Chasing His Scentless Mate (Caroline) novel Chapter 103

Chapter 103: Chapter 103 Back to Thorne Enterprises

Caroline’s POV

"Miss Caroline, your desserts are here," said the delivery boy from The Elegant Bakery, my favorite fancy bakery in Harbor Bay.

I smiled as I took the beautiful white box with its gold ribbon. Inside were delicious chocolate truffles, macarons, and small cakes that I loved so much. A small card with Draven’s unique writing said, "Something sweet for my sweet mate. Missing you today. Love, D."

Rory purred contentedly inside me. Even apart, Draven always made me feel special.

I was about to text him thanks when my phone rang with his name on screen, making my heart flutter.

"I see your timing is perfect as always," I answered, smiling.

"Does that mean my surprise arrived?"

"It did. Thank you for the desserts. You’re spoiling me."

"That’s exactly my plan, sweetheart." I could hear him smiling. "Want to have dinner tonight?"

I sighed sadly. "Sorry, but tonight is ’club night’ with the girls. Mall shopping then sleepover at my place."

"So I get neither my mate nor my son?" Draven’s playful whine made me laugh. "Your friends must be plotting against me."

"Hang out with Ryan and the guys, they probably can’t see their mates either. We’ll meet tomorrow," I chuckled.

"Alright, I know better than to fight the woman squadron."

"woman squadron?"

"Yes, squadron. You’re a scary pack of females with clear ranks, ready to fight anytime. I’d rather stay on your good side." His teasing made me laugh hard.

"But Caroline," he got serious, "no hanging out with Jax and his bar crew."

His possessiveness made Rory happy. "Don’t worry, just us girls."

After we hung up, another delivery came. It was the afternoon snacks Draven had been sending for me and the office girls since we became friends, including Nina who had joined our group.

When we arrived at the mall later that evening, we introduced Nina to Kyle, and to our surprise, Ava already knew her.

"How do you two know each other?" Eleanor asked, looking between them curiously.

"I used to work at the cosmetics counter, and Joseph would constantly hang around watching Ava at the clothing boutique across the way," Nina explained with a knowing smile.

"Then she sold him this incredible makeup kit filled with premium cosmetics, skincare products, and perfumes. He gave it to me as a gift last weekend. Must have cost him a fortune," Ava laughed.

"You should have seen his face when he saw the total," Nina added, grinning. "But now I’ve landed a job that pays well, and I’m loving every minute of it."

"Ladies, Joseph is absolutely shameless," Ruby said, laughing. "But listen up, Nina is our new project since Caroline and Draven have worked things out. We need to transform this diamond in the rough. I promised to introduce her to a high-caliber wolf—you know, handsome, charming, and hot like our mates."

"And I’m guessing you already have someone in mind?" Kyle asked with a knowing look.

"You bet I do." Ruby’s eyes gleamed mischievously.

"So, Nina, are we free to work our magic on you?" Ava asked, practically bouncing with excitement.

"Just don’t damage my braces," Nina replied with a shy smile. "Everything else is fair game."

"Nina, couldn’t your orthodontist switch you from fixed to removable braces? Your teeth look almost perfect already," Eleanor said, gently tilting Nina’s chin to examine her smile.

"My evaluation appointment is scheduled for next month," Nina explained.

"Oh no, it’s not. We’re rescheduling that for this week," Eleanor declared with authority.
