Possession

Ondine

I t’s late when we all drive back to the house on the peninsula. Killer is there, along with all of our things, so we can’t spend the night at the country house. Robin and the others are going to get the house all opened up and ready for our moving trucks tomorrow. It was so good to see them again.

I curl up with Freddie and Arnie in their room, on Freddie’s bed. In the middle of the night, Jake and Shadow come in and sleep in Arnie’s bed, and then before morning, Jake grabs me and takes me into bed with them.

I wake early to go scent my man, Sebastian.

I sneak away quite well. Even Killer is none the wiser, sleeping between Arnie’s legs.

Sebastian’s room is empty, and his phone is still plugged in.

I look at the screen for the time and see some texts from Boone .

All the men have the same passcode, so in a moment of weakness I open up his phone to read the messages.

I miss you.

I think I’m falling in love with you.

Sebastian, please don’t be mad at me. I just need to talk to you.

I’m shaking. My whole body is filled with adrenaline. My head feels heavy and my hands are cold. It looks like they haven’t talked since that phone call they had weeks ago, where Sebastian told him not to contact him.

And yet this morning, Boone decided to profess his love. To my alpha. To my alpha.

I’m so disgusted by the texts I’m staring at I delete all three of them. I’m horrified. I’m upset. Shadow told Jake what Boone said when he questioned him under his influence. That Boone wanted to be the bridge between our packs and be the new pack lead. That he wanted to remove Shadow.

He doesn’t get my pack. They are mine!

I call Boone.

“Sabbies,” he breathes in relief.

“Don’t call him that.”

“Ondine?”

I’m too angry to reply. I’m too upset to speak.

“Listen, I’m outside. In my car. You want to talk to me?

Come out and talk to me.” His voice is so calm and nice.

But I’m still so mad. I take the phone with me and leave.

I’m going to go yell at him. In the hallway, I realize Sebastian is up in the nest. I think he’s gotten up early and started packing it for me.

I don’t even think about going to him. I don’t even think about going to the rest of my pack

I storm right out of the house.

Bare feet. Tiny sleep shorts. Tank top.

He’s parked down the road.

I don’t think how bad of an idea this is until he emerges from the car wearing head to toe black.

It’s too late. He grabs me, putting his gloved hand over my mouth with a wet, smelly rag.

I drop the phone onto the concrete. My hands go up to my face, trying to pull his enormous paw off of me.

He shushes me until my vision blurs. He lets up only enough for me to suck in a breath, breathing in whatever he soaked the rag in.

It makes it impossible to breathe. My vision goes first. And then everything goes out.

I wake up like no time has passed at all.

I jerk around, still trying to get out of his arms. But I’m not being held by him anymore.

I’m in a basement. It’s a friendly space (despite being held here against my will) with couches, tv, and a bar.

Kind of looks like a cabin in the woods.

There’s a bedroom off to the side. A kitchenette behind the couches.

He’d laid me down on a loveseat. When I find my feet, I discover he’s very close to me.

“I was expecting Sebastian. So I’m sorry if the dosage was off. It was meant for a large alpha man.”

This whole place smells like him. That outdoor grass smell. I used to not mind it, but suddenly it smells more like dirt and zoo poop.

I’m very lethargic.

My feet are on the ground, but I’m totally immobile on the couch.

“But this is a much better development. I was going to use him to bait you to come. And then it would be the three of us. But he’ll come for you. No matter what. Now I can focus on severing your bond.”

I nearly pass out again. I go to stand, but I can’t even get an inch off the couch.

“You know, I learned a lot after Bunny. She was my first omega. I was young, and didn’t quite know what I was doing.

First, you have to separate the omega from her pack.

The further, the better. That’s why we are at my parent’s house in Sixthwater Ridge.

You slept like a baby in the back seat the whole seven hour drive. So, don’t worry, sweetheart.”

He stands up and walks over to the bar, filling a glass with water.

“Next, you have to scent her. Purge her of all her pack’s scents. Beautiful thing here, you only have one alpha. Freddie. And his bite is shallow.”

He puts his hand under my chin and helps me drink the water. I’d resist, but I’m actually very thirsty. He sets the empty glass down on a coffee table.

A cloud of white powder falls down the side of the glass to the bottom.

“Are you ready?” He says and then dips his head down to my neck. I fall back, but he just takes my limp-like body and holds me while he scents me. He rubs his neck against my neck. The side of his face pushes up my cheek and ear. He groans like he’s getting pleasure out of it.

If I had all my faculties, I’d bite his ear off. But I can’t even lift my arms. I think my condition is getting worse.

“There. All better. We will have to do that a lot.” He kisses my forehead.

“Bunny,” I say with my soft jaw and loose lips, but I can’t say anything more.

“She was being abused by her pack, or rather, that’s what the courts ruled. That’s why she slipped into bond sickness and my bite killed her.”

He sighs and touches my face, looking me in the eye.

“She had a well-established pack when I came into her life.” He lets me go and sits down on the coffee table in front of me.

“And I wanted to know everything. I buddied up with her pack. They were all such an unsuitable match and had a weak pack leader. Bunny was 29. I was 19. Most of her pack were in their 30‘s and 40’s. Too old to ever change to my liking. After just a couple of weeks, I realized I didn’t want anything to do with them.

I just wanted Bunny. For an omega to sever a pack bond, it’s pretty dangerous.

But I helped her through it as much as I could.

I separated her from them. Which was really tough.

She scratched her bond marks to bloody messes.

She was so unhinged. She didn’t sleep for days.

I purged her of all their scents. It was only me she was getting affection from. Only I could love her in that state.

“But she didn’t get any better. My last ditch effort to bite her, it…” Boone gets wispy eyes. Not quite crying. Not quite anything. “It killed her.”

Fucking fuck fuck. He’s going to kill me, too.

I’m thrashing around, trying to get the feeling back in my body. But eventually I lose out and my head flops back.

“Maybe it’s time to sleep, pretty omega. We got a long road ahead of us. Once I’ve severed your bond. Then I’ll bite you and you’ll be mine. Cannot tell you how patient I’ve been when it comes to that pretty little cunt of yours.”

I can’t feel or think anymore. It’s just my breaths and me. I can’t be here! Oh my god!

And then I’m out like a light.
