Alpha's Possession by Jessica Hall

Chapter 85 

Alpha Jake told me to catch a train and he would come pick me up from Clareview City station because it would take hours for him to drive here. He said he would come pick me up but after I explained I needed to leave now, he looked up the train time tables. With my bag clutched tightly on my lap and over one shoulder I sat in the very last carriage where the security guard was. He watched me curiously but said nothing about me being there.

My eyes stung from tiredness, yet the fear of the unknown kept me awake and alert. Each stop the train made had me staring worriedly out the window. My brain conjured up that Thane would be at the next stop to retrieve me and drag me home. Yet once I had been on the train for an hour I relaxed slightly when the security cleared his throat. My eyes snapped open and I hadn’t realized I had closed them.

In his hand he held a wrapped sandwich, offering it to me. “Eat, you look pale,” he says, his eyes roaming over my face and down my arms. I thanked him and took it but his eyes darted to my hands where blood had stained beneath my fingernails. Only then did his aura slip out and I realized he had Alpha genes. That suddenly made me nervous yet he moved back to his side of the carriage and sat down before heating his dinner.

I looked at the egg sandwich wrapped in clear film, the carton looked untampered with so I opened it. My stomach growled hungrily and I polished it off in four bites only for the security guard to chuckle. My face heats with embarrassment but he shakes his head and rises to his feet before handing me the other half of his. I shake my head.

“Take it, I can get more from the other carriage,” he tells me and I thank him. He sits back down only rising from his seat at each stop to watch the passengers. He wandered off a few times to check tickets but returned retaking his seat. Halfway there I groan wondering how many stops before I would get there.

“You can sleep, I won’t let anyone near you,” the security guard tells me and I chew my lip. He had been nice the entire way and not creepy yet he was still an Alpha and I was an Omega.

Yet as the train slowly made its way my eyes grew heavier and heavier as I fought to remain awake when I felt something soft ripping me from my sleep. My eyes fly open to find the security guard placing his jacket over me and giancing at my ticket.

“I will wake you up before,” he says with a nod and sets my ticket back in the side pocket of my bag. I watched him move back to seat. “Sorry, instinct to protect. You’re an Omega, and your descenter isn’t working because you’re-” He points at my belly.

Yet those instincts were clearly dead in Thane, just the thought of him twists my stomach and makes my heart beat faster. Sleep takes me moments later, suddenly feeling a little reassured.

“Ma’am?” his deep voice says, shaking my shoulder and I jump glancing around in panic.

“Sorry, didn’t mean to startle you, your stop is next,” he says pointing toward the window and I see we are leaving another station, I nod checking I have everything and minutes later we pull up at ClaireView city. I step off the train nervously looking for Alpha Jake when I am suddenly closed in on by three huge men. I turn back to run to the train when I hear Jake’s voice.

“Don’t be frightened Harlow, it’s just my mates,” One of the men stepped aside and I spotted him. I step away from the dark haired man who had a crooked lip from a scar running through it from his nose.

For some reason my mind instantly went to I fucked up and stepped into a trap. Yet none of the three men touched me, in fact they were very careful not to which I thought was odd because the platform was crowded and there wasn’t much room, instead they just crowded around Jake and I as we left the platform and walked out to the parking lot.

“Was the train bad?” Jake asks and it felt strange trying to make small talk with someone I didn’t know. We stop beside matching Black SUV’s and the three men climb in one when Alpha Jake opens the trunk on the other car. I take my bag from my shoulder feeling a little nervous about getting in the car with him. Yet when I pass him the bag he jerks his hand back when my fingers touch his.

The bag falls and hits the ground. He quickly bent down to retrieve it, giving me an apologetic smile and motions toward the car. I shake the strange action off yet when he climbs in I wondered if maybe he had a cleanliness issue as he santized his hands with sanitiser from the glove compartment.

“Sorry, Omegas well you know?’ he says and my brows scrunch together. He starts the car, the other following closely behind as we make our way towards the outskirts.

“So how many mates have you got?” I asked nervously.

“Eight,” he says simply yet I was horrified.
