“Apparently it’s policy, I did have some of them ask about that, even tried to get around Izzy, by ringing the other stores, same response so it could well be the actual policy.”
“Or a new one.” Coop piped in “to keep you away Brad.”
It was possible “Actively boycotting the pack then.” Brad sighed.
“Seems that way.” Harry nodded.
Brad’s eyes moved to Eddie’s he’d been awfully quiet this whole time, he realised he’d not said one word since Renee had left “What’s wrong Eddie?” he asked the man, was watching him now.
“I kind of recognised her, Piper. At the store, well not her…just kind of.” he shook his head “I don’t know, its a bit hard to explain…” he thought about if a little more “I got this feeling from her, almost like I’d felt her before, familiar I guess you could say.”
“What? Why didn’t you say anything?”
“I couldn’t put my finger on it Brad. I did tell you once before, after she left I’d bad trouble with my gift for years, sensed what I thought was pain. But…you had no Mate and I did try, I’m telling you, I couldn’t find the one in pain, when I hunted, though mostly it was when we were away…would you have believed me at the time, if I told you I thought your sleeping around was causing another pain.”
Bradley stared at him, it was unlikely he would have believed him, not having scented her out and all “Probably not.” he admitted.
“So what now?” Cooper asked.
“We try and get to her, I guess. This Piper she has 3 human world businesses, got to be at one of them right.” Bradley commented.
“That is likely, but she’ll smell wolves a mile away and if she keeps her scent masked all the time and we cant get a decent picture of her, it’s likely she’ll walk right passed our guys, she’s only like abot 5 foot 6, wearing heels when i saw her, and passes for human easily, doesn’t look like a ripped she-wolf, or not that I could tell with her suit on anyway.”
“So are we going with Piper Harper, is your missing Mate? Brad.” Harry asked, he’d been out of the room for all the details.
Bradley looked at him “Yes, she was a pack member, changed her name, here she would have been known as Piper Whitlock.”
“Whitlock, like as in Jewel Whitlock’s daughter?” Harry asked right away.
All eyes were on the man now.
Where was this man half an hour ago?
Piper POV
Piper sat with Brandon in their hotel suite, “Are you alright Brandon?” she finally got to ask him, too long after what had gone down out at the half pipe, thanks to that bloody Alpha, who’d not cared about the boy’s mental state at all. Just about getting what he wanted, just like all Alpha’s did.
Saw him nod his head. “Aspen apologised already.”
“Aspen, is that your wolf?” she asked.
Again Brandon nodded “He just wanted to protect you.”
“Alright, how do you feel though? It must have been weird, frightening even. You only found out what you were yesterday.”
Brandon shook his head. “Actually, Aspen’s been talking to me for a while now.”
“What?” Piper asked, completely shocked by this revelation. “How long is a while?”
“About 6 months now,” he shrugged.
“Why didn’t you say anything? You must have thought terrible, horrible things.”
“Not really.” he looked right at her “I’ve seen your eyes change colour a lot, and Aspen told me, he was my inner self, he’s seen Harper, told me we were just like you. That one day my eyes would be able to change too.”
“I’m so sorry Brandon, if I had known, I would have told you much sooner.”
“It’s alright. I understand why you didn’t. That man, that woman, they’re all mean. You’re not like them.”
“I can be Brandon,” she admitted honestly, “not to humans, but I am very much, mean, to my own kind. It’s hard to explain.”
“It’s alright, you don’t have to now.”
“Any questions you have, I will try to answer them honestly, but can they wait until we get home? Are away from this place.”
He nodded “Are they all wolves, all those people, the big men?” he asked her.
