Chasing His Scentless Mate (Caroline) novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69: Chapter 69 Played Like a Fool

Draven’s POV

When Caroline and I collapsed exhausted onto the bed, the sun was already shining through the windows.We’d made love for hours-I’d kissed her, touched her, loved every inch of her body. We gave ourselves completely to the passion between us, and now I was certain that the same desire that made Alaric howl and my heart race, she felt it too.

I fell asleep with my beautiful mate in my arms, exhausted from the pleasure we’d shared and the happiness of finally being together. But I was too euphoric to sleep long,having her in my arms again was everything I’d been craving.

When I woke up, reality hit me like a silver bullet. My happiness evaporated instantly. I woke alone in bed, jumping up to search the room, desperately hoping she was just in the bathroom or the kitchen, but instead found a note on my nightstand.

I picked it up with trembling hands,she was gone.

[Dear Draven,

Last night was perfect. Our bodies fit together in ways I never imagined possible. Unfortunately for you, you still lost our little game, and you haven’t won back my heart. I will always love you, but I cannot forgive how you hurt me. So I must leave you again.

Caroline]

She’d even drawn a little smiley face on the note. Impossible woman! My eyes burned with tears I couldn’t hold back. So she’d fucked me last night, then left nothing but a note before running away? How could she torture me like this?

Alaric howled in pain inside me. She had left me, turned me down again. The words in her note cut deep, and for a moment stole every hope I had of winning her back.

I read and reread that note several times, and just when I was about to give in to despair, my eyes fixed on that small part where she said she would always love me. That was what I would hold onto. I would never give up on her,I couldn’t. I wouldn’t allow it; it was impossible.

Since she loved me, she would forgive me eventually, no matter how long it took or what hell I had to go through.

I reached out through the mind-link to Ryan,"Ryan, I need you."

His response came instantly, annoyingly cheerful"What’s up, Alpha? Good night?"

"It was incredible and she left without forgiving me. I need your help."I growled.

"Want me to gather our friends?"

"Yes. Get Joseph, Luke, and Nate. Storm Valley Club in an hour."

"Of course, Alpha. Your command, our duty. We’ll be there."

I broke the mind-link and headed for the shower, trying to wash away our sex scent. I was about to start my mission to win back her forgiveness.

An hour later, I arrived at the Storm Valley Club where my friends were already seated, waiting for me. The exclusive werewolf establishment was quiet at this hour, perfect for pack business.

"I hope I didn’t mess up anyone’s plans," I said while greeting them, my Alpha energy somewhat subdued by my misery.

"Relax, Caroline beat you to it," Nate said with a knowing smile.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"She woke Elle up and said she needed to gather the girls urgently. According to Elle, they were going to have lunch somewhere and support Carrie. I don’t get it, you two left the bar together last night," Nate said, looking confused.

"Elle called Kyle too. She told me the same thing and rushed out. Right when I was about to get the whip..." Luke said with dreamy eyes.

"We don’t need details about your sex, Luke," Ryan said, making everyone burst into laughter. "And you, Joseph, aren’t you going to complain that Ava ran out too?"
