Chasing His Scentless Mate (Caroline) novel Chapter 176

Chapter 176: Chapter 176 The Missing Puzzle Piece

Draven’s POV

On the screen was a photo that made Alaric growl in fury. It showed Caroline’s ex-boyfriend Marcus. The caption read, "Look who Marcus’s new girlfriend is."

"Nate, that’s Linda," I said.

"But how does Linda know Caroline’s ex? How did they end up together?" Kyle wondered, studying the photo.

"Linda? The Linda we’re looking for?" Nate asked, confusion evident in his tone.

"Damn, you’ve never met her. But your mother definitely would recognize her," I explained. Linda had worked as my father’s company assistant and would have attended various pack gatherings and business events.

Nate’s mother, being Luna of the Starlight Pack, would definitely know her face.

"Eleanor!"

I showed Eleanor the photo, and she unleashed a string of colorful curses before immediately taking charge of the situation.

"Nate, forward that photo to me right now. Ryan, call your investigator in Maplewood and put him on speaker." I had to admire how efficiently she commanded the room.

"This is Jace, who’s calling?" The investigator answered on the second ring.

"Jace, how are you?" Ryan greeted warmly.

"Ryan? What an honor, twice in less than a week," Jace joked.

Ryan had told me that Jace was a friend from his training days who preferred tracking and investigation to warrior duties, eventually becoming a freelance detective.

"Brother, the honor is all mine to call you friend. I need your help, and it’s urgent," Ryan replied, his tone serious.

"Just tell me what you need. I’m still in Maplewood," Jace said.

"That’s exactly what we need." In less than five minutes, Ryan and Eleanor had briefed Jace on the situation.

"I’ll contact the Maplewood police station immediately with this photo and information," Jace promised before ending the call.

Shortly after,Eleanor turned to me."I’ve informed Sebastian. He says he’ll immediately search the territory for Marcus and bring him in for questioning."

Eleanor’s brother was the Alpha of Blood Moon Pack. I’d wager that if Eleanor had been male, she would have made an exceptional Alpha herself.

I nodded quickly. "Tell Alpha Sebastian my search teams are almost there too."

"Kyle, when this is all over, remind me to send Nate’s mother a gift. Tell her I’m grateful, Nate." This was our first real lead since the nightmare began.

"Don’t worry, Draven. My mother is happy to help," Nate replied as his phone rang. "Hi, Mom?" He listened briefly, sighed, then put the call on speaker. "Mom, what are you saying?"

"Oh, Nate, you’re too slow! Put Eleanor on!" Nate’s mother demanded impatiently, making me smile despite everything.

"Mom, you’re on speaker," he informed her.

"Hi, Mother-in-law. You’ve helped us tremendously, thank you," Eleanor greeted warmly.

"Elle, I’m worried about Caroline.Something’s happened—maybe nothing, but I thought I should tell you."

"What is it, Mother-in-law?" Eleanor asked, suddenly alert.
