Unscentable
Chapter 55

Eddie POV Watching Izzy contain Aspen, he didn't even see so much as a scratch on the woman, not one tiny little nick, all of Aspen's claws had retracted in fact, to make sure that he didn't hurt her. They loved her, he realised, way more than he'd thought, as much as their own mother in all likelihood. He had not even survived unscathed, little Aspen was a ball of fury. The moment he'd seen Brad come into that plane's bedroom to collect Piper, he had not liked being separated from his mother at all.

Aspen and Brandon were calmer, and much so, with Izzy holding on to him, though watching her was a curiosity in itself. He had seen her snarl at both him and Cooper, even Timbers' head had been whipped up when she had done so back in Hawaii. Then to see her bow down here in the pack hospital, at Aspens Alpha Aura, he was rolling out of him unchecked at any and all wolves that he was seeing, all those wolves had freaked the poor kid out completely.

Izzy had bared her neck and then dropped right down on to her knees. It was not a human thing to do, though she was crying in pain from it, that was a human thing, he'd still be trying to contain the boy himself, from lashing out at the other wolves around him. All his claws were back out, and Izzy, though had been able to contain him at the airport, just stepped back away from him inside the pack.

She knew on pure instinct she was not going to be able to contain him, he couldn't help her and all the pack members at the same time while trying to hold on to the furious Alpha pup in his arms. He had tried to use a hand to push her away and out of the Aura, but found she was just outside of his reach.

Thankfully, Brad had come back and talked to the boy, redirected his attention and the boy's wolfs Aura had been solely directed at Brad himself, something he could clearly handle, unlike some of the wolves inside the hospital and Izzy herself, he had two nurses bared to him and Izzy on the ground.

Eddie stepped away from Brandon, there was nothing more he could do. Brad was going to have to deal with his son on his own, so he knelt down and picked her up off the floor the moment she was released from Aspen.

Watched as Brad had walked off with a still fighting Aspen, he'd taken two hits from his own sons wolf, all claws out and Eddie doubted very much this would be the only thing the man got. He knew Brad would not want to hurt the boy, so he had taken the hits without so much as a thought of punishing the boy, couldn't do it, would only build animosity between them and ruin any chance of a proper bond.

Izzy had looked up at him, and then just stepped right into him, hugged him to herself, not even said anything at all about what had just happened. Seemed to be just relieved to get up off the floor. It was odd, he was expecting her to be in excruciating pain, in need of medical attention even, but there was no blood dripping from her nose or ears, she didn't hold her head as though she had the worst headache in the entire world.

Neither had she been rendered unconscious either, it was very odd.

It didn't seem like she needed a doctor at all, and when he asked her if she was alright, she'd just nodded and stated "I'm okay." not an ounce of pain in her, it was odd to say the least. Cooper had come down the hall some time later and told him he had to take Izzy up to his room and keep her there at Brads' order for now.

Eddie didn't mind the idea, and would love to have her all to himself for days on end, but he was curious as to why the order so had asked, but via the mind-link, in case it was not something he wanted Izzy to hear.

'She's not entirely human Eddie, had come the reply.

'She is of no threat, Cooper. I might need her to contain Aspen late!

I am aware of that, just for now is all, till we understand what she is.

'Alright. Eddie hadn't really argued with the Beta, and being alone with Izzy was no chore for him or Timber for that matter. Liked being alone with her.

Smiled to himself, she was going to sleep like a baby after they were done with her. Heard Timber chortle inside his mind and knew his wolf was more than happy about being locked in a room with their little human, not So human Mate.

His wolf felt something different about her too, likely she would turn on the next full moon. But as to what even Timber wasn't so certain of, though he did not care, only that he was going to have a counterpart himself to mate in shifted form, that excited him a lot. Though he had loved Mating Izzy in their human form and had been well satisfied by her, it was always nice for their wolf to have their own shifter Mate.

They had not gotten to Mate Izzy on the full moon and he had known that she'd wanted to, she had been the one to instigate everything that night. If Piper had not run off, he and Timber would have let her Mate the hell out of them with all she'd had for as long as she had wanted to. Would have loved every damned minute of it, even knew she'd wanted to be in control. Likely would have let her, he supposed, though Timber snorted at that idea he was a very dominant wolf, liked to be in full control had loved dominating Izzy. He walked her out of the pack hospital and to the pack-house. It was only next door, a short 5 minute walk across the front of the pack-house, watched her look around and smiled at her curiosity, heard her say "That's a nice hotel," "Not a hotel." Eddie informed her. "It's the pack-house, where all the ranked members live, if they want to. You and I have a suite on the top floor."

Watched her look up to the top floor, the pack-house was only 3 storeys high, it was made of black brick and had black marbled coloums out the front by the entrance, everything inside was ultra modern and kept updated with new technologies, the floors were all black marble tiles now, the walls were a soft cream to keep it from being to dark. Bradley had replaced all the windows two years ago with single pane glass, gave great views of the pack from wherever anyone stood, none of them actually opened, were all double insulated for the cold winter months.

