Bradley POV

His eyes landed on Piper’s car as it pulled up. Cooper had told him that she owned a Red Nissan Rogue. Both he and Cooper stepped behind their rental car and out of sight. They didn’t want her to spot them, his eyes fell on the man inside the car, couldn’t see him clearly with the sun hitting the windshield
and causing glare.

When she got out of her SUV she did not look happy. The man also got out, Bradley used his wolfs hearing to pick up her words, “Stay here, I don’t need Brandon freaking out.” watched the rather large man lean on her car and watch her, turned his sight to Piper, heard the conversation she had with the woman at the door. Not her boyfriend. Felt actual relief at that.

‘He’s a wolf.’ Coop told him via the mind-link. While Bradley was focused on Piper, his Beta was focused on the man, it seemed, his eyes moved back to him.

‘An Alpha Wolf,’ Bradley confirmed as he breathed in deeply, using all Benson’s senses to pick up what Rank he was, account for the size of the man. What he was doing here with her, leaning so casually on her car, the man looked very comfortable. She had not though.

From her comment it was likely that Brandon would also know this man, and wasn’t going to like him being there either. Saw the boy's facial expression at the sight of that man by their car and actually smiled. His boy did not like the man, it was clear.

Had to watch that man touch his son’s head, “Good to see you son.” those words ripped a very large and aggressive growl right out of his wolf Benson, he was not about to contain it. There was another Alpha laying claim to his child, not something he or Benson were at all happy about. Cooper's hand on his shoulder, a firm grip, saw with satisfaction as Brandon pulled himself away from that Alpha wolf.

A good boy, knew that man was not his father.

Saw both Piper and the Alpha’s head whip around to see where it had come from, and Bradley’s eyes widened as he recognised that Alpha they were allied packs ‘Alpha Timothy Avery, of the Ice Moon Pack.’ He told Cooper via the mind-link, though it was likely his Beta also recognised the man ‘Her mother’s home pack’s Alpha.’

‘Perhaps your father got a hold of him?’

‘Maybe, but they definitely know him.’

‘Brandon, doesn’t like him, that’s for sure,’ Coop agreed.

Saw her get in the car while Alpha Timothy searched the area ‘Idiot she’ll run.’ Bradley thought. It was clear to him that Piper didn’t want him around.

Watched her start that car of hers and just speed away, shook his head, how did Alpha Timothy not see that coming, even he had.

Saw the man just stand there and watch her drive away, shake his head, didn’t seem all that concerned “Is that you Alpha Bradley?” he called out as he reached into his top jacket pocked and pulled out his phone.

Bradley frowned, likely his father had gotten a call in, he and Cooper moved into the man’s line of sight, he strolled towards them while talking to who Bradley presumed was his Beta, informed them to be on the look out for her she had driven away while he was distracted.

Ended the call and looked right at him “Alpha Bradley, that could have gone much better if you had not interfered. I had her, now…” he waved a hand down the street. “gone.”

“What do you mean? You had her.”

“Your father called. She’s actually my cousin and I was...had managed to pull her in.”

“Didn’t look happy about it,” Bradley commented, and she had not and, by the speeding away didn’t want to be pulled in as he stated.

“Hm, she’s wilful, I had to threaten her to get my way. Like I did the first time I came across her.”
