Unscentable

Chapter 51 - Unscentable

Bradley POV

 His eyes opened, he knew he'd fallen asleep, due to the fact that he had no idea what had actually woken him, he was just suddenly alert. Moved his eyes towards Piper, still unconscious. Her scent had lulled him into sleep, couldn't help but be happy about that. He could still actually smell her. Tuned his wolfs hearing to her, her heart rate was slow and steady, seemed a bit stronger than before. 

A good thing.Moved his eyes to Brandon, only to find the boy lying there with a hand curled around his mother's arm, but his brilliant blue green eyes looking right up at him, he smiled gently at the boy."Alpha."Brad's eyes moved to the doorway. It was Cooper, he was standing there leaning on the door smiling at him, likely what had woken him, his Beta calling him from sleep "where about to land in Hawaii.""Alright." he nodded to Cooper.He had not intended to fall asleep next to her, but it seemed he had, and had slept the entire flight, settled completely by her scent, saw Cooper step back and close the door."Where are we?" Brandon asked him."On a private jet, Brandon. We had to leave in a hurry," he answered the boy honestly."Why?"Bradley's eyes moved back to Piper; her wounds were all covered at this point. Sighed, he had no idea if the boy had any knowledge of otherworldly creatures. "Would you come sit here?" he held his hands out for the boy to come to him.Watched him just frown, didn't seem exactly comfortable with the idea, he could see it. Then, after a solid minute, he got up, and stepped over Piper and allowed Bradley to settle him in his lap. It was the first time he'd gotten to hold his own son.

 He could even feel how happy Benson was with how the boy and his wolf came to them. They could form a bond. His wolf knew it."Your mum, she got in a fight last night."Watched as his eyes went really wide as he sat there and stared up at Bradley "When?"How did he explain that she'd up and left all of them, including him. Couldn't say it like that and he knew it. "She went for a run, came across a vampire."Felt tension in the boy right away and his eyes shot to his mother."She's alright. Though...lots of wounds, it took us a while to find her, she didn't tell anyone she was going out.""Likes to run." he heard Brandon stated softly, turned his eyes back to Bradley. "Will she wake up?""Yes, but...I don't know when." he told him and hoped he was right. "Likely she's not going to be happy waking up, in an unknown place.""Where are we going?""Home."That got Brandon's attention. "Home?""My home." Bradley clarified for him "She needs a proper wolfen hospital, not a human one."Watched as the boy frowned for a long time, he felt the plane start to descend for landing. "Brandon, you can say anything or ask anything you want to me. If you or Aspen have questions, just ask. I will answer you." he tried to reassure the boy. 

They were on the ground before the boy spoke "Mum said, she'd never go back." his eyes looked up at Bradley and he could see real worry in them."I understand that. I'm not sure what she told you, but I will make sure things are different for her...Can I ask you something?"He nodded."Can you smell her? Aspen, I mean, that she is a wolf.""Yes, why?" he asked, confused."Because no one else can. I couldn't until last night, when I found her." he admitted to the boy.Saw him tilt his head and frown, then look down at his mother for a long time, it was Aspen that turned and looked back at him "Mate?" he asked.Bradley blinked, as the boys' wolf spoke directly to him. This was the first time, Benson was up and all ears himself, watching their son full of curiosity."Yes." Bradley nodded "I didn't know, all this time Aspen, till now. I only scented her...when I smelled her blood." Bradley knew the boys wolf had likely been trying to make sense of everything since they'd met him. "What did she tell you?""Bond broken, one sided.""It was," Bradley nodded sadly "I had no idea for a very long time.""Causes pain."Bradley sighed "A lot of pain for her Aspen. I want to fix this, need to fix this. I am trying to. I have laid claim to her, though." his eyes moved to her "She doesn't know this, was unconscious, still is."
