Alphas Possession

Chapter 54

Raidon watches Leon and clears his throat awkwardly, and at first, I didn’t understand until I heard Rhen arguing with Thane by the elevator. The worry I had about Jake was short-lived, knowing I now had to deal with an angry Alpha.

“It’s not her fault,” Rhen growls, and Leon jumps away from me. Raidon peers down the hall toward the small lobby before his eyes dart to me nervously.

“She tried to leave and has no trouble controlling herself around us. She is bloody lucky she didn’t send him into a rut!” Thane roared. I blinked, and my stomach sank. Was everything in there for the sake of Jake challenging him?

His fury was written all over his face when he suddenly appeared in the doorway to the kitchenette. “If you pull that shit again, L… will hand you over to the authorities,” Thane snarled at me, and I took a step back. I swallowed down the sickening feeling that was clogging my throat.

“Fucking Omega’s! You and your stupid fucking hormones making you act like a-”

“Enough, Thane. Don’t get your shit with Harlow and Jake mixed up with Zara. She was fucking scared of him not throwing herself at him,” Raidon snapped at him and his hand moved quickly to grip his arm when he went to step into the room. Instinctively, 1 step back from the fuming Alpha, Leon’s chest brushed up against my back, and Thane’s eyes glared daggers at him when his arm slipped around my waist…

“Get back to work!” he growls at us before storming off. Yet I was still stuck on what Raidon meant by his strange words. That was the first time I had met Jake, and I hated the man. He was responsible for killing my sister so how could he think I was throwing myself at him?

“He’ll calm down. Obsidian Pack Alpha always sets him off. Don’t take it personally,” Leon murmurs behind me before squeezing my arms and following after Raidon. Rhen sighs, wandering off also, leaving me alone in the kitchenette now more shaken than ever.l Especially, now knowing I had to go home with Thane while he is like this at the end of the day. I chew my lip as I turn back to the coffee machine to stop it from quivering.

He just abused me for something I have no control over, and yet my stupid omega instincts were telling me to go in there and beg at his feet for his forgiveness.

One thing I was becoming aware of was how my instincts were becoming harder to ignore, and I don’t think my suppressants would work at all soon, even if I had them.

The serum I now officially knew was very active and alive in my system still. I was acclimating to Thane and his pack, even if I didn’t want to. Their constant presence only proved how impossible it would be to hide who I am from them, and now I was debating whether to tell them the truth.

But what if it angered them? I needed to leave anyway, but I may not have that chance if Thane kills me. But what if he forgave me for running and listened? What if I could stay? And I wanted to stay here. I could have a pack, something I never wanted but found myself suddenly wanting. I wanted them, and it was becoming harder to ignore. Unfortunately, I am not even sure if I could bring myself to leave, yet staying was becoming dangerous.

I had just finished making more coffee for everyone. Walking from each of their offices, I stopped at Thane’s and knocked. My mug and his shook on the tiny tray. Somehow, I couldn’t stop the fear from wrapping around me, yet I wasn’t sure if I was scared of having to leave or afraid of wanting to stay. Maybe both, maybe neither at all. All lines were officially blurred, and no path seemed correct.

“Come in,” I heard him call out, and I sucked in a deep breath. My hands were sweating as I fought every instinct to run in and beg, or run away. Slipping inside, Thane was typing away at his laptop but sat back when I placed his coffee cup beside him. He sighed, watching me, and I turned to leave when his hand gripped my wrist, making every muscle in my body tense.

He leaned across, grabbing the tray from my hand and setting it down as he swiveled in his chair, pulling me to stand between his legs. “I’m sorry, Zara, I didn’t mean to take my anger out on you,” he murmurs.

“It’s fine,” I tell him. What else could I say? He makes it perfectly clear the only reason I am here is that his mates seem to want me around. Thane sighs, letting my wrist go, and I swiftly grab the tray and my coffee heading for the door and away from him.