They were not so large a pack that they needed a massive building for a pack-house. It housed only 60 members, most preferred to live in the low rise apartments built around the town, dotted around the lake, or in actual single dwellings with their family's. "What?" she'd brought her eyes back to him.

"It's where we will live," he smiled right down at her". We have a whole house up there. So to speak, a 4 bedroom apartment you'll love it. Come on. I can't show you around the pack right now, but will do the minute get permission." "Permission?"

"Yes." Eddie nodded to her, sighed just a little "Just you and me for now, that will likely change when Piper wakes up. She'll over rule Bradley in your regard, I imagine."

"Wait, what? I thought Bradley always got what he wanted?" sarcasm had dripped off the last part of the sentence.

"Please Izzy, don't speak like that. Do you recall what happened the last time you decided to yell at Brad?"

She said nothing, but he could sense her anger on the rise. She was still mad at the man for always getting his way. It would seem that way to her, she didn't yet understand the wolfen ways or laws. He might as well spend this time with her educating her on their rules and respect and who it must be shown to. Hope that she would understand.

He walked her up the three flights of stairs to the top floor, where he heard her mutter "don't you have an elevator?"

Chuckled softly, "Yes baby we do, I just thought, the stair would give you a chance to see the pack-house in all its glory."

"Oh," was her only remark.

"We'll use the elevator next time." he laughed and walked her down the corridor, and rounded the corner to go down to the Alpha and Alpha's Unit quarters, only to find both his parents standing outside the door to his very suite. They both glanced at him briefly, smiling, then their eyes turned to Izzy. He saw his mother smile so very big and clutch at his father's arm.

Felt Izzy's eyes on him, "My parents," he told her.

Then they were on her. His mother Tia, was pulling the girl right in for a big hug and telling her how very happy she was to meet her, that she was glad she'd forgiven him for being a bit of a brute. Saw Izzy shrug it off with a chuckle herself.

His father was a bit more reserved and shook the woman's hand, but greeted her warmly with a big happy smile. He shooed them away a few minutes later.

"They seem nice." she smiled up at him as they walked into his suite, their suite now.

"They love you already." he smiled right back at her.

"Does everyone just accept complete strangers around here?"

"No, but Mate's yes. Your family now and not just to me, but to everyone, respect will be given to you automatically."

"Because of who you are? Right!" she was frowning at him now.

He nodded, wasn't going to lie to her about that one. "You will make friends of your own. Though I will introduce you to Betsie, Harry's Mate, and well, you have Piper already. Just waiting for Cooper to find his Mate, you are now part of the Luna's unit." "What's a Luna's Unit?"

"Piper is now the Luna to this pack. Her right as Brads Mate. She is in charge as much as he is now. Usually, Izzy, you would hang out with the Alpha's unit's mates, a close knit group, Like Brad and us boys."

"So Cooper doesn't have a Mate?" she asked him.

"No, only Harry actually did, until we tracked Piper down and well." he pulled her right into his arms "now I have you." he growled playfully at her.

Saw her smile right up at her, even smelled her arousal bloom, she really did like it when they growled at her.

"Are you always this..."

"Yes," he laughed. "I will always be a horny animal for you, will never say no to you, ever."

Saw her laugh up at him, and there it was that slight flicker in her eyes, just a brilliance behind the brown, a slight glow of her own, no colour at this point, but come the full moon there likely would be. I Felt Timber all happy inside of him. "Can we shower and freshen up from the long flight?

"Yes indeed we can." he grinned right at her, and steered her through their living area, and into their bedroom. Stood and watched her look around. Their suite was large with aqua blue and soft grey furnishings.

He was very partial to the colour ague blue. Their bedroom was large and had a big wooden four-poster bed in the centre of the room, a large walk-in and an en-suite. There was a soft grey two-seater couch by the window and it had a nice sized balcony with an outdoor setting. Not that he used it, usually only came in here to sleep.

Watched her head over to the bedside table and tilt her head at the sight of handcuffs on it. Picked them up and dangled them from one finger and turned to look at him questioningly.

Eddie laughed "Not what you think, I often have to haul unruly wolves to the cells in those." his smile could not be hidden though, it was a nice idea. "Unless you want me to." a smirk played on his l!ps, even Timber liked the idea. Watched her drop them back on the bedside table and shake her head 'no'. Pity he thought, but waved her towards their bathroom, she went willingly, even allowed him to undress her and pulled her into the shower with him.

Was laughing near the whole time, as she pushed his hands away and slapped at him to stop him from touching her while she tried to shower. Eddie was actually enjoying her trying to fend him off, though he was not going to be deterred by her. He wanted her, and it was all too clear for her to see. Though she did seem to be enjoying shoving him away from her naked body and telling him 'no' her tone implied she was just teasing and tormenting him, wanting him to wait.

Then she had both his hands in hers and stated firmly "No, you touch when I tell you to."

