Chapter 159: Chapter 128

Read Omega’s Possession by Jessica Hall Book 2 Chapter 26 – Thane POV “So you told Corbin?” I added.

Curtis was an easy clown to break, but I wasn’t sure if saying more would work to my advantage or the opposite – forcing me into a dead end.

Sometimes, low-life scums like Curtis and Corbin couldn’t accept that anyone thought of them less than they thought of themselves, so adding a little fuel to their flame wasn’t the worst idea. If I were lucky enough, he would lay out everything to the last detail.

“She left me no choice!” Curtis screamed, and I barely held myself back from grinning like someone who had just finished the marathon first.

I rocked back on my heels, wanting nothing more than to kill the man before me. My hands literally itched, and my mind kept replaying how much I wanted to get a whiff of this fool’s blood. But I couldn’t act on instinct. At least not yet. For now, we needed him alive because we needed the information only Curtis could provide. He was worried about my mother taking down this vile industry. By the time I was done with him, he would be responsible for shutting it down. That’s if I can hold back killing him after what he did to my mother.

“What did she have on Corbin?” I asked, and he just shrugged at my question.

“Some proof about him killing my father,” Curtis muttered as if it wasn’t a big deal. One would think such a thing could affect a person, but clearly, Curtis didn’t care. Rats never did.

“But that would help you? So why not give her what she wants?” I arched an eyebrow as if I was genuinely interested in his part of the story.

My interest in his story wasn’t entirely fake, I needed to get the information, but to get what I sought, I had to listen to the parts that didn’t matter to me, right now the only thing that mattered was finding Corbin..

Curtis’ face turned deep red as he glared at me. “This place is all I have. She was trying to shut the sanctuaries down! That is not helping me. Only putting Bree in this mess! She would have become another target for Corbin to wipe out.” He barked the words.

Was I the only one who found it ironic how protective Curtis was of his own daughter, while he didn’t give a flying fuck for other Omega children? He would watch his dumbass brother hurt Harlow and possibly harm our daughter, and he wouldn’t bat an eyelash.

Curtis was more than willing to sacrifice many innocent lives for as long as this bullshit didn’t put him or his daughter in danger.

“So what did she have on you?” I hummed, bringing my hand to my chin as if I was deep in thought.

Curtis looked away and huffed. “It doesn’t matter. She crossed too many people. If it weren’t Corbin, it would have been someone else.”

I couldn’t believe this shit. He was surrounded, looking right into the face of death, and he still tried to defend that piece of shit.

I grabbed the knife, ripped it out of his leg, and plunged it into Curtis’other leg. I made sure to do it with enough force to stab the knife through his thigh and into the chair.

“Warning me next time?” Leo scolded me as he jumped to cover Curtis’ mouth with his hands to silence the screams of pain.

I shrugged and turned around to rummage through the drawers. A silent “Ohh,” left my lips as I found a spoon, and an idea popped into my mind.

A wide, sinister smile spread across my lips as I turned around to face them again. “Gag him and hold his eyelids open,” I told Leo right when Curtis tried to stand up.

Leo elbowed him in the face, breaking his ugly nose in the process and making him fall back in the chair.

Leo grabbed his head and pried an eyelid open. He didn’t question my intentions even for a second, while Curtis gripped Leo’s arm and struggled against his hold. Slowly, I brought the spoon closer to his eye, pressing it into the whites of his eyes, more than ready to scoop it out like an ice cream.

“Wait, wait!” Curtis squealed, and I stopped, raising an eyebrow.

I gave him enough time to catch his breath. It seemed that, only now, Curtis understood that he could lose more than his precious sanctuary.

“She had video footage of the night Bree was dropped on my doorstep. She had your father break into our servers and steal them.” Curtis panted.

“And why is that an issue?” I asked.

I was curious what more could there be besides the obvious — surely that wouldn’t be so tragic to his reputation, finding out who Bree’s biological mother was.

“It’s not the only footage she had,” Curtis admitted, glancing at the spoon in my hand. “She also had a video testimony from her mother and DNA swabs. Also, the tape from the night.” He explained as Leo stepped back.

“You were worried about Corbin finding out who the mother was?” Leo asked, but Curtis shook his head.

“No, that was part of it. But it proved her claims that the system was rigged and the girls were held against their will.” Curtis stated.))

“But that is common knowledge,” I added. Was he taking us for fools? Why did he think sharing old news was a good idea in a situation where he was about to lose his eyes?

Perhaps I should change the approach and go for his testicles first and then scoop out his eyes?

(“It is now, yes. But back then, sanctuaries were painted as safe havens for Omegas. A fair system that the woman joined willingly to find the best packs. Your mother was the biggest whistleblower of what my father for years was trying to cover up. Most girls were too scared to speak up, for fear they would end up back here. But not your mother. She wanted to take down all of us. Her videos would have done that.”

Now, it made more sense. I hummed and scratched my chin. “So you told Corbin I bought an Omega to get back at her?”

“Yes, but when she showed up, I saw an opportunity to make all her threats disappear. So, I told him she was picking up an Omega for you and placed a tracker on her car.” He muttered.

I took a step closer. “And the footage?”

“No idea, but it was never released,” he shrugged. I glanced at Leo, who had a dark look on his face.

“What was on the footage, Curtis?” Leo asked, his voice ice-cold.

The tone Leo used was laced with so much power and dominance I was sure Curtis felt cold shivers of fear run down his snakey spine.

Curtis swallowed and looked away, acting as if someone as vile as him could feel ashamed of what he was about to share with us. Leo and I exchanged looks and focused back on Curtis right as the worm spoke up.

“My father changed his will. The first of us to produce an heir inherited everything, but then Corbin killed him. By then, it was too late, and I was desperate. I couldn’t lose this place, and it is no secret Corbin hates me. He felt I deserved nothing. It is why I convinced my father to let me pick one of the girls here. I didn’t have the money to win the auction. Dad was pissed Corbin made an Alpha Pack, so he agreed.”
