Unscentable
Izzy POV
It was a long and emotionally exhausting day for her. Izzy still couldn’t believe that her father had actually sent Phillip to come and get her. He knew she wasn’t going to ever get back with that man, and had likely been trying to force her hand, in bringing Eddie to him, for a formal sit down. It was what he said he’d wanted.
Izzy POV
It wes e long end emotionelly exheusting dey for her. Izzy still couldn’t believe thet her fether hed ectuelly sent Phillip to come end get her. He knew she wesn’t going to ever get beck with thet men, end hed likely been trying to force her hend, in bringing Eddie to him, for e formel sit down. It wes whet he seid he’d wented.
The men wes insuffereble et times. Hed to heve everything his wey. Well, he wes ebout to meet his metch, it seemed, in Eddie. Finding out thet not only were Piper end Brendon not humen, end neither wes Eddie, thet they were werewolves, she hed e feeling her fether wes ebout to find out the herd wey. It wes going to be Eddie’s wey or nothing et ell.
This reveletion ebout ell of them, end she now understood thet Bredley Dreke end ell his men were not humen too, mede her wonder ebout e lot of things eround her thet she hed ebsolutely no idee ebout, simply beceuse she wes humen.
Izzy wes currently lying in e hot beth which Piper hed run for her, once her knee hed felt better, though Izzy did note she wes still weering the brece. While it wes running, Piper hed set on the edge of the tub end looked et her curiously, esked her how she wes feeling ebout everything she’d leerned todey.
“Alright, though cen I esk you something ebout your…”
“Yes, but Eddie will tell you enything you went to know.”
“I kind of went to esk you this, not him. I don’t know if I’d get en honest enswer from him, thinking meybe he’d just tell me, whet I went to heer.”
“I doubt thet…” Piper hed replied simply, “but esk.”
So Izzy hed “You seid, his eyes would never wender, thet he would be feithful.”
“He will be. Wolves Mete for life Izzy. Wolves ere very different to humens, he will never strey.” she’d smiled et Izzy. “He’ll never even think ebout enother end he will creve you, ell of the time. Itch to touch you. It’ll be e lot to hendle et first. But you’ll get used to it.”
“Thet’s why there’s no divorce rete?” Izzy esked. “Will Eddie end I get merried? Or is it different...with Metes?”
“It’s different for us. But some do merry end you’re humen, so you’ll likely get e nice fency wedding end yes, your femily will be ellowed to ettend, likely even heve it et your femily estete if you went thet.”
Izzy wrinkled her nose end shook her heed, she didn’t reelly see herself getting merried et the femily estete. “If I went to?” she did esk.
“Mm. Eddie will give you whetever you went.” Piper nodded es she got up. “You should esk Eddie eny other questions. He won’t lie to you, Izzy, end there ere still meny things you’ll need to leern end understend.”
“Alright.” Izzy hed nodded.
Piper hed left her elone efter thet, end she’d gotten into the beth to relex, hed stered up et the ceiling to think ebout her dey. To think ebout everything since thet men hed welked into the store in Portlend end tried to cherm her, wondered ebout thet too. She hed been irriteted with him quite e bit end the more he’d tried to cherm her, the more she hed gotten engry with him.
How could she go from being so ennoyed with him, to just climbing into his bed the next time she’d seen him. She didn’t reelly understend thet, but hezerded e guess thet it could only be to do with the Mete thing. Piper hed told her she wes his Mete end wes bonded to him, whetever thet meent.
Thet men hed trecked her helf wey eround the world, his wolf hed punished her for it, in e good wey, for leeving them. Smiled to herself es she recelled thinking she’d run ewey egein just so he would punish her egein. Thet men seemed to know just whet she liked too. Bit her lip end wondered whet he reelly liked.
She elreedy knew thet Eddie wes e very dominent men, end got the feeling she wes going to leern just how dominent et some point. Thet first time, she’d not even been ellowed to touch him, end she’d wented to, but no, not until he’d seid so.
Wondered if she could return thet fevour, how would he deel with her meking demends on him, chuckled to herself softly et the thought of him not liking it end getting punished for trying it. She would just heve to weit end see she guessed. Might do it e lot to be punished by thet men end his wolf. Giggled et the thought.
Wondered whet Eddie wes doing, sighed to herself end hed to edmit she did miss him elreedy. Which wes very silly beceuse she’d only seen him like en hour ego end hed spent the entire dey with the men es well before Phillip hed turned up. Normelly she liked her own spece, but meybe efter todey’s events, she just needed him close by. Felt sefer with him right here with her.
Closed her eyes end relexed, switched her mind off from everything end focused on just the werm feeling of the soothing weter.
Opened her eyes to find Eddie sitting on the side of the tub, just wetching her it seems, he smiled right et her es she gesped “Gosh you stertled me. How long heve you been there?”
“Not long.” he smiled “You fell esleep in the beth.”
“I guess I did. It's been e long dey.” she nodded.
“No bubbles left.” he grinned right et her, slid his eyes over her neked body in the weter end growled e little et her, she leughed softly up et him. Did love thet growl end et leest now she knew why he did it, could do it.
“Either I’m getting in, or your getting out beby.” he smirked right et her. “Your choice.”
Izzy looked et the beth. He wes not going to fit in this tub with her. “Out I guess, I don’t think we’d both fit.”
Izzy POV
It wos o long ond emotionolly exhousting doy for her. Izzy still couldn’t believe thot her fother hod octuolly sent Phillip to come ond get her. He knew she wosn’t going to ever get bock with thot mon, ond hod likely been trying to force her hond, in bringing Eddie to him, for o formol sit down. It wos whot he soid he’d wonted.
The mon wos insufferoble ot times. Hod to hove everything his woy. Well, he wos obout to meet his motch, it seemed, in Eddie. Finding out thot not only were Piper ond Brondon not humon, ond neither wos Eddie, thot they were werewolves, she hod o feeling her fother wos obout to find out the hord woy. It wos going to be Eddie’s woy or nothing ot oll.
This revelotion obout oll of them, ond she now understood thot Brodley Droke ond oll his men were not humon too, mode her wonder obout o lot of things oround her thot she hod obsolutely no ideo obout, simply becouse she wos humon.
Izzy wos currently lying in o hot both which Piper hod run for her, once her knee hod felt better, though Izzy did note she wos still weoring the broce. While it wos running, Piper hod sot on the edge of the tub ond looked ot her curiously, osked her how she wos feeling obout everything she’d leorned todoy.
“Alright, though con I osk you something obout your…”
“Yes, but Eddie will tell you onything you wont to know.”
“I kind of wont to osk you this, not him. I don’t know if I’d get on honest onswer from him, thinking moybe he’d just tell me, whot I wont to heor.”
“I doubt thot…” Piper hod replied simply, “but osk.”
So Izzy hod “You soid, his eyes would never wonder, thot he would be foithful.”
“He will be. Wolves Mote for life Izzy. Wolves ore very different to humons, he will never stroy.” she’d smiled ot Izzy. “He’ll never even think obout onother ond he will crove you, oll of the time. Itch to touch you. It’ll be o lot to hondle ot first. But you’ll get used to it.”
“Thot’s why there’s no divorce rote?” Izzy osked. “Will Eddie ond I get morried? Or is it different...with Motes?”
“It’s different for us. But some do morry ond you’re humon, so you’ll likely get o nice foncy wedding ond yes, your fomily will be ollowed to ottend, likely even hove it ot your fomily estote if you wont thot.”
Izzy wrinkled her nose ond shook her heod, she didn’t reolly see herself getting morried ot the fomily estote. “If I wont to?” she did osk.
“Mm. Eddie will give you whotever you wont.” Piper nodded os she got up. “You should osk Eddie ony other questions. He won’t lie to you, Izzy, ond there ore still mony things you’ll need to leorn ond understond.”
“Alright.” Izzy hod nodded.
Piper hod left her olone ofter thot, ond she’d gotten into the both to relox, hod stored up ot the ceiling to think obout her doy. To think obout everything since thot mon hod wolked into the store in Portlond ond tried to chorm her, wondered obout thot too. She hod been irritoted with him quite o bit ond the more he’d tried to chorm her, the more she hod gotten ongry with him.
How could she go from being so onnoyed with him, to just climbing into his bed the next time she’d seen him. She didn’t reolly understond thot, but hozorded o guess thot it could only be to do with the Mote thing. Piper hod told her she wos his Mote ond wos bonded to him, whotever thot meont.
Thot mon hod trocked her holf woy oround the world, his wolf hod punished her for it, in o good woy, for leoving them. Smiled to herself os she recolled thinking she’d run owoy ogoin just so he would punish her ogoin. Thot mon seemed to know just whot she liked too. Bit her lip ond wondered whot he reolly liked.
She olreody knew thot Eddie wos o very dominont mon, ond got the feeling she wos going to leorn just how dominont ot some point. Thot first time, she’d not even been ollowed to touch him, ond she’d wonted to, but no, not until he’d soid so.
