Chasing His Scentless Mate (Caroline) novel Chapter 150

Chapter 150: Chapter 150 The DNA Test Results

Draven’s POV

I couldn’t sleep all night. Since talking to Caroline, Alaric has been restless and on edge. The hurt in her eyes kept bothering me.I’ve called her at least twenty times, but every time I got the same voicemail.

"The number you have dialed is not available. Please leave a message after the tone."

By morning, I was a mess. I’d gone over what I wanted to say a thousand times in my head. I needed her to know that Liz meant nothing to me,that what happened in London was all on her. The DNA test from Dr. Molina would clear my name and prove that Ella’s pregnancy was a total lie.

I got to the office earlier than usual and went straight to Caroline’s desk. It looked untouched—her computer was off, and the little framed photo of Liam was still there by the monitor. Seeing it made my chest tighten.

Ryan came out of the conference room, holding a coffee. "She’s not coming in today, Alpha."

"Where is she?" I asked.

"I gave her some time off," Ryan said firmly. "She needs it, and honestly, she deserves it after everything."

"Damn it, Ryan!" I growled."I need to talk to her. It’s important."

"Let’s get some coffee first," Ryan suggested, leading me toward the break room. "You look like you haven’t slept in days."

When we came in, Rose, Kyle, and Ava were standing close, whispering. As soon as they saw me, they stopped and looked cautious. You could feel the tension in the room right away.

We exchanged awkward greetings before Ryan, Kyle, and I headed back to my office.

Once the door shut, I faced Kyle. "What don’t I know?" I asked.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about,Alpha Draven" Kyle replied.

I stalked toward her, my Alpha dominance filling the room."Don’t play games with me.You’re all behaving strangely around Caroline.You’re protecting her from something—from me. What’s going on? Why are you all whispering with Rose and Ava? What do you know?"

Kyle’s eyes darted to Ryan, seeking backup.

"It’s not my place to tell you," Kyle finally admitted. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"So there is something," I pressed, feeling Alaric growing more anxious within me.

Before Kyle could respond, my phone rang.Dr. Molina’s office.I answered immediately.

"Alpha Draven, I apologize for the urgency, but Dr. Molina asked me to inform you that he’s sent you an email regarding your test results."

My heart raced as I rushed to my computer, pulling up my email. There it was—

From: Giovanni Molina

To: Draven Thorne

Subject: URGENT! Your test results

Draven,

I apologize for the delay, but I had to attend to an emergency and only managed to look at your tests today. I was very surprised by what I saw.

First, regarding your toxicology report, it was as I suspected—your test came back positive. A high concentration of morphine was detected. Pills were probably dissolved in your drink, and you took a massive dose that knocked you out. With that amount of morphine in your system, you wouldn’t have been able to stand up, let alone engage in sexual activity. You were drugged.

As for the DNA test, this shocked me even more because it couldn’t be performed. Besides collecting samples for DNA, I also took samples for a beta-HCG test, which detects pregnancy and establishes gestational age, to verify if Ms. Howard’s pregnancy timeline matched the date you supposedly were together. The thing is, Ms. Howard hasn’t been pregnant recently. She’s not pregnant at all. That’s why the DNA test couldn’t be performed. It’s all a scam.

Test results attached. If you need any clarification, contact me.
