Unscentable

Chapter 44 - Unscentable

Bradley POV

Bradley smiled when he received a text message from Eddie, damn near made his day. All it read was “Piper’s phone LOL, I’ll delete this.” How he managed it, Bradley did not know, but somehow Eddie had gotten hold of Piper's phone, unlocked it and sent him a message from it.

He was very curious about that. Would have to ask him at some point. He knew Piper was in a meeting, wondered if she'd put her bag down and the man had gone through it. Hmm, didn’t know if he liked that idea at all. But if that was the case, he could forgive him because now he had a way to call her,
text her and bug her into talking to him when he wanted to, about whatever he wanted to.

But better not just yet. She was still stand offish, might block him if he bugged her too much. Only use it when he needed to for now. But the curiosity was killing him. He texted Eddie on his own phone to find out.

“How’d you manage that?”

“Brandon and I were playing a game on her phone, she’s in her meeting.

Brandon went to the bathroom, told him it is not hygienic to take the phone in there. I’d hang on to it. A smiley emoji.”

“Well, thank you Eddie.”

“Remember that when we get to the pack, and you want to punish me for mating Izzy.”

Bradley shook his head. “Forgiven,” he replied. Couldn’t punish the man not now he’d gotten Pipers number for him.He wondered if Eddie was bonding to the boy. To all of them, Piper had not seemed phased by Eddie going with them this afternoon, apparently just rolled her eyes at Eddie.

Bradley had not wanted her to leave with Brandon, but with Eddie with her, he had to tell himself they would all be fine.
It was good for her to be with Eddie anyway, would give her time to get to know him and build some trust, especially considering the man was likely going to be sleeping in her hotel suite, and pretty much hanging out all the time with the three of them, because where Izzy went, Eddie was bound to go.

It also appeared that wherever Piper went, Izzy went as well, and of course, so did Brandon. The woman was not getting away from Eddie, unless Izzy went out with him for a meal or a movie, just the two of them that was. Eddie was not even giving his Mate room to breathe. Poor woman, hoped she liked clingy men. It certainly seemed that’s what Eddie was going to be.

Bradley left it alone and went back to answering emails from his business and pack related things, when he got one from his father about the moving van and if Bradley had gotten Piper to clear that up yet, so it could be collected.He sighed, no he had not. Was going to have to try and sort that out today, or at least broach the topic with her, see if she would be willing to assist him or not. Bradley honestly didn’t know if she would. Yes, she’d found out he was still her Mate, but had not so much as brought it up once. Not before their running challenge this morning or afterwards.

All he knew was that Piper had not been impressed by him trying to just up and move her back to the pack. At least he understood some of that now. Still knew she was likely to be against it at this point. She did know that they were still Mates, had felt it herself, had not uttered a rejection to him, or at least not yet anyway.

He was hoping that she would not at all. He had voiced himself that he had not accepted it back then, that he would not be accepting it now if she uttered it and he did mean that. It was not always easy to find your Goddess-Gifted Mate and when you did. You should cherish them, he would cherish her, if she would let him that was.He picked up his phone and dialled Piper's number, had already saved it to his phone, liked that it was in there. She was also actually the only Piper he knew. It was a pretty name. The call was rejected. He frowned at it, and then sighed Edward had not put his phone number into her phone.