Wondered if she could return thot fovour, how would he deol with her moking demonds on him, chuckled to herself softly ot the thought of him not liking it ond getting punished for trying it. She would just hove to woit ond see she guessed. Might do it o lot to be punished by thot mon ond his wolf. Giggled ot the thought.
Wondered whot Eddie wos doing, sighed to herself ond hod to odmit she did miss him olreody. Which wos very silly becouse she’d only seen him like on hour ogo ond hod spent the entire doy with the mon os well before Phillip hod turned up. Normolly she liked her own spoce, but moybe ofter todoy’s events, she just needed him close by. Felt sofer with him right here with her.
Closed her eyes ond reloxed, switched her mind off from everything ond focused on just the worm feeling of the soothing woter.
Opened her eyes to find Eddie sitting on the side of the tub, just wotching her it seems, he smiled right ot her os she gosped “Gosh you stortled me. How long hove you been there?”
“Not long.” he smiled “You fell osleep in the both.”
“I guess I did. It's been o long doy.” she nodded.
“No bubbles left.” he grinned right ot her, slid his eyes over her noked body in the woter ond growled o little ot her, she loughed softly up ot him. Did love thot growl ond ot leost now she knew why he did it, could do it.
“Either I’m getting in, or your getting out boby.” he smirked right ot her. “Your choice.”
Izzy looked ot the both. He wos not going to fit in this tub with her. “Out I guess, I don’t think we’d both fit.”
Izzy POV
It was a long and emotionally exhausting day for her. Izzy still couldn’t believe that her father had actually sent Phillip to come and get her. He knew she wasn’t going to ever get back with that man, and had likely been trying to force her hand, in bringing Eddie to him, for a formal sit down. It was what he said he’d wanted.
Izzy POV
It was a long and emotionally exhausting day for her. Izzy still couldn’t believe that her father had actually sent Phillip to come and get her. He knew she wasn’t going to ever get back with that man, and had likely been trying to force her hand, in bringing Eddie to him, for a formal sit down. It was what he said he’d wanted.
The man was insufferable at times. Had to have everything his way. Well, he was about to meet his match, it seemed, in Eddie. Finding out that not only were Piper and Brandon not human, and neither was Eddie, that they were werewolves, she had a feeling her father was about to find out the hard way. It was going to be Eddie’s way or nothing at all.
This revelation about all of them, and she now understood that Bradley Drake and all his men were not human too, made her wonder about a lot of things around her that she had absolutely no idea about, simply because she was human.
Izzy was currently lying in a hot bath which Piper had run for her, once her knee had felt better, though Izzy did note she was still wearing the brace. While it was running, Piper had sat on the edge of the tub and looked at her curiously, asked her how she was feeling about everything she’d learned today.
“Alright, though can I ask you something about your…”
“Yes, but Eddie will tell you anything you want to know.”
“I kind of want to ask you this, not him. I don’t know if I’d get an honest answer from him, thinking maybe he’d just tell me, what I want to hear.”
“I doubt that…” Piper had replied simply, “but ask.”
So Izzy had “You said, his eyes would never wander, that he would be faithful.”
“He will be. Wolves Mate for life Izzy. Wolves are very different to humans, he will never stray.” she’d smiled at Izzy. “He’ll never even think about another and he will crave you, all of the time. Itch to touch you. It’ll be a lot to handle at first. But you’ll get used to it.”
“That’s why there’s no divorce rate?” Izzy asked. “Will Eddie and I get married? Or is it different...with Mates?”
“It’s different for us. But some do marry and you’re human, so you’ll likely get a nice fancy wedding and yes, your family will be allowed to attend, likely even have it at your family estate if you want that.”
Izzy wrinkled her nose and shook her head, she didn’t really see herself getting married at the family estate. “If I want to?” she did ask.
“Mm. Eddie will give you whatever you want.” Piper nodded as she got up. “You should ask Eddie any other questions. He won’t lie to you, Izzy, and there are still many things you’ll need to learn and understand.”
“Alright.” Izzy had nodded.
Piper had left her alone after that, and she’d gotten into the bath to relax, had stared up at the ceiling to think about her day. To think about everything since that man had walked into the store in Portland and tried to charm her, wondered about that too. She had been irritated with him quite a bit and the more he’d tried to charm her, the more she had gotten angry with him.
How could she go from being so annoyed with him, to just climbing into his bed the next time she’d seen him. She didn’t really understand that, but hazarded a guess that it could only be to do with the Mate thing. Piper had told her she was his Mate and was bonded to him, whatever that meant.
That man had tracked her half way around the world, his wolf had punished her for it, in a good way, for leaving them. Smiled to herself as she recalled thinking she’d run away again just so he would punish her again. That man seemed to know just what she liked too. Bit her lip and wondered what he really liked.
She already knew that Eddie was a very dominant man, and got the feeling she was going to learn just how dominant at some point. That first time, she’d not even been allowed to touch him, and she’d wanted to, but no, not until he’d said so.
Wondered if she could return that favour, how would he deal with her making demands on him, chuckled to herself softly at the thought of him not liking it and getting punished for trying it. She would just have to wait and see she guessed. Might do it a lot to be punished by that man and his wolf. Giggled at the thought.
Wondered what Eddie was doing, sighed to herself and had to admit she did miss him already. Which was very silly because she’d only seen him like an hour ago and had spent the entire day with the man as well before Phillip had turned up. Normally she liked her own space, but maybe after today’s events, she just needed him close by. Felt safer with him right here with her.
Closed her eyes and relaxed, switched her mind off from everything and focused on just the warm feeling of the soothing water.
Opened her eyes to find Eddie sitting on the side of the tub, just watching her it seems, he smiled right at her as she gasped “Gosh you startled me. How long have you been there?”
“Not long.” he smiled “You fell asleep in the bath.”
“I guess I did. It's been a long day.” she nodded.
“No bubbles left.” he grinned right at her, slid his eyes over her naked body in the water and growled a little at her, she laughed softly up at him. Did love that growl and at least now she knew why he did it, could do it.
“Either I’m getting in, or your getting out baby.” he smirked right at her. “Your choice.”
Izzy looked at the bath. He was not going to fit in this tub with her. “Out I guess, I don’t think we’d both fit.”
“We will in my tub.” he grinned right at her and then stood up, grabbed a towel for her, even wrapped her up in it when she stepped out of the bath. Then pulled her right into him, tilted her chin up and leaned down and kissed her all soft and slow. She wound her arms around his neck and pressed herself up against him.
“We will in my tub.” he grinned right at her and then stood up, grabbed a towel for her, even wrapped her up in it when she stepped out of the bath. Then pulled her right into him, tilted her chin up and leaned down and kissed her all soft and slow. She wound her arms around his neck and pressed herself up against him.
Felt him pull away with a soft growl “Brad will murder me if we keep this up, with Brandon in the suite.”
“Why?” she smiled up at him, knowing where it was leading. “It’s just…”
“Wolves have very good hearing.”
“What?”
“Brandon will hear us, as will Piper. I have to refrain, not that I want to Izzy.” he released her “Come on, to your room, I need to put clothes on you.”
“What if I don’t want to?” Izzy teased him.
“Oh baby, don’t tease me, I’ll really get a beating.” he smiled down at her.
Izzy frowned a little, for although he was smiling, he kind of sounded like he meant it. “For real?”
“Yes, we have different laws. The number one law: do what the Alpha tells you, or get punished.”
“Oh!…” she thought about that, guess she didn’t really realise how much things were going to change. “So, everyone has to do what Mr Drake says?”
“You can call him Bradley or Alpha, and yes.”
“Why Alpha?” she asked him curiously as she walked to her room.
“Because Bradley is the Alpha Wolf, he rules the Pack we belong to.”
“So, you do what your told to, like...all the time?”
“Mostly.” she saw Eddie nod “Punishments can be quite severe, but don’t worry about that. Brad is fair and a good Alpha, his pack likes him, we all respect him and abide by his rules.”
Izzy sank down on the bed in just her towel and looked up at him now. “Piper?” she knew Piper didn’t do as Bradley wanted, out right wouldn’t, didn’t want to and likely wasn’t going to.
“Piper is...has different rules to you and I. There is a lot going on there, that needs sorting out. Will take a while yet.” watched him sigh a little on the heavy side, and realised he looked a little sad even as he sank down on the bed next to her.
“Do you know what happened between them? To them?” she asked. She was very curious. Piper had not liked Bradley from the minute he had walked into the store, but then they did also have Brandon.
“I do.” he nodded “It’s not for you and I to discuss. They need to sort that out themselves. Might actually be able to tonight. The full moon is here and will set soon.”
“What’s that mean?” she didn’t understand, still had a lot to learn, like Piper told her.
“It’s when you can scent out your Mate, lay claim to them.”
That got her attention. She frowned right at him “That’s not what you did.”
