Chapter 36 - Alphas Possession

Chapter 36

Thane POV

What a bloody nightmare today turned out to be!I made my way back to the office. I shifted while in the loading docks and took the fire exit back up to the top level. I didn’t feel like strolling through the main lobby buck naked. I had already made a spectacle of myself.

I knew tomorrow the papers would read that my pack went into a rut over a damn Omega, which was far from the truth. I was merely protecting mine. Yet if mine and Rhen’s roles were reversed, I couldn’t have left her with those monsters either. I would have fought to keep her safe, and that thought irked me more than it should.

Cuts and scrapes littered most of my body, and authorities were dealing with the two dead bodies in the alleyway. They would be meeting me back here to go over everything. The media would, of course, blame this entire thing on me. I was

their favorite scapegoat.

When I reached the top floor and pushed the busted fire exit door open, I discovered Leila had duct-taped her brother to a chair. She had a nasty bite on her neck. He’d really sunk his teeth into her and bitten out a chunk. Even with her healing powers, it was going to take a while to heal that. It was no doubt from her brother. It was cannibalistic, and I could see Leila was furious at being treated like a chew toy.

“I told you I am sorry. What more do you want?” Leon pleaded with his sister as he struggled to get out of the duct tape.

“My skin back, for one! You bit a bloody mouthful out of me! You’re so gross, and you got your slobber on me,” she snarled back, baring her fangs at him.

“It was an accident and not that big of a deal. I was sent into a rut. I just bit you a little too hard. It’ll heal; you know it will. Stop being dramatic over one little nibble.”

She put her hand on her hip and glared daggers at him. “That only makes it grosser, you asshole. Being blood-crazed is one thing. You can’t help yourself when you just need blood down your throat. But this it’s ten times worse.” Leila shrieked, pointing an accusing finger at him.

“You fang raped me. I’m your fucking sister! Keep your horny, blood-crazed fangs away from me! You just wait until I tell mum and dad about this. It’s not like you can hide it. You fucking asshole. Are you going to bite your mate like that?

Just take a giant bite out of him like he’s some snack for you?” she rubbed her neck; that was healing.

I had already given my statement, but then the crowd became too big, and I asked them to finish it here: I didn’t feel like having more nudes leaked on the internet.

If she couldn’t afford her suppressants, I doubt she could afford the fines for not reporting herself to the city council, and if she can’t pay those, then she goes into the rotation to settle the debt. The thought of her being forced into rotation almost made me growl.

“Mr. Keller? We need her employee reports,” the female officer says. Catching Leon’s eye and Leila, she drops her head while Leon looks at me pleadingly. Fuck!

“She isn’t an employee, yes, she works here, but that isn’t her purpose here,” I lied.

“Oh, so your pack is looking for an omega, so she is here on a trial basis?” the woman asks, and I grit my teeth.

“Yes, we posted an ad looking for an Omega. Leila here posted it herself, Zara answered it, and we brought her to the city.” I lied. Leila nods, confirming what I said,

“Oh, this is wonderful news!” the officer exclaimed, and I fought back a curse. Just what we needed, this shit getting out.

“It also isn’t public news yet, so if you don’t mind keeping that to yourself for now,” I tell them, and they nod.

“Of course, Mr. Keller, we have everything we need, and I am sure you want to get home to your Omega. Please just remember, if you don’t choose to mark and keep her, remind her to register at the council. We can’t keep her safe if we don’t know her location and whereabouts,” the male officer tells me, and I press my lips in a line and give a quick nod.

I waited for them to leave and let out a breath once the doors closed before turning and glaring at my mate and his sister.

“You lied for her?” Leila says, clearly shocked. Yes, because she didn’t leave me much option. –

“I wouldn’t have had to if you did your job properly because she would never have been here in the first place,” I tell her, and she looks away. =

Turning to Leon, he used his feet to scoot forward on his chair, his arms and legs duct-taped, and I could feel his burning hunger and his need to go home. With a shake of my head, I move to him, stripping the tape from him and making him hiss. I was not at all gentle about it; I would deal with him when I got home.

Rhen and Raidon weren’t answering their phones or the mind link on the way home, and even Leon was being ignored, which bothered me. Raidon would have had to get suppressants from somewhere, and they were probably holed up somewhere while they waited, or maybe they were ensuring she was tucked away safely in her apartment.

On the drive home, I am full of tension, yet it recedes when I spot Raidon’s car parked in the garage as I reach home. However, that relief turns to rage when I step out of the vehicle, and all I can smell is Zara.

Surely they wouldn’t be this stupid, yet I was proven correct in my assumption when Leon got out of the car and went stiff as a board. I glanced at him before he lurched forward, and I reached out to grab him. He slipped through my hands before I could catch him, and I cursed with a shake of my head before storming into the house.
