Unscentable Chapter Summary 61-75

Unscentable Chapter 60

Bradley was happy that Brandon allowed him to carry him all the way to the training grounds, where they engaged in various physically demanding activities such as hand-to-hand combat, endurance training, and obstacle courses. The training grounds were designed for fully realized wolves, and Bradley was keen to show off his physical prowess to Piper, his mate. He was also eager to bond with his son, Brandon, who was half-realized.

As they completed the course, Bradley noticed that Piper seemed to be playing with him, challenging him and testing his limits. Eddie, the gamma of the pack, seemed to be having a good time as well, laughing and chatting with Bradley as they competed. Despite not winning, Bradley was impressed by Eddie’s skills and agility. After the challenge, Bradley and Eddie cleaned up, and Bradley noticed that Brandon had bonded with Eddie, calling him “Uncle Eddie.” Bradley was pleased to see his son assimilating into the pack, and Piper’s relaxed attitude towards the situation gave him hope that she would eventually come around and accept her new role as his mate and Brandon’s mother.

Unscentable Chapter 61

Piper, the Luna, stood in the luxurious Luna Suite, feeling a mix of emotions as she looked around the spacious room. She had always avoided this part of the pack-house, but Bradley had insisted on showing her and Brandon to the luxurious suite. The room was designed like a large hotel suite, with a deep plush-looking couch and matching arm chair, a fireplace with a large wall-mounted TV above the mantle. Despite the opulence, Piper couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed and a bit tired. She had only just started to recover from her injuries and was still not feeling her best.

As she sat down on the couch, Piper’s thoughts turned to her injuries. She had staples in one of her arms and along her side, and her neck still bore the scars from the vampire’s bite. She also saw the Mark of Benson, the Pack’s leader, on her neck, and couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease. Piper knew that she was still considered a rogue until she and Harper pledged loyalty to Bradley or Marked him back. As she looked around the room, Piper realized that she was hungry and tired, and that there were no food or drinks available in the suite. She knew that they would have to go downstairs to the pack-house dining room to eat, and couldn’t help but feel a sense of resentment towards Bradley for not providing any snacks or food in the room.

Unscentable Chapter 62

Piper woke up to a darkened room, feeling hollow and starved. She heard Harper’s whining and gently pawing at the edges of her mind, signaling their hunger. Piper got out of bed, turned on the lamp, and searched for food. Failing to find anything, she decided to venture out to the pack-house kitchen. As she sat at the door, she noticed Hadley emerging from the Beta’s suite, sneaking out with a messy hair and a tee-shirt. Piper realized that Hadley must have been with the packs’ Beta, Cooper, all night. She stood and watched as the girl’s eyes found hers, bit her lip, and hurried away.

Cooper appeared, buttoning up his pants, and Piper decided to stay silent about their encounter. Cooper brought her some food, which she ate quickly with Harper. As they finished, Cooper suggested she shower, mentioning that she still smelled like Hadley. Piper wondered how long their relationship had been going on, as Cooper seemed to be hiding it from the Alpha, Brad. She didn’t care about their affair, but Cooper seemed worried about being caught. Piper knew she had leverage over the pack Beta and Alpha, as she wasn’t planning on outing them to Brad. She sat down, ate the food, and wondered what she would do about her businesses on the west coast and her and Brandon’s life outside of the pack. Harper was quiet, waiting for Aspen, who might have some insight into their situation.

Unscentable Chapter 63

Bradley watched with a big smile on his face as he saw Brandon and Piper laughing and playing together in the Luna suite. He was happy to see his son and Mate so joyful and carefree. He wanted to be a part of that moment, but knew he shouldn’t yet. He came up with a plan to get Piper downstairs for breakfast, knowing it would be a big step for her. He was happy to see her enjoying herself and couldn’t stop thinking about what this could mean for their future.

