Draven’s POV
The week had been absolute chaos.Nate still hadn’t managed to schedule an appointment with his uncle from the Lunar Medical Center, since he was at a werewolf medical conference in Geneva and wouldn’t return until the following week.
It was already Saturday, and we had our scheduled meeting about the company’s audit. Alpha Arthur had news.Almost everyone had already arrived at my penthouse, including Caroline, with only Arthur and Clara running a bit late. Besides Caroline and me, Ryan and Kyle were also present, along with the tech specialist Leo, and two more wolves from Arthur’s investigation team.
"Caroline, thank you for coming," I said, approaching her as she sat on the couch. She looked beautiful in a flowing floral maxi dress, but she didn’t seem to be feeling well. Alaric immediately perked up at her presence, concerned by her pallor.
"I know you’ve been following the audit reports, but now in the final stretch, we thought it was important for you to be here."
"Don’t mention it, Draven," she gave me a weak smile. "I’m eager to finally uncover everything and put an end to these traitors’ schemes against the pack."
In wolf society, betraying your Alpha and pack was one of the most serious offenses.
"Carrie, are you okay? You look a bit pale."I couldn’t hide my concern.She looked like she was in pain, and it wasn’t because she was in my house.
"My stomach hurts," she said, wincing. "I must have eaten something bad." The pain on her face made Alaric stir inside me, worried about her.
I sent Carlos,my housekeeper, a quick mindlink asking for tea. He hurried to the kitchen and came back with a hot cup and teapot on a tray.
Carlos stepped forward with the cup. "These herbs are from our old lands, miss." He shook his head with a gentle smile. "You young wolves and your fast food. No wonder your stomachs get upset."
"You’ve got me there, Carlos." Caroline’s whole face lit up when she smiled. "Thanks so much."
Carlos nodded and went to get the door. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Everyone in the room went quiet when Clara and Arthur walked in holding hands. The way they were grinning at each other said it all.
"Why’s everyone staring?" Arthur laughed. His gray-streaked hair and Alpha presence usually made other wolves nervous, but not today.
Ryan smirked. "It’s because Clara makes you look less scary, Alpha Arthur. Maybe you should keep her around to soften that Alpha glare of yours."
"That’s the plan," Arthur said softly, his eyes stuck on Clara like she was the only person in the room.
After we all did our pack greetings, I couldn’t wait anymore.
"So when’s the mating ceremony?" I asked.
"Don’t be so nosy!" Caroline bumped my arm. Her touch sent sparks through my whole body.
"Hey, we all wanted to know that!" Kyle jumped in to back me up. "Even you, Carrie!"
Caroline gave us this sneaky smile. "Who says I don’t already know?"
