Chasing His Scentless Mate (Caroline) novel Chapter 143

Chapter 143: Chapter 143 At Worst, I’ll Walk Away

Caroline’s POV

The news hit me like a punch to the gut. Dr. Molina’s words kept ringing in my ears, and I felt the ground cracking beneath me. Everything I’d built since moving to Harbor Bay was falling apart.

Eleanor drove me home, insisting I needed rest. As soon as we arrived, she began making calls. Within an hour, my living room filled up—Kyle, Ava, Ruby, and Nina showed up, all looking worried.Nina looked different these days,more confident since starting at Puma Global.

Mabel had already put Liam to bed before leaving, thoughtfully preparing some snacks and drinks for us.

“Thanks, Mabel,” I whispered.

“You take care, Miss Caroline,” she said softly. “Little Liam needs his mama strong.”

After she left, my friends formed a circle around me. Eleanor handed me a glass of water and settled beside me.

"Tell them, Carrie," she said softly."They need to know."

I took a shaky breath, hands trembling.

“I’m pregnant,” I finally said.

The silence lasted only seconds before eruptions of gasps and whispers filled the room.

"Oh my goddess!" Kyle exclaimed, her eyes wide. "You’re having another pup!"

"Liam’s going to have a little brother or sister," Ava said.

Ruby leaned forward."How far along are you?"

"About four weeks," I replied.

Ava’s expression suddenly changed as realization dawned on her."The father... is it...?"

"Alpha Draven?" Kyle finished.

I nodded slowly, unable to form the words.

"Are you going to tell him?" Ava asked carefully.

Before I could answer, Eleanor jumped in."She’s not planning to. Not with that Ella flaunting her pregnancy and upcoming marriage."

She crossed her arms ."And Nate can’t know either. You know how men are,they share everything with their pack brothers."

“They’re like glue,” Kyle rolled her eyes. “Ryan’d know in minutes, and Draven right after.”

Nina,quiet till now, finally spoke up.“Caroline, whatever you decide, we’ve got your back. But are you sure hiding this from Draven is the right call?”

I wiped away a tear."What choice do I have? He’s an Alpha, Nina.He has responsibilities to the pack." My voice cracked. "If Ella really is pregnant, and they mate... my child would be what? The illegitimate pup? The scandal? The mistake?"

Rory growled inside me, disagreeing with my words. She knew our pup wasn’t a mistake, but she also understood my fear.

"I love this baby already," I continued."Just like I loved Liam from the moment I knew about him. I’ll do anything to protect my children."
