Unscentable

Chapter 70 - Unscentable

Brad POV

 Bradley watched as Annabella and Piper came out of his office. Relief flooded through his entire body at Annabella's words "All is well." though from the impassive look he and Timothy alike got from Piper, he knew she was well and truly controlling her facial expression, just shook her head and then walked away. Couldn't read how she was actually feeling.Saw Timothy nod at him, the man himself seemed very relieved, they had known each other for a long time, before he was the Alpha even. They had helped each other out, done business together, seen their wolves go to each others packs after full moon mating balls.

 Neither one of them actually wanted to Duel the other, to the death. It was likely that neither of them even knew who would win against the other. They'd never fought against each other before, not even sparred against each other at this point.Bradley could feel the tension around him, and not just from his own father, but his entire Unit ease off. No-one wanted an Alpha Duel.'It's not over Brad.' Edward told him via the mind-link.Brad turned and frowned at the man, it was over, the conversation was done and all was well, there was not going to be a duel, everything was good.'Piper and Harper, may have looked fine. But they are not. Anger is welling off of them, they're mad about something.'Bradley sighed, he should have known that impassive look on Piper's face meant trouble was brewing.

 What exactly she was mad about he wasn't sure. She had been annoyed by the end of dinner, something there had set her off as well. Hadn't had the chance to find out what that had been either. From dinner straight to that meeting with Annabella.Though from the comments he'd gotten at dinner, about wolves' earnings being rolled into the packs funds to help make it more prosperous; though he had decreased the amount to just fifteen percent, a few years ago. The major pack companies that his father and brothers still ran, the law firm and the construction business earned well.

 The pack was happy and secure, he'd actually wanted to drop that percentage right down to nothing. But this father wouldn't actually allow him to do so, there were pack laws and wolfen laws that had to be strictly followed and all wolves within packs must contribute.Piper had earned herself one hell of a living outside of this pack, and that money was rightly hers and she wasn't willing to give it up, it seemed. Though once she actually became the Luna to the pack.Was Mated by him, things were likely going to have to change, she was not going to like that, and Brad was not going to bring it up at this point.

 Needed to keep her happy and calm still. Though from Eddie's words that wasn't happening tonight.It did not take long for Edward to bolt away from him and up the stairs, they were all still in the foyer when he shot off up to the stairs, at full wolf speed. Brad cursed under his breath. It had to be Piper, went after the man, found him standing right outside the Luna Suites door, practically leaning on the door, his eyes were closed, the suite Brad knew was sound proofed, the man was not listening, he was using all his Gamma ability to sense out what was going on in that room.Brad could see Izzy with Brandon, down the hallway near Eddie and her room. The boy was holding on tight to her hand and looked upset, 'in a rage' came an unknown female voice inside his mind.'Izzy?''Who else would it be?' She sounded annoyed.It shocked him to hear her inside his mind. She'd not been initiated into the pack, though Annabella did stated Fade could connect with anyone she so chose to, so he guessed Izzy could too.'About what exactly?' He had no actual idea.

 Walked towards her, he was not going to get past Eddie, no one was and if she was in a rage, it wasn't advisable either. Eddie would also know when it stopped.Brad could see that Brandon was also watching the door to their room. He didn't even attempt to reach out for Brad, didn't want his father, was happy enough with Izzy for support, it seemed. Got to sort this little pack of theirs out."She said she wanted to punch you in the face." Izzy looked right at him.He raised an eyebrow at her. "Why?""I don't know, stated you did nothing. Then..." she shrugged "Asked me to get Brandon out of the room. Harper was losing it."Brad frowned right at her, Harper was losing it? He did not know what to make of that.
