Chasing His Scentless Mate (Caroline) novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171: Chapter 171 Call from the Kidnapper

Draven’s POV

After we finished talking with Caroline’s parents, we went back to the main hall. Clara had set up our search headquarters there. The room was busy with activity. Maps were laid out on tables, and pack members were working together to find Liam. They used mind-links and phones to share information.

Alpha Gerald was already working his contacts in law enforcement, while Eleanor’s mother comforted both her daughter and Caroline.Mabel and Carlos were ready to help in any way they could.The pack house was filled with determined energy. Everyone there was committed to finding our missing pup.

After lunch, I went to my office with Beta Robert and Alpha Gerald.Two police officers were present, along with Alpha Arthur, Leo, Ryan, Nate, and Kyle. Caroline stayed with her mother and Eleanor, needing the feminine comfort they provided.

My phone rang with an unknown number.Instinctively, I put it on speaker so everyone in the room could hear.

"Draven Thorne," I answered, trying to keep my voice steady.

"Oh, handsome, what a sexy voice," came Ella’s sickeningly sweet tone. "Missing me?"

My blood ran cold. Alaric snarled inside me.

"Where are you?" I asked, fighting to maintain control.

"Just spending some quality time with a certain violet-eyed little boy.He’s having such a wonderful time playing with me." Her laughter sent chills down my spine.

"You’re insane! Where’s my son?!"I slammed my fist on the desk,the wood splintering under my strength.

"Oh, calm down, handsome. The brat isn’t yours. He might look like you, but he belongs to that little bitch who stole you from me." Ella spoke as casually as if discussing the weather.

"Ella, let me speak to Liam." I demanded.

"Easy there, Alpha," she purred. "First, let’s discuss my conditions for returning the little bastard in one piece."

Ryan placed a hand on my shoulder, silently urging me to stay calm. One of the officers was already signaling to his partner to try tracing the call.

"First, I want that bitch back in the hole she crawled out of—that backwater town of hers. Second, you’ll tell her you love me and that you’re going to marry me. Third, you’ll be my mate in every way, if you know what I mean." Her voice turned sultry, making my stomach turn. "Fourth, we’ll live in your pack house. And fifth, you’ll hand over the company to my father. After you do all that, I’ll return the brat to his mother. But if you don’t..."

Her voice hardened. "I’ll kill the little pest. Got it, handsome?"

"You’re completely insane, Ella!" I roared, unable to contain my rage any longer.
