My Atypical Wolf (BL)-Chapter 231
Chapter 231: One on One
When the pack Luna finally answered from the other end he noticed that she was a much older lady than Alpha Miller, who had silver blonde hair, much like ice. She indeed appeared as if she was born to be the Luna of Ice Fountain.
“Greetings, Mr Wrisberg” She began. “It is... really you”. She smirked.
“I am surprised you can tell, considering we never met,” Christian replied back. Her voice had a certain devious charm that urged Christian to be cautious around her. “So tell me, to what do I owe this pleasure”? He asked.
She let out a subtle suspicious smile before she spoke, “The wolf that you abducted from us, you had him weaponised” She began. “That weapon of yours is responsible for killing my husband.”
“He is not a weapon” Christian prompted.
“A wildling like that can be nothing but a weapon” She snorted.
“You mean like that mindless husband of yours”? Christian tilted his head. As soon as he said those words the woman’s smirk turned into a glare. “As for abducting, I am sure you were the one who held him captive against his wishes. If anything we freed them.”
.....
“And jeopardised everything for that one wolf”? She challenged him.
“Sure. If your husband can jeopardise his pack and four others for his ego, I don’t see why I shouldn’t do the same for my brother’s mate.” Christian challenged. As soon as he said that, his fingers trembled a bit. He wasn’t supposed to reveal that, what if she came for his brother for vengeance. Sure Caleb was a good fighter, but he was still recovering.
“Your brother’s mate killed mine” She scoffed. “Give me a reason why he deserves to live”.
“Your husband is the one who was adamant on killing him.” Christian pointed out. “If it weren’t for his obsession of murder, he would be alive. In fact, your husband is the one who got off easy. Plain and simple death”
“Lies,” Genevieve spat. “You are deliberately trying to turn this over to us. Your precious wolf was the one who attacked us in our home.”
“As far as I am concerned he wouldn’t have attacked if you didn’t bother him. You guys are nosy, and you expect everyone else to pay for your intrusiveness? What a bunch of cowards” Christian hit again.
She scoffed. “There you go again, using a bunch of excuses. It’s called being careful. We deserve to know why another wolf was trespassing.” She argued back.
“Sure, but that doesn’t mean you would resort to violence to get what you want” Christian argued back. f𝓇𝘦ℯ𝙬𝑒𝐛n𝐨νe𝙡.c𝑜𝗺
“You don’t play with words while you deal with monsters. You gotta take action if you want to protect yourself,” She tilted her head slightly.
“Maybe it’s your paranoia which got your husband killed.” Christian sighed. “Is that all you wanted to discuss”?
“I am offering a truce.” She blurted. “Hand us the wolf who killed my husband and we will retreat peacefully”.
“Not a chance” Without skipping a beat Christian declared.
“Then there will be bloodshed” She smirked.
“Yeah, yours. Riley told me you have kids. They just lost their father, do you want them to become orphans”? Christian asked.
“Bold of you to assume I’ll die” She scoffed. “The only reason he could kill my husband was because we didn’t expect him to be that monster. We will be prepared when we strike again.”
“And when you do I want you to remember that we are literally fighting with the least bit of our efforts. Which means, our recruitments will be here soon, and not only will you be outnumbered, you will be overpowered when you do so.” He joined his hands into a fist as he stared into the screen. “You are fighting us in our land. You really think you can get to us?”
She opened her mouth but fumbled to say anything else. Christian could tell her confidence was shaken and as much pleased as he was with their interaction, he didn’t want to unleash a battle here. He wasn’t exactly fond of this war, so he came up with another solution. “How about this...” He suggested. The moment he said that Christian swears that Mrs Fountain’s ears perked up.
“We settle this one on one battle” Christian proposed.
“I am intrigued...” a smile appeared on her face. “But on one condition, that monster won’t be the one to fight us”
“He is not a monster” Christian protested, “And no, I would take the fight” Christian declared. He had put enough pack members in jeopardy already, he didn’t wanna do more.
“Very well then. I’ll see you at the Downpour Stadium. As it’s mayor I am sure you can arrange that” She shrugged before hanging up. Christain sat there quietly wondering about everything that went down, including whether or not he should have proposed the idea. He already had the upper hand, should he have intimidated her more till she backed off? That doesn’t seem very likely given that this woman just lost her mate, and wolves don’t take the loss of their mate lightly.
“You aren’t seriously considering that are you”? Asked Sebastian who walked in.
“Why are you still here”? Christian shot back.
“Relax, I checked with Matt 5 minutes ago, as I have been doing so every 10 minutes for that past hour.” Sebastian shrugged. “What about you? You really wanna go through with this? You realise how risky this is right”? Sebastian mocked.
“I appreciate your concern, but I assure you I am quite capable.” Christian shrugged.
“That’s not what I am worried about. I am sure as the future Alpha you have your training. I meant do you really trust that woman? What if she uses that as a distraction or takes this as an opportunity for something much more dangerous? What then”? Sebastian pointed out.
“Don’t worry. I will make sure I tie up every loose end before I go there.” Christian sighed. “Besides, you were the one who said I should go out in the front. Fight with others” He shrugged.
“I did,” Sebastian tilted his head, “But don’t be blinded by the spirit. Just watch out” Sebastian advised.
“I will.” Christian let out a smile. “Now, you should leave. When I said you should be present there, I need you to physically present there. Even I can check up on them. Go”! He snarled at Sebastian. Sebastian shot him a quick glare before taking his leave. As he sat there all by himself he considered everything.
He was in the middle of imagining various scenarios when he felt his brother trying to link him