As they headed to the dining room for breakfast, Bradley noticed the omega’s and school kids already there, all chatting and socializing. They were all friendly and polite, bowing slightly as they passed. Kane, a border patroller, approached him, looking confused and apologetic. Bradley reassured him that finding Piper was all that mattered. Piper was calm and collected as they sat down to eat, enjoying her caramel syrup coffee. Bradley took note of her interests and made a mental list of things to get for her when he won her over.

Unscentable Chapter 64

Piper watched as Hadley walked into the dining room, seemingly uncomfortable as she joined Piper at the same table as the Alpha’s family. Piper realized that she was likely gunning for Brad with all the secrets she’d gathered. Piper didn’t care about their little secret, but had promised Cooper she wouldn’t breathe a word. As they ate, Piper entertained the idea of using Hadley’s secrets as leverage, depending on how badly they wanted to keep things under wraps. Meanwhile, Piper’s attention was drawn to Alpha Benjamin, who was pushing his luck with Brandon.

Before leaving the dining room, Piper decided to take Brandon and Izzy to get some warm clothes, as it was cold outside. Brad, however, vetoed the idea, suggesting that Piper use a personal shopper instead. Piper was tempted to argue, but decided to let it slide. As she, Brandon, and Izzy headed to Brad’s office, they were joined by Annabella, an elder of the pack who revealed herself to be Piper’s great-grandmother. Annabella offered her help in understanding what Piper and Brandon were, and produced a ring that would protect Brandon and adjust to fit him magically. Piper’s thoughts were interrupted by Annabella’s explanations about the pack’s ways of managing their wolfen senses, which allowed her to reveal that she could teach the pack how to not rely solely on their instincts.

Unscentable Chapter 65

Bradley was thankful for Annabella’s help with Brandon, answering Piper’s questions and reassuring him about his wolf. He couldn’t help but think about how much he wanted to mate with Piper, to claim her as his own. He pushed the thought aside, focusing on the task at hand: discussing Aspen’s emerging wolf with Piper. Bradley explained that when Aspen’s wolf emerged fully, Brandon would have to wear the ring to remain invisible to the pack. Piper acknowledged Brad’s concerns, explaining that she suffered from a one-sided bond and introduced Brandon to her pendant, which made her invisible to the pack.

As the shopping trip began, Bradley could see Piper becoming more comfortable within the pack, thanks to Brandon’s comfort. He noted that she had a unique style and planned to drive her and Izzy around Helena to look at available real estate for her store. Cooper suggested arranging for the press to capture photos of Piper and Bradley together, which Bradley agreed to, but Piper’s reaction remained unclear. Despite the challenges, Bradley was determined to provide for his family and hold his son’s hand, even when Piper seemed uncomfortable with the gesture. As the day went on, Brandon complained of tired feet, and Bradley picked him up, carrying him on his shoulders.

Unscentable Chapter 66

Piper sat quietly in the car on the ride back to the pack, still feeling the effects of teasing Cooper earlier. She wasn’t going to out Hadley and Cooper, but that didn’t mean she wouldn’t remind them or annoy them. It was a little payback for when Cooper had tried to lord it over her at her store. When they arrived, she was relieved to be alone in her room with Brandon.

As they were leaving the pack house, Alpha Timothy appeared, demanding to talk to Piper. Suddenly, Fade, a sudden-shifted all-white Arctic wolf, emerged from the woman’s body, with Aspen rising to the surface. The situation quickly escalated, with Timothy, Edward, and the rest of the pack reacting to the unexpected event. Annabella, who appeared on the scene, was delighted to see Fade and revealed that she was an Arctic wolf, a rare and primal breed. As Fade interacted with Annabella, it was clear that she had a strong connection to the woman, and Annabella believed that Fade was a natural Alpha.

