My Atypical Wolf (BL)

Chapter 226: Injured

Sebastian linked Christian as soon as he was done taking down the wolf that attacked Caleb. He made sure he hurt him well enough because it pissed him off to see Caleb pass out like that. The white wolf form of Caleb laid on the ground contrasting well with the bloody sand below. That’s when Sebastian noticed that Caleb was bleeding out from his head.

Shifting back immediately he linked Christian, [Caleb is down. I am taking him to the hospital.] and he left. It was a miracle that no one was attacked in the hospital. Maybe the fact that it was also a human hospital, shadowed it from the fact that wolves too were treated here.

Sebastian decided to be careful in his approach. He didn’t want to walk through the front door holding a giant snow wolf where humans might be waiting to get their ailments, so he took the backdoor. He carefully avoided any human interaction and went to the mini emergency center for the wolves, which thanks to their impromptu was already overcrowded.

“Dr. Brown” Sebastian called the one person he could actually recognise. He was busy with a nurse, guiding her through one of the procedures when his attention was caught by Sebastian. As soon as he noticed the blood on the wolf’s head he came running.

“Put him down here, let me examine him” Dr. Browne ordered.

“Please be careful. It’s Caleb” Sebastian requested nervously.

“I am aware, Mr Kyles. Don’t worry” he examined the wound thoroughly and asked for sutures. “His wound isn’t deep, but since he hit his head his body is a bit discoordinated. He will need time to heal fully. Hopefully the sutures will help”, “he replied. The Doctor was one of the betas of the pack, but most importantly he was known for his excellent medical skills.

.....

“Okay” Sebastian simply nodded at them.

After the doctor was done stitching he asked the nurse to shift Caleb to the VIP Cabin, reserved for the Mayor’s family. “How is he?”! A running Christian came to him, as soon as they were done placing Caleb in the Cabin. He was still in his wolf form, and yet he managed to stand out.

“He might need some time to recover,” Sebastian mumbled.

At that moment Dr. Browne walked in and bowed slightly to acknowledge the future Alpha. “I heard that his mate came back....” He spoke to Chirstian “Where is he?”

“He is... not here at the moment” Christian replied as he pursed his lips.

“He is healing slowly... but having his mate by his side might speed up his healing” informed the doctor.

“How long will it take him to wake up?”

“We aren’t sure. He... has a bit different physiology” Dr. Browne commented. Christian jerked his head to the Doctor and his expression took away the fact that he knew Caleb was an omega. Despite that Christian linked him and asked to elaborate. [Don’t worry, I know that people are unaware of his blood status. Such things never escape the gossip around here. I won’t reveal this to anyone.]

[Thank you] is all Christian could say.

“Another thing, the hospital is overwhelmed right now. Maybe we should reject human treatment for now? We are severely short staffed”.

“The humans are the one camouflaging this hospital. It would be risky. Give me some time, I’ll see if I can arrange some staff for the hospital” He nodded. The Doctor nodded at him and took his leave.

Christian stood there staring at his brother’s lifeless wolf form as guilt took over him. How is he supposed to protect the pack if he can’t even his own family. Not to mention Caleb informed him that Ashton had been discovered and he had no clue whatsoever was happening there. “You were right,” Christian mumbled.

Sebastian, who was simply observing Christian mumbled, “Huh”?

“I shouldn’t have stayed back there like a coward. I should have fought. I should have been there next to my brother.” Christian sighed.

“Imagine the havoc that would be unleashing if you both got injured like this” Sebastian pointed out.

“It should have been me, instead of him. He just found his mate... They cannot separate again. Not like this” He shook his head. “I gotta go” He mumbled and ran out of the room. Knowing well enough that Christian was very emotional right now Sebastian followed.

“Wait! Where are you going”? Sebastian shouted as he caught up with him.

“To the hideout” Christian confessed. “Right before Caleb passed out he informed me that they were found out. There is a very good chance something might have happened to them. Ashton and Caleb just met, I cannot let them separate just like that.”

“But-” Sebastian began but he was cut off by Christain.

“I am going there. I have seen my brother break down little by little in the absence of his mate. He claimed to be strong, but I knew. I knew how he felt because I can tell what’s going on with my brother. I am not letting him go through that again so easily”! Christian huffed in anger as his voice quivered.

“I’ll come with you,” declared Sebastian.

“What”? Christian scoffed.

“This is a dangerous mission. I am not letting you go alone. You need backup. You are still the leader of this pack”. Sebastian justified.

“Exactly. And I am taking responsibility.” Christian declared with utmost determination. “I need someone to take care of everything while I am gone. As my beta it’s Melanie’s job, but I want you to help her. Stay here, and keep these people safe.” Christian ordered.

“Look, this is no-” Sebastian began but once more he was cut off by Christian.

“I am not taking you! I’ll take other wolves for my safety. As for you, you are staying” He snarled.

Sebastian simply stared at Christian who couldn’t just stop glaring. Christian wasn’t angry at Sebastian, but unfortunately it was coming down on him. In the next few seconds everything happened so fast that he couldn’t comprehend the sequence. All he could feel was a pair of soft but firm lips on his own.

Christian would be lying if he said he hated the kiss. What he hated was instead of pushing Sebastian away he let him have his way with him. Christian closed his eyes as well and savoured the kiss as much as he could before he had to deal with the reality again. When Sebastian finally pulled away, Christian stared at those lips instead of his eyes. His mind was completely blank. He didn’t even know what to think.

“This is the second time you kissed me without my permission” Christian tried his best to sound accusatory but it came out simple as a statement.

“And this is the second time you let me,” Sebastian challenged.

“I have so many questions.” Christian mumbled before finally looking him in the eye. “Unfortunately I don’t have time for all this” He pressed his cheek with his tongue.

“Then you better make it back in one piece” Sebastian smirked. “Don’t die,” Sebastian said out loud before releasing Christian from his grip. Christian blinked twice before he disappeared from his sight.

Christian ensured he instructed Melanie Properly before he left. Thanks to the cooling down of things his way was cleared. No matter how dark the road seemed, his attention kept coming back to the kiss. First Sebastian said not to move on, and now this? If Sebastian had any interest in him why not just say it already? Maybe make it a lot less harder for him. Or else just let him get over his crush. Why confuse him?

His feelings were thrown into turmoil and with everything going on around he felt a bit guilty for letting that kiss bother him so much. But no matter what he felt, he couldn’t forget the giddy feeling he got when their lips met. No matter what he felt, he couldn’t help but want more.
