Alpha’s Possession By Jessica Hall Chapter 43


    Chapter 43


    Thane POV


    For hours I have waited at the strip club for Talon to return. He was pissing me off. He knew I was


    waiting and was deliberately dawdling and wasting my damn time. Yet as Brianna walked on in, I knew


    he wouldn’t be too far behind her. Brianna spots me instantly and runs. They had spent thest few


    days out of the country, but I rang as soon as I found out his ne hadnded this morning and told


    him toe to see me. When he didn’t show up, I came looking for him.


    The moment he steps into the seedy ce, he sighs. “If you’re here about the money, can we do this in


    my office? My patrons don’t need to witness this,” he groans. I wave him to go, and he trudges toward


    the steps. I follow and climb the steps behind him to his office. He immediately walks to the safe and


    opens it.


    “I’m not here about that,” I growl, and he seems taken aback and stands, kicking the safe door shut and


    spinning the handle


    “You’re not here about the debt?” he asks warily as he makes his way to his desk. I fall onto the couch,


    watching him. Scrubbing a hand down my face, I rub my eyes. I needed sleep and hadn’t slept a wink.


    It was impossible; I was used to being curled up with one of my mates. The couch at work did not offer


    that.


    “No, I am here about Z or Zara, whatever you want to call her,” I tell him, and he swallows and leans


    back in his chair, folding his arms across his chest.


    “What about her? You know if the girls request their identity to be kept secret, we abide by their


    wishes,” he states. I raise my hand; he quiets immediately; I should beat him senseless, for giving me


    the runaround all damn day. He knows better than to push me.


    “I know the rules you have set out for this ce. I don’t care for them. Do you have any idea how bad


    this could damage mypany’s reputation if they knew I hired a hooker?”


    “Zara isn’t a hooker. She mainly cleaned dishes. The first time she took on clients was you lot when


    you demanded her,” Tal defends. I click my tongue, finding that hard to believe she had no intentions of


    whoring herself out. But then again, she is a virgin


    “What do you know about her?” I ask him, turning my attention back to him. Tal gets up and moves


    toward his bar area. He pours us both a drink before handing me the ss. I sip mine, waiting for him


    to say something. But he only shrugs.


    “Not much. She is quiet, and I am pretty sure her only friend is Bree.”


    “She never mentioned family or anyone?” Tal shakes his head, and I groan. I was no closer to figuring


    out who she was.


    “So you didn’t know she was homeless, I gather?” Tal shakes his head.


    “No, I have been to her apartment; Bree lived next door to her. That’s how they met,” Tal quickly says. I


    shake my head


    “I spoke with the owner. She kicked her out a couple of weeks ago. The owner thought she was staying


    with a friend until one of her other tenants told her she was on the streets, sleeping behind the old


    za.” I tell him.


    “A homeless Omega?” Talonughs, yeah, it wasn’t heard of much. We certainly didn’t get many


    homeless Omegas in the city. Most were cherished possessions of their alphas or made good money


    doing rotations, which was basically just being breeders, jumping from pack to pack, spitting out kids


    before moving on to the next.


    “Wait, you’re being serious?” Tal asked. I clicked my tongue, annoyed that he didn’t realize one of his


    workers was in such dire straights. Yet again, she pulled the wool over my eyes too. Yet a homeless


    Omega in this city was dangerous


    “Fuck, I had no idea. Had I known, I would have organized something or told the council,” he exims.


    “That’s another thing I wanted to see you about. Zara never registered, and her ID was fake,” I tell him


    and his brows furrowed.


    “They’re forcing her into rotation?” he asks, and I re at him with a growl.


    “No, because I covered it up by telling the council my pack is iming her,” I snap at him.


    “Oh well, that’s great news. No harm done then,” he shrugs.


    “You know I won’t have an Omega in my pack. That is why I am here. I need to find out who she is


    because it is clear to me that Zara is running from someone,” I snap at him.


    “She was Bree’s friend. I did her a favor. Honestly, Thane, if she is hiding something, I am not aware of


    what it is. Besides giving her shifts, I didn’t have much to do with her outside this ce.”


    “So, what do you suggest I do with her? I can’t keep her,” I tell him.


    “Why can’t you? Because of Harlow? Do you know why Leones here so often, not because he


    wants to feed on my workers but because he is hoping you fucking find one you like? Your pack needs


    an Omega,’ Tal snaps.


    “What use is an Omega to us? She would be useless to us.” I retort.

    “She wouldn’t be useless. Sure she can’t take your knot, but does that matter? There is more to


    Omegas than being a piece of ass,” Talon says. I knew he was right, but it still irked me; we were so


    close to having an Omega, a family. Yet Harlow blew that right out the window.
