Unscentable

Chapter 21 - Unscentable

Edward POV
Cooper had sent him a lot of information about the Jenkin’s family. Apparently, the young miss Izzy, was from a very wealthy family out in Maine, had grown up inside a large estate home. Had attended a private all girls school, gone to
university out there and attained a business degree, and then just up and left when she was 23 years old, moved clean across the country and that was when she had started working for Piper Harper, or there about anyway.

It was likely she was used to dealing with wealthy, arrogant and self-absorbed men, before she even got out to Portland. He was doing his own digging as to why she suddenly up and left. All of her sisters still lived out there in Maine.

It was a long flight and he had the time. Harry was stretched out dozing away. The lazy bugger had told him to research his own problem, but there had been a smirk on his face, he’d relished telling their mother that Eddie hadn’t been able to charm a human woman, that she’d gotten angry with him the minute he’d tried using his Gamma Charm on her, had gotten all ticked off and marched him out of the store where she worked.

His mother and father had been on him within minutes telling him the girl was likely his human Mate and that he needed to get his butt back out there to find out. He was 35 and un-mated, a great disappointment to them. Harry had a Mate, mated off the minute he was 18, in fact, to his high school sweetheart, a lucky bastard, already had produced 2 children for his mother to dote over.

Had moved into the Delta position due to the fact that there was no Delta in the Pack and Bradley had wanted one, had offered it to his little brother when he’d taken over. Eddie didn’t mind, no-one really did. Harry had been a little shocked, considering he had Gamma blood, but had accepted the position.

Now that man was of the same opinion his parents were, that this Izzy woman was his human Mate, he didn’t know. Yes, he couldn’t Charm her, and that
was a tell-tale sign, but it was not a full moon, so there was nothing he could do about it at this point. Just wait and see, the full moon wasn’t that far away, less than a week.

He did want another crack at her though. Perhaps he was just having an off day. It did happen and some were more resistant to him than others. Now that he knew of her background and her dealing with the self-assured men likely most of her life, it was possible that she was just one of those rare few who
could resist.

Guess he would find out soon enough. She was at her sister's wedding, perhaps she just needed to loosen up a bit, a drink or two before he tried to charm her again.

He was trying to find out all he could about her, to find that one thing that would help him to sweet talk her into giving up Pipers location, was actively hunting out why she had moved clear across the country away from her family when her degree was in business, and she had looked to be lining up to working for her father’s company. Something had happened and he was betting on it being a man. Nothing made women move a mile away from home than an ex that they didn’t want to ever see again. Shook his head that was exactly what Bradley was dealing with right this minute.

It took him awhile but he found it, a few photos of Izzy when she was younger. In Maine's society pages of old newspapers, she had longer hair but looked much the same, she was smiling, seemed happy, had a man standing with
her in those photos. His name was there along with hers, Phillip Mattews, the article stated the two had been dating for just over a year now and they were all waiting for an engagement announcement.

He searched but could not find any engagement announcement. Something had happened between the two of them. He was curious as to who called it off. Put the man’s name into the search bar and well, he was working for Izzy’s father, had been back then and still was now. That was interesting to Eddie. This was probably the reason she had moved far away and stayed away.

The man was currently dating a woman from another wealthy family, Katelyn Bateman. She did not do much, looked to be just waiting on getting a wealthy husband, had been with this Phillip guy now for a year, though she did have a degree in social science, what she did with it he had no idea.

They dressed up to suit the occasion they were about to gatecrash, knew there was no way of getting through the front gates of the estate. This wedding was large and would have a lot of wealthy important guests, a private function. So they parked their rental car and strolled on through the woods
and hopped up and over the 12 foot brick wall that surrounded the place.