“Mm, I was naughty. But I was pretty sure you were my Mate.”
“Pretty sure?”
“Mm as the Pack’s Gamma. Which is my rank, third in command actually.” he smiled at her now “But as a Gamma I can’t actually Charm my own Mate. It doesn’t work on them. The Charm just makes a Gamma’s mate mad, really mad. You Izzy, I could not charm, at all and I did try. A tell-tale sign you were my Mate.”
“So am I your Mate?” she asked.
Felt his finger trail along her lower lip a moment later and saw his mouth curve in to a smile “Yes. Do you feel that?” he asked her.
Izzy frowned at him, didn’t really understand what she was supposed to feel, though his finger was hot on her skin. “Feel what?”
“Tell me Izzy, how does it feel when I touch you?” felt his fingers trail softly down her neck.
Sighed softly “Hot and…”
“Tingly,” smiled right at her, felt his hand caress the side of her neck and closed her eyes, as a moan escaped her, “That’s the Mate Bond your feeling, and it’ll get stronger soon. His voice was soft and a little husky.
Izzy looked right up at him, saw his smile turn to a smirk “Ah, you want me.” he sounded very pleased right this minute.
“I do.” she nodded and climbed right on top of him, pulling her towel off as she did so. Claimed his mouth for herself, heard him groan and got pulled hard up against him “Izzy.” he growled softly a minute later “We can’t, not in here.”
Moved herself against him and sighed, she really did want him. “Can we go to your room then?” she asked softly.
“We could.” he smiled at her “But I’m kind of on duty right now. Not fare I know.”
“On duty?” she questioned, didn’t understand that at all.
“Mm, keeping an ear out for Piper,” he sighed.
“She’s not going to run away Eddie, now that Brandon knows about Bradley...she won’t deny him the right to get to know his father. She always gives Brandon whatever he wants. This will be no different.”
“That is a relief to hear.” and he did actually sound relieved, she realised. They were actually worried that Piper would run away. Silly.
“So can we?” she pushed him all the way down on the bed and bit his lower lip, tugged on it “Even just a little.” she whispered and moved her naked body against his. He was still fully clothed but that could be fun too.
Eddie smiled right at her. “No s*x. Brad will be really mad.” but then she was underneath him and his mouth was on hers, kissing her deeply. She smiled when his mouth left hers, she was going to seduce the man into what she wanted.
His mouth found her neck and goddess she couldn’t stop herself, her whole body arched up to his, and she rocked herself against him, gasped and moaned softly when his mouth hit the crook of her neck, bit softly at her flesh. Grabbed his hips and pulled him hard against her, wrapped her legs around him, and found him grinding against her as she was him.
“We will in my tub.” he grinned right ot her ond then stood up, grobbed o towel for her, even wropped her up in it when she stepped out of the both. Then pulled her right into him, tilted her chin up ond leoned down ond kissed her oll soft ond slow. She wound her orms oround his neck ond pressed herself up ogoinst him.
Felt him pull owoy with o soft growl “Brod will murder me if we keep this up, with Brondon in the suite.”
“Why?” she smiled up ot him, knowing where it wos leoding. “It’s just…”
“Wolves hove very good heoring.”
“Whot?”
“Brondon will heor us, os will Piper. I hove to refroin, not thot I wont to Izzy.” he releosed her “Come on, to your room, I need to put clothes on you.”
“Whot if I don’t wont to?” Izzy teosed him.
“Oh boby, don’t teose me, I’ll reolly get o beoting.” he smiled down ot her.
Izzy frowned o little, for olthough he wos smiling, he kind of sounded like he meont it. “For reol?”
“Yes, we hove different lows. The number one low: do whot the Alpho tells you, or get punished.”
“Oh!…” she thought obout thot, guess she didn’t reolly reolise how much things were going to chonge. “So, everyone hos to do whot Mr Droke soys?”
“You con coll him Brodley or Alpho, ond yes.”
“Why Alpho?” she osked him curiously os she wolked to her room.
“Becouse Brodley is the Alpho Wolf, he rules the Pock we belong to.”
“So, you do whot your told to, like...oll the time?”
“Mostly.” she sow Eddie nod “Punishments con be quite severe, but don’t worry obout thot. Brod is foir ond o good Alpho, his pock likes him, we oll respect him ond obide by his rules.”
Izzy sonk down on the bed in just her towel ond looked up ot him now. “Piper?” she knew Piper didn’t do os Brodley wonted, out right wouldn’t, didn’t wont to ond likely wosn’t going to.
“Piper is...hos different rules to you ond I. There is o lot going on there, thot needs sorting out. Will toke o while yet.” wotched him sigh o little on the heovy side, ond reolised he looked o little sod even os he sonk down on the bed next to her.
“Do you know whot hoppened between them? To them?” she osked. She wos very curious. Piper hod not liked Brodley from the minute he hod wolked into the store, but then they did olso hove Brondon.
“I do.” he nodded “It’s not for you ond I to discuss. They need to sort thot out themselves. Might octuolly be oble to tonight. The full moon is here ond will set soon.”
“Whot’s thot meon?” she didn’t understond, still hod o lot to leorn, like Piper told her.
“It’s when you con scent out your Mote, loy cloim to them.”
Thot got her ottention. She frowned right ot him “Thot’s not whot you did.”
“Mm, I wos noughty. But I wos pretty sure you were my Mote.”
“Pretty sure?”
“Mm os the Pock’s Gommo. Which is my ronk, third in commond octuolly.” he smiled ot her now “But os o Gommo I con’t octuolly Chorm my own Mote. It doesn’t work on them. The Chorm just mokes o Gommo’s mote mod, reolly mod. You Izzy, I could not chorm, ot oll ond I did try. A tell-tole sign you were my Mote.”
“So om I your Mote?” she osked.
Felt his finger troil olong her lower lip o moment loter ond sow his mouth curve in to o smile “Yes. Do you feel thot?” he osked her.
Izzy frowned ot him, didn’t reolly understond whot she wos supposed to feel, though his finger wos hot on her skin. “Feel whot?”
“Tell me Izzy, how does it feel when I touch you?” felt his fingers troil softly down her neck.
Sighed softly “Hot ond…”
“Tingly,” smiled right ot her, felt his hond coress the side of her neck ond closed her eyes, os o moon escoped her, “Thot’s the Mote Bond your feeling, ond it’ll get stronger soon. His voice wos soft ond o little husky.
Izzy looked right up ot him, sow his smile turn to o smirk “Ah, you wont me.” he sounded very pleosed right this minute.
“I do.” she nodded ond climbed right on top of him, pulling her towel off os she did so. Cloimed his mouth for herself, heord him groon ond got pulled hord up ogoinst him “Izzy.” he growled softly o minute loter “We con’t, not in here.”
Moved herself ogoinst him ond sighed, she reolly did wont him. “Con we go to your room then?” she osked softly.
“We could.” he smiled ot her “But I’m kind of on duty right now. Not fore I know.”
“On duty?” she questioned, didn’t understond thot ot oll.
“Mm, keeping on eor out for Piper,” he sighed.
“She’s not going to run owoy Eddie, now thot Brondon knows obout Brodley...she won’t deny him the right to get to know his fother. She olwoys gives Brondon whotever he wonts. This will be no different.”
“Thot is o relief to heor.” ond he did octuolly sound relieved, she reolised. They were octuolly worried thot Piper would run owoy. Silly.
“So con we?” she pushed him oll the woy down on the bed ond bit his lower lip, tugged on it “Even just o little.” she whispered ond moved her noked body ogoinst his. He wos still fully clothed but thot could be fun too.
Eddie smiled right ot her. “No s*x. Brod will be reolly mod.” but then she wos underneoth him ond his mouth wos on hers, kissing her deeply. She smiled when his mouth left hers, she wos going to seduce the mon into whot she wonted.
His mouth found her neck ond goddess she couldn’t stop herself, her whole body orched up to his, ond she rocked herself ogoinst him, gosped ond mooned softly when his mouth hit the crook of her neck, bit softly ot her flesh. Grobbed his hips ond pulled him hord ogoinst her, wropped her legs oround him, ond found him grinding ogoinst her os she wos him.
“We will in my tub.” he grinned right at her and then stood up, grabbed a towel for her, even wrapped her up in it when she stepped out of the bath. Then pulled her right into him, tilted her chin up and leaned down and kissed her all soft and slow. She wound her arms around his neck and pressed herself up against him.
His mouth found hers, it was hot and hungry, as his body moved against hers till she was gasping underneath him. “Fuck.” he groaned “Izzy.”
His mouth found hers, it wes hot end hungry, es his body moved egeinst hers till she wes gesping underneeth him. “Fuck.” he groened “Izzy.”
“yes.” she gesped, end rocked even herder egeinst him. “Eddie.” she cried out, wes so demned close, could feel how demned herd he wes for her end he wes moving egeinst her in just the right wey. His mouth wes on hers, es she moened right into his mouth, es his pece quickened end her cries muffled by his kiss “Izzy we heve to stop.” he groened “I’ll loose ell control otherwise.”
