Unscentable

Chapter 10 - Unscentable

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.

“Yes,” she nodded “You’ll likely grow up to be big like them, you’ll need to learn…” sighed
“to fight, it is wolves nature to fight for dominance and control. Aspen is very young, but actively challenged a fully grown wolf today. Not a good thing, he could have accepted and if so, by law, wolfen law…” goddess,

she did not want to think about that at all.Saw Brandon look right at her, registered actual fear in his expression, he
knew or guessed, Piper pulled him into a hug and sighed “you have to try and control Aspen, it will be difficult due to what he is, but if you two can come to a mutual understanding it will be easier.”

“What is he?” she heard the worry in his voice.

“His type of wolf, I mean. Wolves don’t normally appear this early, not till...for your type of wolf 13 or so, most don’t get their wolves until 16, so Aspen is very early.”

“Is that a bad thing?” he asked.

“No! Not a bad thing, just a surprise is all.” She looked down at him and reassured him.

“We should go to that man. I don’t want us to get in trouble, mum.” he told her.

“Alright, we’ll talk more at home, okay.” she agreed, she too did not want to incur Alpha Timothy’s wrath. They arrived 15 minutes early to the room, written on the paper.
Alpha Timothy opened the door himself, smiled right at her and Brandon, all friendly like “Come on in.” even sounded happy to see her.
