My Atypical Wolf (BL)

Chapter 168: Let’s Get Lily

“Are you sure she would be here”? Ashton asked as they stood in front of the building belonging to the science department.

“Well, this is where Karolyn goes, and I am sure she would be near”. Caleb shrugged.

“How sure?” Ashton frowned, still gawking at the building.

“... 66%” Caleb mumbled.

“Why 66%”? Ashton’s face twitched as he turned his gaze to his mate and gazed at him awkwardly.

“I just... think 66% is a good number”. Caleb shrugged making Ashton shake his head. “Let’s go” he motioned with his head after which they walked into the building.

They tried to use their incredible sense of smell to track their target. They considered splitting up and searching first, but they went against the idea as they felt maybe taking in a vampire one on one was not such a good idea. Frankly speaking, they were just worried that the other would be hurt if they left.

.....

On their way to the 2nd floor they ran into Karolyn who seemed to be lost in her own thoughts. She almost didn’t notice these two, but with their more than usual bulky stature they were quite hard to miss, “What brings you here”?

“We are looking for the Vamp who attacked you, Lily, was it?” Caleb asked.

“Yeah” Karolyn nodded. “Why are you looking for her deliberately?”

“Well...” Caleb trailed off and looked at Ashton. Ashton looked back at his mate with an unsure expression. Caleb intertwined his fingers with his mate’s and gently squeezed his hand along with a subtle but noticeable nod.

“I have something important to ask her” Ashton stepped in and informed her.

Karolyn’s gaze narrowed considerably and she eyed him suspiciously for a while. “Are you sure about this? As much as I know her I can guarantee you she is very hostile, especially if its us”.

“That’s why we can use your help” Caleb prompted.

Karolyn’s gaze narrowed further, “You want my help without giving me a proper context?”

“Why not? You have fought with her before, you clearly know how to deal with her.” Caleb pleaded.

“I do. Which is why I am asking you to reconsider. Which is why I am a bit reluctant to help you. She is not just wild, she is murderous. The moment she’ll spot you she will go for the kill” Karolyn shuddered recalling her own experience.

“Yeah, that scrawny vampire did tell us that she has some kind of personal grudge against our kind” Caleb shrugged. “Come on, help us”!

Karolyn sighed, “I’ll ping you when I find her. But I’m not engaging in any kind of conversation” she declared.

“We’re cool with that,” Ashton prompted. She disappeared into the hallway while the mate duos headed off to the other side of the corridor. Upon reaching the end of the alley they found an empty room with a bunch of chairs from which came the same pungent smell accompanied with the smell of blood. (A/N: who here has ever smelt blood?)

Entering the room they saw a guy standing perfectly still while a woman with long blonde hair was attached to his neck. Her petite stature made it easily accessible to the guy’s neck who himself happened to be shorter than the average.

When she was done she pulled away and looked him in the eye for a second. It was so subtle that anyone could easily miss that something changed due to her momentary stare. She took a few steps back and wiped the blood that leaked out of him. That guy kept staring at nothing in particular and once Lily was done he simply walked out.

Lily turned around to spot two unknown guys looking at him, “Feeding in broad daylight?” Caleb scoffed but immediately regretted it as he recalled his main purpose of being here was to take her help.

Her stiffened expression turned into a suspicious one as she looked at them. Their calm and composed attitude gave her the idea that maybe they expected something to see like this. It also made it apparently clear that the two men standing in front of him were not human. But she couldn’t care less what they were. They were a threat to her secret and the only option in such a scenario was to wipe them out.

She started to leap at them and before Ashton could react he was thrown away from Lily’s line of trajectory. Gaining his composure he realised that Caleb separated them to avoid getting hurt. The mere fact that she aimed for Caleb’s neck drove Ashton crazy. Luckily Caleb had his speed as in came handy while dodging her attack.

After a little chase when she finally managed to pin down Caleb she bared her fangs. She was about to bite when she was thrown into the wall. Before she could regain her composure she found herself getting restrained by someone apart from the two men. The scent emanating from the unknown person was familiar to her, but before she could retaliate, her entire world faded into darkness.