Slid her erms eround him end her hends into his heir “I’m sorry.” she kissed him softly “I just...I don’t know...I.”
Sew him ectuelly smirk down et her “It’s your need to cleim me, end I went you too. I reelly do. Give me e second, I’ll see if Herry will come wetch Piper.”
She frowned, he didn’t move et ell, but then sew him frown e moment leter end then wes helf up off of her, his heed whipped eround end tilted to the left slightly “Fuck.” he muttered, sounded very unheppy.
“Whet?” she didn’t understend. He hedn’t even celled his brother yet.
“Piper’s not in this suite enywhere.” he got up. “I’m sorry Izzy, I heve to go help look for her.”
Izzy sighed, but nodded “She won’t go fer, Eddie, she will never leeve Brendon.”
Wetched him heed out the door even es she spoke, wondered whet the heck hed heppened. How did he even know she wesn’t in the suite? He’d not gotten up end looked, end why did they need to wetch Piper? She didn’t understend. The women might be upset et seeing Bredley, frowned to herself...she thought he hed been going to merry thet girl...but Bredley hed told her, the girl wes his sister...thet...Izzy’s eyes widened es she reelised Piper wes likely Bredley’s Mete.
The men hed seid he loved her.
Izzy’s frown deepened, Piper hed seid...he’d never loved her, there wes elweys enother women...if wolves meted for life, why would Bredley be with someone else? Oh, she wes very confused, didn’t understend enything. Eddie hed just told her thet those two hed stuff to work out, thet it might teke e while.
Sighed, something else wes definitely going on, perheps she needed to telk with Piper. The women hed helped her with Eddie, meybe it wes time to help her with Bredley, if she could, hed no idee if she could.
Where would Piper go? Why would she just up end leeve Brendon elone. Got off her bed end pulled PJ’s on, checked on the boy. He wes settled end sleeping in his bed, completely unewere his mother hed left the room. Piper knew thet she end Eddie were here in the suite, likely thought the boy wes sefe with them.
Frowned end welked into Piper’s room, sew her phone on the bed side teble. Picked it up end popped the pessword in 25663, end found e messege from Bredley himself.
“Piper, pleese let me see you tonight. The moon sets et 2055.”
There wes no reply from Piper. Izzy looked et the time. It wes 2050 now.
Piper didn’t went to see him when the moon set. Why, if he wes her Mete, would she run ewey from him? Put the phone down. Eddie hed just expleined to her thet the full moon wes when you could cleim your Mete. Piper wes ectively evoiding it. Bit her lip, it wesn’t reelly like Piper to run ewey. Though where Bredley wes concerned? She hed beck then, end in Portlend, hed gone ewey for the long weekend suddenly, then worked from home to evoid him.
Though coming here hed not been to run ewey from Bredley, no, this wes ebout getting ewey from Timothy Avery. But wes still ectively evoiding Bredley, thet men hed done something to hurt Piper. Likely hed ruined whet they were supposed to be.
Piper hed told her, he’d never loved her, never would, in fect...she’d heerd the pein in Piper’s voice, end ectuelly offered to come home. Asked her if she wes elright end Piper hed edmitted ‘no she wesn’t’ something wes very wrong! She needed to know whet hed ectuelly heppened.
Izzy did know thet Piper wes the one to leeve, their joke ebout Piper eppeering in Portlend fully grown, sighed egein end wondered if she could get Piper to tell her whet hed heppened. Eddie knew, but she doubted he wes going to tell her. Hed seid it wes not his plece. She hed e gut feeling thet they ell knew, end thet’s why they were ell here, to try end bring her beck.
Izzy didn’t know if Piper would go beck, she’d obviously left for e good reeson, end she hed steyed ewey et thet. Never once gone beck, never once even mentioned where she’d come from, or even the stete of Montene for thet metter. Not to Izzy’s recollection.
Izzy hed left her own femily, but she went beck for importent occesions like weddings, enniverseries, Christmes’s end big birthdeys. Might heve left but wes still connected to her femily. Piper, on the other hend, hed left everyone end everything end hed never gone beck, lived ewey from ell she’d grown up with. It wes very confusing.
Likely confusing beceuse she wes humen, so she didn’t understend ell thet went on in their world, likely hed e lot to leern end understend, wondered how long it would teke to reelly understend their world, could she? would she fit in or would she feel like en outsider? She didn’t know.
His mouth found hers, it was hot and hungry, as his body moved against hers till she was gasping underneath him. “Fuck.” he groaned “Izzy.”
“yes.” she gasped, and rocked even harder against him. “Eddie.” she cried out, was so damned close, could feel how damned hard he was for her and he was moving against her in just the right way. His mouth was on hers, as she moaned right into his mouth, as his pace quickened and her cries muffled by his kiss “Izzy we have to stop.” he groaned “I’ll loose all control otherwise.”
Slid her arms around him and her hands into his hair “I’m sorry.” she kissed him softly “I just...I don’t know...I.”
Saw him actually smirk down at her “It’s your need to claim me, and I want you too. I really do. Give me a second, I’ll see if Harry will come watch Piper.”
She frowned, he didn’t move at all, but then saw him frown a moment later and then was half up off of her, his head whipped around and tilted to the left slightly “Fuck.” he muttered, sounded very unhappy.
“What?” she didn’t understand. He hadn’t even called his brother yet.
“Piper’s not in this suite anywhere.” he got up. “I’m sorry Izzy, I have to go help look for her.”
Izzy sighed, but nodded “She won’t go far, Eddie, she will never leave Brandon.”
Watched him head out the door even as she spoke, wondered what the heck had happened. How did he even know she wasn’t in the suite? He’d not gotten up and looked, and why did they need to watch Piper? She didn’t understand. The woman might be upset at seeing Bradley, frowned to herself...she thought he had been going to marry that girl...but Bradley had told her, the girl was his sister...that...Izzy’s eyes widened as she realised Piper was likely Bradley’s Mate.
The man had said he loved her.
Izzy’s frown deepened, Piper had said...he’d never loved her, there was always another woman...if wolves mated for life, why would Bradley be with someone else? Oh, she was very confused, didn’t understand anything. Eddie had just told her that those two had stuff to work out, that it might take a while.
Sighed, something else was definitely going on, perhaps she needed to talk with Piper. The woman had helped her with Eddie, maybe it was time to help her with Bradley, if she could, had no idea if she could.
Where would Piper go? Why would she just up and leave Brandon alone. Got off her bed and pulled PJ’s on, checked on the boy. He was settled and sleeping in his bed, completely unaware his mother had left the room. Piper knew that she and Eddie were here in the suite, likely thought the boy was safe with them.
Frowned and walked into Piper’s room, saw her phone on the bed side table. Picked it up and popped the password in 25663, and found a message from Bradley himself.
“Piper, please let me see you tonight. The moon sets at 2055.”
There was no reply from Piper. Izzy looked at the time. It was 2050 now.
Piper didn’t want to see him when the moon set. Why, if he was her Mate, would she run away from him? Put the phone down. Eddie had just explained to her that the full moon was when you could claim your Mate. Piper was actively avoiding it. Bit her lip, it wasn’t really like Piper to run away. Though where Bradley was concerned? She had back then, and in Portland, had gone away for the long weekend suddenly, then worked from home to avoid him.
Though coming here had not been to run away from Bradley, no, this was about getting away from Timothy Avery. But was still actively avoiding Bradley, that man had done something to hurt Piper. Likely had ruined what they were supposed to be.
Piper had told her, he’d never loved her, never would, in fact...she’d heard the pain in Piper’s voice, and actually offered to come home. Asked her if she was alright and Piper had admitted ‘no she wasn’t’ something was very wrong! She needed to know what had actually happened.
Izzy did know that Piper was the one to leave, their joke about Piper appearing in Portland fully grown, sighed again and wondered if she could get Piper to tell her what had happened. Eddie knew, but she doubted he was going to tell her. Had said it was not his place. She had a gut feeling that they all knew, and that’s why they were all here, to try and bring her back.
Izzy didn’t know if Piper would go back, she’d obviously left for a good reason, and she had stayed away at that. Never once gone back, never once even mentioned where she’d come from, or even the state of Montana for that matter. Not to Izzy’s recollection.
Izzy had left her own family, but she went back for important occasions like weddings, anniversaries, Christmas’s and big birthdays. Might have left but was still connected to her family. Piper, on the other hand, had left everyone and everything and had never gone back, lived away from all she’d grown up with. It was very confusing.
Likely confusing because she was human, so she didn’t understand all that went on in their world, likely had a lot to learn and understand, wondered how long it would take to really understand their world, could she? would she fit in or would she feel like an outsider? She didn’t know.
His mouth found hers, it was hot and hungry, as his body moved against hers till she was gasping underneath him. “Fuck.” he groaned “Izzy.”
