Alpha's Possession by Jessica Hall

Read Alphas Possession by Jessica Hall Chapter 91 – Harlow POV

Three days Later

I spoke with my mates daily except Thane and I refused to speak about him and they appeared to listen. Besides that day he had a panic attack for whatever reason. I hadn’t spoken to him, although he had tried to speak to me. I ignored his messages, not ready to delve into the arguments I was constantly waiting for.

It helped the loneliness of being in this guest house by myself, however, this place still didn’t feel like home, and I knew it never would. No matter how much I tried to settle in here, the longer I spent here the more unsettled I became. Hearing my phone I recently bought, ring. I got up from the small sofa I was sitting on reading. Walking over to it, I notice it is a private number.

Pressing answer I put the phone to my ear only to see movement out the small window in the kitchenette. Jake was walking down the path that was lined with hedges from the house toward the guest house.

“Hello?” I murmur into the phone while turning toward the door to unlock it for Jake. I flick the lock on the screen door and push it open for him when Thane’s voice on the other end makes me jump.

“I didn’t think you would answer,” he says and I immediately hang up, heart racing in my chest at the sound of his voice. The phone immediately starts ringing as Jake steps into the small place.

“Hey Jake,” I tell him, glancing at the phone screen when he suddenly becomes nervous, he scratches the back of his neck and I wondered if the guest house was still making Zara antsy.

“I need to head into town, but I need to take my mates with me in case things get messy. Can you sit with Zara until we get back?” he asks and I smile. I was about to head up there to see her and was excited to spend time with her by herself. She was never alone, she constantly had one of her mates with her, that realization suddenly worried me.

“Is everything alright?” I ask him.

“It will be, I’ll sort it out,” he tells me not offering anything more than that.

“Okay, I will just grab my charger, my phone is nearly dead,” I tell him and he nods waiting by the door for me.

I follow him along the path back to the main house and we enter through the back of the house. Upon entering I find Zara’s mates in loose-fitting clothes as if they were expecting to shift, that just made me more nervous for some reason. Mainly because I knew whatever was going on must be serious if all of them were going. Zara I find is asleep on the couch. Completely unaware of what was going on, the moment I entered the room she picked up my scent and her eyes flew open.

She smiles sleepily, “Sis, you came up?” she says yawning before rubbing her eyes. When she opens them she stares at her mates who were getting ready to leave.

“Where are all of you going?” she asks them and her eyes suddenly glaze over and I knew she was mind-linking one of them just as Sam passed me Mason who was eating a toffee apple.

“Aunty Haha,” He squeals and I kiss his sticky cheek. My name was too much of a mouthful for him so I was now called Aunty Haha. I found his nickname cute. He offers me some of his toffee apple and I take a bite of the sticky goodness, making exaggerated chomping noises as I make my way over to Zara whose eyes flick to me nervously.

After everyone left, Zara put on Mason’s favorite movie and I told her I would make popcorn when he kept complaining he needed it. Zara’s feet were ridiculously swollen and she looked like she was in pain. Ligament pain from her huge belly made her uncomfortable and even the prenatal belly belt wasn’t offering her any relief. Walking into the kitchen, I put the popcorn in the microwave and wait, listening to the popping noise as the paper bag expands. I was only gone for a few minutes when I heard Zara’s blood curdling scream as she screamed out to Mason..

The sound made my heart lurch in my chest as I raced out to find Zara no longer in the living room.

“Zara?” I screamed out, looking for her while rushing through the place only to find her at the back of the house. She was in a full-blown panic attack standing by the glass sliding doors that lead onto the patio, trying to breathe and scream out for her son.

“Zara?” I stuttered and she couldn’t even speak, just kept pointing out the door as she tried to breathe. I peered out to find Mason had walked out back to his small sandpit. Completely oblivious to his mother freaking out behind him.

“It’s fine, I will get him,” I tell her, stepping out and wandering over to him, I pick him up and he giggles while I nearly toss my back out as I scooped him up and he kicked his legs.

Zara, see. Perfectly fine,” I tell her as she clutches her chest, her breathing slowing as she peered warily out the door, one hand clutching her stomach.
