Chasing His Scentless Mate Chapter 12 What Did You Think of Alpha

Caroline’s POV

I collapsed into my chair in my office, my legs completely weak. I had sohow maintained my composure through that entire scene, though I still couldn’t believe how unpleasant Ella Howard had been. But what truly shook was his unexpected reaction.

When he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled against his chest, I felt his hard dick pressing against my back, instantly awakening both and Rory. His whispered command not to move sent heat straight to my core, leaving my pussy wet and throbbing—a sensation I hadn’t experienced since that unforgettable masquerade night.

And my Alpha boss, his massive erection grinding against ... Moon Goddess, how was I supposed to keep this job when just his touch made drip with need? The way his body responded to mine made it clear this situation was dangerous territory.

"Caroline, you’re in deep trouble!" I muttered to myself, feeling Rory’s agreent rumble through my chest.

I grabbed my phone and texted Elle about eting the Alpha.

"t my boss today."

"OMG! Is he as hot as everyone says? Did he fire you? Tell everything!" Elle replied instantly.

"He definitely didn’t fire . In fact, he had his hands all over . And yes, he’s incredibly hot."

"WHAT? You better spill all the details at dinner! Did you wear that sexy dress we bought?"

"Of course I did. And let’s just say it had quite an effect. I’ll tell you everything tonight."

I put my phone away as Linda walked into my office.

"Caroline, I’m so sorry! That spoiled princess always causes chaos. I hope you didn’t get in trouble with the Alpha because of ," Linda said, looking genuinely distressed.

Linda was our executive secretary, an attractive she-wolf in her thirties. With her tall, slim figure, professional brown bun, and serious black-frad glasses, she commanded respect at her desk by the elevators. She oversaw all comings and goings on our executive floor, which housed both the Alpha’s and Beta’s offices along with their assistants’ spaces. The floor also included various eting rooms and a beautiful rooftop garden terrace.

Linda was essentially the eyes and ears of Thorne Enterprises, knowing everything that happened within these walls.

"Don’t worry about it, Linda! Alpha Draven was furious with her, not us. She’s Mr. Howard’s daughter, isn’t she? The pack elder?"

"Yes, she is. Despite her father being both our financial director and a respected elder, she’s always lurking around here pursuing Alpha Draven, but he can’t stand her," Linda replied, her disapproval clear in her eyes.

"Has Mr. Howard been with the pack long?"

"Thirty years. He started before Alpha Draven took over, beginning as a financial assistant and working his way up to director under his father. His daughter and our Alpha grew up together, and she’s been obsessed with him since childhood, always showing up uninvited. Her father constantly promotes her as the perfect Luna. As a pack elder, he has significant influence." Linda lowered her voice, "After Alpha Draven’s parents died in that rogue attack, Mr. Howard started claiming it was both families’ wish for them to mate. But Alpha Draven absolutely hates that."

I smiled sympathetically. In wolf society, mate selection was sacred—not sothing to be forced or manipulated.

"Well, don’t worry, Linda. Alpha Draven wasn’t angry with us. Actually, he ordered security to ban her from both the building and pack territory."

Linda’s eyes lit up with delight as she returned to her desk, exclaiming, "Finally!"

Just then, Clara walked in with Ryan, both wearing broad smiles.

"Is it true?" Beta Ryan asked eagerly. "Did Alpha Draven really ban Ella from the building?" His face bead with pure joy.

I couldn’t help but laugh, nodding to answer his question. He let out a hearty laugh, and Clara joined in.

When they finally stopped laughing, she said to , "Caroline, darling, I heard you’ve already t your Alpha. And in quite an unconventional way." Oh Goddess, Ryan is such a gossip—he’s already told Clara everything through their mind-link.

I felt my face flush with embarrassnt, but I smiled at them and blurted out, "Beta Ryan, you could show so rcy," I groaned. "I thought I was going to die of embarrassnt. Clara, I still don’t know whether to laugh or cry about the whole thing."

Ryan’s eyes sparkled with amusent, his scent of pine and winter frost reflecting his playful mood.

"Trust , Caroline, Alpha Draven would never let that harpy anywhere near you," he said with a reassuring smile before turning to Clara with an exaggerated pout. "Clara, why did you give this lovely assistant to our Grumpy Alpha? I’m much more fun to work with than him."

I couldn’t help but laugh at his charming antics. Beta Ryan certainly knew how to lighten any situation.

"Because you’re a Casanova, dear. You hit on every she-wolf who crosses your path, and she wouldn’t last two days here. Caroline isn’t like the won you usually chase after; I hope you respect that and keep your distance," Clara replied affectionately but with a serious warning.

