Read Omega’s Possession by Jessica Hall Book 2 Chapter 17 – Thane POV
I had just gotten Harlow settled in the den and was coming up the stairs when I heard Leo’s voice speaking quietly to Elaine. “I suppose I should go retake my seat and await my death on my mighty throne,” Leo chuckles. Raidon growls at him, and I climb the last three steps. “Why? Like, I know you are part of Corbin’s pack and all, but after what you did, I am sure all that can be forgotten.” …………. SUI “Somehow, Elaine, I doubt Thane will suddenly forget I killed his mother,” Leo tells her, just as I step into the hall across from the kitchen.
Leo turns to head back toward me, stepping past Elaine, when he pauses with a gasp, and Raidon jumps. Leo’s eyes looked down, and it took me a second to process what I saw. Elaine gasped. I hadn’t even seen her move. One second, she was drying her hands on the tea towel.
The next, she had plunged a knife into his ribs. I watch as Elaine stagger back at what she did. Like stabbing him was a mere knee-jerk ISU Torta reaction. One she had no control over. Leo coughs, glancing down. I stood there, stunned. I was supposed to kill him, but I struggled with the idea of him dying for some reason.
Raidon, sensing that, rushes over to him. Grabbing tea towels and placing pressure on the wound. ” Mom!” Raidon growls, snapping Elaine out of her thoughts. “He killed her,” she says, stunned. She blinks, takes a step back, and nearly falls over her own feet.
I spring into action to catch her, the movement pulling me out of my stunned state. Once Elaine is steady, I move to help Raidon. Something not only Raidon is shocked about, but myself. Leo killed my mother, murdered her brutally, yet he saved my mate and daughter.
He saved them, and now I suddenly couldn’t bring myself to want him dead. “Elaine, grab the first aid kit!” I snap at her, and robotically, she rushes off while Leo clutches the countertop. “Just rip the damn thing out.
I’ll heal. Pretty sure she missed anything important,” he let out a pained wheeze. >> “Help me get him to the chair,’ Raidon says. Growling, I grab his arm, tossing it over my shoulder. Raidon gets the other as we both grab a handful of his pants, hauling him out to the seat in the living room.
“Oh, for f***k’s sake, at least pull the damn knife out before I take my royal throne of death,” Leo hisses at me, and with one quick yank, Leo groans when Raidon rips it out before replacing the pressure back. Moments later, Elaine rushes in, looking quite lost. “Raidon snatched it from her, and SAMS she backed away while Raidon set to work.
His wounds were healing slower than normal from all the fighting today. “Harlow?” Leo asks, clearly needing a distraction. “She’s fine,” I tell him. I may not want to kill him, but I haven’t forgiven him enough to make small talk. “Move, let me do it,” Elaine snaps, seeing Raidon fumble. She pushes him aside.
“You haven’t got another knife, have you? I expected that from him, not you. You should be about saving The MS — ILOT lives, not taking them. Playing grim reaper doesn’t suit you, Elaine.” “I could say the same about you, Leo.
But she was my best friend,” Elaine says, still trying to process what she did and clearly in the same torn mental state as me. Raidon sets to restrain him again and stands back. I watch Elaine work for a few minutes before checking on my mates.
However, when I returned, Elaine was still stitching him up and Raidon was questioning him. “So Bree is how Talon got involved with Corbin?” Raidon asked. They both look over at me as I move AMS NO across the room, taking a seat in the armchair. Harlow was in her den, yet I still hadn’t held our daughter, I tried.
Harlow even offered her to me, but I was terrified of breaking her, breaking her like I did her mother. “You’re looking rather conflicted there, Thane.” Leo states and my eyes flick to the ba***rd who killed my mother. His hands were restrained again while Elaine now patched him up. She, too, was also conflicted.
“Because killing you doesn’t seem IMS right now,” I growl. Annoyed, I wanted nothing more than to destroy the person responsible for my mother’s death, yet now I know she would curse me for it after what he just did. “We are even. Just get my daughter back from Corbin, okay?” Leo sighs heavily, clearly content with his death. I shake my head.
It was no longer that simple. Besides, I wanted to hear what he had to say about Bree and Talon. Ignoring what he said, I ask. “What were you and Raidon talking about?” AMS Raidon answers, making me look at him. “How Talon got mixed up in this mess with Corbin.”
I turn my attention back to Leo. Leo groans before letting out a breath. “When Talon fell into some financial trouble, she introduced him to Corbin,” Leo answers. “But how does Corbin know Bree?” Raidon asks. “Did she meet him Tal’s?” Leo shakes his head. “No, but damn, that caused some troubles, her father went right off.
A few months back, we were invited to this gig. She was holding some glory hole event, and she said there was some Omega girl there. Anyway, I guess she backed out. If it weren’t for her birthmark, he wouldn’t have recognized Bree. And let me tell you, did that cause some conflict?” Leo chuckles.
“What’s that got to do with anything? You said Corbin didn’t meet her at Talon’s?” I ask, confused because he was contradicting himself. “No, Corbin knew Bree from the Omega sanctuary.” I look at Raidon, now more confused than ever. “Bree is Beta,” I tell him. MSU “What? No, she isn’t.
Bree is Omega, she just never bloomed, one of those oddities,” I lean forward in my chair, trying to take what he said in. Nothing makes sense. She told us she was Beta, not that Betas have an overly powerful scent, and she was constantly dousing herself in the Pheromones for work.
Despite that, surely Talon would know if his girlfriend was Omega or not? “Wait…” Raidon looks at me confused, like he didn’t know what he was asking or needs confirmation he heard right to. Even I was just as confused.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
MSU “And let me tell you, the look of horror on her face when she realized her father attended the glory hole gig was priceless. He looked like he was going to kill her.” Leo chuckles. “Whose daughter?” I ask. “This is why it caused conflict between Curtis and Corbin.
We didn’t know she was his daughter until he saw the birthmark on her hip.” “Whose daughter?” Raidon asks before I get a chance to. “Curtis’s, who else? Corbin hasn’t got any kids. The girl needs therapy. *** AMS I know Corbin isn’t her real uncle, but damn, that shit was still gross when we found out about Curtis’s dirty little secret.’ ”
“Wait, Bree is Curtis Black’s daughter?” I ask again, wondering if I heard that right. “Yes, I just said that, didn’t I? Are you not listening to anything I just said? But don’t worry, no one slept with her, thank the goddess.” Leo shudders. I shudder, too, at the mere thought.
“But you bet your a*s Curtis kicked her a*s from one end of the club to the other when he found out it was her laying on that table. Poor girl, it wasn’t her fault. She wasn’t to know she was offering herself up to her father and uncle.
We didn’t even know she was his!” Raidon clutches his hair, and I sit back in my chair, absolutely blown away by the information we just got. “I can’t believe this,” Raidon mutters. “So Black never told Corbin he fathered a daughter?” “Nope, we did ask why. But never got an answer,”
