My Atypical Wolf (BL)

Chapter 3: Pick a Team

After the weird encounter Ashton just felt glad that things did not turn out worse. He was this close to punching that guy in the face. After the incident Sara kept mostly to herself. She wasn’t scared of Matt, but she did not want to be the reason for someone’s inconvenience. They had their third period off so Ashton decided to go and take a look at the library. He noticed many girls giggling secretly and discussing how hot Ashton is and all. With the werewolf hearing it wasn’t hard for him to hear those.?If they knew that, they will probably be more careful.

He snorted at their reaction, because he wore glasses, even though he had perfect eyesight, and oversized clothes that hid his toned body perfectly. Turns out even with the nerdy outlook the girls found him attractive.

After a while a guy came and sat down next to him. Ashton did not want to be bothered, but nevertheless he did not say anything. He could tell by the scent of the other person that he was a beta. He simply did not react at all until the other person spoke up.

“Hey, you are the new sophomore right”? He asked him really nicely. Ashton looked up and simply nodded to him.

“Have you decided any club to join yet? We are from the music department? Wanna join”? He asked them.

.....

“I am really not that into music”. He said apologetically. He was lying through his teeth. He loved playing the guitar, and was quiet good at it. But he does not want to get involved in such things. He had a plan, he would take part in all the academic clubs, score well, and Get a college that will take him away from this werewolves.

He loved his family, they raised him as their own son, and did not lash out on him when they found out he was a Pure-blooded Alpha. This is why he would hate to be reason his family gets in danger. Who knows, if he leaves in the future, his family might have a better future.

“That’s too bad”. That boy smiled him.? He looked away to focus on his book when that boy spoke up again. “I am George by the way, I’m a junior. If you ever need any help feel free to ask me”. And then he left.

At lunch he was on his way to cafeteria when he realized he forgot to get enough money for the day. He went back to the library and found a corner bench and fell asleep there. He slept more than required which is why he missed his next class as well. Since he was already late and had some time before PE, he decided to check out which clubs are available there.

“Mrs Conwell.” He decided to approach her for the information. “So do you have any info on the clubs here”?

“Well, I do keep a record of the clubs and their existing presidents, but I think you should ask another sophomore named Sara. She is usually in charge of new students here”. Mrs Conwell told him.

“Yeah, her boyfriend already tried to kill me”. Ashton said in a low tone. By the expression it was pretty evident she was not surprised at all. It has happened before. Well, an alpha wolf is nothing if not possessive of their mate. So it was not hard for Ashton to understand how Matt feels. This why he had promised himself never mate with anyone. He hated giving in to his basic Alpha urges.

He looked at the sheets and decided to approach the president of Trig club. It was sad that the club was already full. He did not expect academic clubs to be full. Maybe everyone wanted to leave this small town just like him. He had to approach Sara next because she was in charge of the chemistry club. Unfortunately even that was full.

“Let me give you a piece of advice. Due to funding issues there is lack of space available, which is why the clubs are already full”. She told him with an apologetic smile.

“What should I do then”? He asked.

“Well, the music club still has vacancy. They accept even if you are new”.??She suggested. “Also, maybe try for soccer”. She raised her eyebrows. Ashton knew who was the president of Music club, so he checked the soccer one and was dumbfounded to find it was Matt.

“You want me to die for real”. He joked despite his cold demeanour.

Sara smirked before replying. “Don’t worry about Matt. He is mostly all talk no action guy. Why don’t you go at the tryouts today? They are selecting extras for the upcoming match. Maybe if you are good enough, you will make the team”.

Ashton simply nodded at her in a way it showed that he was considering the offer. He knew if he did his best he will clear it. He was pretty good at it. But he was trying to keep it low profile, so he was kind of worried will it get messed up or not.

After the classes were officially over, he showed up for the tryouts anyways. When Matt found out the new kid was here he smirked. He was positive that the he was going to ruin this kid. He was still frustrated at him about his behaviour, so what is the best way to get back at him other than the sport he is talented at?

He was up for a striker position, which worked out perfectly fine with Matt, with him being the Quarterback. The first round was comparatively easier, so Matt was a bit impressed when Ashton managed to make the shot.

After 4th?or 5th?round Matt was simply annoyed because, he could not keep Ashton from making a single shot. After the tryouts he simply dismissed them. He wanted to pick today but he had a bit of dilemma about Ashton. He didn’t hate him, but simply found him annoying. But it was also their last chance at winning the interstate trophy, so maybe he needed to make a smarter decision. He decided it would be best to consult with Caleb, who was so good with leadership skills before he made any decisions.

Even though the tryout was tiring, and a bit out of his plan, he would be lying if he said he did not enjoy it at all. It was in his nature to be athletic, giving into it was bound to give him pleasure.

He was feeling so happy that he decided to run back to his home. No not in the wolf form; he would not want people to find out he was a werewolf too. He just jogged back to his house. He was fast enough, but it would still take him almost two hours. Luckily he took a shortcut.

He was almost half way home when he saw something that was enough to scare a normal human being. A big giant white wolf was ravaging a dead deer in the middle of the road. Its blue eyes shone in such a way that it gave away the fact that it was no normal wolf. It was a werewolf. It was bad enough he ran into them in the school in their human form, but he also ran into one now in its wolf form. He stood there in the middle of the road face to face with the while wolf as he contemplated his next move.
