Chasing His Scentless Mate (Caroline) novel Chapter 46

Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Begging for Forgiveness

Draven’s POV

I sped down the highway toward Puma Global,my knuckles white against the steering wheel.The urge to find Caroline and beg for forgiveness was overwhelming. I couldn’t bear to be without her anymore.

"We need to fix this," Alaric growled in my mind,his presence agitated and restless. "She’s ours."

"I know," I muttered aloud,pressing harder on the accelerator. "I was a complete fool."

Alaric had been in constant distress since Caroline left,pacing and howling within me. The bond between us was undeniable now. How could I have been so blind?

I reached out through our pack mind-link to Linda,"I won’t be back at the office today. Handle anything urgent."

"Is everything alright,Alpha?" Her fake concern was obvious.

"Fine. Just some personal matters to attend to."

I cut the connection quickly,disgusted by her betrayal. Every word from her now felt like poison,but I needed to maintain the facade until we gathered all the evidence.

Twenty minutes later,I pulled into the Puma Global parking lot. Joseph Taylor’s company stood tall and modern against the skyline. Joseph and I had known each other since childhood,our families maintaining good relations despite being from different packs. I hoped our friendship would help me now,because I needed to see Caroline desperately.

Alaric whined as we approached the building. "What if she refuses to see us?"

"Then we’ll try again," I insisted,straightening my tie. "And again after that. I’m not giving up."

The receptionist looked up with courtesy as I approached."Good afternoon,Alpha Draven. How may I help you?"

"I’d like to see Joseph Taylor,please. Tell him Draven Thorne is here."

"I’ll handle this,Andrea. I’ll take care of Mr. Thorne." I heard Eleanor’s voice and felt her eyes boring into my back with undisguised hostility.

"Good afternoon,Miss Larson. How are you?" I tried to maintain my composure.

"Please,follow me to my office. I’ll see if Mr. Taylor can meet with you." Eleanor spoke coldly,gesturing for me to enter her office. Once we were away from the receptionist’s eyes,she pointed her finger in my face and spoke aggressively,"Look here,Draven,don’t you dare try to harm my friend. Joseph won’t fire her,and if you insist on this nonsense of blocking Carrie’s work,my father’s lawyer will sue you,and you know Alpha Gerald has connections throughout the territory."

It was the last thing I needed,Caroline’s best friend preventing me from getting close and threatening me with her father’s influence.

I took a deep breath and spoke patiently,"Eleanor,I’m not here to hurt Caroline. I just want to talk to her,but I thought it would be proper to come to Joseph first."

Eleanor looked at me with eyes flashing in fury.

"Draven,stay away from Carrie. You’ve already crushed her. What more do you want? I won’t let you hurt her again."
