Alpha's Possession by Jessica Hall

Chapter 18

Zara POV

It seems like the following week flew by in a blur. All four of the asshole Alpha-gang kept dumping ridiculous tasks on my shoulders, but the one I’m stuck on now is definitely topping on the goddamn cake.

Apparently, there is another package coming in tonight that is very darn important for Thane, and I’m the one who has to deliver it to their packhouse before the clock hits 7 PM. Those morons never promised to pay me for overtime hours yet gladly used every chance to make my work experience as miserable as possible.

“Here is the key you can use to lock up when you leave. The delivery will be at the loading docks behind the building,” Rhen says with a chuckle as he passes me the key. This is so unfair! I must stay behind for an hour after the workday ends.

I watch him leave with the others before I make my way down to the said loading docks. The place looks like what one would actually assume to find-down there, it’s a dimly lit area, but I still manage to find a few staff areas, a cleaning supplies closet and some storage area packed with packs of printer paper of various sizes and broken computer parts.

everything and sought for any, even the stupidest reason, to fire me. Too bad for them because they actually taught me a valuable lesson about myself- I’m damn amazing working under

all day long; I’m too

tense and acting more out of their character, making me wonder what is going on with the

right now or any of my business. So instead, I watch the hours tick by and grow annoyingly impatient. Where the hell is this delivery

have fifteen minutes until the delivery arrives. Honestly, I still don’t understand why Thane didn’t let me leave work and return around the time I was supposed to pick up his delivery. What confused me was why he couldn’t get it delivered to his packhouse if he needed it

the silly thoughts. Of course, I know why Thane is doing this. He wants to break me and have a reason to fire me or push me out of the company by having me quit. I guess that’s the reason why he and the rest of the assholes have been doing nothing

in the direction of the storage locker behind me. It has a master key. For a brief moment, I contemplate skipping across the street to the smoke store, where I know they have a key cutter. I have passed by the building so many times that it’s impossible to miss the sign. Besides, the store is open for only a few more minutes, so technically, I have enough time to run there and

succumb to the temptation as I chew on my bottom lip.
