Alpha's Possession by Jessica Hall

The force sliced my hands ten times worse from the grip I had as I stabbed at his chest but missed the glass going through his shoulder near below his collarbone.

Thane grunts, and my eyes widen at what I did. I can’t believe I stabbed him. Thane’s grip tightens as he looks at the glass protruding from him. I intended to stab him, but I still can’t be lieve I actually had the guts to do it. To hurt another person, yet the anger I felt dissipated in stantly with the horror of what I did. Thane growls furiously as the entire front of his shirt turns bright red as he yanks the glass out and my anger turns to horror as his face twists in fury and his canines protrude frighteningly fast.

I could hear a menacing growl off to the side of me. Before I could even turn to see who made such a savage sound I barely caught a glimpse of Leon as blurred past me and tackled Thane to the ground. Leon hits him, making Thane’s head snap back with the force and I could tell through the bond Thane was startled by the sudden attack.

I was startled because attacking your Alpha was suicide, Leon would be lucky not to get killed and I think the only reason Thane would take such a disrespect is because they were mates with a fully forged bond.

Yet being mates doesn’t stop Leon raining blow after blow down on him. Raidon and Rhen stood shocked by Leon’s actions before they finally reacted. Leon’s fangs protruded from his mouth, and he ripped Thane’s head to the side and tore into his neck. Thane’s attempts to throw him off grew weaker and weaker until eventually he fell slack and his command over me also dropped abruptly making me wonder if he was dead or if he was just weakened enough it broke its hold?

Time seemed to stand still as I saw Thane’s eyelids flutter with one last feeble attempt to push Leon off. He laid there limply. Did he just kill Thane? Yet the steady beat of his heart, I knew he was still alive when Leon sat back on his heels and wiped his hand across his mouth, smear ing blood all over his face. Seconds later someone grabbed my arm, the feral snarl that left Leon’ s lips had them jerk away from me. Glancing over my shoulder, I saw it was Rhen.

“Let her go,” Leon said, his voice ice cold, and it chilled me to the bone.

“Leon?” Raidon spoke, his voice barely a whisper. “What have you done?” he asks, looking down at Thane at Leon’s feet.

“I can’t watch him treat her like that anymore,” Leon tells him before he places his hand in his pocket and fishes out a set of keys.

“Go!” Leon says, tossing them to me. I catch them staring at his car keys. My heart is beating rapidly in my chest. What am I to do with these? 

“…I can’t drive,” I stuttered out. Leon tilts his head to the side to look at me before looking at Rhen and back at me.

“You can’t drive?” Leon asks.