Unscentable Chapter 67

Bradlyn had not expected Aspen to intervene on his behalf, putting a hand on his mother to keep her back from Timothy’s advance. Aspen’s reaction seemed truly Alpha, but Brad knew that Timothy was not an easy opponent. Meanwhile, Harper’s wolf, Fade, burst out of her body, responding to the perceived threat. Timothy’s attitude towards Aspen was dismissive, as if he did not care that the boy’s wolf might emerge. Brad knew they were all in agreement to keep the boys wolf inside, for as long as possible, including Edmond and Fade, who could well have emerged herself to stop her own Alpha from doing so.

The group’s dynamics were complex, with motivations and alliances shifting rapidly. Brad watched as Fade’s wolf emerged, its white fur and long, deadly claws making it a daunting sight. Timothy’s attempt to apologize to Piper was met with a stern response, and then Aspen’s shift into his wolf form was followed by a showdown between Timbers and Eddie, with Brad ultimately stepping in to calm the situation. Later, Brad spoke with Timothy about his behavior, advising him to respect pack rules and protocols. Their conversation turned to Brandon’s conception, with Timothy seeking to discuss it with Piper before leaving and Annabella being the person to talk to her about it.

Unscentable Chapter 68

Piper was suspicious of Brad’s motives when he invited her to a private family dinner, which seemed strange because, unlike his usual straightforwardness, he was trying to cover up his emotions and didn’t tell her what was going on. She sensed that something important was bothering him, and she nodded to accept the invitation. During dinner, she met Brad’s family members and was surprised by how well they got along. However, things took a turn when Brad mentioned her opening a new store in Helena and brought up the pack movers who had been arrested for breaking into her house. Piper was annoyed by his insinuation that she should just let them claim her belongings, and things escalated into a heated conversation.

Annabella, Brad’s great-grandmother, called Piper into her office to discuss a matter that had been bothering her. Annabella revealed that she was there to investigate whether Brad had broken the Whitlock laws by taking control of Piper’s life without her consent. Piper felt uneasy, but Annabella reassured her that she wasn’t there to punish Brad but rather ensure that the contract between their packs was upheld. When Harper asked what the punishment would be for breaking the contract, Annabella confirmed that it would be between Timothy and Brad, possibly involving Alpha-to-Alpha discipline.

Unscentable Chapter 69

Bradley watched as Annabella and Piper came out of his office, relieved to hear that everything was well, but noticed that Piper’s impassive look didn’t reveal her true feelings. Timothy, his father, seemed relieved too, and Bradley knew that neither of them wanted to engage in an Alpha Duel. Despite the tension, Bradley felt a sense of relief wash over him, knowing that the conversation was over and all was well.

However, things took a turn when Edward told Brad that Piper and Harper were not okay, and that anger was building between them. Brad then followed Edward to the Luna Suites door, where he found him trying to sense what was going on inside. Piper was upset with Bradley, and Harper wanted to punish him, but Brad didn’t know what he had done wrong. Eddie eventually opened the door and Brad connected with him via mind-link, hearing that Piper was calm enough, but still angry. Despite the uncertainty, Brad was relieved when Eddie mentioned that Harper thought of him and Benson as Piper’s Mates, a huge relief for them.

Unscentable Chapter 70

Piper sat in the pack-house dining room with the Alpha Unit, still annoyed from the previous night’s argument with Harper. Her annoyance only increased when Lilly burst in, excitedly waving a newspaper and announcing that they were in the news. The article featured a photo of Bradley, Piper, and Brandon, with a caption stating that Bradley was off the market. Piper was mortified, especially since the article highlighted their interactions, including a photo of Eddie kissing Izzy and speculation about a new baby on the way. Brandon was thrilled, while Piper just wanted to be left alone.

As the situation unfolded, Bradley questioned Piper about her happiness with the article, and she reluctantly admitted to being annoyed. When they googled their names together, they found even more photos and articles. Bradley’s Beta, Cooper, had likely organized the publicity stunt, which only added to Piper’s frustration. Just as she was reeling from the news, Hadley appeared, commenting that Piper must feel trapped and pressured by Bradley’s agenda. Piper watched Bradley’s reaction, knowing that he had indeed planned the publicity with Cooper. Feeling abandoned and annoyed, Piper told Bradley to leave her alone and stalked off, declaring that she needed some space.

