Alpha's Possession by Jessica Hall

Chapter 47

Thane POV

I watch as Rhen runs his fingers up her spine while waiting for his knot to go down so he can pull out of her. “You’re wearing protection?” I ask him, and he glares at me, which startles me.

“Yes, Thane,” he says, looking down at her. The way he spoke my name was cold, and I tilted my head, watching him, yet he didn’t lift his head to meet my gaze. Instead, he buries his face in her neck.

Her scent was growing weaker, the heat abated, and I observed as Raidon placed a blanket over her when goosebumps prickled her skin; he lay beside her, and Rhen rolled on his side, crushing her petite body between them to keep her warm. Leon had moved away from her and was sitting on the edge of the pitted den, his chin resting on his hand as he watched them.

“We can’t keep her,” I tell them, feeling their longing for an Omega loud and clear. They wanted her; they wanted to keep her.

“Do you not feel any kind of pull toward her?” Raidon asks, yet he stares at Rhen, not me. I swallowed. I felt the strange sparks got when I touched her. They were the same as I got from my mates. But she isn’t our mate.

“It doesn’t matter what I feel towards her, no Omegas,” I tell them, and Rhen growls, and I could feel his sadness. It was natural for us to want Omegas, yet I knew it was the desire of her heat that was making us feel off about her. Leon snarls, getting to his feet, and I try to grab his arm as he passes by me, but he pulls away.

“You need to get over Harlow. She isn’t coming back, but yet you insist on punishing us for it,” Leon snarls before stomping up the steps and leaving the den. I sigh and turn back to my mates.

“She can stay until we find her a place to stay, but that’s it,” I tell them.

“Leon’s right, Thane; it is time you got over Harlow. We want an Omega, and I know you think it’s because she is in heat and it is fucking with us, but packs need Omegas,” Rhen says, sweeping her hair from her face.
