Alphas Possession

Omega’s Possession by Jessica Hall Chapter 1 Book 2

I quickly raced upstairs using the back stairwell to change and quickly shower, not wanting another run-in with Elaine However, when I was showering, I could hear shouting downstairs. Thane was losing his mind at someone; I had a sneaky suspicion it was Raidon. Or maybe Elaine. Regardless, I took my time, dreading going downstairs and facing the woman. I hoped Thane meant what he said, that he would get rid of her if she became too much. I did not feel like arguing with that woman or my mates.Grabbing the hair dryer, I quickly dry my hair before pulling it into a bun. I hope they weren’t expecting a prim, proper Omega because I looked quite the opposite in my purple pajamas with tiny wolves and my rainbow socks. Choosing comfort over the look, if I had to endure this woman, I was doing it comfortably.Making my way downstairs, the arguing had stopped, and I moved toward the kitchen for once, preferring Thane’s presence over everyone else’s; he was muttering under his breath angrily about Raidon. Stepping into the kitchen, I helped Thane. He nudges me,“ Are you okay with this, because if you aren’t, I have no problem throwing them out,” he tells me.“It’s fine, as long as she doesn’t overstep. If you guys can ensure she keeps her distance, I can stomach this for an hour or two.

I took a big breath and got my game face on as best as possible. Thane used his calling to help me relax, kissing the top of my head, “Just say the word, and I’ll make them leave.”Thane and I set the table up, and I could hear Elaine’s voice as Raidon tried to bring her down from coming into the dining room to help, “ Mom! Let Thane and Harlow handle it. Let her get used to the idea of you being here.” Elaine began to protest to the point of insistence,” Sweetheart, it’s no trouble at all; I still know how to be an Omega, you know, just….” Raidon cut her off, “Mom. I said no. Leave them be; she has been through enough. Don’t you think?”I could tell after he said that it made her finally back down. I don’t know what she thought coming in here to help would prove. She has helped enough as far as I was concerned, especially helping almost get me killed or put on rotation. Just thinking about it started to make my blood boil. Thane put his hand on my hip, sensing the shift in my mood.

When I looked up to meet his eyes, he motioned to my hand, holding a fork. Well, it was a fork. Now it was bent metal that used to be a fork. I blink, not realizing I was taking my frustration out on the cutlery.thane grips my hand, prying it from between my fingertips and holding it up. “Hmm, maybe I should give you a spoon?” he chuckles, pocketing the mangled fork. I purse my lips and continue to set the table. Thane made Lasagna for dinner, and we had just set the table; I was debating where to sit when Thane nodded to where be usually sits at the head of the table and tell him that, “But that is where you always sit,” he shrugs, but at least it would be furthest from everyone, and I would feel better knowing I wasn’t next to Raidon’s parents, “Oh, the napkins,” I tell Thane, quickly ducking back out to the kitchen as everyone started coming from the living room. Ignoring them and moving to grab them from the third drawer where he also kept the tea towels. Grabbing the silky off-white fabric, I shut the drawer and turned only to run into Elaine’s open arms. I freeze as she hugs me, my heart nearly leaping out of my chest, not just from her hugging me but from not seeing her come up behind me. I stand there awkwardly, frozen to the spot when she holds me at arm’s length, her face beaming as she smiles, rubbing my arms, her eyes moving to my huge round belly. “I am so excited and glad we are finally past everything,” she says, smoothing her hands over my belly.

me from wanting to strangle her, her hands touching and fussy over my belly as she gushed excitedly. It just made me madder that we were going to pretend that only a few weeks ago she wasn’t ordering Thane to kill me.Arms wrap around me from the side, Rhen’s familiar scent cloaking around me as he tugs me to him

just saying hello; I wasn’t – ” Rhen tucks me closer to him, his scent slowing my heart’s racing as he presses his lips to my temple. Elaine, remember your place. You of all people should know better,” Rhen adds, letting me escape under his arm as I move to the dining room. Leon is in front of me, talking to Raidon’s father. I stop, almost running into the back of the man as he explains something with some enthusiastic hand gestures. The man was tall, roughly the same height as Raidon, though his features were surprisingly softer, I half expected him to have the same brooding features that Raidon

fingertips, staring at me and not letting go. “One word,” he says, and I nod just as Elaine comes in with Charles. She stops when she sees me, looking at her husband. I’m sorry if I made you uncomfortable, Harlow, and I’m also sorry about everything else that has happened. Please know that I am not usually such a sour old grape,”
