Read Omegaâs Possession by Jessica Hall Book 2 Chapter 43 â Leon POV We finally arrived at the west gates leading in, authorities had the place surrounded, even a helicopter was flying above taking aerial shots. Even one of the local news station choppers was flying in circles yet were remaining far enough away from the state official ones. I shake my head, much to my disgust, that they were just looking for the next big headline.
âFucking vultures.â I curse. No doubt, they are streaming the entire thing live. Law enforcement cars lined the entire road, having blocked any traffic coming down or up the mountain. State and local officials scouring the entire place.
Thane is first out of the car, followed by Rhen. We were all feeling antsy. All made worse because the bond offered little in the way of her wellbeing. We?
knew she was alive, thatâs all we cared about right now. Getting her out, we could deal with the aftermath afterward. Yet the state we would get her back in was another thing.
Corbin had seven mates, like Jake does. Harlow also just had a baby, so would struggle to shift, she is Omega so powerless against a command without Thaneâs serum or her having marked us. I knew Thane would be ensuring both those things the moment we get her back.
Spotting Thane and Rhen as I climb out, I move to them while Raidon checks out the fences. Stopping beside Thane, I peer down at the screen they are looking at. Heat projection drones showing they were deep inside the mansion that when they moved, their locations becoming invisible as half the house was embedded inside the mountain.
State officers scouring everything trying to find a way in. âHow long until the federal officials arrive?â
Rhen questions. The man gulps, glancing at Thane nervously. âStill two hours out.â he explains.
Thane looks across the reinforced gates. âThatâs too late.â he mutters. His emotions were all over the place, all ours were. He felt like he failed all of us, but most of all he felt like he failed to protect Harlow.
âThe explosives team sent in drones and equipment earlier, the entire fence line is wired underground.
Even the tunnels leading in.â
âThere has to be some way in.â Rhen snaps, snatching the manâs tablet as he takes control of the drones.
We have searched everywhere.â the man tells him.
âYou canât have, Corbin wouldnât lock himself in with no way out. www.alaniniz.com There has to be a way for him to escape, he would be expecting us to barge on in, needs an escape route.â Rhen argues.
âThe only way other than through these gates is the tunnels, they are all wired with explosives. And we arenât even sure what else is inside.â
âCanât we drop in?â Thane says, pointing at the helicopter circling above. The man sighs and shakes his head.
Rhen points to the rooftop and trees, making me look up. âNot unless you want to fry, those nets covering the top, arenât to keep the bird out.â Thane and I look up.
âThey canât cover the entire place.â Thane mutters. Rhen steps closer, showing us, with the drone, that entire place is completely covered overhead by them.
âYou drop in from above youâll be barbecued, they are rigged with barbed wire and razor wire. See here?â Rhen shows him on the drone, a huge panel on the wall. The drone hovering just above the wire netting. âElectrically charged,â Rhen tells him.
âYeah, we lost two drones initially before we figured out why.â The man states and Thane growls.
âSo then what? We wait for the federal authorities to arrive, it will be too late.â Thane snarls, eyeing the high fences.
âWe have no choice, we have to wait.â Rhen says, though the worry through the bond from him, we all knew what that meant.
âMaybe Leoââ Thane cuts me off.
âFor all we know, he is probably getting ready to fucking mark her. He is Corbinâs mate Leon! Would you go against me? Kill me?â I clench my jaw looking away, knowing it would be impossible, but Thane hasnât done the things Corbin has. âWe have his daughter.â I tell Thane.
âYes, his daughter that he knows I wonât kill! That the council wouldnât allow to be killed. So, basically we are sitting ducks while they do god knows fucking what with our mate!â
âLeo had to have a way in, he said it himself, he could get in through the tunnels. Send the fucking drones back out.â The man quickly nods, taking the drone from Rhen and using his radio to talk to the other men when Thane starts taking his clothes off.
âWhat are you doing?â Rhen asks him.