"I’ve already been warned by Alpha Draven that she’s off limits, so I’ll control myself and my wolf. But we can be friends," he replied with a smile and winked at . "But you’re very beautiful, Caroline—you’ll make many she-wolves around here jealous."

"Thank you, Beta Ryan, that’s very kind, but I hope not to have any more problems," I replied with a smile, fully aware that my lack of scent as an unmated she-wolf would likely protect from most jealousy issues.

"Please, call Ryan. Seriously, consider a good friend," he told sincerely. "Now, if you’ll excuse , I’m going to see how my Alpha is doing after you fell into his lap." I turned crimson with embarrassnt watching him walk toward Alpha’s office and enter without knocking—a privilege only the Beta would dare take.

Ryan was really a wonderful person: kind, polite, and very positive about life. One of those wolves who chard others and offered genuine support and friendship. I was happy thinking it would be very pleasant to work with him.

"So, Caroline, what did you think of Alpha Draven?" Clara asked, full of curiosity.

"Oh, Clara, despite the incident that really infuriated him, he was very courteous. I think we won’t have any problems." Pure lie! I was in trouble; that man was indecently handso and seductive, and even unintentionally had already awakened both and my wolf Rory.

"I know that. I want to know what you thought of him, the man. He’s gorgeous, isn’t he?" Clara said with a widening smile. I felt my cheeks burning. "Ah, no use denying it—you were impressed by him."

"Yes, Clara, I wasn’t expecting my Alpha to be so young and handso. And he has the sa eye color as Liam," I said as if thinking aloud, instantly regretting ntioning my son’s distinctive feature.

"What do you an?" Clara asked, intrigued.

"Well, Clara, my son has violet eyes—the sa color as Alpha Thorne’s eyes. They’re beautiful and very rare," I said, looking at her and trying to keep my voice casual while my heart hamred in my chest.

"Yes, they are. I’ve only known Alpha Draven and his father to have eyes that color in our pack lineage. Now I’m curious to et your son. Who did he inherit his eye color from?" She seed sowhat surprised.

"He has the sa eyes as his father—a deep and beautiful violet. Oh, co have dinner with us tonight. Elle really wants to et you, and my Liam is such a sweetheart," I said cheerfully, quickly changing the subject.

During my hiring process, I had inford Clara about being a single mother to a two-year-old son.

"I accept. I’d love to et Liam and Elle. We’ve talked about them so much that I feel like I already know them. It’s settled! Now I’m going into that room to see Draven. This young Alpha is like a son to ; I even changed his diapers when I was just a young she-wolf myself," she said with affectionate eyes and entered my Alpha’s office.

I picked up my phone again to let Elle know that Clara would be joining us for dinner. But first, I saw her ssage, "OMG! Girl, I’m so curious. I want to know all the details about the hot Alpha!" I smiled and sent her a ssage confirming that I would tell her everything.

The phone on my desk rang. Alpha Draven wanted in his office. I grabbed my tablet, and when I entered, I froze. His smile was devastating, lighting up those stunning violet eyes. I was in serious trouble; he looked even more handso when he smiled. Rory whined appreciatively inside . His smile widened, as if he knew exactly what effect it had on both and my wolf.

"Miss Caroline, co in and close the door. Ryan has quite the story about our troubleso visitor." He gestured to the chair before his desk, his powerful cedarwood and musky scent filling my senses.

Ryan enthusiastically acted out Ella’s dramatic exit, complete with foot-stomping tantrums and threats. His impression of her voice and mannerisms had us all laughing. Then his tone turned serious.

"But we need to be careful. That crazy she-wolf swore she’d get your assistant fired." He turned to . "Caroline, watch out for both Ella and her father. They’re vindictive, almost like rogues. Don’t trust them."

I tensed at the warning, but Alpha Draven’s response left breathless.

"Don’t worry, Ryan. I’m the only one allowed to handle Caroline from now on," he said, his intense gaze fixed on . His wolf Alaric’s dominance flooded the room, making flush with heat and sothing else entirely. Working with this Alpha would definitely test my self-control.

Ryan, ever the troublemaker, grinned at my obvious discomfort. "Caroline, looks like our Alpha has special plans for you!"

Alpha Draven’s violet eyes sparkled with mischief. "Perhaps I need so calming herb tea." His seductive wink made it clear his wolf was interested in mine.

Seeing my deepening blush, Clara intervened. "Boys, don’t make Caroline quit. I’m heading to the London pack soon and I won’t be finding you another assistant, Draven!"

"Alright, Clara," Alpha Draven conceded, though his eyes still held mine.

"Let’s discuss Caroline’s new responsibilities and compensation package. With your promotion, her role will be expanding significantly."

Rory practically purred inside as Draven continued to hold my gaze, making flush all over again.
