Chasing His Scentless Mate (Caroline) novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85: Chapter 85 Sing A Song For You

Caroline’s POV

The karaoke bar was totally packed when we got there.

Jax told the guy at the door our names, and he took us to a table close to the stage.

A waiter came over right away.We ordered some drinks. There was this couple on stage, singing "Someone Like You" really badly, but everyone was singing along and cheering them on.

The place was buzzing. Everyone was laughing, singing, dancing, clapping, and whistling. It felt like the best party ever. It was a cozy place, with the lights turned down low, making everything look kind of gold, and the band that played with the singers was really good.

We had barely sat down when Ruby signed up to sing and started bugging everyone else to do the same.

When she asked me, I said I needed a minute to think about it.

"Nope, Caroline, no way out. You’re singing tonight!" she said.

"Okay, Ruby, but give me a minute to pick a song," I answered, taking another drink.

The night was going great. Everyone was having a lot of fun, and Jax was really sweet and flirty. All the girls had already sung, and so had the guys. Jax said he was waiting for me before he’d go up. Ruby was a surprise. She was awesome, with a great voice and totally confident on stage.

I was having a blast until I heard someone start singing. Suddenly all the women were shouting "hot," "boyfriend material," and "come sing at my house!"

The voice was amazing. It was smooth, a little rough, and perfectly on key.

It was singing,"No quiero separarme de ti / Ni siquiera un momento / No quiero perder el tiempo / Tu sabes que te quiero a morir / Que no soy de aspavientos / Y que me gusta lento"

I looked toward the stage, and there was Draven. He had this powerful way about him that made everyone look at him. What were the chances he’d be here? Did he see us?

I got my answer when he came off the stage in the middle of the song. His bright purple eyes locked on mine. He walked straight to our table,grabbed me around the waist, and started dancing with me while he kept singing.

Everyone around us cheered and yelled things like "lucky girl," "perfect couple," and "that’s a real alpha move!"

Draven led me in the dance, moving with a strong confidence that didn’t give me a chance to say no. His big hands were warm and secure on my back. I was stuck in his arms, totally lost in the moment. For a second, my mind went blank. The only thing that mattered was being held by my alpha. I put my arms around his neck as we swayed back and forth.

My heart was beating fast, and I was breathing hard. His voice was so smooth and wonderful.

"Mine," Rory whispered to me, and I agreed.

I closed my eyes, letting myself dream about a future with him. When the song ended, I thought the magic would be over, but Draven held me even tighter. He put his face close to my neck, "Let’s get out of here. Come with me, Carrie."

His voice made me shiver. For a second, I almost gave in, ready to go anywhere with him. But then I remembered Jax and our friends. I couldn’t just leave them. Jax didn’t deserve that.

I pulled away from Draven as hard as I could and said, "No! I can’t just leave."

I went back to the table, my heart still pounding. I barely noticed that Draven was right behind me. When I got to our seats, I was shocked to see Ryan, Luke, Nate, and Joesph.

What were the odds? What were the chances we’d run into each other at the same place in a big city like this? I never would have thought they liked karaoke. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Jax stood up and held out the chair for me to sit.

"Draven. Were you following us?" Jax asked, sounding amused, but I could tell he was getting ready to fight.

"Get over yourself, Jax. You’re not worth my time. But you’re trying to take what’s mine," Draven used his Alpha voice. The room seemed to shrink around it.

"I wouldn’t bet on that," Jax replied.

"And can you ladies tell us why you’re hanging out with these guys?" Joesph asked, crossing his arms and staring at Ava.

"Honey, I don’t owe you any explanations!" Ava said with a flirty smile.

"But you’ve got some explaining to do, Kyle." Luke said to Kyle in a serious tone.

"Sweetie, I went out with friends to have fun. I told you that," Kyle answered, giving Luke a playful smile.
