Chasing His Scentless Mate (Caroline) novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6: Chapter 6 Eager to Meet the New Assistant

Draven’s POV

As I sat in my hotel room overlooking Central Park, I couldn’t help but wonder about the new assistant who would be joining my team. Her voice had completely muddled the details I needed to confirm, and I was irritated by my inability to articulate my thoughts, my mind in such disarray. In the end, I had shouted at the woman on the other end of the line like a madman. I probably scared her half to death. Perhaps she’d be gone by the time I returned, and Clara would have my head.

Clara had been the perfect assistant, but with her taking charge of our London operations, I needed someone equally competent to fill her shoes. The pack’s business was expanding rapidly, and I had to adapt quickly.

My wolf, Alaric, stirred restlessly in my mind.

"Are you sure about this, Draven? A new assistant means new risks."

I swirled the whiskey in my glass.

"We don’t have a choice, Alaric. The pack needs this."

Alaric growled softly.

"You shouldn’t have lost your temper like that, Draven. It’s unbecoming of an Alpha."

I sighed, rubbing my temples. He was right, of course. But something about that voice had thrown me off balance. It was so melodious, so calm, and yet it had ignited a fire within me that I couldn’t explain.

"I know, I know," I replied. "But there was something about her voice... it was oddly familiar."

Curious about this new assistant, I dialed Clara’s personal number. She picked up on the second ring.

"Draven? Is everything alright?" Clara’s voice was tinged with concern.

Clara was my most trusted pack member. She’d been with the pack since my parents’ time. She’d practically changed my diapers. I held great respect for the woman, who always joked with me as if I were still that kid running around the office.

"Everything’s fine, Clara. I just wanted to ask about the new assistant. You mentioned she came recommended by the Alpha of Blood Moon Pack?"

"Intriguing," Alaric commented. "An Alpha’s recommendation is not given lightly."

"Yes, that’s correct. Caroline Bennett. She’s highly qualified, Draven. I wouldn’t have suggested her otherwise."

I frowned, my curiosity deepening.

"If she’s so impressive, why did she leave her previous pack?"

Clara hesitated for a moment.
