Unscentable

Chapter 63 - Unscentable

Piper POV 

Piper woke up to a darkened room. She was feeling completely hollow to the point her stomach was actually aching right that minute. Heard Harper whining inside of her mind, could feel her pawing gently at the edges of her mind. They were starving hungry.

 She'd not eaten dinner, crashed out not long after Harper herself had. Now it was late, in the middle of the night.'Food.' Harper told her.'Agreed.' Piper answered that ache in her stomach was horrid.'Starving.' Harper piped up again.She turned her head as she sat up in the bed, could see Brandon was sleeping there in the bed next to hers. Even noticed he had his pyjamas on, looked about the room. There was no-one else in here, Brad must have put him to bed and actually left the room. She was thankful for that.Got out of the bed, they should have left something to eat for her, surely. 

 Turned the lamp by the couch on and looked around. No food still, not even snacks or fruit, sighed and shook her head. So much for that, she had told him there was no food in here. Thought Brad would have left something for her to eat. Clearly not.She was going to have to go and get something herself, though she did not want to leave Brandon alone in this room. What if he woke up? Would he get scared or panic that she wasn't in the room?Piper did not know the answer to her questions, 'Food, I'm hungry.' Harper huffed at her hesitation to leave the suite, and as if on cue, her stomach growled loudly at her, bit her lip. What to do? Food was a must. Harper had been healing her all day and was in need of energy right now. It was their hunger pains that had likely woken both of them. 

Was going to have to risk the trip to the pack-house kitchen. Well, at least she knew where it was, and at this late hour there would be no-one around either. Not that Harper seemed to care or be concerned at all right this minute about running into other wolves, her hunger was out weighing everything else.Stood at her bedroom door, as she opened it quietly, glanced back at Brandon to make sure it hadn't woken him, flicked the door lock to stay open so she could get back in, quietly, and then stepped out into the hall, the decision made to go and find food which they would bring back an eat in the room. Anything would do, just grab whatever she saw, regardless of what it was.There was no-one out in the corridor, the lights were off bar two one at each end of the hallway, Bradley clearly wasn't concerned about her running away or coming to any harm. Otherwise there would have been some sort of detail on her. 

Closed the door with a quiet click.Heard the sound of a door opening, she bit her lip. Perhaps she was being watched, turned in the direction she'd heard down the corridor to her left. Stood and stared at the sight of Hadley coming out of a door down there. Hadn't laid eyes on that girl since the day in the alleyway.Realised it was the Beta's suite she was coming out of, she was carrying a pair of shoes in one arm as she stepped right out of Cooper's room, looked to be sneaking out, in fact, her hair was messy and she was just wearing a teeshirt.Saw that girls head whip right around, her eyes wide, though she did not look directly at Piper, but at Bradley's room instead, and it dawned on Piper. 

She'd been told she smelled like Bradley, his scent was now hers. Hadley had smelled Bradley and that whip of her head was because the girl was sleeping with the Packs Beta and she thought her brother, the Alpha, had just busted her coming out of Coopers' room all dishevelled and likely smelled like him too.Piper just stood and watched, till that girl's eyes found her in the hallway. It didn't take long a few seconds, saw her bite her bottom lip. Piper had heard the comments about Hadley having a boyfriend, that the wolf himself was paranoid about the Alpha's reaction to her new boyfriend.Yes, it was very likely that Cooper was highly paranoid about Bradley finding this out, and he had good reason to be. 

He was doing his own Alpha's little sister. From recollection, she was just on 18 and Cooper was the same age as Bradley. Oh, the man had every right to be concerned about his Alpha finding out.Raised an eyebrow at the girl, but said nothing, saw Cooper a moment later step into the doorway of his room, still buttoning up his pants, looked right at her, frowned at her in fact. It was pretty clear that neither of them had been expecting anyone to be out here in the Alpha corridor at this hour.Watched with full curiosity as the two of them looked at each other, likely having a quick conversation via the mind-link as to what they were going to do about being caught. Then Hadley glanced at her and hurried off down the hall and disappeared down the omega stairs.Cooper was walking right towards her "Inside Piper."
