Unscentable

Chapter 7 - Unscentable

Bradley POV

Bradley was standing inside Piper Harper’s store ‘Goddess Gowns.’ He wondered if she’d named the store after their moon goddess, or if it was one of the human world things, where women were promoting themselves and being encouraged to believe they were goddess’s themselves and should be treated as such.

He knew the human world could be very cruel and savage just like the wolfen world could. Although once Mated off she-wolve's were generally treated as precious by their Mates, not often did one suffer abuse after Marking and Mating, it did happen occasionally, but nowhere as often as in the human
world.

Unlike in the human world, where men would beat their wives, abuse and demoralise them, killing them even, cheat profusely, the wolfen world was much nicer to their females. Bradley was curious about the stores name, but mostly he was curious about why she was out here alone and with her scent
masked.

He stood staring at Izzy who was wearing a tag that read Assistant Manager. She was about 5 foot 7, had blonde shoulder-length hair, that had been straitened and was tucked back behind one ear. Her lips were set in a thin line as her dark brown eyes glared right at him. She had already told him on the phone that Piper Harper was not there. And now had told him to his face that same statement.

She appeared more than annoyed by his presence in the store. The moment he had stepped inside the store and her eyes had fallen on him, she had frowned right at him, her smile and friendly demeanour had disappeared in an instant. There were two other women currently working in the store as well and both of them had smiled right at him.

There were four different bridal parties in the store right this minute as well, with brides trying on dresses, he’d pulled her away from her actual job and this Izzy was showing him just how unhappy she was with him about it.

Though he had gotten smiles from the other employees and most of the blushing brides and their family and friends with them, they were all human and his good looks drew their undivided attention. He however, was not interested in any of them. No human girl had ever drawn his attention.

There was nothing in this store that interested him, well, nothing but finding Piper Harper, that was, who for all intensive purposes passed herself off as a human instead of a she-wolf. A lone she-wolf out here in the middle of the human world at that.

They could not find a pack affiliation to her company anywhere, and all werewolves did have one. It was the wolfen law. That all pack companies, or businesses in the human world, no matter how big or how small, were registered. So he was curious about that as well. Usually there was a tiny wolfen pack crest on the company logo that indicated a wolfen store.

But not this store, not on the website either. And none of the staff wore a pack pin, from what he recalled yesterday neither had Piper Harper, which was very odd; a pack pin was usually required. He was curious about that as well.

Bradley knew she was a wolf, had gotten that from the low growl she had emitted yesterday, aimed right at him, though that to now confused him, completely, why they had growled at him. He’d been angry and irritated but had not actually posed a physical threat to them. There was no call for it at all.

Yes he’d come in hot headed and ticked off, spoiling for a fight, though only a verbal one, not an actual physical fight, and had been taken aback by her reaction to him, completely surprised by the white wolf eyes that had suddenly peered back at him, though he had not initially realised they were wolfs eyes, not until that growl had come from her, then he’d known what she was.

If she had not growled right at him, he’d likely still not know what she was at all.

If, as Hadley said, she’d responded to him like a Mate and the more and more he thought about it, he had to agree with his little sister, she had. Though why her wolf would growl at him and Benson if they were her Mate, they did not understand that at all.
