Chasing His Scentless Mate (Caroline) novel Chapter 244

Chapter 244: Chapter 244 Full Circle Memories

Caroline’s POV

Time had flown since the Howard Ashford incident. Draven and I gradually established a rhythm managing both Storm Valley Pack and Thorne Enterprises. The company had become even more structured and regulated after the investigation. Everything was thriving.

The best news? Our quadruplets were going to be turning one year old next week.

I smiled, thinking about our beautiful children. They were perfect blends of us.

Lucas and August inherited my golden hair while displaying their father’s striking violet eyes. Aurora and Layla had Draven’s golden-brown hair with my emerald green eyes. All four were growing healthy and happy under Liam’s protective big brother watch. He was especially gentle with his sisters.

After much heated debate among their loving aunts and uncles, we finally settled on godparents. Lucas became Jace’s godson, while Ryan claimed August. Ava proudly became Aurora’s godmother, and Kyle absolutely adored little Layla.

Eleanor pouted about not securing a spot among the godmothers.

"You already have Liam," Ryan had teased her during our family dinner last month. "Don’t be greedy!"

Everyone was pouring tremendous energy into planning the perfect first birthday celebration. After much deliberation, Draven made the final call—we’d celebrate at my parents’ small farm in Maplewood.

"The kids should bond with their grandparents," he’d insisted, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"Alpha’s orders?" I’d teased, earning a playful growl from him.

Beyond the birthday, we’d also be attending Blood Moon Pack’s traditional annual masquerade ball. The thought made butterflies dance in my stomach.

I was packing our bags when Draven emerged from the closet holding a black box. He pulled me to sit beside him on our bed, his eyes twinkling with mischief.

"What’s that?" I asked curiously.

Draven’s lips curved into a seductive smile. "Mementos from our first night together."

He opened the box, revealing a black mask, a white handkerchief, and torn panties. I burst out laughing.

"I told you I kept your panties," he said triumphantly, looking ridiculously pleased with himself.

"And the handkerchief?" I asked, confused.

Rory stirred inside me. "Men and their strange trophies," she commented, making me suppress another laugh.

"It needed washing," Draven admitted, "but I kept it anyway. I used this to clean you up after our encounter that night." His smile was absolutely wicked. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"You know, I actually looked for those panties after you left me in that room," I confessed. "Never imagined you’d keep them as souvenirs."

"I’ve kept all the others I’ve torn off this delicious body too." Draven suddenly pulled me onto the bed, covering my body with his. "But those are in our apartment, where I make you scream while I’m inside you."

"Oh really?" I grinned up at him. "Someone’s being naughty."

"You’re the naughty one," he countered. "I have to cover your mouth when you’re riding me on this bed so we don’t wake our children."

Draven laughed against my neck, his hot breath sending shivers down my spine. His hands began exploring my body, finding all my sensitive spots.

"What can I do? My husband is a sexy pervert," I sighed, already surrendering to his touch.

"Good to know," Draven murmured before claiming my lips in a passionate kiss.

We spent more than half the night awake, lost in each other’s arms.

Suddenly, his lips curved into a mischievous smile.

He pulled me toward an empty room I remembered all too well.

"Feeling nostalgic?" I teased as he pressed me against the wall.

"Some memories deserve recreation," he growled before capturing my lips in a hungry kiss.

Our bodies remembered this dance perfectly. His hands slid beneath my dress, finding me already wet with anticipation. With a familiar sound of tearing fabric, Draven ripped my panties away just as he had five years before.

But this wasn’t about strangers finding release in the darkness anymore.

We were husband and wife, Alpha and Luna, bound by love and shared children. Our movements were both familiar and entirely new, more intense because of everything we’d built together.

Draven lifted me against the wall, entering me in one powerful thrust that made me gasp. I wrapped my legs around his waist, clinging to his shoulders as he drove into me with increasing urgency.

"Quiet, angel," he whispered against my ear when my moans grew louder. "Unless you want an audience."

The danger of discovery only heightened our pleasure. I bit his shoulder to muffle my cries as waves of ecstasy crashed through me. Draven followed moments later, his body tensing as he growled my name.

We stayed there, leaning against the wall, completely breathless. His forehead pressed against mine as we both struggled to regain composure.

"You’re truly incredible," Draven murmured, his violet eyes glowing behind his mask. "But this time, beautiful, I know your name." His thumb traced my cheek tenderly. "And I’ll never lose you again. I love you, my angel."

"I love you too, Alpha," I whispered back, my heart full.
