Chasing His Scentless Mate (Caroline) novel Chapter 52

Chapter 52: Chapter 52 I Won’t Give Up

Draven’s POV

I hadn’t chased after Caroline or forced her to stay. With my Alpha strength,I could have easily prevented her from leaving if I’d wanted to,but seeing those eyes filled with both love and pain,I lost all my strength and clarity of thought. I could only watch as she walked away.

I sat there stunned,thinking about how Caroline had just kissed me like she couldn’t live without me. I stared at the door in confusion.

It wasn’t until Ryan and Joseph walked in that my head started to clear. But one thing was clear-that kiss.She hadn’t just kissed me back,she’d melted into me. Her body couldn’t lie,the way she trembled against me,wanted me. A smile spread across my face. No way was I giving up now.

"Caroline ran out of here pretty fast,Alpha Draven," Ryan said.

"She still loves me," I said confidently. "She’s hurt and angry,but she loves me." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Alright,Romeo.So what exactly happened?"Joseph asked,always needing to know everything.

"We kissed." I couldn’t help grinning. "And trust me,that wasn’t a goodbye kiss. She loves me,and I’ll never give up on her."

I spent the rest of the afternoon trying to reach her. She kept rejecting my calls until finally turning her phone off completely. But if she thought that would stop me,she was wrong.

"She’s stubborn,but so are we," Alaric growled within me.

I left work with one goal,to see her at her house.We had to talk this out.She was going to listen to me,even if I had to wait outside all night. I needed her to tell me how she felt,to let out all her anger. Maybe then she could forgive me.

On my way,I stopped at the mall. I remembered how much Liam loved his building blocks,so I bought him a big new set. God,I missed that kid. The first time we met,we clicked right away and played for hours. He’s such a bright,friendly little boy. I’d promised to come back and play with him again,and I intended to keep that promise.

"There’s something about that pup,"Alaric murmured in my mind,his tone thoughtful. "He feels like pack... like ours."

"He’s Caroline’s son," I reminded Alaric.

"It’s more than that," Alaric insisted,but fell silent when I couldn’t understand what he meant.

Passing by a chocolate shop,I decided to go in and buy a huge box,maybe they could help sweeten my Caroline’s heart.

At her building,I told the doorman I’d stay outside howling her name if she wouldn’t see me. He looked at me with an amused smile. "You really screwed up,huh?"

"Like you wouldn’t believe."

"Want some advice from someone who’s been around?"

"Please."

"Big mistakes need big apologies. And don’t give up. Caroline’s special,worth fighting for." He gave my shoulder a friendly pat before calling her apartment. I could hear the laughter in his voice as he passed on my message. "You can go up. But fair warning,she’s pretty mad."

"Thanks for the advice. I brought chocolates,hoping they’ll help."

Leaving the chuckling doorman behind,I headed for the elevator. Standing at her door,I got what might be a stupid idea,but it felt right. Like the doorman said,the size of the apology should match the size of the mistake. I’d been a complete idiot about everything with her,so maybe being an idiot while begging for forgiveness was exactly what I needed to do.

I rang the doorbell and dropped to my knees,putting on my best puppy dog eyes while holding up the bag of chocolates in front of my face.

The door opened to Eleanor’s laughter from inside. "Oh my god,Draven,get up! You look ridiculous!" Caroline said,snatching the chocolate bag from my hands. She rolled her eyes at me. "I’ll take the chocolates,but don’t think this means anything."

She turned and walked back inside,leaving the door open. Before I could even get up,I heard Liam yell my name and felt him crash into my arms. My heart melted as I hugged him back. It was crazy how much I loved this kid after meeting him only twice. But then again,he was Caroline’s son,part of the woman I loved. Of course I would love him too.

"There’s more to it," Alaric growled softly. "He must be connected to us somehow."

I brushed off Alaric’s comment. The boy was simply adorable,and my wolf was probably just projecting our feelings for Caroline onto her son.

"Liam,my little buddy,I missed you! How are you?" I asked,completely focused on that beautiful boy.

"I’m good,Draven. And you?" He looked at me with those big eyes that reflected the color of my own eyes and a huge smile on his angelic little face. "Are you coming to play with me?"

"Of course I am. I said I would. And look what I brought for you." I said,handing him the wrapped present.

"Is it for me?" he asked with sparkling eyes. I got so emotional with him at that moment.
