Alpha’s Possession By Jessica Hall Chapter 25


    Chapter 25


    Leon POV


    Warmth covered me, and I knew I was in bed. The heavy weight of the duvet covered me, and Thane’s


    scent enveloped me when I woke, so I knew we were in his room. We all have our own rooms, yet


    mostly we tended to sleep in here, not enjoying being apart unless Thane was in one of his moods.


    My head was pounding to its own beat as I groaned, sitting up. I rubbed my eyes and yawned sleepily,


    trying to remember how |


    got here. Thest thing I remember is receiving a scolding from Thane in the living room and the gate


    rm sounding. As I yawn, my eyes squint at themp that was on beside the bed and my jaw, which


    felt like it was dislocated.


    “You’re fine. Lay back down,” Thane says, and I blink, peering over at him. His aura was potent, and I


    could tell instantly he was in a bad mood, which meant I was in for yet another scolding when


    shbacks of his fist swinging at my face returned. Why was outside?


    Thane pats his chest, and I roll my eyes at him. “One!” he counted, and my face was sore enough. I


    also didn’t want my ass beat, so I quicklyid back down.


    “What are you reading?” I ask while stretching out and tugging the nket up. He doesn’t answer but


    sets the book down.


    “Do you remember what happened?” he asks, sitting up and adjusting the pillow behind him. I licked


    my lips, that were overly dry when the taste of blood reminded me I fed on Z.


    Z!! That was not Z, yet there was no doubt in my mind, it— Could Zara be Z? That startling rity


    smashed me harder than Thane’s fist did. Everything flooding back to me. She was here. So, where


    was she now? I fed on her; that is why Thane attacked me.


    “I am booking you back into the Parksville rehab,” Thanes says, and I sit up, ripped from my pondering


    thoughts and smashed heavily into reality by his words. No, I can’t go back. They can’t make me go


    back there.


    “Wait, no. I have it under control, Thane. It won’t happen again,” I panic. I was not going back there. I


    wasn’t leaving my mates. I couldn’t go through with that again. I hated being away from them; it nearly


    sent me insanest time.


    “You attacked Zara, Leon. A member of staff. I had tomand her to keep quiet.” Thane snarls.


    “No, I will behave. I will be more careful, |- | slipped up; it won’t happen again.”


    “Thane is right, Leon. You have be too much of a risk,” Rhen says, and my head turns to find him


    sitting by the firece in the room. Tears burn my eyes.


    “And Raidon?” I asked hopefully, yet he wasn’t here and I couldn’t smell his scent as strongly, so it was


    clear he wasn’t home. Thane growls, and I know Raidon would stick up for me. “He isn’t Alpha. What I


    say goes, you are going, Leon, whether you like it or not,” Thane says, leaving no room for argument.


    Yet an argument is what he will get. I am not going back.


    “No!” I growl, and Thane’s returning growl was thunderous, and his attack was faster than I could track.


    Thane’s hand wrapped around my throat, and before I could even register the change in positions, I


    found myself pinned to the bed beneath him. His towering, muscr body looms over me.


    “Thane!” Rhen panics.


    “No, he risked everything tonight. He needs to learn,” Thane growls, and tears prick my eyes as I shake


    my head. His grip wasn’t tight enough to cut off my air but more a show of how easily he could put me


    in my ce if he so chose it.


    “Please, I don’t want to go back there,” I beg him, clutching his hand. Thane’s eyes soften. He knows


    how much that ce destroyed me, how much it almost destroyed our bonds.


    “It’s for your own good, Leon. I don’t know how else to help you,” he breathes, and I could feel it was


    killing him as much as it was killing me.


    “I’ll be good; I will control it, please, Thane,” I begged him, and he sighed, climbing off me.


    “Leon—”Imoved, climbing onto hisp and straddling his waist. Leaning forward, I kiss him, cutting off


    whatever words he was about to speak. He may be big and grizzly on the outside, but I know he hated


    the thought of me leaving just as much as I didn’t want to go. Mates aren’t supposed to be apart.


    “I know what you’re doing,” Thane mumbles against my lips that were assaulting his. I hear Rhen


    chuckle behind us before feeling the bed dip as he climbs on it.


    “Is it working?” | purr back at Thane. He growls, the noise turning to a purr as my lips travel down his


    neck and my fangs graze his

    mark. I may be blood-crazed, yet I knew how much Thane loved when I fed on him. He loved the high


    of the bite as much as any feeder did. When my fangs pierced his neck, he groaned, his hand cupping


    the back of my neck.


    “You’re still going,” he growls as I feed on him. His taste was as potent as his scent to me, yet Z. No


    Zara’s was so sickly sweet it made my fangs ache, and I craved her, yet as I fed on Thane, for some


    reason the underlying taste reminded me of her sweet, addictive blood, something pure about just as


    addictive, yet I could exin why.


    Tretract my fangs and run my tongue over his neck, licking up thest remnants; I would have to heal


    him in the morning. Thane wouldn’t go to work with my bites on his neck, even though I loved the sight


    of them on him. He would never allow anyone to believe he was my feeder. Feeders were seen as


    addicts, addicted vamps and Hybrid as much as we were addicted to their blood.


    It urred to me then that maybe I did have a source after all because one thing I did know; I was now


    the only thing preventing Zara from being fired. If Thane knew she was working at Tal’s, he would fire


    her on the spot.


    Now I just had to convince Thane not to send me away. “One more chance, please. If I slip up, I will


    sign myself back in.” I tell him. Thane growls and looks over my shoulder at Rhen. Rhen shuffles


    closer, wrapping his arms around my waist and tugging me off Thane just as Raidon walks in. The sigh


    of his relief was loud when his eyes met mine.


    “Zara?” I asked him, since no one had mentioned her.


    “You gave her a scare, but I think she will keep quiet. She is okay, Leon. You didn’t kill her.”


    “She better, or I will fucking end her,” Thane growls, tearing my attention back to him.


    “You drop her home?” Rhen asks him, and Raidon nods, falling heavily beside us on the bed. Thane’s


    bed reminded me of the one in the den. It was easily the size of two super kings. It needed to be to fit


    us all in.


    By the looks of it, Thane wanted us all close tonight because Raidon started stripping his clothes off


    before climbing under the sheets. He pats his chest, and I wait for Thane, knowing he had thest say


    on whether I was sleeping in here with them or if he would use it as punishment.

    Thane sighs and nods to Raidon, who smiles wickedly as he beams with excitement. I knew all day he


    had been waiting to get his hands on me. He loved that I was the smallest; it drove me nuts because I


    was just as fast or faster, yet still, their aura would always outweigh mine, seeing as they were pure-


    blooded werewolves while I was the mutt of the lot, but I also loved their affections.


    “One chance, Leon, one!” Thane says as I slip under the sheets with Raidon, who was already tugging


    at his boxer briefs.
