Chasing His Scentless Mate (Caroline) novel Chapter 182

Chapter 182: Chapter 182 Retribution

Draven’s POV

I entered the interrogation room of the pack house and was immediately struck by the number of wolves present. At the back of the room, several employees were sitting in chairs lined up in rows. I recognized each one—the directors of accounting, sales, operations, and administration.All of them had participated in Howard’s embezzlement scheme against Thorne Enterprises.

On the opposite side, in a chair by the table, sat the employee we had planned to use to catch the others.But with Liam and Caroline’s kidnapping, we’d been forced to accelerate our timeline.This wolf had made a stupid mistake—showing off a fancy lifestyle that didn’t match his job at the company. He was greedy and careless, always talking too much. His big mouth made him the weakest link in Howard’s group.

Besides these employees, Alpha Arthur and Alpha Gerald were present, along with three enforcers from Arthur’s team. Magnus, the head investigator from the Alpha Council who was looking into my parents’ death, stood nearby with his team of five other investigators.

"You called for me, Arthur?" I asked as I entered.

"Yes, Draven. We’re wrapping things up here, and I wanted your input on how to proceed," Arthur replied.

"Proceed with what, exactly?" I asked, feeling the fatigue of the past days weighing on me.

"Besides Howard, these four directors are up to their necks in this fraud, just like we thought. Plus twenty other pack members. They’re all here." Arthur put his hand firmly on the shoulder of the wolf sitting away from the others. "Mr. Reynold Perry here has decided to spill everything. As Alpha, you need to decide what happens to them. Magnus and the Council agree that whatever you decide goes."

I took a deep breath, Alaric growling with barely held back anger. These wolves hadn’t just stolen money,they’d stabbed our pack in the back.

"I want them to pay for everything they’ve done," I said, my voice dropping low and dangerous, making several wolves back away. "You’ve all been part of this pack for at least fifteen years. You didn’t just screw me over, but also my father who treated you like family. You turned on the people who took care of you and put every member of this pack at risk because of your greed."

"Alpha Draven, please,"Reynold began pleading. "I only got involved because my pup was sick. I needed money for treatments. After that, I couldn’t get out since they wouldn’t let me."

I stepped closer to him threateningly."And you thought stealing was easier than coming to your Alpha for help?"

I chuckled darkly. "You better have exceptional information to share, because we already know quite a bit. If what you offer isn’t valuable enough, forget any chance of mercy."

"I swear by the Moon Goddess, Alpha, my information will prove useful," Reynold whimpered, lowering his head submissively.

I nodded."Arthur, you can work out details with this one, but he’s removed from any position of authority within the pack. Demoted to omega status."

"Alpha, please, I want to make a deal too," Gilbert from accounting suddenly called out.

"Is that right, Gilbert?" I moved closer to him, my aura making him shrink back. "And what could you possibly know that Reynold doesn’t?"

"I know where Howard has gone," Gilbert blurted out.

In an instant, I was before him, gripping his collar until we were face to face.

"If you’re lying to me..." My eyes flashed dangerously.
