Read Omegaâs Possession by Jessica Hall Book 2 Chapter 62 â âBecause it is a deterrent, besides if for some reason you had to use it, it may buy you enough time until one of us gets to you,â Thane explains. â Plus, it makes your resistance to Alphas even stronger.â
âBut Iâm already resistant to command now?â
âYes, but what if several commanded you all at once, or all of us did? Practicing with your aura, even a weak one, will strengthen the side that obeys. Make you more resistant.â I roll my eyes. It seems like a waste of time to me. Itâs not like I went anywhere without them unless it was the refuge, and there I had Leo with me.
Leon stands back up, stopping in front of me. Closing my eyes, I focus on the tingling sensation I felt when Thane used his calling on me. Moments pass when I feel my skin buzz.
âGood girl, now, hold on to it,â Thane tells me, so I know I latched onto the right thing. âNow try to project it, think of Leon, and try to push on his with it.â I do as he says, feeling the spark of touching his aura as it easily fights mine.
A shudder runs up my body, some deep-rooted instinct telling me to back away, a nagging feeling telling me I was taking on someone stronger, dangerous. Leonâs aura instantly flares up, pushing back, and he curses, making me drop it.
âSorry, I didnât mean to do that,â Leon murmurs.
âItâs fine,â I tell him.
âOkay, an aura is one thing, but you need to put the command behind it. Without a command, it is just pressure,â Thane explains.
Looking at him over my shoulder, Thane steps away from me. âLeon, sit down. I can ignore mine. Iâll try with her,â Thane tells him. I raise an eyebrow at him.
âI could only barely just touch Leon, and you want me to touch yours?â I shake my head.
âIf you can hold it, it will strengthen you, then maybe youâll see you have a command.â
Thane stands in front of me, and my shoulders slump. This aura and the commanding thing were exerting so much energy for doing absolutely nothing.
âClose your eyes,â Thane tells me, and I do.
Instantly, I find my aura and project it out. I feel it touch Thaneâs and instantly retreat when I feel him tug on it, like he was calling it out and making me gasp. âHold it, Iâm not resisting you, Lowe. Keep pushing,â
Thane urges, and so does his aura.
âNow try to command me.â my brows pinch and I try to do what he asks, only it was like trying to catch air as I willed what I wanted through it. As soon as I told him to submit, it was like someone flicked a switch, my Omega side forcing its way forward telling me to submit to a bigger predator.
Thaneâs hands grip my arms, sparks rushing across my skin, and I open my eyes and exhale in a huff.
âSee, after a while, youâll get used to it. You can resist our commands, you just need to practice. resisting and projecting the auras.â
âBut arenât they the same thing?â I ask him, finding all this very confusing.
âNo, an aura is energy, similar to physical energy in a sense, a battle of willpower. A command is an order. Itâs not just touching them with your energy, itâs commanding theirs.â Thane tries to explain.
âCome on, we can go to bed. Weâll try again tomorrow,â he tells me. Rhen and Raidon both jump up off the couch, followed by Leon. Walking up the stairs, I hear Scarlet cry out.
Leon rushes past us all in a blur to settle her, and I stop on the steps. âIâll go make a bottle,â Thane says, stopping and heading back toward the kitchen before I can.
Climbing the stairs, I move to the nursery to check on Scarlet to find Leon sitting in the rocking chair with her. Thane wanders in a few seconds later with her bottle and takes her from him.
âGo, Iâll feed her, get to bed.â Thane tells a yawning Leon. He nods and moves toward me and I step aside. I watch Thane give a bottle to her, his index fingers stroking her little nose as he purrs, rocking back and forth.
Slipping the door shut, I wander to our room and crawl into bed, face-planting the pillow. Raidon climbs in beside me and Rhen beside him. Leon stumbles over, falling on my opposite side when Raidon slips his arm beneath my head. I roll, pressing my ear to his chest, getting comfortable.
When nothing happens, I smack his chest, and he chuckles. âYou know you are quite demanding and bossy for someone so small,â Raidon purrs at me.
Ignoring his comment, I smack his chest, wanting to be lulled into blissful sleep. Seconds later, his calling slips out, and a sigh escapes my lips as I snuggle against him with Leonâs arm draped over my waist.
Yet before I manage to fall asleep, Raidon does first, making me growl when his calling slipped away.
Sitting up, I was about to crawl over to Rhen to see if he was awake, just as Thane comes in climbing in next to Leon.
I climb over Leon, making him grunt when my knee squashes his ribs and he rolls into me, making me face-plant onto Thane before he is even lying down. He lets out a grunt at the impact and he nudges Leon to move over. He reluctantly rolls into Raidon and Thane lays down, tugging me higher.
Thane tugs the blankets up and I tap his chest. âSo impatient,â he mutters as I starfish on him. âI better not wake up covered in drool again,â he mumbles.
âNo promises!â I tell him, drumming my fingers on his chest. His calling slips out and I melt against him.
âMaybe you do have a dial or a button?â I mumble.
âHuh?â I shake my head and yawn before falling into darkness, listening to the thrum of his calling.
