Unscentable

Chapter 49 - Unscentable

    Bradley POV

Bradley was staring at his phone, he had sent that text message to Piper, in the small hope that she would actually agree to see him. He knew she'd been in his pack for years and he'd not scented her. It would never have been a nice feeling, but he wanted her to know that he wanted to try, that so did his wolf. They wanted to come face to face with her and try to scent her out.

 Wondered if she'd allow him to remove that pendant and see if that was all it would take, but at the same time did not want to either. What if he was as affected by her not wearing it as any other male out there, what if he to tried to hurt her if she wasn't wearing it? Sighed he needed bloody answers.

 He and Benson had no recollection of Piper being near them at all, all memories of her were gone from him, and all because wolves relied on their sense of smell to recall who other wolves were, it was just a natural thing for them, not something they ever focused on doing was their nature. 

Harry was in his room with the door closed, he'd picked up the phone call and practically purred down the line at his Mate, excused himself and retired to his room. Bradley had felt jealous of the man, their bond was so strong, even his wolf could be heard purring as he'd closed the door. All for his Mate. Been together as a couple for 19 years, mated for 16 of those years and still couldn't keep their hands off of each other.

 Cooper had excused himself about 10 minutes ago after receiving a text message. He had looked right at Brad and, for the first time ever, actually looked a little uncomfortable, as though he didn't want Brad to know who he was talking to. Then had stood up and excused himself, stated he needed to call home, on a private matter, and actually left the suite altogether, from Brads hearing he'd left the entire floor as well.Eddie, of course, was with Izzy, no real surprise there.

 So it was just Brad Prowling around inside his room and he had retired to his room and closed the door to text Piper. Now he was hoping that she would get back to him. 

He knew she was in her room, had asked Eddie as much a minute after he'd sent that text and he'd gotten back a 'Yes, in her room pacing around...Brandon is asleep already.'That did not really surprise him, though Piper had gone back to her suite this morning and crashed out after this morning's run, as had he for that matter. Brandon had not, he'd hung out with Izzy and Eddie all morning playing games on the PS5, and not napped at all. The boy had a long day and an emotionally draining afternoon.

 He was just 7 and was likely both physically and emotionally drained.Hearing that she was pacing around inside of her room could only mean that she had gotten his text and read it. That she was likely stressing about it, either didn't know what to do about it, or how to respond to it. There was also the chance that she was not going to do anything about it at all. 

Bradley and Benson at least wanted to try and smell her. Perhaps just knowing what she was to them, would help that. He had no idea if that would count or not. Had emailed Timothy about the Whitlock way of allowing their Mate to scent them, seeing that it was a full moon. But the man had yet to reply to him.He hated that time difference right now. It was the middle of the night over there in Canada, barely 3am in the Ice Moon Pack. Timothy was unlikely to get his email for several more hours. At least 3, perhaps even 4 if he headed off and went right to training first thing in the morning.

 Which is what Bradley would normally do. It's what most wolves normally did. He never really strolled into his office inside the pack until 8am, and would get to his office in Helen at about 10, so it could be a long wait. Didn't want to call and wake the man at this point.If Piper was not going to allow him to actually come face to face with her there was no need. However, if he could convince her, he'd put a call into Timothy right away, and would do it in front of Piper so she could hear the way it was done and see if she was up for it. He honestly didn't know if she would be. Likely still want more time, need it.
