once a day.” Lily scoffed.

“Then let’s catch him,” Caleb shrugged. “We know how he smells, we can easily track him,” he smirked.

“And then what? He will kill you”! She snarled.

“He seemed to be interested in negotiating. Let’s see if it pertains or not when the person in question is you.” Caleb mumbled.

“You don’t know what you’re talking about.” Lily scoffed. “He is by far the most dangerous person I have ever met. If you meet him, you are dead”.

“You’re right” Caleb’s face lit up as if realisation hit him. “My life is too precious to end it like this. I will just go ahead and kill you. Problem solved. Easy peasy”. He shrugged.

“No”! She shrieked. “I’ll not attack anymore. I swear”! She fumbled with her words as she fidgeted.

“And I should just trust you?” Caleb raised his brows.

“Please. You don’t trust me but you would trust Axel right”? Lily said, “Just let me talk with him once”. She begged.

“Why would I do that?” Caleb asked smugly once more. Both Karolyn and Ashton frowned. Wasn’t that the whole point of all this hassle? Getting to meet Axel was what they were aiming for right? Then why go deny Lily the opportunity to bring Axel here, they wondered.

“If you don’t, he would be furious and kill you and everyone you care for”! Lily warned.

“If you talk to him, he would be furious with you” Caleb smirked. “You know what, you are right. Better you than me. Call him”.

“I... I don’t know how to call for him. But I live on Southern Avenue and if you go there he is bound to show up sometime.”

“Why should I go into such trouble for you? Won’t it be easier to simply kill you?” Caleb folded his hands while he asked coyly

“Please, please let me go”! She begs again, “just let go of me”! She shakes the cage violently.

“What do you think I should do”? Caleb turned to Ashton who stared at her blankly. “Ashton?” He called out loudly.

“Huh?” Coming back to reality he asked.

“I asked, what should I do”? Caleb asked. Ashton blinked and looked back and forth between him and Lily.

Soon Caleb felt Ashton link him, [what do you want me to say? I zoned out]

While Caleb’s steady inquisitive gaze was maintained, Ashton could feel that Caleb was rolling his eyes internally. [Act Coy!] Caleb screamed in his head.

[I can’t!] Ashton shouted back.

[Fine. Just deny. Tell me to go find Axel for her and let her go if Axel confirms she would be peaceful] Caleb scowled mentally.

“Give her a chance. I will go find Axel, until then, she is stuck here”. Ashton declared confidently as if he didn’t just zone out a few minutes ago.

“Hmm...” Caleb hummed. “I’ll think about it”. He smirked and exited the room abruptly. Both Karolyn and Ashton ran after him and gave him, ‘Are you crazy? look’. Before they could say anything Caleb put his index finger on his mouth and gestured towards his ears then the door as in to indicate her Vampire hearing.

When they were considerably out of the earshot of Lily Caleb spoke, “We have to be careful what we say around her. I can use the link with him, but not you”. He indicated to Karolyn.

“Yeah, alright” dismissing Caleb quickly Karolyn argued, “What was all that about? I thought you were trying to get to that teenage looking Vamp through her? Why are you being so difficult when she is clearly leading you to it”. 𝘧𝓇𝒆𝗲𝓌𝙚𝙗𝓷o𝘷𝒆𝘭.𝐜𝚘𝒎

“Because I don’t wanna give away the fact that that is our ultimate aim. I am trying to establish an upper hand on the situation here. If I am going to talk to Axel, I need to make sure I have leverage.” Caleb explained.

“Yeah but, the cage she is in is not durable. I can see her bending it already and who knows how long we have before she breaks through?” Karolyn mumbled.

“I was hoping you could help with that. You clocked her once, can’t you do it again?” Caleb wondered.

“Me? Are you crazy? I had a situational advantage at that moment. Right now I can’t. If she wasn’t freaking out right now she could have applied her strength properly and got out of her cage all by herself”. Karolyn huffed.

“I know”. Caleb mumbled. “It’s weird she is so scared by that cage when she is such a fierce fighter”.

“I know right,” She mumbled back.

“Maybe she is claustrophobic, ” Ashton suggested. “That could explain why she panicked so much once we put her in the cage. I doubt she can even think straight at this moment. She seemed way too frantic to get out more than survive”.

“That’s true. Not once did she mention don’t kill me. She kept begging let me out, let me out”. Caleb recalled.

“On top of that, I doubt he will have trouble finding her all by himself. What if he rescues her even before you guys can talk to him?” Karolyn reminded him after a somewhat awkward pause.

“We need to take her someplace else. She is easy to trace here. After all this is still officially the university campus”. Caleb mumbled.

“But where?” Ashton whispered.

“I might know a place where we can keep her for the time being,” Karolyn offered. All the eyes turned to her as she began to speak, “Warren goes to this library in Redge street. He once told me that the original place was situated elsewhere.

I have seen the place but don’t know it’s name. It’s an old construction site that stopped midway. Basically nothing is present there. We can shift her there. Even if she screams her lungs out, chances are no one would hear her. At least not a normal human being.” She finished with a proud smirk and waited for a look of bemusement to grace the faces of the mate duo.

What followed however was their narrowing of eyes in suspicion. Before Karolyn could say something Caleb asked, “Since when are you two so cozy”?

“Why”? She glared. “Since a few days as I confessed about us being mates”.

“You what”! Excited Caleb shouted.

“Yeah... we are dating... sort of”. We are in the ‘getting to know each other’ phase, and it’s going pretty well” She failed miserably at suppressing her smile while the guys smirked at her.

“Looks like someone is having a great time.” Caleb mumbled. “I wanna hear so much about it, but right now I don’t have much time. Let’s do what you said. Let’s take her there”.

“But first, how are you gonna make her pass out?” Ashton reminded them. “Is it safe to take her out of here while she is screaming?”

“Fair point” Caleb mumbled. “Karolyn?” He looked at her and raised his eyebrows.

“I’ll do something.” She mumbled after an exasperated sigh and left. Caleb and Ashton followed her at the same pace as Ashton mumbled, “Look at me, I am abducting people now”
