Read Omega’s Possession by Jessica Hall
Chapter 43: 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.
“F*cking vultures.” 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 well-being. We knew she was alive, that’s 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 Thane’s 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. “How long until the federal officials arrive?”
Rhen questions. The man gulps, glancing at Thane nervously. “Still two hours out,” he explains.
Thane looks across the reinforced gates. “That’s too late.” 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.
The explosives team sent in drones and equipment earlier, the entire fence line is wired underground.
“Even the tunnels leading in.”
“There has to be some way in.” Rhen snaps, snatching the man’s tablet as he takes control of the drones.
“We have searched everywhere.” the man tells him.
“You can’t have, Corbin wouldn’t lock himself in with no way out. There has to be a way for him to escape, he would be expecting us to barge on in, he needs an escape route.” Rhen argues.
“The only way other than through these gates is the tunnels, they are all wired with explosives. And we aren’t even sure what else is inside.”
“Can’t we drop in?” 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. Not unless you want to fry, those nets covering the top, aren’t to keep the bird out.” Thane and I look up.
“They can’t cover the entire place.” Thane mutters.
Rhen steps closer, showing us, with the drone, that entire place is completely covered overhead by them.
“You drop in from above you’ll be barbecued, they are rigged with barbed wire and razor wire. See here?” Rhen shows him on the drone, a huge panel on the wall. The drone hovering just above the wire netting. “Electrically charged,” Rhen tells him.
“Yeah, we lost two drones initially before we figured out why.” The man states and Thane growls.
“So then what? We wait for the federal authorities to arrive, it will be too late,” Thane snarls, eyeing the high fences.
“We have no choice, we have to wait.” Rhen says, though the worry through the bond from him, we all knew what that meant.
“Maybe Leo-“ Thane cuts me off.
“For all we know, he is probably getting ready to f*cking mark her. He is Corbin’s mate Leon! Would you go against me? Kill me?” I clench my jaw looking away, knowing it would be impossible, but Thane hasn’t done the things Corbin has. “We have his daughter.” I tell Thane.
“Yes, his daughter that he knows I won’t kill! That the council wouldn’ t allow to be killed. So, basically we are sitting ducks while they do god knows f*cking what with our mate!”
“Leo had to have a way in, he said it himself, he could get in through the tunnels. Send the f*cking drones back out.” 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.
“What are you doing?” Rhen asks him.
“Findinga way in!” Thane snarls before shifting, and I see Raidon rush over. “F*ck sake,” Raidon snaps, ripping his shirt off to go after him. Raidon tosses it to me before shedding his p*nts.
Fool will get himself killed.” Raidon snaps, shifting into his huge bear-like wolf and taking off into the woods after him. Rhen shakes his head, snatching the radio out of the man’s hand and walking back to the car when Thane’s phone rings. I pull it from his pocket, seeing that it is Jake.
“Hey, Jake.” I answer it. Now knowing it is left for me to tell him what’s 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 Elaine’s 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. Hey, ma. How’s Scarlet?”
“She’s asleep on Pop’s chest. Any news, have you got her back?” I sigh.
‘No, and now we are stuck waiting. Leo escaped to try to help, but Thane has his doubts. “
As he would. Leo is Corbin’s mate. And mate bonds are hard enough to go against, let alone your Alpha’s command.” I nod, falling quiet.
“She’ll be alright, Leon. You’ll get her back. One thing about Harlow is she durable. All Omegas are.
We have to be.”
“Yeah, I know, I just worry about the state she’ll be in when we find her.” I admit, worriedly glancing back up at the mountain mansion.
“Where is my son?”
“Chasing Thane. He is trying to find out where Leo was able to get in at.”
“Is that about my dad?” I hear his daughter ask in the background. Elaine must have pulled the phone away from her ear, her voice not as loud.
“No, it’s Leon. He was checking on Scarlet.”
“But my father?” she asks, and Elaine sighs.
“He escaped back to Corbin.” Elaine tells her and the girl whimpers.
“No, no, my father wouldn’t abandon me. Dad only agreed to be Corbin’s mate to protect me, so he could get me out of rotation and away from my mother. He wouldn’t run back to him, knowing Thane would get rid of me for betraying him.”
Thane would never put you in rotation, and even if he tried, Harlow and I wouldn’t allow it. Your father knows this!” Elaine tells her.
He also knows I don’t stand a chance without him.
“He wouldn’t risk it.” Emily tells her.
“What does she mean?” I ask Elaine.
“Leon wants to know what you mean?” Elaine asks her.
“He knows Mom would come for me.” my brows furrow in confusion. I don’t even have to ask Elaine to question her, she just does. “So, she is your mother?”
Doesn’t 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.”
“Your mother sold you to the vamps?” I hear Elaine ask.
“Yes, Omega blood is addictive. I was being offered up as a feeder when I came of age. Mom was 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 didn’t want them.”
“And where are your siblings?” Elaine questions.
“I don’t 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. It’s 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.”
“My god, Elaine gasps. Her story was absolutely horrifying, no wonder Leo asked Thane to take her.
But that rea*s*sured me even more. Leo would come through. You don’t join an Alpha pack for your kid if you would risk their lives, especially knowing she is Omega.
