Chapter 6
Read Omega’s Possession by Jessica Hall Book 2 Chapter 6 – Rhen POV
This is the last place I want to be, especially when I can feel my bond pulling me back to my mates. The happiness building in Thane made me feel giddy. I missed them already, and if this meeting didn’t hurry along soon, I would cancel it.
He was already ten minutes late, and my patience was waning. However, checking the mountain load of paperwork Leila left on my desk, I found I could no longer concentrate. Thane’s arousal smashed me through the bond, and my pants suddenly felt very restricting.
Deciding I could no longer wait for Talon to sort his contract out with his vendor, I got up from my seat and headed toward the elevator. Talon was supposed to meet me here after my initial meeting with a security company looking into advanced technical services.
That meeting went off without a hitch. And Talon knows better than to leave me waiting. Leon could deal with him, I was done trying to sort out his mess. I pressed the button on the elevator, only to notice it was already on its way up. Great, so much for going home. Sighing, I move to the small kitchenette to make some coffee. I hear the elevator chime and sing out to Talon.
“I’m in the kitchen,” I yell out over my shoulder when I hear more than one set of feet on the floors. Setting the cup down on the counter, I move to see who he brought with him, expecting it to be Bree. However, stepping out of the small room, I find Talon bl**dy, being escorted into the office by Alpha Corbin.
“Hello, Rhen; I was hoping to find Thane,” Corbin says, shoving Talon to his knees in front of me. Reaching down, I grab Talon by the arm, ripping him to his feet.
“What the f*ck have you done?” I growl at him.
“Indeed, what has he done? I am a patient man Rhen, reasonable, but this worm has screwed me over for the last time,” Alpha Corbin says when Leila comes down the hallway.
“Rhen!” she whimpers, and I growl, noticing half of Alpha Corbin’s mates behind her. One has her arm, her lip also bleeding as if one of them had slapped her.
“Let her go. Whatever this is, it can be sorted out,” I tell him, shoving past him and reaching for my sister- in-law. Leila whimpers and hides behind me, and I push her into Thane’s office. “Lock the door,” I tell her, and she nods her head, her eyes glassy from crying.
I motion toward the conference room down the hall, Alpha Corbin already heading toward it when I open the mind link. “Raidon, I need you in the office now,” I tell him, cutting the link abruptly. I know my mates, and I know they’ll come. I was severely outnumbered here, and all of them were Alphas. Talon flinches as I step next to him.
“If you have put my mates at risk, you won’t have to fear Thane killing you. I will do it myself,” I sneer at him. Walking into the conference room, Alpha Corbin rests his feet on the table, sitting back in the chair with a smug smile on his face, hen flicks his dirty blonde hair back and resting his arms behind his head.
“I guess now we wait for your Alpha.”
“Raidon is on his way,”
“I would prefer to deal with Thane and Leon,” he growls at me.
“Thane is otherwise occupied. Now, do you mind telling me what this is about?” I ask, my eyes cut to the side as Jaxson, Leo, and Finley enter the room behind me. They lock the door, and I grit my teeth.
“You sure you want to go down this road, Corbin?”
“I am owed a lot of money. Talon here has not settled his debt as agreed. Your mate Leon paid half, and I am here to collect what’s outstanding.” My eyes moved to Talon, and he whimpered, yet I could feel my mates getting closer, feel Thane coming for me.
Talon meets my gaze, his eyes pleading for me to understand when Leo punches him, I snarl and bare my teeth. “How much?” I ask, turning my gaze to Corbin, Thane would kill me for bailing him out this time.
“It’s not just money I am owed, but don’t worry I have come to learn you have exactly what it is I require, she’ll do to replace the girl he lost,” Corbin says, and my brows furrow.
“Excuse me?” I ask. “Not to worry, it will all be settled when Thane gets here,” I didn’t like the sound of that, and where are his other mates?
“You see Leon went down for collateral.” He clicks his tongue and shakes his head, my heart beats faster at his words.“ You’re not taking Leon,” he laughs, the sound mocking and I grit my teeth.
“I don’t want Leon. Leon was stupid enough to go back Talon against the vamps. Leon was stupid enough to tell them, that he would cover any debt, if Talon couldn’t and even signed my contracts. And he did pay the debt for him,” My brows furrow.
“If the debt was paid, why are you here?”
“Because the money Leon gave Talon paid for my purchase. My purchase was supposed to be dropped to me last week and wasn’t. I have come to find out that
Talon here set my purchase free.” Talon shuffles forward on his knees. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“I’m sorry Rhen, she was barely eighteen, I panicked,” Talon pleads and I look at him. I open the mind- link feeling for Thane. “Where is Harlow?”
“At home with Leon, what’s going on?”
“Alpha Corbin is here.”
“We are almost there. Just hold him off,”
“No, get back to Harlow, now!” I scream through the link just as I feel a fist connect with my face. I spit blood and wipe my mouth before glaring at Finley, who punches me when I feel something
slide between my ribs and steal my breath.
I twist, looking under my arm to find a knife embedded in my flesh. Pain ripples up my side, and my shirt turns red. The hand holding it twists, and I suck in a breath before locking eyes with Jaxson.
“Leon should know better than to take his cousin’s word,”
“Whatever the cost is, we’ll pay it,” I grit out when Jaxson sneers behind me and twists the knife. My claws slip out as I fight the urge to shift, knowing if I do, Corbin would tear me apart.
“You’re right. Leon will pay for his mistake,”
“Leon owns nothing. Everything is in Thane’s name, and if you think Thane will let you take Leon-“I hiss when the knife is ripped out, my hand cups my side to stem the bleeding, and my knees buckle.
“Now that is where you’re wrong. Leon does own assets. He owns your Omega,” Corbin snarls when my back arches, the knife plunges into my back between my shoulder blades, I choke, sputtering out blood, and I gasp, feeling my lung collapse.
He rips the knife out, and I am tossed forward and Talon screams, my vision starts to go as I fight to remain conscious. Why wasn’t I healing? My veins felt like they were on fire when I search for her through the link. Search for Harlow. Instead, I get Raidon. “Rhen?”
“Tell Harlow I love her,” I choke, spewing out blood onto the floor when I see them drag Talon out of the room, my entire body feels cold, and I shiver.
“No, I am almost there,” my eyes flutter, and the room blurs, the ground beneath me becoming soaked in my blood and I collapse.
“Rhen!” Raidon screams through the bond when I feel my tether breaking.