Got his and Timbers undivided attention, he knew he was smiling at her, watched her step out of the shower, one hand on his chest to keep him in there, then let go and shut the glass door on him, held it shut so he was on the inside.

Pressed her pretty pouty lips to the glass as she looked up at him, giggled happily when he and Timber growled all desire at her, winked right at him, then she was gone running b**t a*s naked from them, out of the bathroom, and they were after her a second later. Grabbed her around the waist and tossed her down on the bed. "Mine" he growled down at her as he dropped down on top of her, bloody woman enjoyed running away from him and his wolf, it seemed.

"Mine." she giggled right back, then her hands were in his hair and she was pulling his mouth to hers, kissed him hungrily and was arching up to him, moving her whole body against his "Eddie." she moaned a little later and he smiled down at her, knew what she wanted. Took her in one hard firm thrust and relished in the cry of pleasure that came from her. Loved that she wanted him so quickly, took all of him and his wolf for that matter.

Lay watching her sleep, the sun barely down in the sky, he'd spent the entire afternoon claiming what was his, as had timber. She was exhausted by them. She was laying right next to them, on her stomach, one hand on his arm, her face was relaxed in sleep, though he could see her eyes flicking under those eyelids, dreaming it would appear. She was such a cutie, leaned over and kissed her temple, both he and Timber were well sated by their Mate. They were going to have to talk to her about Marking her, so he could do so. Both he and Timber were certain she was going to let him, would just accept it, closed his eyes and relaxed in their bed. He was going to enjoy spending the rest of his life sleeping next to her.

All his instincts, on full alert for a threat, woke him.

His eyes snapped open into the darkness of the room, he couldn't feel Izzy next to him, turned his head to see where she was. She had been right there next to him when he'd fallen asleep. Her perfect scent of Maple trees with roasted chestnuts and that cold crisp smell of freshly fallen snow had lulled him easily to sleep.

He could still smell her, though right this minute he couldn't feel her next to him, and he knew why, when his eyes met brilliant glowing blue ones, that were staring right at him, it was Izzy, crouched on the bed next to him, but it was also not Izzy at the same time, her beast on the surface fully and likely for the first time ever.

"Baby?" he asked gently, though he did not make a move towards her.

There was a barely audible growl coming from her beast, as it crouched there and looked right at him, then it was on him, so very fast. Her mouth on his, kissing him, devouring his practically, so hot and hungry, brought a deep growl of desire from him, reached up to grab her. Oh, he wanted this creature as did Timber.

Her hands slammed down on his upper arms, pinning them down, stopping him from touching her, but she was grinding herself against him hard and fast. Felt Timber surge forward. This was his Mate and she was all aggression. Eddie had been rendered to the back of his mind to watch only.

Then it was suddenly a battle for dominance between his wolf and her beast. Despite her tiny human stature, the beast within her was strong and even Timber was having issues pinning her down. She was not having any of it. Wanted full control of the situation, was all snarls and growling down at Timber, shoving at him with all she had to keep him pinned down underneath her, and then she just mounted him and held him down the whole time to Mated him furiously, taking what she wanted from him, till her head was thrown back and she cried out in org*asm. Then just sagged down on top of him and sighed softly, contented it seemed.

'Timber?' Eddie finally asked his wolf. Now they were done.

"Wolf! he heard Timber state 'Good and strong."

'oh I got that.' Eddie nearly laughed out loud, as Timber receded and allowed him control again. He looked down at Izzy lying on top of his body, she was out cold, sound asleep already. 'Might want to talk to her.'

'My Mate.'

'Not Marked yet. Eddie commented and she wasn't.

'Mated by us both.' he heard Timber reply, uncaring about the seeming unnatural appearance of this creature, which should not have happened till she was Marked. Seemed to just accept it. It was odd. Humans, if being turned, usually wouldn't turn till after they were Marked, and then on the full moon after that happened.

Might have to look into that.

Sighed softly, as he felt Timber settle inside his mind, his own Mate had overpowered him and not for lack of his wolf trying to take control. She was just simply stronger than he was. It was possibly that his Izzy, had some sort of dormant ancient werewolf gene, he supposed, that could account for the sudden appearance, all the aggression Brad had gotten from her, as she was changing after being Mated by he and Timber, likely activated that dormant gene.

Wondered how Izzy felt, or would in the morning, to have her wolf override her without knowing what had happened, take full control and Mate the hell out of Timber. Hoped she would not freak out, though she had seen it plenty at this point. So maybe she would just be okay with it. He hoped so.

It was nearly four in the morning when Luna Lilly woke him, a mind-link for him to come to the hospital.

Piper was waking up and might be needed. He slipped from the bed and headed over there after pulling clothes on. Izzy didn't even budge, looked to be completely out of it. Locked his suite just in case she got up and went wandering off to find him. Didn't need that, though he was dead certain she wouldn't like being locked in, she did know she wasn't allowed free roam yet.