Unscentable Chapter 71

Bradley, the Alpha of the pack, was left feeling frustrated and guilty after Piper, the Luna, stormed off into the woods, upset with him for his reckless decision to share their secret with the human world. He knew he had pushed her too hard, but couldn’t help himself. His Gamma, Eddie, tried to calm him down, urging him to let Piper be and trust that she would return.

Bradley was getting increasingly worried as the minutes ticked by and Piper remained missing. He couldn’t feel her tether, and his wolf, Benson, was frantic with worry. They retraced Piper’s steps, searching the woods, but found nothing. As the night wore on, Bradley became more and more desperate, fearing the worst. It wasn’t until Eddie managed to mind-link with Annabella, another pack member, that they finally located Piper, safe and sound, in a hidden cabin deep in the woods.

Unscentable Chapter 72

Piper POVIzzy had a nap in the woods, unaware that she was missing, and Brad opened the Luna Suite door to find her peacefully sleeping. Izzy, Brad’s aunt, was unhappy about it and mind-linked to Piper, asking her not to do it again. Piper explained that she just fell asleep, and Izzy revealed that she was told by Eddie that witches are real too. However, Piper knew that they were, and it wasn’t a surprise to her.

Brad and Brandon, Piper’s son, sat down to discuss the pack initiation, which Brandon had overheard before. Brad explained that it would make Piper a part of the pack, and Brandon asked if that meant he would have to live there. Piper responded that it was still in the air. Brandon then asked what Piper wanted, and Piper admitted that it was still uncertain. The conversation turned to the mind-link between Brad and Piper, which would allow them to communicate with each other anytime. Brandon was hesitant, and Piper explained that it would hurt for a moment, but they would feel more connected to each other afterwards.

Unscentable Chapter 73

Brad, Piper’s Mate and Luna, stated her pledge to him, but with a slight modification, which didn’t bother him. He understood why she hesitated to finish her pledge, as she wasn’t yet ready to acknowledge their bond. His whole unit was present to witness their moment, and when she made that adjustment, he knew it only meant he had to wait a little longer. Luna, future Luna, meant the same thing, and he was happy to wait. Brad was thrilled that Brandon accepted him right away and that he could track his mother’s location through their connection.

Brad and his unit were discussing Piper’s reluctance to answer phone calls and feeling overwhelmed by the attention their relationship was receiving. Brad offered to let her use his office to make some calls in private, but Piper declined, stating that her office was in Portland. He suggested they take a step back and suggested showing her and Brandon around the pack headquarters that afternoon. As they walked away, Brad used a mind-link to inform Izzy that she should handle the press calls, as Piper was dealing with the attention. Brad offered to help Piper with contracts and business matters, but she declined, stating that she had a lawyer and preferred to handle her business the way she had always done. Brad respected her wishes, noting that she was used to doing things on her own, and agreed to stay out of her business.

Unscentable Chapter 74

Bradley, the pack’s Alpha, sat behind his desk when both Cooper, his Beta, and Hadley, his sister, walked in. Hadley, an Alpha-blooded female, was visibly annoyed and shot Bradley a defiant gaze. Bradley was not pleased and threatened to punish them for their “indiscretion.” Hadley refused to back down, even when faced with the possibility of being put on the shaming post. She made it clear that she was not afraid of Bradley and would fight him if necessary.

The situation escalated when Hadley pointedly accused Bradley of being a hypocrite, citing his own behavior as Alpha and his lack of restraint with she-wolves. She made a passionate defense of her own right to choose her s$$$$l partners, regardless of their status within the pack. The tension in the room reached a boiling point, with both Bradley and Hadley’s Alpha blood raging out of control. Their father burst into the room, ordering Hadley to leave and reminding Bradley to calm down. The meeting ended with Hadley’s defiant statement, “I’ll do what I want, and you can’t stop me.”
