Chasing His Scentless Mate (Caroline) novel Chapter 179

Chapter 179: Chapter 179 The Escape

Caroline’s POV

I glanced through the tiny window slit and realized darkness had fallen outside. My heart clenched painfully in my chest. "Moon Goddess, how is my son doing?"

I spent the entire day praying to the Moon Goddess to protect my little pup. Draven must hate me now. I simply left without saying anything. But I was desperate for my son. And I didn’t know what to do.

After Dennis came in and left that sandwich, I thought they’d gone out because everything became eerily quiet.

But then I heard noise,a door opening followed by voices. They’d returned.

"Your dinner," Daniel opened the door, handed me a package, and closed it again.

I pressed my ear against the door, desperate to know what they were planning.

"Dani, I find it strange that I can’t reach Linda," I heard Dennis comment.

"You should ditch that phone," Daniel reproached him.

"Relax, they can’t trace this number. We destroyed Caroline’s phone, they’ll never find it," Dennis seemed unconcerned. "How long are we keeping her?"

"Howard didn’t specify. He said to take care of her and not touch a single hair because she’s our guarantee that the arrogant Alpha Thorne will do everything we want," Daniel spoke.

"I thought the kid was the guarantee?"

"No, the kid was the bait to catch the bitch. He’s not Alpha Draven’s son, remember?! Draven will only protect the kid because of her. If something happens to her, he won’t give a damn about the boy."

My blood ran cold. They didn’t know that Liam is Draven’s son. Was this good or bad? Howard was involved in this; I should have been suspicious. His hatred and jealousy had no limits. I realized something else,they only mentioned the two of them. No sign of Liam being here. They must have him somewhere else.

I studied my surroundings carefully.Both Dennis and Daniel had the physiques of trained fighters,they wouldn’t be easy to overpower. I needed to be smart about this.

"I’m going outside to get a better signal to try and reach Linda," I heard Dennis say, followed by the door slamming.

A few minutes later, I heard someone snoring in the living room. I decided to take the package and eat what they brought me. This might be my only opportunity to escape. There was a sandwich and juice in the bag. I sat down and after finishing eating, the door opened. Dennis entered and closed the door.

"Good that you ate," he approached me, his eyes roaming over my body in a way that made my wolf Rory growl defensively.

"You know, Caroline, you’re so naive. You trust everyone, believe everything they tell you. Today, you didn’t even question anything, just followed all the orders I gave you." Dennis moved closer and ran his hand through my hair.

"You’re so beautiful! I’ve been enchanted by you since I first saw you. I wanted to rip out that rich Alpha’s throat for hovering around you. But it wouldn’t have mattered, you never noticed me. But now you’re here, and you’ll stay here for a long time, so let’s have some fun? I guarantee you’ll enjoy it."

I swallowed my disgust and forced myself to look vulnerable. "Please, Dennis, if I... if I do this with you, will you let me go?"

His eyes widened with surprise before darkening with lust. "Of course, sweetheart. I’ll make sure you get home safely."

I knew he was lying, but I needed him distracted. "Then... let me make this special," I whispered, forcing a shy smile.

Dennis grinned widely. "I knew you’d come around."

"Let me undress myself," I suggested softly. "It’ll be more... exciting that way."

He eagerly nodded and began tearing at his own clothes.

That’s when I spotted it,a gun tucked into his waistband.

Moon Goddess, I nearly made a terrible mistake. If I’d tried to overpower him directly, he could have shot me.

"Come on, hurry up," Dennis urged as he stripped down to his boxers.

"Patience," I teased,slowly unbuttoning my blouse."Don’t you know how to appreciate the moment?Where’s your sense of... romance?"
