Draven’s POV
After taking Caroline to Puma Global, I went back to Thorne Enterprises. My mind was full of our perfect weekend. She had finally accepted being mine, and her parents welcomed me into their family. Even with Marcus and Selina causing trouble, our time together was amazing.
She came back to me and said she loved me. Those words warmed my heart like nothing had in years. And Liam made everything perfect. My parents would have loved them both if they were still here.
Thinking about my parents hurt, especially now that I knew their accident might have been planned. Alpha Arthur was looking into everything, but waiting for answers made Alaric restless. He paced inside me, wanting justice.
In my office, I couldn’t stop thinking about Caroline refusing to work with me again. She would join my pack and become part of Storm Valley pack,but she wouldn’t come back to Thorne Enterprises. That wasn’t enough. I needed her close, needed to see her every day.
I called Ava to my office and closed the door behind her.
"Ava, you already know that Caroline and I are back together," I began, leaning against my desk. "But she’s refusing to come work with me again. Says it would remind her of all the bad things that happened here."
"Of course, Alpha," Ava replied, glancing at the leather couch. "She probably wouldn’t feel comfortable, especially with... that."
"If I changed everything in here, made it completely new, would that help?" I asked.
"Honestly? We should probably burn that couch," Ava smiled.
"Ava," I growled mildly, "focus on the whole picture, not just the couch."
She grinned. "Look, Alpha, changing everything is a good start. A new environment without those memories would help."
"Excellent. You’ll handle the renovation," I said.
"Me?" Ava looked surprised. "Why not hire an interior designer?"
"Because you have good taste and I trust you. Spend whatever you need. Find me another office on this floor, and put your desk near mine while this happens." I tapped my fingers on the desk. "How long will it take?"
"A week, since we need to repaint everything. I already have ideas," she said excitedly.
"Perfect. Go through my schedule, then I’ll clear out so you can start. I’ll work with Ryan until you set up my new space."
After checking my appointments, I grabbed my laptop and files. At reception, I gave Ava my office key.
