My Atypical Wolf (BL)

Chapter 220: He is Coming.

What did he mean? When he said “And, can you not move on yet”? Those trivial words were a huge distraction to Christian. He ran out of the building even without getting what he wanted because he didn’t want to confront him yet. He was finally getting over Sebastian... things finally seemed okay between them, then why? Why did he have to go ahead and say something like that? Just why? Of all times?

He couldn’t believe that despite having weeks of pending work, he couldn’t get anything done. “Dang it!” he slammed the file on the table after staring at it for at least five minutes with undue frustration. No matter how many times he reminded himself of the workload and how he had more important matters at his hand his mind kept drifting off to those few words.

Unable to take it anymore, he headed out of the office hoping he wouldn’t run into Sebastian. He decided to head off to the terrace only to realise it was dark. Checking his watch he came to know that it was almost time for dinner. Where did all the time go? He sighed. Taking out a cigarette he started to smoke. He smoked only when things got way too frustrating to handle and after almost 6 months, it seemed like it was time again.

He was halfway through the cigarette when he noticed a familiar figure at the gate. It appeared as though he was trying to convince the guards to let him in. Recognising him seconds later, he headed off to the gate himself, “It’s Okay, he is a friend.” Christian asked the guards to let him in and they complied with his orders. “Riley, why.. Why are you here?”

“He is coming. And he is not alone” That’s all Riley had to say. Christian realised the tension in his voice welcomed him to his office. “He figured out what we did... and he... threw me out”.

“I am surprised he didn’t kill you” Christian mumbled.

“So am I! I guess since his daughter was around he was trying his best not to sound harsh” Riley sighed. “Thank God she was with me back then”.

.....

“So what’s next? You said he is not alone, what do you mean”? Christian asked him, concerned.

“He has ties to a few packs nearby. Not that close, but you can call them allies. I don’t know exactly which ones he would approach, cause you know... He threw me out. But I do know that he is preparing to attack, or something similar.” Riley sighed.

“I am so sorry,” Christian mumbled. “I am sorry that he found out, that was not supposed to happen”.

“He can be dense at times, but Miller is alpha for a reason.” Riley pursed his lips. “He didn’t even listen to me, why did I help you? He was furious. I don’t think he realises that your brother’s mate was that wolf, I think he simply thinks you let him go” Riley admitted. “Either way, he is coming here”. Riley sighed. “As soon as he finishes gathering up people”.

“Thank you... for coming here and alerting us” Christian expressed his gratitude. “I need to make sure my pack is ready for whatever Miller is planning.”

“I’ll help you. I have been the beta of his pack for the last six years, I can help you take him down.” Riley voiced with determination.

“Thank you” Christian smiled. “You know, I feel guilty. You have helped us so much, and yet we made things worse for you”. Christian gave him an apologetic frown.

“I didn’t like it there anyways. Alpha Miller started to get on my nerves. I tried to leave earlier, but it didn’t work. In a way I am lucky he threw me out” Riley admitted.

“Sounds like you hold a lot of grudge against him.” Christian scoffed.

“He separated me from my mother because she was old and not useful enough” Riley scoffed. “He is lucky I didn’t kill him”.

“So that’s why you are helping us” Christian let out a smirk.

“That’s part of the reason. I just want him to suffer defeat. I am sick of his giant ego” Riley sighed.

“You wanna kill him”? Christian asked.

“I would love to,” Riley snorted. “But I don’t want to. His family... His wife and his daughter are lovely people. And he is a good husband and a father, no matter how terrible of an Alpha he is. Even if he deserves to die in my opinion, they don’t deserve it”. Riley admitted.

“Yeah, it won’t be fair.” Christian sighed. “Well, you must have had a long journey, how about I show you a place to stay. You can stay in the pack house. There is plenty of room” Christian offered. “You can tell us what you know tomorrow morning. I will get my family and my beta too”.

“Sure” Riley smiled and nodded.

Christian led the way to the pack house when Riley was following behind. That’s when Christian noticed he didn’t have his luggage with him. “You didn’t bring anything?” He asked.

“I didn’t have the time to pack,” Riley admitted sheepishly. “I have my card though, I would need to go shopping”. He shook his own head at the mere thought of it, indicating that he doesn’t enjoy shopping.

“Alright,” Christian nodded. Before he could turn around and walk further, Riley spoke.

“Oh my God, he is here” Riley’s face paled.

“Miller? This fast”? Christian panicked. Did he follow him or something.

“What? No!” Riley dismissed the thought immediately. “Sebastian Kyles. He is one of the greatest actors I have ever seen” Riley said, trying his best to suppress his smile but failing miserably at it. Christian on the other hand had a frown on his face as he did not want to face him. At this very moment, neither of the two wanted to talk to Sebastian, however it was for a very different reason.

“Am I dreaming?” Riley mumbled. “Did I fall asleep? Can you pinch me”? He asked Christian earning an eye roll from him. He knew Sebastian was popular, but somehow seeing Riley fan-boying over him annoyed the hell out of it. He wanted to wipe off that huge smile off his face so badly.

“Christian, is that you”? Sebastian called him from his back.

Riley’s eyes widened and he approximated to Christian’s face, “Oh my god, are you friends with him”? He asked in a whisper.

“Yes I am? Who are you”? Sebastian raised his voice, who apparently as a wolf didn’t fail to hear him whisper.

Christian shook his head before turning around, “Seb, this is Riley. The wolf who helped us bring back Ashton”.

“Oh” Sebastian let out. His suspicious gaze turned into an unreadable expression while Riley frowned at him.

“Are you a... wolf too?” Riley’s eyes widened. “Never would I have ever guessed that in a million years” He looked at him wide eyed.

“I am sorry, do I know you”? Sebastian furrowed his brows and folded his arms.

“No... but I know you” Riley said with a huge smile that was starting to creep out Sebastian. “I am a huge fan of your works! You are like the King of Sci-fi movies” He said.

“Oh.. so you are a fan” Sebastian nodded. “I don’t see many fans here, so I am not used to this around this neighborhood.” He chuckled as well.

“Can I have your autograph”? Riley blurted out.

“...Sure” Sebastian mumbled as he recovered. “Just don’t post it on social media” He asked.

“Won’t be a problem,” Riley shook his head vigorously . He looked around himself but he had nothing on himself so he approached Sebastian startling him. Taking a marker from his pocket, he said, “Just sign my T-shirt.” Sebastian blinked but he complied anyway. His white shirt did make it easier for Sebastian to sign it.

Riley kept gawking at Sebastian making both of the wolves uncomfortable. “You know what, it’s late. I’ll see you tomorrow” Christian declared. “Come on let’s go” Grabbing Riley’s hand he took him to the pack house. Meanwhile, the poor marker which Riley forgot to take back broke in Sebastian’s fist as he glared at the duo from the back.
