Chasing His Scentless Mate (Caroline) novel Chapter 122

Chapter 122: Chapter 122 Alone with the Pain

Draven’s POV

I stood at the window of my office, watching Caroline get into Jax’s car. Kyle had told me they were going to lunch. I took a sip of my coffee, feeling angry inside.

Alaric growled in my mind. "We should follow them. Show him she’s ours."

I wanted to run after them, hit Jax in the face, and take Caroline with me. But I couldn’t. When I had asked Jax to Ryan’s house, he’d told me the truth. He said he liked Caroline, but because she liked me, he would stay away. But he also said if I ever hurt her, he would try to date her.

And now, I have to watch another man try to get my mate.

I knew this wouldn’t last. Soon, I would make Caroline mine again. For now, to keep her safe from Howard and his mean daughter Ella, I had to stay away.

I picked up my phone and called Alpha Arthur. He was the Alpha of the Northern Territory and had been good friends with my father. He was helping me look into the money problems in the company and my father’s strange death.

"Draven, what is it?" Alpha Arthur answered right away.

"Alpha Arthur, have you found the Alpha Council person who checked my father’s death?" I asked, rubbing my head.

He sighed deeply. "Still looking. The information from three years ago has been hidden, many files are missing. I think the person took Howard’s money and left..."

I closed my jaw tight, feeling very stressed. "I understand. I’ll keep looking here. Thank you for helping."

"I heard you and Ella are getting married," Alpha Arthur said slowly. "What happened? What about Caroline?"

"Yes, it’s true," I said sadly. "I’ll tell you everything when we meet."

After hanging up, I couldn’t stay in my office anymore. Like how the girls had their Tuesday "girls’ night," my friends and I also met often to talk, drink, and play games. We’d planned to meet at the Social Club tonight, Ryan thought a busy place might make me feel better.

When I got there, I went right to the casino area to meet the guys. We played poker, which made me feel a bit better. I found myself smiling and talking with my friends, drinking soda, keeping my promise not to drink after what happened at Clara’s party.

Suddenly, I smelled very sweet perfume in my nose. Before I could move, arms wrapped around my neck like a snake. The awful person kissed me on the mouth, a messy, bad kiss that left my lips wet with her spit and covered in red lipstick. Alaric growled with hate inside me.

"Baby, you’re here!" Ella yelled with her loud voice, looking too happy to see me.

"Let go of me, you devil!" I growled while trying to pull her arms off my neck.

"Oh, baby, don’t joke with me like that."
