Read Alphas Possession by Jessica Hall Chapter 95 – Harlow POV

A week Later.

 

Leon and I had just returned home from an ultrasound appointment and were walking through the door when his phone started ringing. He answers it as I walk into the house only to find Thane is home and sitting at the counter reading a newspaper. He sets it down as I make my way to the fridge, and I can hear Leon arguing with somebody on the phone in the foyer.

“How did your ultrasound go?” Thane asks, and I glance at him over my shoulder. We hardly spoke, and I preferred it that way. It was easier to just stay away from him than deal with moodiness.

“Harlow?” he says, and I continue to ignore him, instead grabbing a bottle of water and moving toward the foyer to find out what Leon was so upset over. As I pass Thane, however, he reaches out and grips my wrist, stopping me. I jerk my hand from his grip and glare at him.

“Can you answer me, please? All you do is ignore me,” Thane sighs, wiping a hand down his face, then scratches the back of his neck.

“You can’t just ignore me. You are pregnant with our child. We have to at least co-parent,” “Our daughter has three other fathers; I don’t have to do shit with you,” I tell him, about to turn away from him when he stops me again, making me growl at him. For a month, I was locked in that damn den, and he just expected me to forget that. Not even a f****king apology?

“Fine, just go,” he says, just as Leon walks out. He grabs a bottle of coke from the fridge.

“Everything alright?” Thane asks him.

“No, I need to go see Talon. He is having issues with one of his vendors,”

“I can go,” Thane says, standing up, but Leon shakes his head.

“No, stay. I will deal with it. Watch Harlow for me,” Leon says, and I sputter.

“Why can’t I come?” I ask him, not wanting to be stuck at home with Thane. “Because his vendor is a vampire, and neither of you is getting close to him,” “Well, Thane can go,” I tell him, pointing at Thane.

“Nope, his blood is just as addictive as yours; I’ll handle it,” Leon says, pecking my cheek and walking off. “Leon,” I shriek in panic, rushing after him.

“Harlow! Enough, it isn’t safe. He’s your mate too. He won’t do anything; he hasn’t, has he?” Leon asks, and I look at Thane beside me. I swallow nervously. It would be the first time I was left at home with him alone.

“I will call Rhen and tell him to head home, okay?” Leon says, cupping my face in his hands. He presses his lips against mine, and I sigh.

“No, I’ll be fine. Just go,” I tell him, and he looks at Thane, who nods to him before he turns on his heel and leaves.

Dread fills my stomach as I turn to find Thane watching me; he says nothing as I wander into the living room and flick the TV on. I watched the midday drama when he walked out and sat on the couch across from me with his newspaper. I tried my best to ignore him, but his presence had me on edge. Although, I was curious as to why he was home early.
