Chasing His Scentless Mate (Caroline) novel Chapter 121

Chapter 121: Chapter 121 Girls’ Night and Date Talk

Caroline’s POV

When I arrived at the executive floor, Ava jumped from her desk and rushed me to the bathroom.

"Oh, tell me, tell me! How was it?" Her eyes were bright with excitement.

"It was really good, Ava, really good. But I’ll tell you all about it at girls’ night, so I only have to tell the story once."

"You’re going to kill us with suspense until tonight!" Ava pouted. "But I should warn you, Alpha Draven knows you went to lunch with Jax."

I felt my stomach drop. "How does he know?"

"Kyle told him."

"And?..." I tried to keep my voice steady, though Rory was suddenly alert within me.

"I overheard him telling Ryan that it’s better if you move on, he doesn’t want you to suffer and Jax is a decent man But Carrie," she lowered her voice, "his wolf was howling. He’s devastated."

"I know, Ava," I sighed, feeling Rory’s sadness echo my own. "But I can’t let myself sink. I have a son who needs me. Jax is a great person and we agreed to be friends for now. He knows my situation and my feelings. Soon Draven will be mated and I won’t be the other woman."

"You’re right. Let’s get back to work." She gave my arm a supportive squeeze.

When I sat at my desk, I checked my phone and had lots of messages from the girls, all wanting to know how my lunch with Jax went, with many emojis and funny stickers. I sent a message to the group saying the same thing I’d told Ava, that I’d tell them tonight.

There was a message from my parents asking how we were doing. Dad’s messages always carried that protective Beta tone, even in text. I hadn’t found the courage yet to tell them what happened with Draven. I’d wait to explain when I visited them again.

There was also a message from Mabel with a photo of Liam all covered in ice cream, hands up in the air with such a happy face. His purple eyes sparkled with joy. In the message, she said it was a very hot day and my little cub had been so well-behaved that he earned an ice cream after eating all his lunch. I smiled at that photo. My son ate everything and ate well, but he loved ice cream, candy, and chocolate just like any wolf cub with a sweet tooth.

And there was another message that made me smile, but in a different way. It was from Jax.

"I loved spending time with you, but I have a problem. I’m sitting at my desk with a silly grin on my face. My wolf won’t settle down. I have tons of work to do, but I can only think about you. My next invitation won’t take long. I want to see you again soon."

I quickly typed back to him,"I really enjoyed spending time with you too. I’m looking forward to your next invitation. You sure know how to show a woman a good time."
