Alpha's Possession by Jessica Hall

Omega’s Possession Chapter 49

Thane POV

I watch as Raidon takes Leo outside, Charles curses under his breath as he peers out the kitchen window watching them. Turning around, I face him leaning on the counter. “What were you and Mom fighting about?” I ask, just as Elaine walks back in, setting the empty glass on the counter.

“It’s nothing Thane,” Elaine murmurs, rinsing the glass. “You aren’t betraying her!” Charles snaps at her, and I growl at him. He shakes his head, folding his arms across his chest, and leans against the fridge.

“Betraying who, now fucking speak. Is this to do with Leo?” I demand. Charles clenches his teeth before he sighs. Elaine shoots him a worried glance.

“I have known Leo for years. I know he did some unspeakable things, Thane. But he had his reasons.” Charles defends Leo. I nod my head, knowing he was ordered to kill my mother. He saved my mate and daughter.

“I can’t mark him.” I tell them feeling guilty. It wouldn’t work.

“We aren’t asking you, too.” Charles grumbles, and my eyes flick to his before I look at Elaine. She turns her gaze to the window watching Raidon, Leo and Emily. Her lip quivers.

“I loved your mother,” Elaine whispers, her lips quivering. “She was like my sister.” Elaine says, fiddling with her bracelet. The same one Harlow wore that belonged to my mother.

“I never lost contact with Leo. He has helped me over the

years. I have emailed multiple times and kept in touch with him when I have needed help with my surgeries. We didn’t know he was responsible for your mother’s death, Thane. But he is a good surgeon. Despite what he’s done, he’s still a good man.” Charles tells me.

“I know, I see that now. But I-”

Charles lifts his hand. “We want you to look past what he has done,” Charles cuts me off.

“The fact I brought him back here proves I have done that, Charles.” I remind him.

“Enough to let me mark him, for Elaine?” Charles asks, and I blink at him. My eyes flick to Elaine, who can’t meet my gaze. Now I understand what they were fighting about. Elaine thought she was betraying my mother and me by asking to save him.