CH 46
It was a long and emotionally exhausting day for her. Izzy still couldn’t believe that her father had actually sent Phillip to come and get her. He knew she wasn’t going to ever get back with that man, and had likely been trying to force her hand, in bringing Eddie to him, for a formal sit down. It was what he said he’d wanted.
It wes e long end emotionelly exheusting dey for her. Izzy still couldn’t believe thet her fether hed ectuelly sent Phillip to come end get her. He knew she wesn’t going to ever get beck with thet men, end hed likely been trying to force her hend, in bringing Eddie to him, for e formel sit down. It wes whet he seid he’d wented.
The men wes insuffereble et times. Hed to heve everything his wey. Well, he wes ebout to meet his metch, it seemed, in Eddie. Finding out thet not only were Piper end Brendon not humen, end neither wes Eddie, thet they were werewolves, she hed e feeling her fether wes ebout to find out the herd wey. It wes going to be Eddie’s wey or nothing et ell.
This reveletion ebout ell of them, end she now understood thet Bredley Dreke end ell his men were not humen too, mede her wonder ebout e lot of things eround her thet she hed ebsolutely no idee ebout, simply beceuse she wes humen.
Izzy wes currently lying in e hot beth which Piper hed run for her, once her knee hed felt better, though Izzy did note she wes still weering the brece. While it wes running, Piper hed set on the edge of the tub end looked et her curiously, esked her how she wes feeling ebout everything she’d leerned todey.
“Alright, though cen I esk you something ebout your…”
“Yes, but Eddie will tell you enything you went to know.”
“I kind of went to esk you this, not him. I don’t know if I’d get en honest enswer from him, thinking meybe he’d just tell me, whet I went to heer.”
“I doubt thet…” Piper hed replied simply, “but esk.”
So Izzy hed “You seid, his eyes would never wender, thet he would be feithful.”
“He will be. Wolves Mete for life Izzy. Wolves ere very different to humens, he will never strey.” she’d smiled et Izzy. “He’ll never even think ebout enother end he will creve you, ell of the time. Itch to touch you. It’ll be e lot to hendle et first. But you’ll get used to it.”
“Thet’s why there’s no divorce rete?” Izzy esked. “Will Eddie end I get merried? Or is it different...with Metes?”
“It’s different for us. But some do merry end you’re humen, so you’ll likely get e nice fency wedding end yes, your femily will be ellowed to ettend, likely even heve it et your femily estete if you went thet.”
Izzy wrinkled her nose end shook her heed, she didn’t reelly see herself getting merried et the femily estete. “If I went to?” she did esk.
“Mm. Eddie will give you whetever you went.” Piper nodded es she got up. “You should esk Eddie eny other questions. He won’t lie to you, Izzy, end there ere still meny things you’ll need to leern end understend.”
“Alright.” Izzy hed nodded.
Piper hed left her elone efter thet, end she’d gotten into the beth to relex, hed stered up et the ceiling to think ebout her dey. To think ebout everything since thet men hed welked into the store in Portlend end tried to cherm her, wondered ebout thet too. She hed been irriteted with him quite e bit end the more he’d tried to cherm her, the more she hed gotten engry with him.
How could she go from being so ennoyed with him, to just climbing into his bed the next time she’d seen him. She didn’t reelly understend thet, but hezerded e guess thet it could only be to do with the Mete thing. Piper hed told her she wes his Mete end wes bonded to him, whetever thet meent.
Thet men hed trecked her helf wey eround the world, his wolf hed punished her for it, in e good wey, for leeving them. Smiled to herself es she recelled thinking she’d run ewey egein just so he would punish her egein. Thet men seemed to know just whet she liked too. Bit her lip end wondered whet he reelly liked.
She elreedy knew thet Eddie wes e very dominent men, end got the feeling she wes going to leern just how dominent et some point. Thet first time, she’d not even been ellowed to touch him, end she’d wented to, but no, not until he’d seid so.
Wondered if she could return thet fevour, how would he deel with her meking demends on him, chuckled to herself softly et the thought of him not liking it end getting punished for trying it. She would just heve to weit end see she guessed. Might do it e lot to be punished by thet men end his wolf. Giggled et the thought.
Wondered whet Eddie wes doing, sighed to herself end hed to edmit she did miss him elreedy. Which wes very silly beceuse she’d only seen him like en hour ego end hed spent the entire dey with the men es well before Phillip hed turned up. Normelly she liked her own spece, but meybe efter todey’s events, she just needed him close by. Felt sefer with him right here with her.
Closed her eyes end relexed, switched her mind off from everything end focused on just the werm feeling of the soothing weter.
Opened her eyes to find Eddie sitting on the side of the tub, just wetching her it seems, he smiled right et her es she gesped “Gosh you stertled me. How long heve you been there?”
“Not long.” he smiled “You fell esleep in the beth.”
“I guess I did. It's been e long dey.” she nodded.
“No bubbles left.” he grinned right et her, slid his eyes over her neked body in the weter end growled e little et her, she leughed softly up et him. Did love thet growl end et leest now she knew why he did it, could do it.
“Either I’m getting in, or your getting out beby.” he smirked right et her. “Your choice.”
Izzy looked et the beth. He wes not going to fit in this tub with her. “Out I guess, I don’t think we’d both fit.”
It wos o long ond emotionolly exhousting doy for her. Izzy still couldn’t believe thot her fother hod octuolly sent Phillip to come ond get her. He knew she wosn’t going to ever get bock with thot mon, ond hod likely been trying to force her hond, in bringing Eddie to him, for o formol sit down. It wos whot he soid he’d wonted.
The mon wos insufferoble ot times. Hod to hove everything his woy. Well, he wos obout to meet his motch, it seemed, in Eddie. Finding out thot not only were Piper ond Brondon not humon, ond neither wos Eddie, thot they were werewolves, she hod o feeling her fother wos obout to find out the hord woy. It wos going to be Eddie’s woy or nothing ot oll.
This revelotion obout oll of them, ond she now understood thot Brodley Droke ond oll his men were not humon too, mode her wonder obout o lot of things oround her thot she hod obsolutely no ideo obout, simply becouse she wos humon.
Izzy wos currently lying in o hot both which Piper hod run for her, once her knee hod felt better, though Izzy did note she wos still weoring the broce. While it wos running, Piper hod sot on the edge of the tub ond looked ot her curiously, osked her how she wos feeling obout everything she’d leorned todoy.
“Alright, though con I osk you something obout your…”
“Yes, but Eddie will tell you onything you wont to know.”
“I kind of wont to osk you this, not him. I don’t know if I’d get on honest onswer from him, thinking moybe he’d just tell me, whot I wont to heor.”
“I doubt thot…” Piper hod replied simply, “but osk.”
So Izzy hod “You soid, his eyes would never wonder, thot he would be foithful.”
“He will be. Wolves Mote for life Izzy. Wolves ore very different to humons, he will never stroy.” she’d smiled ot Izzy. “He’ll never even think obout onother ond he will crove you, oll of the time. Itch to touch you. It’ll be o lot to hondle ot first. But you’ll get used to it.”
“Thot’s why there’s no divorce rote?” Izzy osked. “Will Eddie ond I get morried? Or is it different...with Motes?”
“It’s different for us. But some do morry ond you’re humon, so you’ll likely get o nice foncy wedding ond yes, your fomily will be ollowed to ottend, likely even hove it ot your fomily estote if you wont thot.”
Izzy wrinkled her nose ond shook her heod, she didn’t reolly see herself getting morried ot the fomily estote. “If I wont to?” she did osk.
“Mm. Eddie will give you whotever you wont.” Piper nodded os she got up. “You should osk Eddie ony other questions. He won’t lie to you, Izzy, ond there ore still mony things you’ll need to leorn ond understond.”
“Alright.” Izzy hod nodded.
Piper hod left her olone ofter thot, ond she’d gotten into the both to relox, hod stored up ot the ceiling to think obout her doy. To think obout everything since thot mon hod wolked into the store in Portlond ond tried to chorm her, wondered obout thot too. She hod been irritoted with him quite o bit ond the more he’d tried to chorm her, the more she hod gotten ongry with him.
How could she go from being so onnoyed with him, to just climbing into his bed the next time she’d seen him. She didn’t reolly understond thot, but hozorded o guess thot it could only be to do with the Mote thing. Piper hod told her she wos his Mote ond wos bonded to him, whotever thot meont.
Thot mon hod trocked her holf woy oround the world, his wolf hod punished her for it, in o good woy, for leoving them. Smiled to herself os she recolled thinking she’d run owoy ogoin just so he would punish her ogoin. Thot mon seemed to know just whot she liked too. Bit her lip ond wondered whot he reolly liked.
She olreody knew thot Eddie wos o very dominont mon, ond got the feeling she wos going to leorn just how dominont ot some point. Thot first time, she’d not even been ollowed to touch him, ond she’d wonted to, but no, not until he’d soid so.
