Page 61 of Alpha’s Possession

Raidon looks up as he ties his laces. “Everything okay?” he asks, moving to do the other.

“Can I borrow your hairbrush?” I ask him, not wanting to step into the room. He points to a door, which I see is a bathroom. “Can I—?" I point to the door.

He nods. I quickly rush into the bathroom and find his hairbrush in the holder. I grab it and start ripping it through my hair.

“So, you all share a room?” I call out to him.

“No, this is Thane’s room. We all have our own, but we mostly sleep in here,” Raidon answers before I spot him in the mirror. He stands, walks toward the bathroom, and stares at me in the mirror.

“Thane’s letting you go to work like that?” he asks, his eyes fixed on my breasts.

“No, of course not,” Thane says, coming up behind him and answering before I can say anything.

“Try this one,” Thane says, handing me another blouse. This one is made of a clingy, stretch fabric. I take it from him, waiting for them to step out, but they don’t.

“What are you doing, Zara? Put it on,” Thane growls, snapping me out of my head. Okay, then, clearly, they are going to watch me change. I quickly unzip the blouse and tug it off. Thane takes it while I pull the other one on. This one fits like a second skin, but at least I’m covered.

“Better. And fix your hair,” Thane snaps, about to leave, but he stops, looking Raidon over. He clicks his tongue.

“Where is your tie?” he demands.

“Come on! I’m wearing the damn suit. I don’t need a strangulation device, too,” Raidon says. Thane shakes his head, moving toward the walk-in closet beside the bathroom. Thane presses his lips in a line before clicking his fingers at Raidon, but he just stands there.

“No,” Raidon growls as Thane wraps the tie he grabbed around his neck before using it to jerk him closer.

“Behave. I am not in the mood,” Thane growls, pecking his lips. Raidon rolls his eyes while Thane straightens the tie before walking out.

“Do your hair in the car. We’re going to be late,” Raidon says, grabbing my hand when he spots me watching them. He leads me downstairs and to the garage. I climb into the back seat, jammed tightly between Raidon and Leon.

“What time will he arrive?” Leon asks, glancing at his phone screen.

“At 10 a.m., and we still need to find the pack files,” Thane says, navigating his way through the streets.

“You have a meeting today?” I ask them, wondering who it’s with and if it’s the reason Thane is so irritable.

“Yes, and you will behave. No throwing yourself at his feet, Zara, and keep your damn pheromones in check. I do not feel like fighting this asshole because of your Omega instincts.” Thane states.

I blink, realizing I forgot to take my suppressants this morning. Thane’s eyes go to mine in the mirror, just as Leon sniffs me and licks his lips.

“She didn’t,” Thane growls.

“Yep, she forgot,” Leon declares, snitching on me.

“Fuck, we will be so damn late,” Thane snarls about to rip the car around.

“I’ll be fine. I’ve been around you lot for days. I should have some resistance, right?” I ask.

“Are you sure?”

I nod, and Rhen reminds him we have some de-scenter at the office.

“I mean it, Zara. If you act like a...”

“Omega?” Rhen cuts him off.

Sure, piece of cake. I’ll just switch off my DNA, not an issue! Asshole, I think to myself.

“Not a problem. I hate Alphas,” I say without thinking. I freeze. It’s just an off-hand comment. Stupid word vomit. I declare I hate Alphas, while sitting in a car full of them. Smart move.