“I thought you weren’t gonna help” getting up Caleb smirked at his friend.

“I thought so too” Karolyn sighed. “Apparently I am not very fond of her”.

“Thanks” Ashton mumbled in a low voice.

Karolyn gave Ashton a slight nod before asking, “why are you hunting her? You are aware of the risk you are taking right? What if that Vamp who tried to have Warren killed shows up”.

“That, actually, would be very helpful” Caleb snorted.

Karolyn’s gaze narrowed as Ashton added, “We are looking for him. I have something to ask him”.

After a moment of pause Karolyn asked, “does it have something to do with Valestine”?

“Do you know about them”? Ashton asked, with a flicker of hope glimmering in his eyes.

“No, not really. I remember him mentioning it the other day, so I just assumed”. Karolyn shrugged.

“You are not wrong though” Caleb mused, a bit impressed by her. “How long will she stay like this?” Caleb asked.

“No idea”. Karolyn shrugged.

“What’s the plan here”? Ashton asked. All of them looked at each other cluelessly and soon realized that they had been quite hasty regarding their endeavor. “We’re screwed”. Ashton sighed.

“Not so fast”, Caleb whispered. “How strong are vamps”? He asked Karolyn.

“Stronger than us.” Karolyn mumbled.

“Strong metal to break metal”? Caleb asked.

“Um... Depends on this thickness. I am not quite sure yet” Karolyn smiled awkwardly.

“Oh god” Caleb groaned. “Let’s take her.” He declared picking her up and walked to the depar of veterinary. Finding a big enough cage meant for large dogs like German shepherds, he threw her in, which thanks to her petite form it wasn’t so difficult to make her fit. He wasn’t sure it would work but that’s all he had for now.

“This... doesn’t seem so good. What if someone comes here?”Ashton looked around and asked.

“They won’t. The department issued a holiday due to some administrative issues.” Caleb informed. Both Ashton and Karolyn gave him an odd look which was noticed by Caleb moments later. “What? I have friends”. He shrugged, a bit proud of himself.

“No wonder you knew where this department is” Ashton mumbled. “When I wake up, what should I ask her?” Ashton asked the others. “I doubt she would be willing to comply”.

“Well, as a pack leader I have few tricks up my sleeve.” Caleb boasted. “Let me handle this”.

After a few more minutes Lily finally stirred. She found herself restrained by the metallic birds and disgusted by the dog poop smell that was emanating from the entire cage. “Let go of me”! She snarled at all of them.

“Not so fast,” Caleb declared in a deep voice. His voice held a certain authority which for a non-Alpha wolf was pretty impressive. “You keep attacking us. I can’t just let it slide anymore” he spoke in a manner as if he was the leader amongst the trio.

“Us?” Lily’s gaze narrowed. “You’re the scentless wolves” her eyes widened with realisation.

“Yes, and you attacked us for no good reason” Caleb mumbled with a blank stare.

“I didn’t know”! She insisted.

“You referred to us as scent less wolf, clearly you know about us. You should have been more careful”. Caleb snickered.

“I was trying to be careful. I need to protect my secret”! She shook the cage violently.

“I know. Which is why I think we should take you out when we can. Or you might end up exposing yourself”. Caleb shrugged.

“No! We had a deal. Steer clear!” Lily snarled. “You don’t know Axel. He can be ruthless when you betray him. If you go against him, he won’t just kill your little vampire boy toy” she snickered at Karolyn earning growl from her and was about to leap on her only to be held back by Ashton, “but he will destroy each and everyone of you”.

“Betray?” Caleb scoffed. “You are the one who attacked us when we didn’t do anything to you. If anything you betrayed him cause he promised you won’t bother us anymore. If he is dangerous, then perhaps you are the one whom he should come after.” An evil smirk crept up Caleb’s face.

What he expected was some protest or argument on how that Vampire, Axel was it? Won’t attack Lily, but instead he received silence coupled with a shudder of fear of her entire body.