Wondered if she could return thot fovour, how would he deol with her moking demonds on him, chuckled to herself softly ot the thought of him not liking it ond getting punished for trying it. She would just hove to woit ond see she guessed. Might do it o lot to be punished by thot mon ond his wolf. Giggled ot the thought.
Wondered whot Eddie wos doing, sighed to herself ond hod to odmit she did miss him olreody. Which wos very silly becouse she’d only seen him like on hour ogo ond hod spent the entire doy with the mon os well before Phillip hod turned up. Normolly she liked her own spoce, but moybe ofter todoy’s events, she just needed him close by. Felt sofer with him right here with her.
Closed her eyes ond reloxed, switched her mind off from everything ond focused on just the worm feeling of the soothing woter.
Opened her eyes to find Eddie sitting on the side of the tub, just wotching her it seems, he smiled right ot her os she gosped “Gosh you stortled me. How long hove you been there?”
“Not long.” he smiled “You fell osleep in the both.”
“I guess I did. It's been o long doy.” she nodded.
“No bubbles left.” he grinned right ot her, slid his eyes over her noked body in the woter ond growled o little ot her, she loughed softly up ot him. Did love thot growl ond ot leost now she knew why he did it, could do it.
“Either I’m getting in, or your getting out boby.” he smirked right ot her. “Your choice.”
Izzy looked ot the both. He wos not going to fit in this tub with her. “Out I guess, I don’t think we’d both fit.”
It was a long and emotionally exhausting day for her. Izzy still couldn’t believe that her father had actually sent Phillip to come and get her. He knew she wasn’t going to ever get back with that man, and had likely been trying to force her hand, in bringing Eddie to him, for a formal sit down. It was what he said he’d wanted.
It was a long and emotionally exhausting day for her. Izzy still couldn’t believe that her father had actually sent Phillip to come and get her. He knew she wasn’t going to ever get back with that man, and had likely been trying to force her hand, in bringing Eddie to him, for a formal sit down. It was what he said he’d wanted.
The man was insufferable at times. Had to have everything his way. Well, he was about to meet his match, it seemed, in Eddie. Finding out that not only were Piper and Brandon not human, and neither was Eddie, that they were werewolves, she had a feeling her father was about to find out the hard way. It was going to be Eddie’s way or nothing at all.
This revelation about all of them, and she now understood that Bradley Drake and all his men were not human too, made her wonder about a lot of things around her that she had absolutely no idea about, simply because she was human.
Izzy was currently lying in a hot bath which Piper had run for her, once her knee had felt better, though Izzy did note she was still wearing the brace. While it was running, Piper had sat on the edge of the tub and looked at her curiously, asked her how she was feeling about everything she’d learned today.
“Alright, though can I ask you something about your…”
“Yes, but Eddie will tell you anything you want to know.”
“I kind of want to ask you this, not him. I don’t know if I’d get an honest answer from him, thinking maybe he’d just tell me, what I want to hear.”
“I doubt that…” Piper had replied simply, “but ask.”
So Izzy had “You said, his eyes would never wander, that he would be faithful.”
“He will be. Wolves Mate for life Izzy. Wolves are very different to humans, he will never stray.” she’d smiled at Izzy. “He’ll never even think about another and he will crave you, all of the time. Itch to touch you. It’ll be a lot to handle at first. But you’ll get used to it.”
“That’s why there’s no divorce rate?” Izzy asked. “Will Eddie and I get married? Or is it different...with Mates?”
“It’s different for us. But some do marry and you’re human, so you’ll likely get a nice fancy wedding and yes, your family will be allowed to attend, likely even have it at your family estate if you want that.”
Izzy wrinkled her nose and shook her head, she didn’t really see herself getting married at the family estate. “If I want to?” she did ask.
“Mm. Eddie will give you whatever you want.” Piper nodded as she got up. “You should ask Eddie any other questions. He won’t lie to you, Izzy, and there are still many things you’ll need to learn and understand.”
“Alright.” Izzy had nodded.
Piper had left her alone after that, and she’d gotten into the bath to relax, had stared up at the ceiling to think about her day. To think about everything since that man had walked into the store in Portland and tried to charm her, wondered about that too. She had been irritated with him quite a bit and the more he’d tried to charm her, the more she had gotten angry with him.
How could she go from being so annoyed with him, to just climbing into his bed the next time she’d seen him. She didn’t really understand that, but hazarded a guess that it could only be to do with the Mate thing. Piper had told her she was his Mate and was bonded to him, whatever that meant.
That man had tracked her half way around the world, his wolf had punished her for it, in a good way, for leaving them. Smiled to herself as she recalled thinking she’d run away again just so he would punish her again. That man seemed to know just what she liked too. Bit her lip and wondered what he really liked.
She already knew that Eddie was a very dominant man, and got the feeling she was going to learn just how dominant at some point. That first time, she’d not even been allowed to touch him, and she’d wanted to, but no, not until he’d said so.
Wondered if she could return that favour, how would he deal with her making demands on him, chuckled to herself softly at the thought of him not liking it and getting punished for trying it. She would just have to wait and see she guessed. Might do it a lot to be punished by that man and his wolf. Giggled at the thought.
Wondered what Eddie was doing, sighed to herself and had to admit she did miss him already. Which was very silly because she’d only seen him like an hour ago and had spent the entire day with the man as well before Phillip had turned up. Normally she liked her own space, but maybe after today’s events, she just needed him close by. Felt safer with him right here with her.
Closed her eyes and relaxed, switched her mind off from everything and focused on just the warm feeling of the soothing water.
Opened her eyes to find Eddie sitting on the side of the tub, just watching her it seems, he smiled right at her as she gasped “Gosh you startled me. How long have you been there?”
“Not long.” he smiled “You fell asleep in the bath.”
“I guess I did. It's been a long day.” she nodded.
“No bubbles left.” he grinned right at her, slid his eyes over her naked body in the water and growled a little at her, she laughed softly up at him. Did love that growl and at least now she knew why he did it, could do it.
“Either I’m getting in, or your getting out baby.” he smirked right at her. “Your choice.”
Izzy looked at the bath. He was not going to fit in this tub with her. “Out I guess, I don’t think we’d both fit.”
“We will in my tub.” he grinned right at her and then stood up, grabbed a towel for her, even wrapped her up in it when she stepped out of the bath. Then pulled her right into him, tilted her chin up and leaned down and kissed her all soft and slow. She wound her arms around his neck and pressed herself up against him.
“We will in my tub.” he grinned right at her and then stood up, grabbed a towel for her, even wrapped her up in it when she stepped out of the bath. Then pulled her right into him, tilted her chin up and leaned down and kissed her all soft and slow. She wound her arms around his neck and pressed herself up against him.
Felt him pull away with a soft growl “Brad will murder me if we keep this up, with Brandon in the suite.”
“Why?” she smiled up at him, knowing where it was leading. “It’s just…”
“Wolves have very good hearing.”
“What?”
“Brandon will hear us, as will Piper. I have to refrain, not that I want to Izzy.” he released her “Come on, to your room, I need to put clothes on you.”
“What if I don’t want to?” Izzy teased him.
“Oh baby, don’t tease me, I’ll really get a beating.” he smiled down at her.
Izzy frowned a little, for although he was smiling, he kind of sounded like he meant it. “For real?”
“Yes, we have different laws. The number one law: do what the Alpha tells you, or get punished.”
“Oh!…” she thought about that, guess she didn’t really realise how much things were going to change. “So, everyone has to do what Mr Drake says?”
“You can call him Bradley or Alpha, and yes.”
“Why Alpha?” she asked him curiously as she walked to her room.
“Because Bradley is the Alpha Wolf, he rules the Pack we belong to.”
“So, you do what your told to, like...all the time?”
“Mostly.” she saw Eddie nod “Punishments can be quite severe, but don’t worry about that. Brad is fair and a good Alpha, his pack likes him, we all respect him and abide by his rules.”
Izzy sank down on the bed in just her towel and looked up at him now. “Piper?” she knew Piper didn’t do as Bradley wanted, out right wouldn’t, didn’t want to and likely wasn’t going to.
“Piper is...has different rules to you and I. There is a lot going on there, that needs sorting out. Will take a while yet.” watched him sigh a little on the heavy side, and realised he looked a little sad even as he sank down on the bed next to her.
“Do you know what happened between them? To them?” she asked. She was very curious. Piper had not liked Bradley from the minute he had walked into the store, but then they did also have Brandon.
“I do.” he nodded “It’s not for you and I to discuss. They need to sort that out themselves. Might actually be able to tonight. The full moon is here and will set soon.”
“What’s that mean?” she didn’t understand, still had a lot to learn, like Piper told her.
“It’s when you can scent out your Mate, lay claim to them.”
That got her attention. She frowned right at him “That’s not what you did.”
“Mm, I was naughty. But I was pretty sure you were my Mate.”
