My Atypical Wolf (BL)

Chapter 159: Newbie Vampire

“Well...Sun. For now”. Karolyn shrugged.

“So, getting burned on the sun part is true?” Warren asked.

“Well...” karolyn sighed. She explained to him all about the concept of daywalkers and nightwalkers. How he needed to avoid being too close to humans if he wasn’t sure of his level of control. After tonight, she expected Warren to have better control, but it was still too early to say for sure.

Warren was worried that he would need to feed on humans, but Karolyn assured that it was just a transition that needed human blood. It made him their strongest, but he could easily survive on animal blood, or blood from the blood bank if he could arrange that. Karolyn suggested the latter is preferred more.

They walked side by side talking about all the perks of vampire hood while Caleb simply admired the duo getting to bond with each other as he followed them from the back. Ashton however was bored and felt like a third wheel and just wanted to get out of this situation.

[Seems like they would work out after all] Caleb linked and told Ashton who snorted at him.

[I wouldn’t be so sure. They still have a lot to discover about each other.] Ashton replied.

.....

[Would it kill you to be positive?] Caleb pouted and shook his head.

Ashton simply smiled and didn’t say anything. His dislike for Karolyn was childish, but it didn’t mean he hoped for this to fail. If anything he would be relieved the most if Karolyn and Warren ended up in a successful relationship.

Thinking about all this he stopped abrupt in his steps when a pungent smell hit his nose. While the intensity of that smell wasn’t high enough, it’s odor was the worst. When he saw the others similarly unbothered, he wondered why they aren’t reacting the same way[Can you smell that?]

[Smell what?] Caleb asked.

[You don’t smell it?] Flabbergasted, Ashton asked. He felt even better that he was using the link to communicate now. He looked around to check if someone was within their range.

“What’s that smell”? After a whole minute Warren asked.

Ashton looked at him and tried to decipher why not each and everyone were getting the scent. That’s when they heard a ruffling of sound behind them. They turned in a swift action to reveal a boy who looked to be in his late teens. Ashton and Caleb both stiffened and glared at him while Karolyn tried to cover her clueless mate.

“What do we have here”? A deep voice came from the mysterious guy. “Looks like someone forgot to clean up” His gaze shifted at Warren.

“What do you want”? Caleb asked. Ashton wanted to grab his mate’s mouth and stop him from talking. Ashton’s instincts were screaming Vampire and he didn’t wanna find out why. Not with his mate around.

“To see what happened to him. Clearly he went through his transition, but what I found more amusing is that he is being assisted by a werewolf. He looked at Karolyn and gave her a devious smirk. It didn’t bother her the slightest, but it gave Warren an urge to punch him in the face.

“What do you want from us”? Warren questioned.

“To get rid of you”. He declared looking straight at Warren in the eye. Warren’s eyes widened as rest of the wolves panicked.

“Why”? Caleb asked.

Before he could answer Karolyn shouted, “I won’t let you go near him”!

“You think you can stop me little wolf”? He scoffed. Karolyn was approaching her mid twenties, and with this guys teenage appearance his statement appeared quite ironic, but they knew better. Karolyn growled at him which only earned a boisterous laugh from this mysterious guy.

He took a step forward and attacked Warren in a blink of an eye, which was way too fast for the wolves to comprehend. It seemed as if he was trying to kill him so Karolyn and Caleb tried their best to separate them. Ashton on the other hand observed this guy and wondered why despite being a vampire, why he gave off a different vibe.

He pushed them both back in a brush of a hand which caused them to land. They tried to retaliate but before they could he declared, “If you disturb me, I will kill him and then I will kill all of you”.

The intent of hurting Caleb was something that triggered Ashton’s wolf. He lost control over his scent, which surprisingly came as a tool of distraction. That mysterious guy let go of Warren, who recoiled instinctively, and looked at Ashton with curious and suspicious eyes. “Interesting, never thought a Valestine would leave its nest” He mumbled.

His words got Ashton which resulted in him calming down, including his eyes turning back to normal color, “What did just call me”? He whispered.

“Valestine” Confusion appeared on that guy’s face. “Why, you aren’t”? He tilted his head.

Ashton pursed his lips as he struggled to find the right answer. He didn’t want to say no and give him the benefit of the doubt, but at the same time saying yes would be far fetched. He had no idea what Valestine was, but somehow it seemed to be a key to his own past. He was dying to ask, but he just didn’t know how.

“Your silence tells me you don’t have a clue,” He scoffed. “It’s so sad”. Ashton paused. Did this guy read his mind or was it simply his face? Ashton was good at keeping a blank stare, did he slip this time? He wondered.

“Why are you after Warren?” Ashton asked, diverting the attention.

That mysterious guy scoffed, “I couldn’t care less about him. But he is a new vampire who wasn’t supposed to be one. Thanks to one of my comrades this happened”. He sighed. “I am just correcting her mistake”.

“This is not the way”! Karlyn shouted but Caleb held her back.

“Let him talk” Caleb tried to convince his friend.

“We will take care of him,” Ashton negotiated.

“And how do I plan on doing that”? He smirked. “You don’t even know about yourself, you expect me to believe you know what to do with him?” He scoffed.

“You are right, I don’t,” Ashton declared. “But she does” he pointed at Karolyn. “He deserves a chance,” Ashton said, pointing at Warren. “This is the least you can give him given how your comrade almost killed him”.

“Or...” that guy smirked, “I can kill him”.

This time it was Ashton who let out a growl. Somehow instead of intimidating that guy it fascinated him. “Your attempts to scare me are adorable. You really think you can control a newbieVampire? They are the most voracious of our kind”. That guy scoffed. Ashton gritted his teeth but didn’t say anything. The fact that this guy seemed to know more about Ashton than Ashton did himself was scary. He didn’t want to risk the unknown.

“Fine, I will give you a chance. But if you cause any trouble, or the secret of vampires leak out, I am coming for you” He declared.

He turned around but paused for a moment, “Oh, and also... I apologise for my sister Lily.” He looked at Karolyn. “She has personal enmity towards wolves. She won’t attack you anymore.” He gave them a creepy smile and disappeared.

“Who was that guy”? Warren mumbled after a whole minute.

“Seemed like someone related to lily” Ashton huffed. “That’s the girl who attacked you I guess” he nudged at Karolyn who nodded for confirmation. “Is it perhaps, they are related”?

“Could be. They might be a part of same group”. Karolyn shrugged.

“Why was he so obsessed with my death? Why would I be a nuisance”? Warren popped the question.

“New Vampires have trouble controlling their urges. He thinks you will expose Vampires to the humans. We don’t always see eye to eye, but we are quite obsessed with keeping our secret.” Karolyn informed him.

“You really think people will really easily believe such things”? Warren rolled his eyes.

“Why not?” Karolyn smirked. “Not everyone is so stiff like you”.

“I’m not”! Warren protested before he looked away.

They started to walk back to the campus when Karolyn approached Caleb, “Can you take care of him?” She whispered.

“I suppose” Caleb mumbled. “Don’t worry, we will see to it. You should go back to the dorm, it’s already too late. Take some rest.”.

“Mn” Karolyn hummed. “I will see you guys later.” She declared to everyone there. “I have somethings I need to talk to. Meet me tomorrow” she instructed Caleb. “As for you,” she turned to Warren. “Try to stay out of trouble. Get my contact info from them if needed. You can contact me if you need anything”

“I don’t want to”. Warren mumbled. He won’t be heard, but he didn’t know about the enhanced hearing the wolves possesed. He was visibly confused when Karolyn shot him q glare before she left.

It seemed he had a lot to learn, after all, he was just a newbie Vampire.
