Unscentable

Chapter 36 - Unscentable

Piper POV

Heard a chair’s legs scrape back away from the table quite violently and turned to see it was Izzy, knew instantly what the problem was, pushed her own issues away. Edwards' eyes had moved to another during the meal. Izzy hated that, saw her angry and hurt expression. Though it was not directed at
Piper, she knew Piper would never hurt her like that.

This could really break her bond with Edward. The man's eyes moved right to Izzy as she stepped away from the table, slashed angrily right at Edwards' hand as it landed on her arm, to remove it from her skin, he would not be able to charm her, couldn’t use that gift on his own Mate, they were immune to it.

Saw her stalk away, saw real confusion in the man’s eyes, he didn’t even know what he had done, wouldn’t in all likelihood even be able to guess at it. He knew nothing about his human Mate. “Stay here,” she told Brandon softly, and got up, put her hand out to Edward as he also stood up and shook her head at him, then she hurried after Izzy, who’d actually not left the hotel suite,just banged right into Edwards room.

Walked right in there after her. “Izzy?”

“They're all the same you know!” she grated out, there were tears already filling her eyes, she was bonded to him already, her pain was very real right,this minute.

What she had seen, was just Edwards' natural instincts kicking in, but she couldn’t understand that, how could she explain this to her without telling her the whole truth, of what the man really was, what his actual job inside a pack was.

Piper sighed softly, walked right over to her and hugged her “It’s not like that,Izzy. I promise.”

“Yes it is, I heard it. How much concern just now, for you...I hate men.” she whispered “I thought he was going to be different, he...feels different and you…” a sob broke out of the woman.

“I didn’t lie to you Izzy. He wants no other, not ever.” she tried to reassure her friend “I know this, it’s just...complicated.” she hugged her tightly. Piper might not like wolves herself, but Izzy had the right to be happy.

“I don’t want complicated Piper...I just want one man, whose eyes never wander, why is it so hard to get.”

Piper knew that every single one of them out there would be using their wolf’s hearing to listen to this conversation, nothing private would be allowed, though it was probably a good idea that Eddie knew what was going on in here. He’d unwittingly hurt Izzy, had not meant to, did not even know what he’d done,
had looked very confused and not only that, he could not come in here and just charm her into calming down either and he knew it.

“I don’t know Izzy.” she sighed again, and she didn’t.

Her own Mate had never even known she existed, so she understood all too well the pain of the one you want, wanting another and right before your very eyes, had seen it herself, the way Brad had looked at Bianca, just like Izzy had when Phillip cheated on her, caught him in the act.

“He’s not ever going to cheat on you Izzy, it’s not in him...I didn’t lie about that.”

“I...I”

“I understand, it will all get explained to you, it will. Just complicated, Edwards job…” how did one do this? Piper pulled herself away and looked down at her.

“Sit, I’ll try to explain what I can, I’ll be a bit confusing, but will you listen?”

She saw Izzy nod her head, she likely wanted to hear anything at all to help her believe it wasn’t that Edward wanted someone else, needed to hear it. Her bond with Edward was already strong, it seemed, likely because she had been Mated by both Edward and his Wolf, likely she had Mated him right back at some point. Probably with his wolf this morning, but it could have been with both of them she didn’t know.
