Chasing His Scentless Mate (Caroline) novel Chapter 235

Chapter 235: Chapter 235 A Villain’s Tale

Caroline’s POV

Howard shoved Draven onto the couch, towering over him menacingly.

"I’ll tell you what I want, and you’re going to give it to me right fucking now, you spoiled bastard!"

"This is between you and me, Howard. Let Caroline and my staff go," Draven said.

"I give the orders here, and nobody’s leaving!" Howard snarled viciously. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Howard paced back and forth in front of Draven.

"Let me tell you a story, Draven," Howard said. "Do you know how I met your father?"

"No idea," Draven replied coldly.

"I was working part-time at a restaurant your father frequented during my college years," Howard began. "Back then, I was just an ordinary wolf. I couldn’t even keep up with basic pack training. I had to study twice as hard as everyone else just to get into college for finance, working multiple jobs to pay tuition. Your father was the Alpha heir, wealthy and powerful with a bright future ahead of him. At that time, your grandfather had built Storm Valley Pack into something impressive, and Thorne Enterprises was thriving under his leadership."

Howard paused, his expression darkening. "One day, your father brought your mother to the restaurant. Some guy grabbed her purse when she got out of the car. I chased him down and got it back. Your mother was stunning—elegant, kind. She thanked me, and your father gave me his card, told me to come by the company. So your father got me a job. Financial assistant, they called it, but I was just running errands."

"And you repaid his kindness by killing him. What kind of monster does that?" Draven’s voice was tight with controlled rage.

"Your father was weak, believed in everyone. Not fit to run the pack or the company." Howard’s face twisted with contempt.

"But I worked hard, graduated. Later, at a pack gathering, I met Helena. She was an annoying bitch, but from a good family with useful connections. Good enough to accompany me to pack events. Started dating her around the same time your parents were dating. We went out together sometimes."

His eyes took on a distant look. "I fell completely in love with your mother. She was extraordinary. I tried everything to get her attention, but she only had eyes for your boring father. They got married, and I settled for Helena."

"My mother would never have looked at you," Draven growled, "My father was twice the man you’ll ever be, you pathetic piece of shit."

Howard sneered. "Your father was weak. But I stayed close, played the friend to advance in the company. It worked. Gained trust, became financial director. Your grandfather was getting old, ready to retire. I thought if I became your father’s best friend, I’d get the vice presidency. But then your grandfather died, and your father made his eighteen-year-old son vice president instead. You, a spoiled pup who knew nothing."

"The company was always meant to stay in the Alpha family!" Draven shot back. "When my father offered me the position, I tried to refuse, but he insisted I needed to prepare for my succession."

"He told me the same bullshit!" Howard laughed bitterly. "You and your father were always obstacles. That’s when I realized I’d never get what I deserved. So I started embezzling money and planned my own company. Everything was going perfectly until you started digging."

"And look where your greed led you," Draven said. "A criminal, a murderer, a thief. You ruined your life, killed your own mate, and put your daughter in jail."

"Ella is useless, just like her mother." Howard laughed. "She’s deadweight. Let her rot in prison. Look at her, couldn’t even give you an heir, while this bitch gave you five pups in record time. You wolves breed like rabbits!"

"Show some respect for Caroline," Draven snarled. "She has nothing to do with this."

"She has everything to do with this!" Howard’s face reddened. "If that bitch hadn’t entered your life, you’d be dead! And if she hadn’t joined the company, you would’ve married my Ella, and I would’ve left you in ruins, dependent on me!"
