My Atypical Wolf (BL)-Chapter 260

Chapter 260: Succesfully Enrolled

Caleb’s heat didn’t resurface after that, but the after effect stayed for another day. Caleb was a bit frustrated with Ashton for wasting another day, but staying there in the wild for another day wasn’t so bad, if all the huge responsibilities of the pack weren’t his at that moment.

They were briefly spotted by a band of coyotes, but come on... they were no wolves, and thus were no match for full grown werewolves. They drove the coyotes away in no time, and had quite the fun doing it if they were to be honest.

On their way back Ashton was drowsy as hell, having not slept at all for the past two days, not even a nap. Caleb on the other hand still had a lot of energy left despite his heat, which Ashton kind of envied. Once they were back Ashton straight away walked into his room, without a word and collapsed right on to the bed.

Caleb on the other had stuff to do. He had already extended his leave enough that if he didn’t go back to his work soon, he might actually lose his job. He went back after a quick shower only to be greeted with a huge pile of files that had all the cases they accumulated over the past few days.

From the looks of it, it appeared that in Caleb’s absence no work got done. Just how much crime happens in the Cresentile Pack outside their Pack jurisdiction? He wondered. He took a look at the cases, and where they were with each one of them. Most of them were complete, which accounted for petty thefts and public indecency, but a few of them were mysterious, which might have to do something with the recent war.

Nevertheless, all of them needed his supervision and he divided the unsolved cases amongst the team before he finished up with the rest of the paperwork. When he was handing out the cases, one of his co-worker, Scott, the one who was closest to Caleb at the station, happened to notice the ring on his hand, “Wait, Sher, are you getting married”? He asked him. He had a habit of using short forms, and often called Caleb Sher, as a short form of sheriff.

“Ahh, yes” Taking a glance at his ring Caleb affirmed.

.....

“Damn it! About time. I see you finally found someone of your standards” Scott cheered. “But, I’m surprised you didn’t tell us you were dating someone” he frowned. He was quite friendly, and Caleb wouldn’t have minded much if he didn’t have so much to hide from him as he was a human.

“I told you I once sort of had a fiancée right”? Caleb reminded him. Of course saying mate wouldn’t have made much sense, so he used to say sort of fiancée. “It’s him”. Caleb clarified.

“Wait... you said... he is gone” Scott tilted his head in confusion.

“Yeah, gone. Not dead”. Caleb shook his head. “He is back.” Caleb clarified.

“Whoaaa, Sher we want to meet him”! Scott delightfully declared. Caleb shot him a dirty look, to remind him to stay within his boundaries but somehow Scott missed it. “Come on! We must know who finally nailed our cold sheriff. Besides, you were gone for a while, and we deserve a celebration for this news”! He rambled.

Caleb shot him a blank look before sighing. “Fine. Team dinner, tonight.” He declared.

“Yes”! Scott cheered.

“Now go back to work” Caleb shooed him away. When finally he had caught up with most of his work he realised that it’s almost evening. Caleb thought that this was a perfect opportunity to introduce his team with his spouse to be and decided to call Ashton. When it didn’t work he tried to link him only to realise that Ashton was still asleep. Given how tired and exhausted his mate must be he didn’t bother him any further.

At the team dinner, Caleb showed them a picture of him and Ashton instead to introduce the team to his fiancée. The picture was a recent one, which meant Ashton appeared way younger than he actually was thus making the age gap between them more heightened. Caleb did receive a few judgemental glances, but he couldn’t care less.

Team dinners amongst them were not that common, so it was a bit awkward as well. The only person who had fun was clueless Scott, who indirectly was the reason for this whole arrangement.

The tedious workload of the day finally got to Caleb by the time he reached home, so without wandering anywhere else he headed straight to bed. The next morning, he decided to get the girls admitted to the school, finally, having successfully forged the documents and adopted them legally.

It was a two way trip, one to middle school another to elementary school. He saved the elementary school for last because that way he could also pick up Connor on his way back. 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮

The papers that he had forged were indistinguishable from the real ones, which means officially now both parents of Carmen and Ivy were legally dead. As for the girls, they didn’t mind as they were never quite fond of their mother.

“So, you’re good to go” Caleb declared to Carmen once he came out of the Vice Principal’s office.

“Okay” Carmen nodded nervously, anxious for the first day of a new life.

“Hey, I know it’s gonna be a bit hard to fit in. As someone new it’s not that uncommon to feel like an outsider, but trust me. Things will be better eventually.” He patted her shoulder, encouraging her.

“Thank you Mr Wrisberg. ” Carmen smiled at him.

“You know what, call me Caleb” Caleb insisted.

“Okay...” She nodded and vanishes into the hallway with a copy of her schedule.

The process in the elementary school took even less time, and soon enough Ivy was enrolled as well. However, due to shorter class hours, by the time they were done, their classes were over. Connor, who was delighted to see his Dad pick him up, however his smile turned into a frown once he noticed Ivy. He didn’t hate Ivy or anything, but as a stranger Connor felt really uncomfortable around her. Not to mention he wasn’t thrilled to have his Dad get so close to Ivy, or her big sister Carmen.

After returning home, Caleb tried to call and link Ashton, to tell him about the adoption and successful enrollment but Caleb still couldn’t reach him. Exasperated he decided to go to his room to find him still fast asleep. Annoyed, Caleb was about to wake him up but as soon as he touched Ashton he froze. For someone with a temperature as high as Ashton he was pretty cold.

“Ash! Ashton!” Caleb tried to shake him, wake him up, but nothing worked. “Oh my God...” Caleb mumbled, unsure of what to do next.
