Page 9 of Alpha’s Possession

Brianna makes a strangled noise, and Talon moves to stop Thane with a hand on his arm.

"That girl has never worked the floor. Brianna will be happy to assist you," Talon tries to tell Thane.

"They don't want Brianna. Get the girl, Talon," Thane says, dismissing him.

Brianna glances down to the bar where the girl is still serving drinks, and I turn to look at Raidon and Leon, who are watching her with such focus that they struggle to remain in their seats.

I nod toward the VIP section when they notice me, and they instantly get out of their seats and head upstairs while I follow Thane. We step into a curtained-off booth, and Thane takes a seat with a sigh. The others come in moments later.

"Leon," Thane says, his eyes lifting to our youngest mate. Leon smiles seductively and saunters over to him before Thane grips his wrist and jerks Leon onto his lap. Thane grips his face between his huge hands, and the tiny points of Leon’s fangs slip past his upper lip. Thane observes him briefly, searching his eyes and tugging on the bond. It makes me curious, and Thane's next words make me wonder if I’m right about his interest in the girl downstairs.

"You won't kill her," Thane growls, his tone cold and commanding. Raidon falls into the booth beside Thane and chucks his arm over the back of the seat behind him.

"He'll behave," Raidon says, leaning into Thane and whispering to him. Thane growls but raises an eyebrow at Leon, wanting to hear it from him. Leon groans and pouts.

"Fine—" his words stop as the curtain is drawn back, and the girl from downstairs steps inside the booth. Leon's entire body tenses, and the girl freezes like a deer in headlights. She swallows and looks like she’s about to run back out. Her plump lips part as if she is about to say something before swiftly turning.

I catch the movement as she starts to second-guess coming in here, and I am behind her instantly, blocking her exit. Her petite body hits my chest before she stumbles backward, only to bump into Leon, who has just jumped off Thane’s lap. The girl freezes, stunned, as he trails his nose across her shoulder and up her neck before his hand moves to her hip and he purrs.

Her eyes flutter shut, and I tilt my head, observing her reaction. Most women would run at that sound, yet it seems to subdue her, before her eyes fly open, almost as if she realizes the strange reaction she’s having to Leon. Only Omegas have that reaction to Alphas, yet Leon isn't a full werewolf. He is a hybrid.

My eyes flick to Thane and Raidon behind them, both watching her almost as if hypnotized. I have never seen Thane interested in any of the girls here, yet the obviously straining in his pants as he moves tells me he wants to fuck her at the very least.

Leon purrs and runs his tongue up her neck and behind her ear before pressing his fangs against her neck. The girl shudders and whines. Still, she reacts by turning to putty in his hands. I sniff the air. Besides her sweet virginal scent, she smells like a regular wolf. The moment his fangs prick her skin, she jolts, shoving him away. Her heart rate picks up as she looks around us, trying to find an escape, but Raidon moves to catch her wrist and yanks her onto his lap.

"Please, I changed my mind. I want to leave," she whispers, and Raidon lifts his hand to her face, brushing his thumb over her jaw while Thane watches him toy with her. Her pulse thumps in her neck, and Leon groans, sweeping her light brown hair over her shoulder.

"He won't hurt you. Leon just wants to have a little taste," Raidon purrs, and this time, Thane observes the same reaction I saw the first time. He watches her with avid curiosity as her breathing hitches and she turns languidly in Raidon’s arms, melting backward against Leon, while he sinks his fangs into her neck from behind.

She gasps, trying to pull off Raidon's lap. She is caged in, and Raidon palms her breast through the thin crop top she wears. His thumb circles around her nipple while Leon's arm snakes around her torso, tugging her closer as he feeds on her. Arousal smashes into me through the bond when he pulls his fangs from her neck and groans loudly.

"Omega!" he purrs, licking his lips, and my lips part, my eyes darting to Thane, who snarls and shoves her off Raidon's lap. The snarl that leaves his lips makes my stomach drop as he abruptly stands. Raidon growls at the girl who clutches her neck, trying to stem the bleeding. No wonder she is such a fucking whore! Just like the rest of the fucking gold-digging Omegas.

All Omegas are. Despite her being a virgin, we all know why she came in here. The last Omega nearly tore our business out from under us and destroyed our bond, yet it explains our allure toward her. Thane snarls, storming out of the room. The girl sits on the floor, still clutching her bleeding throat. She looks like she is on the verge of tears.

We won't fall for her little Omega tricks. We see through them. Gripping Leon's shirt, I rip him out of the room and follow my mates.

Chapter Six

~Harlow~

Something is going on upstairs, after four terrifying-looking men in suits come in. I watch two of them go straight to the VIP level while the other two sit in a booth by the door. Alphas, all of them, yet one of them smells a little odd. Almost as if he is more than a werewolf. I can feel their hungry, leering gazes watching me as I pour a drink for a customer. I kind of wish I could be washing the dishes right now. Their staring has me on edge.

It isn't worth the wedgie these tiny little shorts are giving me, and I fight the need to tug the skin-tight shorts from my butt. How Brianna wears skimpy stuff like this on the daily is beyond me. I am freezing, my nipples poke through the thin crop top I have on, my midriff exposed. I might as well be naked for the coverage it gives me.

Brianna, I notice, is talking animatedly with one of the men upstairs, trying to draw his attention. He leans on the railing, watching everyone below. His black suit looks like it is a part of him. The four of them are intimidating. The way they walked in like they owned the place and the loud banging from upstairs behind Talon's office door tells me they are dangerous. I can't place them, yet there is something familiar about the one that went into the office in a blur of pure Alpha fury. This city talks, and I can tell whoever they are, they instill fear in the customers who keep nervously glancing at them.

I stare at the one talking to Brianna. She appears nervous all of a sudden, and he turns to speak to her. The man is enormous, and I lose sight of her as he turns his body, blocking my view of my friend. The aura radiating off him is potent and I can feel it from here, making me shudder as I turn to serve the next customer. Pouring the drink, I glance back up to check if Brianna is alright when his glowing, silver eyes lock on mine. I quickly glance away, returning to clean glasses, when the other two in the far booth suddenly get up and head upstairs.

I watch them slip into the VIP section before I hear arguing break out between Brianna and Talon and she storms off. Talon grips the banister and makes eye contact with me. He lifts his finger in a come here motion and my brows furrow, but I set the glass down on the bar before walking out from behind it. I climb the staircase and move toward him.

"Everything okay?" I ask the huge, burly-looking man. His hair is shaved short, and he looks more like a thug than a businessman. Talon sighs and glances down the hall where Brianna disappeared.

"You need to make money, right, to cover your rent?" he says, and I instantly become wary.

"I will give you $1,000 dollars," he grips my shoulders and turns me toward the VIP section, pointing to a closed-off room, "if you go in there and entertain the four men waiting in there."

"What?" I choke out, glancing over my shoulder at him. His eyes darken, an angry look gracing his face.
