Page 92 of Alpha’s Possession

I was about to tell her that she’s fired and not welcome near us or Harlow. How dare she? To think that we would just toss our Omega aside for her. I grit my teeth while she paws at him, disgusted, not just with her but with Thane for not immediately putting her in her place. Fuck what the media says!

With a growl, I climb into the car. I grab Harlow, dragging her limp body out. Thane growls, and Raidon rushes toward Leon's car, opening the door.

"Leon, now!" I order, and he rushes after us. Raidon climbs in the back of the car, and I pass her to him before jumping in the driver's side.

"What are you doing?" Thane snarls.

"If you are willing to entertain the idea of her, then sleep by yourself," I snap at him before slamming the door shut just as Leon slides into the passenger seat. Thane's anger burns through the bond, but I don't care. I tear out of there and head back to the hotel.

When we arrive back at the hotel, I open the back door so Raidon can climb out with her. He carries her to the room. I open the door as she starts to come to. The moment she does, she throws up all over him. Raidon curses, looking up at the ceiling.

"I’ll get the shower going," Leon says, rushing into the bathroom.

"Sorry," Harlow mumbles, almost incoherently. "I don't usually drink," she slurs.

"I can tell. It is fine. Go back to sleep," Raidon tells her, letting his Calling slip out, lulling her to sleep with its calming effect. Raidon walks into the bathroom and sits on the edge of the tub. I help him to peel off her dress and strip her bare, while Leon tries to clean up the mess she made of Raidon's shirt.

Once she’s naked, I strip my own clothes off before taking her, so Raidon can undress. He definitely needs a shower now. I step into the shower with her, sitting on the recess while Raidon grabs the removable shower head and starts rinsing his chest.

"So gross," he says, quickly washing.

"She didn't mean it," Leon is quick to defend.

"I know. It doesn't make it any less gross, though," Raidon tells him before grabbing the soap and rinsing her with the showerhead. We wash her quickly, and Leon grabs towels as we take turns holding her while we get changed and try to dry her off. We give up on dressing her and just place her in bed naked.

Leon moves to shower himself, closing the door behind him. I climb in bed, laying behind her with Raidon on her other side.

"What now?" Raidon asks.

"We have a meeting in the morning, but I don't care about that. We need to fire Sarah; I don't want Thane making things worse by keeping her around."

Raidon nods his head before rolling into her.

"I also need to speak to my mother, so I can get Harlow's test results," he tells me, and I nod before reaching behind me and flicking off the lamp on my side of the bed, leaving only Raidon's on. When Leon gets out of the shower, I can feel his burning hunger. He needs blood, but as he peers down at her sleeping form between us, he shakes his head.

"Leon?" Raidon asks, tilting his head to the side. We all know now that he feeds on her. She will always be his go-to.

"I can wait," he says, but instead of climbing into bed with us, he moves toward the couch. I know he doesn't want to risk feeding on her while she sleeps. Not that he hasn't before, but I can feel after everything with Thane tonight, Leon doesn't want to take anything from her without her consent.

"If you get uncomfortable, you have us, Leon," I remind him, and he nods, grabbing the spare blanket and pillow, before climbing onto the couch farthest away from her.

Chapter Seventy-Two

~Harlow~

I awake to the sound of one of their phones ringing loudly. I have a wicked hangover, and the room's bright lights burn my eyes as I squint up at the ceiling. My eyes widen, and I sit up abruptly, half in a panic that I’ll find myself locked in the Den. Relief washes over me when I find myself back at the hotel.

"Yeah, we know. We are on our way," I hear Rhen tell presumably Thane. Raidon comes out of the bathroom, trying to fix his tie.

"Here," I tell him, tossing my legs over the side of the bed, ignoring the nausea that bubbles in my empty stomach and has me wanting to run to the bathroom.

Raidon wanders over to me, yanking the tie off, and I stand on my tippy toes to quickly fix it for him while his hands move to my hips.

"How are you feeling?" he asks.

"Fine," I tell him, though my neck stings. Tears try to brim at the memory of the woman’s scent all over them and then seeing her. I know it is foolish with what I am planning to do on Friday, yet all the same it still hurts.

Thane has made it clear he doesn't want me, and he has overall rank when it comes to decisions in the pack. I know it. They know it. Waiting for him to come around is foolish. He won't even give me the time of day to explain. And as much as they claim to be on my side, I can still feel that they don’t believe me. I feel their distrust of me, so it is pointless.
