Thane growls and pushes him aside, only for Raidon to grab him and slam him against the wall. Leon gets up, standing on the bed as Raidon holds him there. We all know who would win if Thane decides to take the challenge. Thane is our Alpha for a reason.
He was the strongest of us before we submitted to him, and now that he has our blood in his veins and has marked us, he is far more than just an Alpha. The man is lethal. Raidon knows this, but he doesn’t seem to care when it comes to Harlow. Thane, recognizing how much he would have to hurt Raidon to make him submit, relaxes in his hold.
“I am not your enemy; I am your fucking mate,” Thane snaps at him. I watch as Raidon leans closer, so their chests are almost touching.
“And so is she,” he snarls before shoving off him.
Raidon steps back from him, but not too far. Thane could pass him easily if he wanted to.
“So, we just let her go? Let her run with our daughter?” he says before cursing under his breath.
“She wouldn’t have to run if you could control that damn temper of yours,” I tell him.
“Temper? She killed my mother!”
“I don’t think she did. You have a lot of enemies, Thane, and it was no secret that your mother was leaving to pick up our Omega. It was plastered on the front page of every newspaper that we were caught bidding in the Omega Auctions,” Leon tells him. He had a point about that. It was plastered everywhere, but no one knew whether or not we won the Auction.
“You need to bring her back. Now!” Thane roars.
“We can’t. We don’t know where she went,” Leon says slowly, emphasizing every word. Yet I have a vague idea of where she might be.
“Fuck! You know she won’t come back, right?” he says, kicking the chair beside him. It flies across the room and into the dresser, narrowly missing Raidon.
“Calm down. She will come back,” I tell him, and he scoffs. “She will. We marked her. The bond will pull her back here, but if you can’t control yourself, she will only run again,” I tell him.
“As if I would give her a third chance to run from me again,” he snaps, and Raidon growls at him.
“When it comes to Harlow, that is no longer your decision,” Leon says, jumping off the bed.
“Excuse me?”
“You fucked everything up. You are the reason she tried to run.”
“And you let her!” Thane screams at him.
“Because she is not a piece of fucking property to be owned!”
“Well, she sure fucking cost me enough!” Thane yells, and Raidon punches him. His head whips to the side at the force. I move quickly, knowing Thane will come up swinging. I’m right, his fist stopping just shy of my face as I force myself between them.
“Everyone needs to calm down,” I say.
“No. He needs to leave before I fucking kill him,” Thane growls in warning, and I swallow. Raidon’s heat seeps into my back before he storms off.
“Where are you going?” Leon asks him.
“To my parents',” Raidon replies, slamming the bedroom door behind him.
I rub my temples at the mess our lives have become. Leon clicks his tongue, making me look over at him.
“If you want Raidon gone, then I’m going too,” Leon tells him. Thane growls, but doesn’t stop him.
“Those idiots want to believe her lies,” Thane snarls, and I press my lips in a line.
“Even if she did do it, Thane, would you really kill the mother of our child? Or put her in rotation?” I ask him. His answer is quick, and I can feel he means every word.
“Yes. She doesn’t deserve to be a mother after killing mine,” he tells me. My eyebrows raise before I nod.
“I was hoping for a different answer, but you are truly blinded by hate for something we aren’t even sure she did,” I tell him.
