Alpha’s Possession By Jessica Hall Chapter 14


    Chapter 14


    Raidon POV


    “Where is Leon?” Thane asks when I sit down and ce my te on the massive hardwood table.


    God, he has not calmed down since we left work. Not even given a chance to greet him, he’s already


    up and running a whole interrogation at the dinner table.


    I shrug even though I feel I might know where he is. Alright, I’m pretty sure I know where he is, but I


    don’t want to rat on him. “Where is Rhen?” I ask, trying to distract Thane from the issue with Leon.


    We usually eat dinner together every night. No matter how busy each of us is, dinner together is a


    must. Dinner time ispulsory, so once I look around and see no one but the two of us, I frown. It’s


    surprising to see the table so unusually empty.


    Is Leon really that stupid to skip the one thing Thane always ensures we do every night together? I


    nce at Thane, who sits across from me and drums his fingers on the edge of his whiskey ss. The


    muscles in his jaw tense, and if I don’te up with a way to distract him, the dinner might turn into a


    disaster even before it begins. I could feel his festering anger, though looking at him. He was a picture


    of calm beside the tight set of his jaw


    Thane clears his throat and focuses on the ss as he exins, “Rhen should be back soon. He called


    me earlier while I was cooking dinner. He went to pick up some files for me on the new girl.”


    Yet, as I stare at him, Thane doesn’t move to eat, and I know he won’t. He won’t until Rhen and Leon


    arrive. As big and intimidating as Thane is, there are a few things he values and holds close to his


    heart. One of them is dinner. For outsiders, that might seem silly, but I understand why he’s so


    adamant about this tradition- it’s the only time of the day we can sit down, talk, and spend quality time


    together.


    He tips the ss to his lips and swallows some caramel-coloured liquid. By the looks of it, I’m almost


    sure that Thane will kill Leon if he arriveste or misses the dinner.


    Thane chewed him out good in the office earlier today. He had a reason, though-Leon tried to lie to his


    face. Technically, Leon lied, but Thane saw right through his bullshit act. Leon refused to tell Thane


    where he went, and I’m d that Thane refused tomand us around unless we disobey him


    outright, which Leon had done.


    Yet Thane wouldn’t embarrass Leon at our ce of work like that. We had to remain a united front, but


    Leon is so in for it when he gets home. That much I know, without a doubt.


    “Where do you think Leon went today?” Thane suddenly asks and pulls me from my tumultuous


    thoughts.


    I turn my attention to him to see Thane watching me over the rim of his ss. His eyes nearly burn my


    skin, and the gaze digs deep enough for him to see my soul, pull it out of me, and toss it wherever he


    wants.


    I gulp loudly. Thane may be my mate, but that doesn’t make him any less terrifying in my eyes. Not that


    he would ever hurt us, but sometimes, his words are enough to inflict pain worse than anything


    physical.


    It’s the words that bring the most pain and damage to the rtionship. We’re still fortunate; not all


    mates are as understanding in certain aspects as Thane is. Any other dominant man would have


    dragged Leon in front of us and humiliated him for lying to him.


    With those thoughts in mind, I open my mouth, nce at Thane, and instantly snap it shut. This doesn’t


    seem like the best moment for me to speak up, so perhaps it’s better that I avoid the question. At least


    for now.


    However, my hesitation is not missed by Thane. “Choose your words wisely, Raidon. You know I detest


    liars, and Leon is in enough trouble when he returns. So, unless you want to be punished along with


    him, I suggest you speak truthfully,” Thane warns me in a low, threatening tone.


    I sure as shit don’t want to be Leon when he gets home.


    The thing is that all of us are alphas. We are destined to sh, but Thane is the most prominent of us.


    So, he’s the one we chose to lead us, and with that came power none of us could withstand once we


    submitted to Thane.


    “May I answer a littleter?” I ask as I lean back in my chair. Instead of answering with words, Thane


    nods-just one tense, sharp nod.


    But then the silence draws on, and he decides to speak. “You may if you promise the answer will be


    truthful. I understand that you don’t want to betray Leon, Raidon. However, it would be best if you kept


    in mind that I’m asking only because I already know the


    answer already.” Thane states; I just nod my head in return. There isn’t anything I could say at this


    point.


    “What do you think of Zara? That Omega.” Thane suddenly asks, bringing up the much-needed change


    of the topic.


    “She is quiet. Why?” I answer the question, though that is true. Or at least for now.


    N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    I can tell she has a defiant streak, and I’m so curious – no, even eager – to see the moment she snaps.


    An angry Omega is so entertaining. Like an angry beaver swinging around the tiny tree, it just bit off. I


    internally chuckle at the mental image of her pitching a fit at our feet. I could picture how Thane would


    drag her over hisp to put her back in her ce.


    Blinking, I shake my head to get rid of the mental images built up by my mind.


    “Good. So I assume you’re not rattled by the Omega, then?” Thane asks and raises an eyebrow in


    question. However, his question makes me wonder if perhaps he is.


    We haven’t had an Omega work for us in years. Thane can’t stand to be in their presence, though I


    know Le has some answering to do.


    Zara is the only Omega in the building that works for us, and we have our reasons for that, reasons she


    inly ignored by hiring her.


    “Not really,” I answer with a shrug, a little too excited to see where this conversation might bring us.


    Thane isn’t a person who discusses anything and everything just for the sake of discussion. He always


    has a reason for why he brings up specific topics, and the Omega seems so irrelevant to our current


    conversation that I can’t help but wonder why Thane mentioned her in the first ce.


    “Good, in that case, you can help me make her quit or just find a good reason to fire her,” he


    announces and brings the ss back to his lips.


    “Wait, you want to fire her?” I ask, a little too shocked for my own good. The office really needed a


    secretary, and none of us were good at keeping up with the ce the way she had on the first day.


    I know Thane can be cruel to the employees. Shit, I’ve lost track of the countless times we had to cover


    up the deaths of employees when Thane let his temper get the best of him, but I worry he might go too


    far this time simply because she was an Omega.


    His request is to make her quit or find a reason to fire her, but what if I can’t do that? What if Zara turns


    out to be more challenging than Thane thinks, can take any humiliation, and still keep working with a


    straight face like a true professional?


    Or what if she’s so good at what she does that there won’t be an actual reason to fire her? It’s not like I


    can pull that reason out of my ass. I’m not a magician.


    Thane chuckles and shakes his head as if I amuse him. “They always break. She will be no different.”
