Unscentable

Chapter 67 - Unscentable

Piper POV

 Piper sat quietly in the car for the ride back to the pack, though she had really enjoyed teasing Cooper, he'd not taken to it kindly at all. Not used to someone not doing what he wanted, she guessed, she saw his eyes on her in the review mirror more than once as they drove back.She was not going to out him and Hadley, had told him as much. But that didn't mean she wasn't going to not remind them or annoy them. It was a little pay back for the Beta, for when he'd tried to lord it over her and make her do as he pleased that first day, he'd come into her store.After the fifth look she'd wanted to snap at him, and yell about their relationship to Bradley, just to piss him off and get him in trouble at the same time. She didn't like the way he kept glaring at her. 

Could well imagine if she was a pack member he would have mind-linked to her about it. But he couldn't and appeared to be stewing over what had happened.Though if she was a pack member, would he have risked it? She'd be his Luna and that attitude of his back in the city? She could well punish him for disrespecting her. Brad had actually not liked the man's attitude and she'd not missed him rolling his aura at his Beta and pulling him into line.Though mostly she just found his ticked off mood funny, she was still a rogue and he couldn't order her around, might like to see him try it, might get more bite than bark than he was expecting. It is likely that Mark on her neck actually made her outrank him, even though she wasn't a pack member.Piper was actually glad when he pulled the car up inside the pack, got herself out and went round to get Brandon out before anyone could do it themselves. Was actually ready to go and be alone in her room with just her boy. That was the life she was used to. Her and Brandon living together. Izzy having dinner with them every other day, but on their own.Brandon was awake now and she held the door open for him to hop out, but as he did so she saw Aspen rise to the surface, felt the tension in the boy.

 He stepped right around her and a loud growl ripped right out of him, whipped her head around to see what had brought Aspen to the surface so aggressively, placed her hands on his shoulders as she saw Alpha Timothy striding towards them with purpose, coming from the pack-house.The man was looking right at her, she tried to step in front of Brandon only to find his small hand snap out and stop her. Trying to protect her from Alpha Timothy, it appeared. Bradley was suddenly next to the boy a hand on him as well.Izzy shot between Alpha Timothy and Aspen, then Piper realized it was Fade, not Izzy, as a low growl emitted from the woman herself."Shh, it's alright Aspen, calm down." Piper tried to settle him, the boy's hand was still on her and it was pushing at her, telling her not to get in front of him."Timothy, back away." It was Brad and he was all Alpha, she realized, heard it clear in his tone."Let it go Bradley." Alpha Timothy rolled his eyes "The boy has to get used to me at some point." He did not stop coming. "Piper, I need to talk to you." he practically demanded. 

The man didn't seem to understand, or perhaps care, about the situation he was creating.It was not Brandon, however, whose bones cracked as the first indication of a wolf shifting.Piper's eyes moved right to Izzy as she watched Fade start to rip right out of the woman. Heard the entire Alpha Unit swear and Eddie, who'd been standing not too far away, was suddenly right there next to his Mate, though there was no stopping the shift once it started, and surprisingly enough, it was exceptionally fast for a first shift.Cooper shot passed her, snatched Brandon right from her and Bradley's grip, and was moving away with the boy. He didn't want him near the fight that was about to begin, neither did she, saw him take Brandon to the other side of the car. Piper was torn, she didn't know if she should go with Brandon or stay there with Izzy and Fade.Brad stepped half in front of her, put a hand on her almost the same way Aspen had she realised, ready to protect her from the ensuing battle that appeared to be about to begin.Alpha Timothy came to a complete stand still at the shifting wolf before him.
