Caroline's POV

Clara and I had spent the last few hours going through trip reports, and the day was finally coming to an end. Just as we started packing up our belongings, Alpha Draven emerged from his office while Ryan materialized at my door.

"Ladies, your day of hard work is done!" Ryan announced with his signature bright smile. "Alpha Draven and I are heading to Bella Vita for dinner. We'd love for the two most beautiful women in the company to join us."

Bella Vita was the city's most prestigious Italian restaurant, famous for both its steep prices and exceptional cuisine. Eleanor had been urging me to try their renowned gnocchi and house-made wine this weekend, insisting I needed to get comfortable with such upscale venues now that they might become part of my work routine.

"I'm so sorry, Ryan, but we already have plans and people waiting for us. Maybe another time?" Clara replied gracefully, referring to our dinner plans at my place.

I smiled and thanked him politely but couldn'

  • Chasing His Scentless Mate   Chapter 60 Gathering Allies

    Draven's POVAfter my conversation with Joseph,I found myself strategizing about how to convince Eleanor to help me win Caroline back. Then I remembered her boyfriend. The most effective approach to reach Eleanor would be through him. They were Caroline's closest friends, and I needed them to believe I was genuinely committed to her happiness.I picked up my phone and dialed the number Joseph had given me. She answered quickly."Hello?""Hi, Eleanor. This is Draven Thorne. Do you have a moment to talk?"I heard a frustrated sigh before she responded."Draven. How exactly did you get my number?""I'm an Alpha and a businessman, Eleanor. I have ways of acquiring any information I need.""Too bad you couldn't get the information that Carrie never betrayed you before you humiliated her, huh!"Damn feisty woman! Joseph had warned me about her protective nature."I deeply regret my actions, Eleanor.""Yeah, sure you do. So, Draven, let's be straight with each other? Don't try charming me be

  • Chasing His Scentless Mate   Chapter 59 Doing My Best for Her

    Draven's POVI got to the office early today. The internal audit was going well, and the first report showed some worrying signs. Just as I thought, Howard was one of the suspects. I'd been watching that Elder closely for months.I turned off my laptop and put it in the safe. The information was too important, so I'd changed the code and kept everything locked up. I took all important papers home with me every day. An Alpha had to be careful when looking into his own pack members.I spent the morning dealing with pack business. Ryan came to my office at lunch time, asking if I wanted to eat.Before leaving, I decided to reach out to Caroline. I pulled out my phone and typed:[I fell asleep with the taste of your kiss haunting me, dreamed of you all night, and now my wolf howls for you. I miss you both terribly. Forgive me, Caroline. We're meant to be together.]I put my phone away and went to the elevator with Ryan. When we got to the ground floor past security, someone grabbed me fro

  • Chasing His Scentless Mate   Chapter 58 Surprise Visit

    Draven's POVThe airport was busy as Ryan and I walked Clara to her gate. I felt sad watching her check her ticket. She wasn't just an assistant, she was family. Having her move across the ocean left an empty feeling in my chest."I've got a private jet ready for you in London once a month," I told her, fixing her bag strap. "Don't argue. I need my best advisor to visit."Clara smiled warmly and touched my cheek. "Draven, I had lunch with Caroline and Eleanor today," she said quietly. "Liam has a message for you."Alaric stirred instantly at the pup's name. "He does?" I couldn't help smiling. That kid had somehow become important to me so quickly."He wants you to play with him again," Clara said, watching me closely. "That pup really likes you.""I like him too," I said, surprised by how much I meant it.Clara squeezed my arm."Caroline's still hurt, Draven. But that boy... there's something special there. Don't give up on them."I hugged her tight. "I won't. I promise."She pulled ba

  • Chasing His Scentless Mate   Chapter 57 Having Lunch with Clara

    Caroline's POVLiam and I were building a tower with the intricate wooden block set that Draven had gifted him. My son had become completely enamored with this toy,hardly playing with anything else these days. We were already dressed and waiting for Elle and Nate to arrive so we could meet Clara for lunch before her big move to London."Mommy,is Draven coming to play with us today?" Liam asked,carefully balancing a block on top of his growing structure. The way his violet eyes lit up at the mere mention of Draven's name made my heart twist with conflicted emotions."Not today,sweetie," I replied gently. "Today we're having lunch with Aunt Clara because she's moving away soon."Rory stirred within me,sensing my unease."He's forming a bond with Draven. It's natural for pups to seek strong Alpha energy.""But he's MY pup," I responded,unsure why Liam's attachment to Draven bothered me so much. Perhaps because I knew how easily people could disappear from our lives.I heard the front door

    Caroline's POVAva walked over with a big smile."How are you both doing?" She looked at Elle and me. "Caroline,you have to see this new dress we just got in! It would look amazing on you. Just come take a quick look!""Now I'm curious too," Elle said,pulling me toward the store. "Let's check it out."I sighed but smiled. Shopping with Elle was always fun,and I was a bit curious about this dress.Ava went to the back and came back with a dress bag. When she unzipped it,I couldn't help gasping. It was a beautiful cocktail dress in deep green that would match my eyes. It had off-shoulder sleeves,a sweet neckline that wasn't too low,and a fitted top that flowed into a knee-length skirt. The back had a small teardrop cutout that showed just enough skin."Try it on. Right now," Elle ordered,pushing me forward."Elle,come on," I protested,though I was already touching the soft fabric. "Where would I even wear something this fancy? I hardly go out anymore.""Nate's coming back today,and we'r

  • Chasing His Scentless Mate   Chapter 55 Girls' Day Out

    Caroline's POV"Morning,sunshine!" Eleanor bounced into the kitchen in her pajamas.She went straight to Liam,who was busy eating his breakfast. "How's my favorite little wolf today?" she asked,kissing his forehead."I got up early,Auntie Elle!" Liam said excitedly,milk running down his chin."Morning,Elle. You're this happy because Nate's coming today,aren't you?" I laughed as I watched her dance around the kitchen."Oh Carrie,I can't wait to see him!" Elle put her hands over her heart,batting her eyelashes like a lovesick teenager. Elle and Nate had known each other since they were kids. He was the son of the neighboring pack's Alpha,and their marriage would bring the packs closer. But I knew Elle would have chosen him even if he wasn't an Alpha's son."Come on then,let's eat breakfast and go get His Highness's apartment ready," I teased,happy to see my friend so excited.After breakfast,we walked to Nate's new place,just a few blocks from ours. Elle had spent all week organizing fu
