Unscentable

Chapter 17 - Unscentable

Piper POV

Piper heard the male Canadian accent in the store, and felt Harper bristle inside of her mind right away. Heard him state his name was Timothy Avery and that he wanted to see Piper Harper.

She got up from her desk as quietly as possible and headed for the back door, was about to step out of the building when she heard him, sounded fully amused to her ear at that “Tell Piper, not to leave, my men are out back.”

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. “It’s amazing, you’ve gotten so well recognised in the human world, yet stayed hidden from your own kind for so very long.”

“Is 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.
