Unscentable

Chapter 8 - Unscentable

Piper POV

Piper and Brandon were having breakfast in the hotel’s restaurant, as were many other wolves to her dissatisfaction. She however, did not pay them the slightest bit of attention, and they did not scent her as wolf, so left her alone as well. Well, most of them anyway.

Brandon was sitting looking about all curious now at those very large and imposing men around him, sitting at various tables, some of those tables had she-wolves at them, likely the next generation Alpha’s to their pack. It did seem to be an Alpha meeting place, there were a few Beta’s she could scent
out but most were Alpha’s and their Heir’s from what she could tell.

Piper had reminded him not to say anything or ask any questions out in public, only to bring it up inside their suite, or when they got home, to never say anything to his friends at school. He had agreed and nodded his head, but he did seem a little disappointed. Now sitting in this room he was definitely
curious about those around him.

“Excuse me,” Piper's eyes moved to the woman approaching her and she sighed internally, it was the same young girl from the other day that had approached her at the elevator. “You are Piper Harper, yes?” she asked. Why she asked Piper didn’t know, she had spoken with her already and knew the answer, or perhaps it was just that because she didn’t scent to the woman, she couldn’t hold on to the memory of who she was. Who knew?

“Yes.” she answered plainly.

“Mum,” Brandon whined instantly, “you said no work.”

“I’m not going to work, Brandon.” she told him. This would also inform the she-wolf now standing next to her table, that she was not here on business.

“I’m sorry to interrupt your breakfast. But I was just hoping to take a few minutes of your time.” the she-wolf piped in.

“I’m sorry miss. I am on holiday with my son. Please call one of my stores and make yourself an appointment.” Piper told her calmly.

“But you’re right here.” the woman was now frowning down at her, obviously used to getting what she wanted, being Alpha-blooded.

“Mum!” Brandon whined again at her.

She looked right at him, he was starting to get upset, “I’m sorry.” she told the she-wolf, stood up “Come on Brandon. Let's go.” watched him stand as well, she took his hand in hers and stepped around the she-wolf, only to have her grab her arm and halt her. She turned her eyes on the woman’s hand.

Bloody Alpha’s always thought that they could have whatever they wanted whenever they wanted it, didn’t care about anyone else’s lives, wants or needs. Selfish all of them. Looked right from that hand on her arm to the woman very pointedly, showing her dislike at being held up, still she didn’t let go.

“I’m turning 18 soon, and I wanted.”

Piper cut her clean off, wasn’t even 18 yet this was bloody ridiculous. “I don’t care.” she snapped and pulled her arm from the woman’s hand “It is very rude, to touch people, and even ruder to interrupt ones family holiday. Are you so self-absorbed, so high and mighty that you only care about yourself? It’s very selfish.”

Saw the she-wolf’s eyes go very wide, likely she’d never been spoken to like this, admonished for her behaviour. “I also told you the other day did I not? Find a husband before a dress. Are you so desperate for a man to touch you? Go pick one.” Piper waved her hand around the room, indicating to all the Alpha males and Beta’s in the room, who were now sitting and listening to her, she realised. The room had gone quiet. “I’m sure one of them will touch you if you ask.”

“You’re so mean.” the she-wolf gasped at her and then turned and stalked off hurriedly.

“Yes, she’s a real bitch.” Piper heard another state, didn’t even care to look to see who it was. She did not need nor want wolves in her life. Just turned and walked with Brandon out of the restaurant.