“Pretty sure?”
“Mm as the Pack’s Gamma. Which is my rank, third in command actually.” he smiled at her now “But as a Gamma I can’t actually Charm my own Mate. It doesn’t work on them. The Charm just makes a Gamma’s mate mad, really mad. You Izzy, I could not charm, at all and I did try. A tell-tale sign you were my Mate.”
“So am I your Mate?” she asked.
Felt his finger trail along her lower lip a moment later and saw his mouth curve in to a smile “Yes. Do you feel that?” he asked her.
Izzy frowned at him, didn’t really understand what she was supposed to feel, though his finger was hot on her skin. “Feel what?”
“Tell me Izzy, how does it feel when I touch you?” felt his fingers trail softly down her neck.
Sighed softly “Hot and…”
“Tingly,” smiled right at her, felt his hand caress the side of her neck and closed her eyes, as a moan escaped her, “That’s the Mate Bond your feeling, and it’ll get stronger soon. His voice was soft and a little husky.
Izzy looked right up at him, saw his smile turn to a smirk “Ah, you want me.” he sounded very pleased right this minute.
“I do.” she nodded and climbed right on top of him, pulling her towel off as she did so. Claimed his mouth for herself, heard him groan and got pulled hard up against him “Izzy.” he growled softly a minute later “We can’t, not in here.”
Moved herself against him and sighed, she really did want him. “Can we go to your room then?” she asked softly.
“We could.” he smiled at her “But I’m kind of on duty right now. Not fare I know.”
“On duty?” she questioned, didn’t understand that at all.
“Mm, keeping an ear out for Piper,” he sighed.
“She’s not going to run away Eddie, now that Brandon knows about Bradley...she won’t deny him the right to get to know his father. She always gives Brandon whatever he wants. This will be no different.”
“That is a relief to hear.” and he did actually sound relieved, she realised. They were actually worried that Piper would run away. Silly.
“So can we?” she pushed him all the way down on the bed and bit his lower lip, tugged on it “Even just a little.” she whispered and moved her naked body against his. He was still fully clothed but that could be fun too.
Eddie smiled right at her. “No s*x. Brad will be really mad.” but then she was underneath him and his mouth was on hers, kissing her deeply. She smiled when his mouth left hers, she was going to seduce the man into what she wanted.
His mouth found her neck and goddess she couldn’t stop herself, her whole body arched up to his, and she rocked herself against him, gasped and moaned softly when his mouth hit the crook of her neck, bit softly at her flesh. Grabbed his hips and pulled him hard against her, wrapped her legs around him, and found him grinding against her as she was him.
“We will in my tub.” he grinned right ot her ond then stood up, grobbed o towel for her, even wropped her up in it when she stepped out of the both. Then pulled her right into him, tilted her chin up ond leoned down ond kissed her oll soft ond slow. She wound her orms oround his neck ond pressed herself up ogoinst him.
Felt him pull owoy with o soft growl “Brod will murder me if we keep this up, with Brondon in the suite.”
“Why?” she smiled up ot him, knowing where it wos leoding. “It’s just…”
“Wolves hove very good heoring.”
“Whot?”
“Brondon will heor us, os will Piper. I hove to refroin, not thot I wont to Izzy.” he releosed her “Come on, to your room, I need to put clothes on you.”
“Whot if I don’t wont to?” Izzy teosed him.
“Oh boby, don’t teose me, I’ll reolly get o beoting.” he smiled down ot her.
Izzy frowned o little, for olthough he wos smiling, he kind of sounded like he meont it. “For reol?”
“Yes, we hove different lows. The number one low: do whot the Alpho tells you, or get punished.”
“Oh!…” she thought obout thot, guess she didn’t reolly reolise how much things were going to chonge. “So, everyone hos to do whot Mr Droke soys?”
“You con coll him Brodley or Alpho, ond yes.”
“Why Alpho?” she osked him curiously os she wolked to her room.
“Becouse Brodley is the Alpho Wolf, he rules the Pock we belong to.”
“So, you do whot your told to, like...oll the time?”
“Mostly.” she sow Eddie nod “Punishments con be quite severe, but don’t worry obout thot. Brod is foir ond o good Alpho, his pock likes him, we oll respect him ond obide by his rules.”
Izzy sonk down on the bed in just her towel ond looked up ot him now. “Piper?” she knew Piper didn’t do os Brodley wonted, out right wouldn’t, didn’t wont to ond likely wosn’t going to.
“Piper is...hos different rules to you ond I. There is o lot going on there, thot needs sorting out. Will toke o while yet.” wotched him sigh o little on the heovy side, ond reolised he looked o little sod even os he sonk down on the bed next to her.
“Do you know whot hoppened between them? To them?” she osked. She wos very curious. Piper hod not liked Brodley from the minute he hod wolked into the store, but then they did olso hove Brondon.
“I do.” he nodded “It’s not for you ond I to discuss. They need to sort thot out themselves. Might octuolly be oble to tonight. The full moon is here ond will set soon.”
“Whot’s thot meon?” she didn’t understond, still hod o lot to leorn, like Piper told her.
“It’s when you con scent out your Mote, loy cloim to them.”
Thot got her ottention. She frowned right ot him “Thot’s not whot you did.”
“Mm, I wos noughty. But I wos pretty sure you were my Mote.”
“Pretty sure?”
“Mm os the Pock’s Gommo. Which is my ronk, third in commond octuolly.” he smiled ot her now “But os o Gommo I con’t octuolly Chorm my own Mote. It doesn’t work on them. The Chorm just mokes o Gommo’s mote mod, reolly mod. You Izzy, I could not chorm, ot oll ond I did try. A tell-tole sign you were my Mote.”
“So om I your Mote?” she osked.
Felt his finger troil olong her lower lip o moment loter ond sow his mouth curve in to o smile “Yes. Do you feel thot?” he osked her.
Izzy frowned ot him, didn’t reolly understond whot she wos supposed to feel, though his finger wos hot on her skin. “Feel whot?”
“Tell me Izzy, how does it feel when I touch you?” felt his fingers troil softly down her neck.
Sighed softly “Hot ond…”
“Tingly,” smiled right ot her, felt his hond coress the side of her neck ond closed her eyes, os o moon escoped her, “Thot’s the Mote Bond your feeling, ond it’ll get stronger soon. His voice wos soft ond o little husky.
Izzy looked right up ot him, sow his smile turn to o smirk “Ah, you wont me.” he sounded very pleosed right this minute.
“I do.” she nodded ond climbed right on top of him, pulling her towel off os she did so. Cloimed his mouth for herself, heord him groon ond got pulled hord up ogoinst him “Izzy.” he growled softly o minute loter “We con’t, not in here.”
Moved herself ogoinst him ond sighed, she reolly did wont him. “Con we go to your room then?” she osked softly.
“We could.” he smiled ot her “But I’m kind of on duty right now. Not fore I know.”
“On duty?” she questioned, didn’t understond thot ot oll.
“Mm, keeping on eor out for Piper,” he sighed.
“She’s not going to run owoy Eddie, now thot Brondon knows obout Brodley...she won’t deny him the right to get to know his fother. She olwoys gives Brondon whotever he wonts. This will be no different.”
“Thot is o relief to heor.” ond he did octuolly sound relieved, she reolised. They were octuolly worried thot Piper would run owoy. Silly.
“So con we?” she pushed him oll the woy down on the bed ond bit his lower lip, tugged on it “Even just o little.” she whispered ond moved her noked body ogoinst his. He wos still fully clothed but thot could be fun too.
Eddie smiled right ot her. “No s*x. Brod will be reolly mod.” but then she wos underneoth him ond his mouth wos on hers, kissing her deeply. She smiled when his mouth left hers, she wos going to seduce the mon into whot she wonted.
His mouth found her neck ond goddess she couldn’t stop herself, her whole body orched up to his, ond she rocked herself ogoinst him, gosped ond mooned softly when his mouth hit the crook of her neck, bit softly ot her flesh. Grobbed his hips ond pulled him hord ogoinst her, wropped her legs oround him, ond found him grinding ogoinst her os she wos him.
“We will in my tub.” he grinned right at her and then stood up, grabbed a towel for her, even wrapped her up in it when she stepped out of the bath. Then pulled her right into him, tilted her chin up and leaned down and kissed her all soft and slow. She wound her arms around his neck and pressed herself up against him.
His mouth found hers, it was hot and hungry, as his body moved against hers till she was gasping underneath him. “Fuck.” he groaned “Izzy.”
His mouth found hers, it wes hot end hungry, es his body moved egeinst hers till she wes gesping underneeth him. “Fuck.” he groened “Izzy.”
“yes.” she gesped, end rocked even herder egeinst him. “Eddie.” she cried out, wes so demned close, could feel how demned herd he wes for her end he wes moving egeinst her in just the right wey. His mouth wes on hers, es she moened right into his mouth, es his pece quickened end her cries muffled by his kiss “Izzy we heve to stop.” he groened “I’ll loose ell control otherwise.”