âFinding a way in!â Thane snarls before shifting, and I see Raidon rush over. âFuck sake,â Raidon. snaps, ripping his shirt off to go after him. Raidon tosses it to me before shedding his pants.
âFool will get himself killed.â Raidon snaps, shifting into his huge bear like wolf and taking off into the woods after him. www.alaniniz.com Rhen shakes his head, snatching the radio out of the manâs hand and walking back to the car when Thaneâs phone rings. I pull it from his pocket, seeing that it is Jake.
âHey, Jake.â I answer it. Now knowing it is left for me to tell him whatâs going on. Zara was already wanting to come to find Harlow despite just having her babies, and I knew Jake had his hands full with her. This was not going to help matters.
I quickly explain everything before then hanging up and dialing Elaineâs number to check on Scarlet.
Elaine answers after only two rings as if she had the phone in her hand waiting for one of us to call. âHey, ma. Howâs Scarlet?â
âSheâs asleep on Popâs chest. Any news, have you got her back?â I sigh.
âNo, and now we are stuck waiting. Leo escaped to try to help, but Thane has his doubts.â
âAs he would. Leo is Corbinâs mate. And mate bonds are hard enough to go against, let alone your Alphaâs command.â I nod, falling quiet.
âSheâll be alright, Leon. Youâll get her back. One thing about Harlow is she durable. All Omegas are. We have to be.â
âYeah, I know, I just worry about the state sheâll be in when we find her.â I admit, worriedly glancing back up at the mountain mansion.
âWhere is my son?â
âChasing Thane. He is trying to find out where Leo was able to get in at.â
âIs that about my dad?â I hear his daughter ask in the background. Elaine must have pulled the phone away from her ear, her voice not as loud.
âNo itâs Leon He was checking on Scarlet â
âBut my father?â she asks, and Elaine sighs.
âHe escaped back to Corbin.â Elaine tells her and the girl whimpers.
âNo, no, my father wouldnât abandon me. Dad only agreed to be Corbinâs mate to protect me, so he could get me out of rotation and away from my mother. He wouldnât run back to him, knowing Thane would get rid of me for betraying him.â
âThane would never put you in rotation, and even if he tried, Harlow and I wouldnât allow it. Your father knows this!â Elaine tells her.
âHe also knows I donât stand a chance without him.
He wouldnât risk it.â Emily tells her.
âWhat does she mean?â I ask Elaine.
âLeon wants to know what you mean?â Elaine asks her.
âHe knows Mom would come for me.â my brows furrow in confusion. I donât even have to ask Elaine to question her, she just does. âSo, she is your mother?â
âDoesnât mean she is a good one. Why do you think dad got fired for stealing the drugs from the practice? He was never selling them. They were pheromone blockers. When Mom found out I was Omega, Mom offered me to the Vamps. Dad took me from her and raised me. Tried to convince her I was Alpha blood, not Omega.â
âYour mother sold you to the vamps?â I hear Elaine ask.
âYes, Omega blood is addictive. I was being offered up as a feeder when I came of age. Mom was a rotation Omega. She refused to give up the lifestyle, I was merely a pawn to her when she realized I was born Omega too. Dad intended to keep her as his mate, but mom said no. Mom had three other children before me, but with regular Alphas. They were all born Omega, so the Alphas didnât want them.â
âAnd where are your siblings?â Elaine questions.
âI donât know. We never found them. Mom sold my two sisters off to be raised by other alphas for breeding. My brother was sold to the Vamps. Dad tried to find them for me. Itâs one of the reasons he met Corbin because of his links to the vampire community. So when he discovered I was Omega, he tried to hide it with the blockers, but Mom found out. Then dad bought me off her. He borrowed the money off Corbin in exchange. Dad had to become his mate.â
âMy god,â Elaine gasps. Her story was absolutely horrifying, no wonder Leo asked Thane to take her. But that reassured me even more. Leo would come through. You donât join an Alpha pack for your kid if you would risk their lives, especially knowing she is Omega.
