Unscentable

Chapter 62 - Unscentable

Piper POV 

The Luna Suite. Bradley had walked her and Brandon right to it, they'd taken the elevator to get up here, not something she'd ever done, always just walked the stairs, she knew where it was, had hated seeing the words on the door, had learned to not look at the door at all, pretty much just refused to acknowledge it existed after a while. It had just been another reminder of what she'd never be. 

He'd opened the door for her and Brandon, swiped a card over the lock, just like in a hotel she supposed, that was new, just had regular door handles the last time she'd been here with key holes. Must have upgraded everything. She did note the pack-house looked slightly different, more modern than before. Brad had replaced all the windows and flooring, and noted there were shutters outside. Likely to keep the winter cold out.He'd handed her the card, and smiled at her. She knew, as the Alpha, he would have his own, a master key to access every room in this building. There was no point in locking the door, it wouldn't keep him out. Though she was fairly certain he could likely lock her in if he so chose.He did not however, enter the room, just ushered her in and said to take their time and warm up, then stepped out and closed the door. She heard the lock click, shook her head. 

Turned and looked at the room. It was designed like a large hotel suite, she thought, with a deep plush-looking couch and matching arm chair. They were both in a cream suede material and they had green throw pillows on them. There was a fireplace with a large wall mounted TV above the mantle.Had a very nice ensuite, all white marble with a few decorative long narrow jewel green coloured tiles that ran down from the ceiling ranging from a quarter to half way down the walls, kind of brought to mind dangling vines, she thought absently as she filled the massive soaker tub for Brandon.He was sitting quietly waiting, he did seem a bit cold to her, but he did only have a towel on, had already peeled his wet clothes off, "It's like a small pool, mum." he commented.

 "Mm, it does." it could pass for a small plunge pool, she thought. 

"My bath is not even this big."

 "That it is not," Piper acknowledged, his bath was not even half the size of this one. And the one in her own ensuite back in Portland was not half the size of this either, though her bath was a luxury she'd given herself, the only one thing she allowed herself really.

 "Hop on in," she said when it was full.

 "I'll leave the door open, to listen for you." 

"Alright." he'd nodded and hopped in, the water level came right to his shoulders when he sat down, it was filled with bubbles "It's so deep."

 "No silly business," she commented.

 "But relax and be warm."

 "It's toastie warm already." he grinned up at her.She stepped out of the bathroom, leaving the door open all the way. He could swim, but still she would keep her ears tuned to him in there, make sure he was safe. 

Piper Walked herself over and sank down on that plush looking couch, it indeed was soft and lush to sit in, leaned back into it and looked at the rest of the room, only one large bed in here, up against the far wall, though she could see that a single bed had been brought in, and not just some trundle bed either, a proper single bed. Bradley's son would sleep comfortably, it seemed.She sighed to herself and knew why this room was a one-bedroom suite, most Alpha's would not have a Luna with a child already. So no need for other bedrooms. It was tailored to a single woman, not a single mother. Wondered if she could be moved out of this room and into another.There was not enough room in here for her and Brandon. As much as she loved him, she liked having a room to herself, her own quiet space.

 Otherwise, things felt crowded, shook it off and got up. She could only ask, though it might not go down so well.Walked into the closet and found all her clothes were not only neatly hung and folded but were all ironed and pressed, as were Brandon's for that matter. The weather here was cold, being so close to winter. And in this closet were clothes designed for the warm summer that had been approaching in Sydney. They had no winter wears here.Got out some pyjamas and laid them on his bed for him. It wasn't all that late, only just coming up on four in the afternoon, but she was not intending to go roaming about, was starting to feel tired already, probably should still be in the hospital, not fully recovered, she supposed. As for that family dinner offer, she had no intention of doing that today, was not at all ready to deal with that. Though it did appear Bradley seemed to understand that, hadn't pushed it and had said as much.
