Stilled her hand on the door handle, he’d been actively listening for her with his Alpha Wolfs hearing. He might have been talking to Laura downstairs, but he knew that she would hear him, this was not what she needed right now.
Two bloody Alpha’s hunting her and both of them trying to force her into making dresses at that, why did Alpha wolves have little to no respect for others?
Looked out the door to her balcony and down the stairs, saw a man casually leaning on the stairs railing at the very bottom. He looked right up at her, smiled also seemed amused to her. Obviously, he’d been told she was likely going to leave, they were prepared for it.
She stepped back inside her office, she could hear Laura coming up the stairs and the foot fall behind her, walked back over and sat down at her desk once more.
There was no getting away. He’d stated his men, which meant nothing to Laura, but to Piper, she knew it meant his Alpha Unit was with him.
It was very unlikely that she would be able to get away from them. She’d only seen the one, but he had stood right where he could be seen on purpose. The other two could be anywhere for all she knew, out in the alley or just standing around blocking all the exits to her building. That was the likely position.
Watched as Laura came into her office “Sorry Piper, this gentleman, insists on seeing you.”
“It’s fine Laura, I’m nearly done for the day anyway,” she waved her out of the office, couldn’t blame the woman. It was not her fault. Turned her eyes on Alpha Timothy “Why are you here?” She asked bluntly as she watched him look about her office.
Touched a few of her framed photos, picked up one of her awards and smiled after he read it.
“You’ve done very well for yourself, Piper, I’m proud of you.”
Piper watched him put it back on the shelf, then undo the buttons on his suit jacket. A single-breasted, navy blue suit with a grey pinstripe, was tailored for him, had been made for him, she realised.
He sank down in the chair on the other side of her desk. He was still smiling. “t’s amazing, you’ve gotten so well recognised in the human world, yet stayed hidden from your own kind for so very long.”
“ls it?” she asked, not really caring for his opinion at all. It was not amazing to her, she’d never been recognised by her kind, so it was not amazing at all, it was just how her life had always been. As for the humans, they did see her, didn’t rely on their sense of smell to recall people, actually used their eyes to see people.
“For a rogue, yes…” he smirked right at her “Changed your name to fit in with the humans? Or changed your name to hide from your old pack?” he questioned her.
“I do not have to explain myself to you.” she stated flatly “What do you want?” she rephrased her original question.
“I should think that is obvious,” he stated simply. But did not elaborate. It, however, was not obvious to her, he’d not brought Celeste with him, so if he wanted her to make that dress, the girl should be with him for sizing and measurements to be taken. If he was here to threaten her, he’d not stated that yet. If he was here because he knew who she actually was, it could well be that he was an enemy of Bradley Drake, her former Alpha, and he’d picked up on Brandon’s bloodline.
“It could be one of many things. Black mail again?” she muttered “to force me into your pack. To tell me you’ve informed the Wolfen council of my illegal business’s. Or you could be here to hurt me and my son for that matter.”
“I would never hurt you or Brandon. It’s not my style young lady. I do, however, disapprove of you and your son being unaffiliated, so yes, I would like to bring you in.” he nodded, leaning back in his chair to just watch her.
“I’m not interested,” Piper told him honestly, and she was not. Pack life had not suited her at all, been damned painful in the end.
“You might not be, but you will be coming along.” He told her in his no-nonsense Alpha tone.
“Will l now?” she snorted, he couldn’t actually make her do anything, she didn’t belong to him or his pack.
You actually can’t make me.”
“No.” he admitted “l can’t.. but l can make your life very uncomfortable, till you fall into line”
“My entire life has been uncomfortable,” she shrugged. “You have no idea what my life was like before I left it behind. What I went through, or how much I can put up with being uncomfortable for that matter.”
“I can well imagine,” he sighed heavily, “To go rogue or one so young, and female. It must have been traumatic.”
“I’m not going back to Pack life. I don’t like wolves, I’m not one anymore, so just leave.” she snapped at him.
He was staring right at her now. She knew why. She had just insulted his kind and renounced them in the same breath, claimed she was no longer one, his pale blue eyes were boring into hers, a deep frown on his face, he’d not liked her words at all and she knew it.
“You are still one, and your son as well.. you can’t just declare not to be one of us, when it is who you are.”
“Can’t I?” even Harper rolled her eyes at that, she’d stopped emerging and showing herself when she was 20. They were now just two minds at this point.
“No you can’t,” he stated flatly.
“I beg to differ, I’ve lived as a human fora very long time and I intend to do so for the foreseeable future.” and she did, she had nothing to go back to.
Bradley did not and never would recognise her. Hell the man had even been granted a second chance, Mate.
Something Piper and Harper alike were hoping the Goddess who’d cursed them once, would see fit to spare them that. Once was enough, neither of them ever wanted to go through that pain again, not ever.
“Your not safe out here Piper. Neither is your son. He’s Alpha blooded, I can tell.”
