Chapter 50 – Piper Harper and Alpha Bradley Novel

“Not a half bad idea.” Cooper laughed. “But I don’t do humans, Hadley.”

“Why not, a girl is a girl, we got all the same bits.” she stared right at Cooper as if making a point.

“Hadley enough, you’re not to talk like that.”

Bradley watched as she turned her eyes on him and then rolled them. “What can’t he take one for the team?

I’m dead certain the man has had plenty of women, and likely done this before. What’s one more notch in his belt?”

“Enough.” Bradley frowned at her. “Out, we are done here.”

“I’d take one for the team.” She shot at him as she stalked by him out of the room.

Bradley’s eyes widened now. What the hell was that?

Yes, he’d felt her all Alpha in that comment, but where had his sweet little sister gone? She was speaking words he’d never heard come from her mouth, let alone didn’t want to hear.

“We’ll wait on Eddie,” Bradley muttered and stood up.

“When did she get a potty mouth?” he asked Cooper.

Cooper laughed “that was clean, not potty mouthed, put it in the most politest way Il’ve ever heard, considering.” he looked right at Bradley “I have done that, and the way you put it ‘Coop go fvck that she-wolf till she tells you what we want.’ Hadley’s words were very polite.”

Bradley couldn’t argue about that, Cooper was right.

They left locking up behind them, returned to the hotel seeing as he’d not actual checked them out, there was nothing he could do at this point, sat with his laptop in front of him and logged into the pack-house’s database via remote access and checked for that alliance contract Timothy had mention to him that he might want to look up. Had been going to do it back at the pack, but seeing as they were not returning, this was the only other option to him.

Read through it, it did not just involve Piper but also her mother Jewel as well. It went right back to when she had found her Mate Talon. It stated she was never to have her pendant removed by anyone in the Pack ever.

That if she was to produce a child it would come to the lce Moon Pack, to speak with the Whitlock elders.

That any and all children would retain the Whitlock name, until such a time as their wolf emerged and if there were no white eyes, then the child could claim the father’s name. If the wolf’s eyes were white, it had to be reported to the lce Moon Pack. For bloodline linage to be documented.

It also stated that if Jewel or any daughter that she produced were injured or suffered death at the hands of the pack due to multiple males r****g either one of them, it would be all out war. Those male wolves involved would be slaughtered and the current Alpha ‘himself” was fully responsible for their deaths. That he would be Alpha Duelled to the death by the current lce Moon Pack Alpha or by one of the Whitlock elders themselves.

There was a picture of the pendant in the agreement to show what it looked like, not that he had seen it on Piper, a long pale blue pendulum type pendant. His father’s signature was on the bottom of the document.

Bradley sighed, something was definitely going on that he had no idea about. And bloody well should be considering the consequences fell right on his shoulders. His father had never put this document before him, never even mentioned it. He was more than annoyed. Turned it to Cooper for him to read. He’d not been wrong about that pendant.

Brad had not seen her pendant, though there was a chain around her neck, he could only presume from what his father had said, that Piper had likely collected it off of her mother’s dead body and now wore it, likely always had.

That document sounded as though if Jewel or Piper did not wear said pendant, the whole or a lot of the male wolves in his Pack would turn on them. The word r**e had been mentioned by Timothy and it was in that document as well. He really didn’t like where this was going.

Timothy himself had said that female Whitlock’s didn’t live long. He had actually sounded sad, in fact. Had also asked him how their child was conceived, told him to his face if Piper stated it was r**e he’d be Alpha duelling him to the death.

This did not bode well, something about Piper and her bloodline was putting her in danger, and she likely had absolutely no idea at all. That pendant was definitely a protective charm, and Bradley, right now, was praying she never took it off, clearly needed to keep it on to save her very life. Though he was damned sure right this minute, that it was also that pendant that hid her from him scenting her out as well. How were they supposed to sort this out? He couldn’t just remove it, that was for Sure.

Needed more information. Likely was going to have to take her right to Timothy and the Whitlock elders, not something she was going to be willing to do, from all accounts. She’d run from Timothy. Hadn’t run from Bradley though, just avoided him, interesting in itself.

Izzy POV

Izzy was dancing on the dance floor in their family home ballroom, at the family estate in Maine. Her sister Joanie, Iooked so very happy as she was being twirled around by her new husband, Mason. They’d met 2 years ago at one of Joanie’s friends engagement party and hit it off been together ever since. Mason had proposed a year after they met and were now married. Lucky girl just 24.

Izzy herself was still looking for Mr Right. She knew most of the people in this room, knew nearly all of the single men in there. None of them were her Mr Right.

Downed her 5th or 6th glass of champagne.

She was one of 6 children. She had 4 other sisters, as well as Joanie. One was already married, two were getting married within the next 12 months, and one was, like her, still hunting Mr Right. She had no brothers, still irked her father.

He was very old-fashioned, wanted to hand his business over to a son, a man to take over, not a woman.

Her sister Cordelia, the eldest, also single, had gotten her business degree and had worked along side their father for nearly 15 years now, was the next in line to take over, but their father was a very stubborn man, and was not going to relinquish control to her until she was married to someone he thought was suitable to hand the company to, not her, but her husband.

Cordelia worked damned hard to attain her status within the family company, had in fact worked her way up from the ground floor. Her father had shown her no favouritism, still didn’t in fact, was disappointed that she was not married to a suitable man of his choosing.

Cordelia at this point was out right refusing to bow down to his demand, and was more than capable of taking over and running the company.
