Draven’s POV
I was pacing back and forth in the room when one of the enforcent officers called , saying the lead enforcer searching for Caroline wanted to speak with . My heart raced in my chest. I swallowed hard and picked up the phone.
"Alpha Draven," I greeted, waiting for the news.
"Just a mont.Here, make yourself comfortable." The enforcer spoke to soone and then left the video fra. At that mont, Caroline’s image appeared.
"Carrie!" I exclaid. "Are you okay?"
I called over my shoulder, "Everyone, she’s been found!" The pack mbers in the room erupted in shouts and howls of relief.
"I’m fine, Draven, I’m sorry, but... my son, have they found my son?" She was crying, her eyes wild with fear.
"Sweetheart, Liam was found in Maplewood. He’s doing well and flying here. Teresa is coming with him." I could see her expression soften as she heard what I was saying, relief washing over her beautiful face.
"Thank the Moon Goddess! Draven, what wonderful news." She began to cry.
"Carrie, calm down. Everything is okay now. Let speak with the enforcer ." Caroline handed the phone to the man beside her."Thank you so much. Are you bringing her to Harbor Bay?"
"Yes, Alpha Draven.As I explained to her,we’ll stop at the pack doctor’s clinic for examinations and take her back."
"Does all this have to be done today? She’s carrying my pup."
"Given that information, Alpha, I’ll take her directly to the doctor."
"Excellent, I appreciate it."
"Your mate will be with you in a maximum of four hours."
"That long?" I growled, my wolf Alaric growing restless.
"Alpha Draven, we’re almost two hundred kiloters from Harbor Bay, and we still need to go to the doctor. But feel free to mind-link if anything cos up."
"Very well."
"Oh, Alpha. We’ve detained the brothers Dennis and Daniel."
"Good. Now all that’s left is hunting down that traitor Howard."
I ended the call, relief flooding through knowing my mate and son were on their way ho. I mind-linked Carlos to inform everyone at the pack house.
"Draven, since Caroline and Liam have been found, I’ll reorganize things here in our command center," Eleanor approached with another strategy already mapped out. "I heard the enforcer say they still haven’t found Howard, so our priority now is to track him down."
"I agree, Elle. I spoke, letting my body fall onto the sofa and placing my face between my hands. "Can you continue coordinating this for now?Because until I have Caroline and Liam in my arms, my wolf won’t settle."
"Leave it to , Alpha-grump!" Eleanor poked my shoulder and teased .
"I actually kind of like you calling Alpha-grump," I smiled at her.
"I also like you calling a hellcat psychopath," She laughed. "We’re a great team taking care of Carrie and the pups."
"You can bet your wolf on that," I agreed.
"Let’s go, losers!" Eleanor walked towards the table to direct the enforcent team. "The traitor’s lackeys have been detained. Caroline and Liam are safe and on their way ho. Now we need to hunt down the mastermind himself. Co on, everybody search for Howard and his mate."
I got up and went to get so coffee. In the early morning, Enforcer Bonfim, who was bringing Caroline, inford through our pack link that she was already being examined by the doctor and wouldn’t take long to be with . Shortly after, Ryan ca up to and said that Jace Moreno had sent a ssage saying they had just landed. They were arriving!
I couldn’t go pick up Liam because I was waiting for Caroline. And I couldn’t find Caroline because I was waiting for Liam.
I was almost wearing a hole in the house floor from all the pacing when the elevator signaled and opened its doors. Caroline ca out and flew into my arms. I hugged her tightly, inhaling her scent deeply, and couldn’t hold back the rumble in my chest.
"Carrie, are you okay? Did they hurt you?Is our pup alright?" I had so many questions.
"I’m fine, the baby is fine, and no one hurt ," Caroline responded, clinging to , her face buried against my neck.
When we finally managed to break apart from our embrace, I turned to the enforcer who had accompanied her.
"Good morning, Alpha Draven. I’m Enforcer Bonfim. Sorry it took so long to bring Caroline back."
"Good morning, enforcer. What matters is that she’s finally here and safe," I replied, my hand never leaving Caroline’s waist.
"I heard my colleague from Maplewood did an excellent job with the help of a very distinguished woman," Bonfim had already been inford of everything.
"She’s fiercer than any warrior," I responded with a smile. "Enforcer, please make yourself comfortable, have so coffee or sothing to eat. I imagine you’re exhausted too." I pointed to the table with food that remained organized in the house.
"Thank you, Alpha, I never turn down coffee," Bonfim smiled. He was an older wolf near sixty and had an almost contagious serenity. "But I’d also like to speak with my team."
"Of course. Ava, please accompany the enforcer and get him so coffee and food," I said, watching Ava wipe away tears after hugging Caroline.
Nina also stood up from the table and rushed to hug her friend.
I hugged Caroline again, and the elevator opened once more. A tall man dressed in tactical gear stepped out, along with Teresa, who was holding my son. Liam was sleeping peacefully in the arms of the woman who had saved his little life. Caroline imdiately ran towards them. I couldn’t move. My body was starting to relax after the tension I’d experienced over the past two days with my family in danger.
"Alpha Draven," Nate’s father greeted with the elegance that was his family’s trademark.
Ryan pointed to a handso man and said, "Let introduce you.This is Jace Moreno."
"Jace,I owe you a debt of gratitude," I said.
"Not at all, Alpha Draven. I was just doing my duty to the packs, and that’s rewarding for . Besides, Ryan is a good friend."
I thanked him and offered him the customary guest rights of my territory, asking Ava to accompany them.
I walked towards Caroline and encircled both her and my sleeping son in my arms, then embraced Teresa and thanked her.
"Teresa, how can I thank you? What you did for us today, I’m at a loss for words. You saved my son," I was incredibly grateful to this woman.
"Alpha, I’m a mother. This little pup wins over everyone he ets." Teresa had an affectionate smile.
Eleanor and Nate walked over. Their eyes were wet with tears.
