Chasing His Scentless Mate (Caroline) novel Chapter 8

Chapter 8: Chapter 8 The Alpha’s Coming Back Tomorrow?

Caroline’s POV

After work, Eleanor was waiting for me at the door, with Liam settled in his car seat in the back. We had planned to go to the mall to buy the things he would need for daycare. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Bestie! How was your first day? Tell me everything!" she said cheerfully, with a huge smile, her brown eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Elle, I think I’ll have to call your uncle and ask for my job back," I said somewhat sadly, Rory whining inside me with disappointment. Eleanor looked at me in shock.

"No way, Caroline! Did you manage to get fired on your first day? Tell me everything."

I smiled and told her everything. By the time she turned off the truck in the mall parking lot, she was laughing hysterically at my situation.

"Carrie, only you could get into an argument like that with the Alpha. You know he’s super young, right?!"

I looked at her like I’d just seen a unicorn and asked, "What do you mean, young?"

"Oh Carrie, didn’t you research your boss online? The mighty Alpha of Storm Valley Pack isn’t exactly low profile."

"No, Elle, I went on the company website and read everything, but there’s no photo or any reference to his age on the site."

"And you didn’t check social media?"

"Elle, I don’t have social media."

"Oh right. Well, let me tell you about your young, successful Alpha. They say he’s incredibly handsome, with countless she-wolves throwing themselves at him. But he still hasn’t chosen a Luna." She nudged me with her shoulder.

"What does that have to do with me?" I asked, confused. "Is his bad temper because he’s mateless?"

Eleanor laughed. "It has everything to do with you. As his assistant, you might have to fend off all his admirers. And besides..." she paused with a mischievous smile, "you’re so beautiful, if you became his Luna, you wouldn’t have to worry about getting fired."

I smacked her arm, my cheeks burning with embarrassment and anger. "Elle, I’m serious!"

While helping Liam out of his car seat, she chuckled, "Alright, alright. Don’t worry, Carrie. If you get fired, I’ll help you out until you find another job here."

We got into the mall. We bought everything Liam would need and took him to the toy store. I wanted to spoil my son a little and buy him a toy. He ran through the whole store but latched onto a building set and wouldn’t let go, so that’s what I was going to get. His little face lit up with such joy that Rory purred with contentment. Of course, Eleanor bought him a toy too.

As we walked through the mall, I stopped at a window display, staring at an absolutely gorgeous and extremely expensive dress. Eleanor noticed my eyes sparkling and said, "Come on, let’s go in."
