Alpha’s Possession by Jessica Hall Chapter 118

Read Omega’s Possession by Jessica Hall Book 2 Chapter 16 – Rhen’s POV
Harlow was fading in and out of consciousness, Raidon was on the phone with
his mother, and I was on the phone to get an ambulance, the medic trying to
explain what to do, but we weren’t doctors or surgeons, and it was clear
something has gone wrong.
“Mom’s here,” Raidon says, opening the front door. Elaine rushes into the dining
room, where Thane placed Harlow on the table. “How far away is the
ambulance?” she panics, looking at me. “Ten minutes out,” I tell her.
She goes over to Harlow and checks her before staggering back. She shakes
her head, and Thane grabs her, shaking her. “Elaine?” he snarls.
Blood was soaking the table, so much, that it was dripping off the side. “I think
it’s placenta abruption,” “No, we had her checked earlier when she was asleep,
Doc said she was fine,” Thane tells her. The pack doctor came out earlier. The
baby was fine, so what she said made no sense.
“Let me out of this chair, I can f**king help,” Leo snarls, and Thane glares at
him. What’s he going to do? “Where is dad?” Raidon worries.
“Stuck in theater, we need to get the baby out,” I could tell Elaine was freaking
out herself. She was a but she hadn’t actually practiced medicine in years, and
she definitely is not a surgeon. She hushes us, waving her arms to shut us up,
her head tilting to the side, and I do the same, hearing the baby’s heartbeat,
though it seems extremely fast.“ Baby is in distress, we… We need,” her eyes
dart around frantically.
Raidon grabs her arms, forcing her to look at him. “Mum? What do you need?”
“I have to get the baby out,” she whispers, though her face was deathly pale at
the thought.
“Oh, for f*ck’s sake let me out, if her placenta has abrupted, I need to get the
baby out before you lose both of them?” Leo snarls, banging his feet on the
ground and tugging on the chains.
“Harlow, I need you to stay awake, for me,” Thane tells her, but her eyes flutter,
and Leon is pumping her full of his blood. “My baby,” she murmurs.
“Elaine, you know I can help,” Leo yells and Thane goes to tell him to shut up.
Leo was no doctor. However, the moment Elaine’s eyes fell on him. “Leo?” she
asks before she . takes off into the living her room.“ Whose got the f*cking key?
Now!”
Raidon rummages through his Irum pockets, tossing it to her. “What are you
doing?” Thane demands. “We haven’t got time for this,” Elaine starts frantically
undoing the chains while Leo unravels them.
“He was in medical school with me, he is a trained obstetric surgeon,”
“Huh?” I blurt and so does Raidon.
“He lost his medical license, he was caught selling the drugs.”
“Hurry up, and I need towels, a scalpel,”
“We don’t keep that sh*t here,”
“Claws it is, then,” Leo says, shoving past us the moment Elaine undoes his
hands. “You’re not touching my f**king mate or our baby.”
“If you want them to live, I will be,” Leo tells him and Elaine presses a hand to
Thane’s chest.
“He can help, he was top of all his classes, worked with Charles for three
years,” Elaine tells him, but LEU SIUVES past hiin, not giving a care for
permission. He tears Harlow’s shirt open.
“Hold her down, she’ll pass out quickly enough and you, you need to be ready
to feed her your blood,” he says, looking at Leon.
“Wait, you can’t just cut into her, she is awake,” Raidon protests.
“Barely she is f**king bleeding out. What she does remember will be brief,” Leo
snarls at him, “Do you want them both to die?” Thane backs away from him,
though he watches him like a hawk. I look away, unable to watch him cut into
her with his claws, instead I focus on the baby’s heartbeat, which is now starting
to slow down and growing fainter. I hear the sound of her flesh tearing, hear her
brief shriek. Leo was right, she passed out almost instantly.
Leon I could hear continually biting his wrist, feeding her his blood. Seconds felt
like hours as the smell of her blood filled the room.
“Stop, you’re healing her around my hands,” Leo says. I hear more flesh tearing,
the sounds would forever haunt me, the sloshing and scraping sounds. Raidon I
see looks rather pale, like he may faint. “As soon as I pull her out, Elaine, you
need to get the placenta out, then hold her skin together, so he can heal her fast
enough,” Leo says, and I can hear sirens, but they are so faint I knew they were
still a ways off.
“Now!” Leo snaps at Elaine, and I look over at the table and instantly Teyret il.
Elaine was clearing out the placenta frantically, while Leo had our daughter in
his hands, sticking his fingers in her mouth to clear out the gunk.
My heart stops when he starts rubbing her back, she is floppy in his hand when
she suddenly lets out an ear-piercing scream.
I exhale before my eyes go back to Harlow who is deathly pale, but her stomach
heals together with Leon’s blood, and I see Raidon also feeding her his when
she gasps, breathing hard. She looks around frantically, and Leo slashes the
cord, tying it in a knot. Elaine places the placenta in a bowl, wiping her with
some towels she retrieved.
“Lucky girl, if you were both human, you would probably be dead,” Leo says,
wrapping our daughter in a towel. Harlow whimpers and we all kind of stand
there, knowing a man Thane was about to kill is now holding our daughter in his
hands. Harlow whimpers, her skin still pale as her hands grasp air, trembling,
even looking half dead, her canines slip out, we all stood there in horror,
knowing one twist, and he could kill her.
Harlow’s eyes flicker, and shifting right now would put her life in danger, but she
was willing to risk it if needed, that much was clear. He turns looking at her and I
see Thane tense and take a step toward him.
Our daughter screams, ear-piercing cries, her little lips quivering and face
screwed up. Elaine, noticing us all frozen with our eyes on Leo also tenses
when she goes to move the bowl with the placenta and cord in it. Elaine also
turning to look at Leo. He rocks her toweled body in his hands, patting her bum.
“Shh, shl, okay, okay, I will give you to your mother, is my ugly mug scaring you
is it,” he coos, passing her to Harlow. I nearly faint from relief when Harlow’s
shaking hands all but s*atch her from him.
“Can I at least wash my hands before you kill me, I prefer not to die wearing
your mate,” Leo asks, Thane nods watching him follow Elaine to the kitchen.
Yet, I turn back to Harlow and I see Raidon follow his mother and Leo.
Moving closer, Harlow tucks the towel under our daughter’s chin, looking down
at her. “Hello, Scarlet,” Harlow whispers, kissing our daughter’s head, and
Thane gasps while I choke on the name she gave her, knowing how much
Thane’s sister meant to him.
“Can someone please get me off this table? My back is aching,” Harlow groans,
arching her back. Thane doesn’t move, staring in shock like he couldn’t believe
either of them were here, so I move, scooping my arms under her. Harlow tucks
baby Scarlett closer. Glancing down, I see bright silver eyes peering back at me,
and a full head of light brown hair, matted in blood.
“I’ll remove the door,” Thane says, rushing off to the basement door, and I hear
the sirens louder and know they are now coming up the driveway. That was the
longest ten minutes of my life.
