Chasing His Scentless Mate (Caroline) novel Chapter 220

Chapter 220: Chapter 220 Family Matters

Caroline’s POV

Thank Goddess,Nate’s surgery was successful. After thorough examination, the doctors discovered his spinal damage wasn’t as severe as they initially feared. He wouldn’t suffer permanent disability.

Thanks to his Alpha’s remarkable healing abilities, after a week in the hospital, he was already slowly walking around.

I video called Nate and Eleanor every day. Eleanor hadn’t left his side since he was hospitalized. Both she and Teresa, after their initial breakdown on that first horrible night, quickly bounced back into battle mode, ready to tackle any obstacle in their path.They were truly remarkable women.

"Looking much better today," I commented, balancing my tablet on my enormous belly while lounging by the pool.The quadruplets were particularly active this morning.

Nate take cautious steps across his hospital room while Eleanor hovered nearby.

"Still moving like an old wolf," Nate grimaced, "but the doctors say I’ll be back to running in packs within a few months."

Eleanor’s face appeared on screen. "He’s being modest. The physical therapist says his recovery is nothing short of miraculous."

"How are you holding up?" Eleanor asked, eyeing my exhausted expression.

"Like I’m about to pop any second," I sighed. "Dr. Molina says everything looks good, but honestly, I can’t wait for these four to make their appearance."

Rory, my wolf, agreed enthusiastically. "We’re ready to meet our pups."

"Where’s Draven?" Nate asked.

"Security meeting with Ryan. Howard’s attack on you has everyone on high alert."

The mere mention of Howard sent a chill through me. The monster was still out there, plotting his next move. Draven had doubled security around the pack house and assigned guards to everyone connected to us.

After ending the call, I closed my eyes, enjoying the rare moment of peace. My mother sat in the lounge chair beside me, reading a novel. The sound of her phone ringing broke the tranquility. She glanced at the screen, frowned deeply, and answered with a curt "No" before hanging up.

"What’s wrong, mom? Who managed to crack your zen facade?" I asked.

"Nobody important," she replied, returning to her book.

"Mom." I gave her a pointed look. "What’s going on?"

"Nothing to worry about."

We remained locked in silent standoff until Draven and my father emerged from the house. They immediately picked up on the tension.

"Is everything alright?" Draven asked, his violet eyes scanning between us.

My mother sighed heavily. "If you must know, my sister Diana won’t stop harassing me about talking to Caroline."

"And what does she want with me?" I asked, immediately annoyed. My aunt Diana and I had never gotten along.

"To discuss Marcus," my father growled. "Since that miserable excuse for a wolf was arrested, she’s been tormenting your mother non-stop."

"Call her, mom. Give me the phone."

"Caroline, no!" My mother protested. "In your condition—"

"Call her, Lena," Draven requested calmly. "She’ll keep pestering you otherwise. Let’s address this once and for all."

"Fine." My mother reluctantly dialed and handed me the phone. I put it on speaker as my aunt answered.