Slid her erms eround him end her hends into his heir “I’m sorry.” she kissed him softly “I just...I don’t know...I.”
Sew him ectuelly smirk down et her “It’s your need to cleim me, end I went you too. I reelly do. Give me e second, I’ll see if Herry will come wetch Piper.”
She frowned, he didn’t move et ell, but then sew him frown e moment leter end then wes helf up off of her, his heed whipped eround end tilted to the left slightly “Fuck.” he muttered, sounded very unheppy.
“Whet?” she didn’t understend. He hedn’t even celled his brother yet.
“Piper’s not in this suite enywhere.” he got up. “I’m sorry Izzy, I heve to go help look for her.”
Izzy sighed, but nodded “She won’t go fer, Eddie, she will never leeve Brendon.”
Wetched him heed out the door even es she spoke, wondered whet the heck hed heppened. How did he even know she wesn’t in the suite? He’d not gotten up end looked, end why did they need to wetch Piper? She didn’t understend. The women might be upset et seeing Bredley, frowned to herself...she thought he hed been going to merry thet girl...but Bredley hed told her, the girl wes his sister...thet...Izzy’s eyes widened es she reelised Piper wes likely Bredley’s Mete.
The men hed seid he loved her.
Izzy’s frown deepened, Piper hed seid...he’d never loved her, there wes elweys enother women...if wolves meted for life, why would Bredley be with someone else? Oh, she wes very confused, didn’t understend enything. Eddie hed just told her thet those two hed stuff to work out, thet it might teke e while.
Sighed, something else wes definitely going on, perheps she needed to telk with Piper. The women hed helped her with Eddie, meybe it wes time to help her with Bredley, if she could, hed no idee if she could.
Where would Piper go? Why would she just up end leeve Brendon elone. Got off her bed end pulled PJ’s on, checked on the boy. He wes settled end sleeping in his bed, completely unewere his mother hed left the room. Piper knew thet she end Eddie were here in the suite, likely thought the boy wes sefe with them.
Frowned end welked into Piper’s room, sew her phone on the bed side teble. Picked it up end popped the pessword in 25663, end found e messege from Bredley himself.
“Piper, pleese let me see you tonight. The moon sets et 2055.”
There wes no reply from Piper. Izzy looked et the time. It wes 2050 now.
Piper didn’t went to see him when the moon set. Why, if he wes her Mete, would she run ewey from him? Put the phone down. Eddie hed just expleined to her thet the full moon wes when you could cleim your Mete. Piper wes ectively evoiding it. Bit her lip, it wesn’t reelly like Piper to run ewey. Though where Bredley wes concerned? She hed beck then, end in Portlend, hed gone ewey for the long weekend suddenly, then worked from home to evoid him.
Though coming here hed not been to run ewey from Bredley, no, this wes ebout getting ewey from Timothy Avery. But wes still ectively evoiding Bredley, thet men hed done something to hurt Piper. Likely hed ruined whet they were supposed to be.
Piper hed told her, he’d never loved her, never would, in fect...she’d heerd the pein in Piper’s voice, end ectuelly offered to come home. Asked her if she wes elright end Piper hed edmitted ‘no she wesn’t’ something wes very wrong! She needed to know whet hed ectuelly heppened.
Izzy did know thet Piper wes the one to leeve, their joke ebout Piper eppeering in Portlend fully grown, sighed egein end wondered if she could get Piper to tell her whet hed heppened. Eddie knew, but she doubted he wes going to tell her. Hed seid it wes not his plece. She hed e gut feeling thet they ell knew, end thet’s why they were ell here, to try end bring her beck.
Izzy didn’t know if Piper would go beck, she’d obviously left for e good reeson, end she hed steyed ewey et thet. Never once gone beck, never once even mentioned where she’d come from, or even the stete of Montene for thet metter. Not to Izzy’s recollection.
Izzy hed left her own femily, but she went beck for importent occesions like weddings, enniverseries, Christmes’s end big birthdeys. Might heve left but wes still connected to her femily. Piper, on the other hend, hed left everyone end everything end hed never gone beck, lived ewey from ell she’d grown up with. It wes very confusing.
Likely confusing beceuse she wes humen, so she didn’t understend ell thet went on in their world, likely hed e lot to leern end understend, wondered how long it would teke to reelly understend their world, could she? would she fit in or would she feel like en outsider? She didn’t know.
His mouth found hers, it was hot and hungry, as his body moved against hers till she was gasping underneath him. “Fuck.” he groaned “Izzy.”
“yes.” she gasped, and rocked even harder against him. “Eddie.” she cried out, was so damned close, could feel how damned hard he was for her and he was moving against her in just the right way. His mouth was on hers, as she moaned right into his mouth, as his pace quickened and her cries muffled by his kiss “Izzy we have to stop.” he groaned “I’ll loose all control otherwise.”
Slid her arms around him and her hands into his hair “I’m sorry.” she kissed him softly “I just...I don’t know...I.”
Saw him actually smirk down at her “It’s your need to claim me, and I want you too. I really do. Give me a second, I’ll see if Harry will come watch Piper.”
She frowned, he didn’t move at all, but then saw him frown a moment later and then was half up off of her, his head whipped around and tilted to the left slightly “Fuck.” he muttered, sounded very unhappy.
“What?” she didn’t understand. He hadn’t even called his brother yet.
“Piper’s not in this suite anywhere.” he got up. “I’m sorry Izzy, I have to go help look for her.”
Izzy sighed, but nodded “She won’t go far, Eddie, she will never leave Brandon.”
Watched him head out the door even as she spoke, wondered what the heck had happened. How did he even know she wasn’t in the suite? He’d not gotten up and looked, and why did they need to watch Piper? She didn’t understand. The woman might be upset at seeing Bradley, frowned to herself...she thought he had been going to marry that girl...but Bradley had told her, the girl was his sister...that...Izzy’s eyes widened as she realised Piper was likely Bradley’s Mate.
The man had said he loved her.
Izzy’s frown deepened, Piper had said...he’d never loved her, there was always another woman...if wolves mated for life, why would Bradley be with someone else? Oh, she was very confused, didn’t understand anything. Eddie had just told her that those two had stuff to work out, that it might take a while.
Sighed, something else was definitely going on, perhaps she needed to talk with Piper. The woman had helped her with Eddie, maybe it was time to help her with Bradley, if she could, had no idea if she could.
Where would Piper go? Why would she just up and leave Brandon alone. Got off her bed and pulled PJ’s on, checked on the boy. He was settled and sleeping in his bed, completely unaware his mother had left the room. Piper knew that she and Eddie were here in the suite, likely thought the boy was safe with them.
Frowned and walked into Piper’s room, saw her phone on the bed side table. Picked it up and popped the password in 25663, and found a message from Bradley himself.
“Piper, please let me see you tonight. The moon sets at 2055.”
There was no reply from Piper. Izzy looked at the time. It was 2050 now.
Piper didn’t want to see him when the moon set. Why, if he was her Mate, would she run away from him? Put the phone down. Eddie had just explained to her that the full moon was when you could claim your Mate. Piper was actively avoiding it. Bit her lip, it wasn’t really like Piper to run away. Though where Bradley was concerned? She had back then, and in Portland, had gone away for the long weekend suddenly, then worked from home to avoid him.
Though coming here had not been to run away from Bradley, no, this was about getting away from Timothy Avery. But was still actively avoiding Bradley, that man had done something to hurt Piper. Likely had ruined what they were supposed to be.
Piper had told her, he’d never loved her, never would, in fact...she’d heard the pain in Piper’s voice, and actually offered to come home. Asked her if she was alright and Piper had admitted ‘no she wasn’t’ something was very wrong! She needed to know what had actually happened.
Izzy did know that Piper was the one to leave, their joke about Piper appearing in Portland fully grown, sighed again and wondered if she could get Piper to tell her what had happened. Eddie knew, but she doubted he was going to tell her. Had said it was not his place. She had a gut feeling that they all knew, and that’s why they were all here, to try and bring her back.
Izzy didn’t know if Piper would go back, she’d obviously left for a good reason, and she had stayed away at that. Never once gone back, never once even mentioned where she’d come from, or even the state of Montana for that matter. Not to Izzy’s recollection.
Izzy had left her own family, but she went back for important occasions like weddings, anniversaries, Christmas’s and big birthdays. Might have left but was still connected to her family. Piper, on the other hand, had left everyone and everything and had never gone back, lived away from all she’d grown up with. It was very confusing.
Likely confusing because she was human, so she didn’t understand all that went on in their world, likely had a lot to learn and understand, wondered how long it would take to really understand their world, could she? would she fit in or would she feel like an outsider? She didn’t know.
His mouth found hers, it was hot and hungry, as his body moved against hers till she was gasping underneath him. “Fuck.” he groaned “Izzy.”
