Chasing His Scentless Mate (Caroline) novel Chapter 101

Chapter 101: Chapter 101 He Has Another True Love?

Caroline’s POV

I turned to see Ruby approaching with a bright smile. "You have some special visitors, Caroline," she announced with mischievous eyes.

My heart jumped when I saw Draven walking to my desk, carrying Liam in his strong arms. My son was grinning happily, waving at everyone in the office. Ryan followed behind them, looking amused at all the attention.

"Your hottie is here," I whispered to Ruby, seeing how she stared at Ryan. She blushed and pushed me playfully.

When they reached me, Liam squirmed excitedly in Draven’s arms. "Mommy! I came to get you!" he shouted with pure joy that melted my heart.

Tears filled my eyes as I hugged my little boy, kissing his chubby cheeks. Rory purred inside me, happy to have our pack together.

"I hope you don’t mind that I picked up Liam and sent Mabel home," Draven said with that smile that still made me weak. "I thought we could all go home together today."

"Of course not," I moved closer. He bent down to give me a soft kiss that made my wolf hum with happiness.

"Mommy, Uncle Ryan gave me this, look!" Liam showed me a package full of candies, lollipops, and chocolates.

"Oh really? And did you say thank you to Uncle Ryan?" I asked my little one, giving Ryan a firm look.

"Yes, Mommy," Liam nodded hard.

"Very good!" I kissed his forehead. "Thank you, Ryan."

"Don’t mention it, Carrie. This kid is amazing!" Ryan messed up Liam’s hair lovingly.

"Well, well, what do we have here?" Mr. Reeves came over smiling and held out his hand. "Hello, young man."

"Hi," Liam smiled sweetly and took Mr. Reeves’s hand. "Want some candy?" he offered, making everyone laugh.

"No thank you, young man." Mr. Reeves chuckled before turning to me. "Caroline, is this your handsome son?"

I nodded proudly as Mr. Reeves said, "What a handsome little guy! He looks just like his father," he looked between Liam and Draven, who smiled confidently.

"My son is beautiful indeed, thank you, Mr. Reeves," Draven replied smoothly.

"You two visit my floor quite often lately," Mr. Reeves said playfully to Draven and Ryan. "I hope you’re not planning to steal my two favorite employees."

"For now, Mr. Reeves, just one of them," Draven smiled confidently, "but you never know."

"I’ll have to ask you for a job too if you take both," Mr. Reeves joked.

"I think Joseph would be upset if we took his whole team," Ryan laughed.

We gathered my things and said goodbye. Eleanor and Nate were waiting outside, and we all decided to go for dinner. Kyle and Luke would join us later.

The evening was full of laughter and talk. Eleanor kept giving me knowing looks when Draven held my hand under the table or whispered to me. By dinner’s end, I felt happy, surrounded by our friends and family.

After dinner, Eleanor went to Nate’s while Draven came to my place.

Once Liam was asleep, we went to my room. He sat at the bed’s end, giving me an amazing foot massage.

"So, sweetheart," Draven started, his strong fingers working my feet, "when are you coming back to Thorne Enterprises?"

I sighed, knowing this talk was coming. "Draven, I haven’t made that decision yet."

"Rose knows everything in that company. She told me a lot." He paused, looking worried. "But there’s one more thing."

"What is it?" I encouraged.

"Caroline," he started carefully, "when my parents died, I had met someone who changed my life very quickly." He sounded uncomfortable. "Too quickly. But this woman disappeared. I tried everything to find her, hired three investigators, but they all said it was hopeless. The last try was about a year ago."

"Clara mentioned her briefly. Said you lost hope after that." I tried to sound calm, but my chest hurt.

"Until you came along," he said softly, looking into my eyes. "But Howard manipulated those investigations too, paid them to make me give up, telling me finding her was impossible."

My stomach turned cold. What if she was his true mate? Clara only mentioned a woman who had captured his heart, not that she was his mate. Would he leave me if he found her? Rory whimpered anxiously.

"I think she might have been my..." Draven stopped suddenly.

My heart stopped. Was he going to say "mate"? Was she his true, destined mate?

Draven saw my fear and quickly moved to hold my hands.

"Caroline, look at me. Listen carefully." His voice was firm but gentle. "I love you! That woman became my past the moment I heard your voice that first day at Thorne. Don’t worry about this. I won’t look for her again, but you needed to know. I don’t want anyone using this to hurt you."

But I was already feeling insecure. Draven noticed and cupped my face, kissing me deeply, like he was proving I was his future. Then he kissed my neck.

"Let me show you who I belong to," he whispered.

He made love to me so tenderly that night, treating my body like something precious. Every touch and kiss promised he was mine completely.We fell asleep wrapped together, my head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat.

But as I drifted off, I couldn’t help wondering.If his true mate came back, would he still be mine?
