Chasing His Scentless Mate (Caroline) novel Chapter 97

Chapter 97: Chapter 97 Enjoy What You Stole

Caroline’s POV

I waited at the gate and got into the car before Draven could open my door.

"What’s wrong, sweetheart?" Draven asked with worry.

I shook my head. "My aunt showed up without warning. It wasn’t nice. I’ll tell you later. Don’t want to ruin our day." I forced a smile. "Good morning, guys."

Liam talked the whole way there, proudly telling Draven how he stuck his tongue out at the "mean lady." Everyone in the car laughed.

"That’s my boy," Draven said proudly.

When we got to Eleanor’s house, her mom Marla ran to hug me as soon as we went inside. Then she knelt down to Liam.

"There’s my favorite little wolf!" she said with open arms.

Liam ran to her arms. "Gramma Marla!" he squealed with joy while she picked him up and twirled him.

Alpha Gerald came to the big entrance hall. He nodded at Draven.

"Alpha Draven," he said formally, then smiled. "Welcome to our home."

The two Alphas did the traditional wolf greeting. You could feel their power in the room. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

After a huge lunch, Alpha Gerald stood up. "Alpha Draven, Nate, want to join me and Sebastian in my study? We have some pack stuff to talk about."

Sebastian, Eleanor’s brother and Blood Moon Pack’s new Alpha, nodded.

The men left, and we women went to the sunroom by the gardens.

"Now," Marla smiled,"tell me everything about Harbor Bay. And don’t skip anything about this Alpha of yours!"

Eleanor and I looked at each other and started telling the story, being careful what we said with Liam playing nearby. I told her about my job,my small apartment that I loved, and how Eleanor helped me in the new city.

"And Alpha Draven," Marla leaned in,"he really accepts Liam as his?"

"You should see them together," Eleanor said before I could. "They’re like real father and son. Draven loves them both so much."

"The Moon Goddess works in mysterious ways," Marla said softly, squeezing my hand. "Sometimes the path to happiness isn’t what we expect."

When the men came back, Eleanor had the servants pack her bags since we were heading back to Harbor Bay tonight.

After goodbyes, we went for ice cream with Liam. Eleanor and Nate came too.

"Mommy, ice cream?" Liam said excitedly, pointing at the cute shop as we parked.

"Of course, little wolf," Eleanor said, and Liam clapped happily.

Just as we ordered, I heard someone behind me.

"Well, if it isn’t the slut who got pregnant and doesn’t know who the father is. And look, the little bastard!"

I froze. But before I could turn, Draven stood up fast, his chair scraping the ground. The air got heavy with his Alpha power, making nearby werewolves shiver.

"Don’t ever talk about my mate and son that way," he growled angrily.

I turned to see Selina standing there, mouth open, with her two friends. They all looked shocked at Draven, his purple eyes glowing with fury.

Selina got over her shock quick and sneered. "You’re with her? Well, you should know she’s still chasing my husband! Yesterday she was begging Marcus to be with her, said she’d even be his mistress."

"Alpha, you should know how desperate Caroline is," one of Selina’s friends said sweetly, touching Draven’s arm. "I can tell you all about her... maybe over dinner?"

"Take your hand off me now." His voice made her jump back.

He looked at Selina with cold eyes. "You’re the one who betrayed Caroline in her bed. You’re the real slut with no honor. And your friends are just as desperate. Your husband lied because he cornered my mate at the store. Ask the manager who saw it all."

Nate had taken Liam inside for safety, while Eleanor stood by me, eyes angry.

"Who do you think you are talking to my wife like that?" Marcus showed up, stumbling and smelling like alcohol even from far away.

Draven laughed coldly. "I think you two deserve each other," he said, looking at them with disgust. "But since you asked, I’m Caroline’s mate and future husband. You should leave before I forget we’re in public."

Marcus looked at Draven, then at Liam through the window. "Wait, he’s the kid’s father," he slurred angrily. "You said you didn’t know who the father was, Caroline. Now you show up with this Alpha who looks just like the kid."

Quick as lightning, Draven grabbed Marcus’s shirt and lifted him up. "Don’t call my son that.Don’t talk to my family again. Don’t even look at my Caroline or my son."

"So you’re really his father?" Selina asked, sounding surprised and bitter.
