Read Omega’s Possession by Jessica Hall Book 2 Chapter 18 – Thane POV
“Untie him!” I ordered Raidon.
Leo’s head turned to the side to look at me, as I rose from my seat.
Confusion crossed his features as Raidon set to freeing him, while I reached for my jacket hanging over the back of the couch.
“What’s going on?” Raidon asked, glancing at me over his shoulder while undoing Leo’s legs.
“We are going to see Bree, then Leo is helping me break into the sanctuary,” I announced, my eyes carefully following Raidon’s movements.
For as long as Leo was tied up and restrained, I didn’t have to worry about him. But now that he’ll be free of everything that held him back, there’s no saying what kind of tricks he might try to pull off. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
I could only hope he had an understanding about how dangerous it was to defy me, how much Leo was risking if he tried anything, but no one could know how far he would go.
Desperate times always called for desperate measures. Leo reminded me of a rat, forced into a dead- end. While others might admit defeat, this rat was so stubborn, it would die trying to find an escape rather than giving up. Yet I had one advantage, one I knew he wouldn’t risk. His daughter.
“You wanna what?” Raidon’s head snapped up, his hands clutching the ropes.
My eyes focused on Raidon’s back. The tension taking over his body could be seen from miles away as his muscles flexed and relaxed. I knew he wouldn’t like what I had planned, but he knew better than to question me.
The only thing I ever asked was their trust in my judgment. Letting out a deep breath, I looked up at the ceiling as I explained myself.
I want Curtis Black.”
Turning my attention to Leo, chews his lip. “You know where the sanctuary is?”
Since my words didn’t earn any reaction, I took it upon myself to kill the silence. “Do you know how tight security is there?” I asked him.
Raidon still kept oddly silent as Leo got up from the chair. “Yeah, it’s guarded, but not from home,” Leo announces as he rubs the reddened skin on his wrists.
My eyes flickered between both of them, right as Raidon glanced up at Leo. “I have the gate card, but I need to shower first. I can’t walk in there like this.” he says, staring down at the shorts Rhen gave him earlier.
I nodded my head in agreement. It seemed that the initial tension finally faded and Raidon became visibly more relaxed.
That very moment, the heavy tension left me, too. The last thing I needed was unnecessary drama and possible arguments.
“So what are we seeing Bree for?” Raidon asks, glancing between me and Leo.
I pinched the bridge of my nose and sighed. “Find out what she knows about her father and Uncle’s plans.”
“Are you sure we should be leaving Harlow? She just had our daughter. “Raidon asked.
He had a point. A very good point, but we had to think rationally and make decisions before this mess became something we couldn’t handle anymore. At times, it was better to die trying than spend an entire
lifetime on our knees praying sh*t didn’t go south.
“Corbin won’t come back. He’ll wait for the heat to die down. Not only that, the council will be on the radar of the elders now. He wouldn’t be stup*d enough to draw Jun ་ ་་་ more attention to himself. The State Council is one thing, but the Supernatural Parliament? Not even Corbin has been stup*d enough to try to blackmail or bribe one of them,” Leo assured me.
He may not be, as Leo claimed, stup*d enough, but I would be. And I would with a smug smile across my lips. A detail many had forgotten – a tech empire. One thing about owning a tech company was that my father had dirt on nearly every member of the Supernatural Parliament.
That was exactly what I was planning to use to get the laws surrounding Omegas changed. Something that my fathers should have done to help my mother.
“But maybe you should organize for the city exits to be guarded. Especially since it is a six-hour drive.” Leo chimed in.
Even though I couldn’t stand the guy, I had to admit he had a point. However, it did annoy me a little that he assumed I didn’t think of it
already. Clearly, I wasn’t as brainless as he might have thought.
“We ain’t driving. We are flying. The guards were already posted. The city is in total lockdown. No one can enter or leave without my knowledge.” I assured him.
Raidon showed Leo toward the stairs to find him some clothes, but he stopped halfway up as I grabbed my keys off the h***k. ” Since we are heading back that way I already knew where this was going, so I raised my hand to stop him from talking. “We’ll get your daughter,” I assured him. As soon as the words left my lips, he let out a breath of relief.
“We’ll grab her first, then head to the sanctuary,” I added, just to emphasize how serious I was about the decision.
“Thank you,” Leo whispered.
I nodded and wandered off to the den to find my mates. I had to let them know what was going on. And once we find Black, I will speak with Jake and his mates.
We were about to have one heck of a manhunt on our hands. My plans were so grand, all of us might go down in history, I know Corbin’s death will, that I can assure everyone. His death will be remembered, and will be a warning never to f***k with my family.
As I went to the den door, her scent smashed me like a truck, moving a hundred miles an hour. My blood simmered in my veins as I stood frozen, relishing the moment.
I thought her heat was potent, but d*mn, did her scent now stir up another need, one I didn’t realize could grow any more potent. An intense need to protect my pack, my Omega. That deep desire to covet and protect was growing fiercer. Especially now that she had our pup.
The stairs creaked when I reached the last set, and I hesitated as she stirred before stepping down onto the concrete and walking over toward the drop-off. I glanced down at the red cushioned floor and the dozens of comforters and torn pillows.
Carefully, I jumped down, trying not to jostle her too much. Her hand moved instantly to the small bassinet next to her head. The feral snarl that left her made me smirk. That’s my girl.
Still bleary-eyed, I offered her my hands and watched as she sniffed the air before relaxing.
