An Hour EarlierHarlow POVI must have dozed off at some point because I was awoken by Thane placing a tray on my lap and Raidon shaking me awake. Lifting my head off Raidon’s chest, I find a tray with French toast and coffee. My hand instantly goes for the coffee. “You seem calmer,” Thane says, and I nod, taking a sip of the coffee. “Eat,” grumbles Raidon, tapping the tray and picking up a piece of toast. I roll my eyes at his bossiness, but still pick up a piece, tearing a junk off. “Where’s Rhen?” I ask after swallowing. “At work,” Leon says, stepping out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist; my eyes roam over his muscled body, and I lick my lips. My hunger for other things rearing its damn ugly head. Raidon chuckles. “Our Omega has turned into a Nympho,” he purrs, making me look at him. I glare at him, and he pinches my chin between his fingers, forcing my face to his. His lips brush mine softly, and I growl, biting his lip. He chuckles, snapping his teeth next
Raidon POV Racing down the stairs, I could feel Rhen’s fear, and that man much like Thane feared nothing, so I knew he must be in dire circumstances he knew he couldn’t handle on his own. My feet miss some stairs as I fly down them to reach the bottom floor and snatch the keys off the hook by the door. Thane barrels into my back, plucking them from my hand as he opens the door. And I see his eyes glaze over as he hits the key fob. No doubt Rhen telling him what’s going on. He jumps in the car and I throw myself in the passenger side before looking down to find I only have a towel on.The roof of his car hits the garage door, not having a chance to fully lift as he pulls out and spins the car around. He hits the button above his head for the gate and presses his foot down on the gas. “Suit hanging in back behind you,” Thane says, not taking his eyes off the long driveway. I twist, snatching it and unclipping my seat belt when I hear the gate slide across his side of the car. He cur
HarlowLeon was tense as we showered, and it had me on edge. Climbing out, Leon was still washing shampoo from his hair. “Wait, don’t leave without me,” Leon says, frantically washing the soap from his hair as I wrap a towel around myself. My face scrunches up, wondering what has got into him. He has barely said anything to me since they left. Hearing the doorbell, I glance at the door.“Harlow!” Leon snaps at me, but I ignore him, retrieving one of Raidon’s shirts and slipping it on. “I’m just answering the door,” I huff before moving toward the bedroom door. The moment I step into the hall, I hear the front door kicked in, making me jump. “A scream of fright leaves my lips, only to be muffled by Leon’s hand. My breathing is harsh as he sniffs the air, when I hear the cleaner demanding to know who they are. “We are here to find the Omega,” comes a gruff voice, my eyes widen at the demand. Leon holds a finger to his lips and lets me go before ushering me to the back of the house, wh
“Harlow, you have two minutes before I put a bullet in his head,” he screams out. My hands shook as I remained where I was, when Leon’s voice flitted through my head. “Stay where you are, don’t fucking move, Harlow,” he snapped at me.Leon is kicked, and he doubled over coughing, one hand on the ground as he wheezed when another man dragged the yardman off from the side, he was begging and pleading as he was dumped next to Leon. “Now Harlow, or I kill—” he looks down at the Gardener. “Whoever this is,” he says waving the gun at him, he still stared at the mansion not realizing I was not in it. “Five minutes out, the road is blocked!” Come’s Thane’s furious voice, when pain suddenly tore through me from Rhen, dropping me to my knees. Leon screamed, clutching his chest and I gasp for air, clutching my stomach as I feel Rhen’s tether breaking, feel all my mate's agony only to look up and see men racing toward me. My internal scream I hadn’t realized was actually outward, I choke, and
Leon POVThane tore into Leo, Harlow I could see her caught, frozen like a deer in headlights, her entire back, and her legs bleeding from being dragged. Thane tore into Leo, trying to keep him pushed back and away from her, every time Leo was tossed and slammed near her, his wolf was there taking the brunt while he screamed through the link for me to get up and move her. If she didn’t move soon, it would cost Thane by distracting him, his positioning making it hard for him to kill Leo and not trample Harlow, and Leo recognizing that, he uses it to his advantage, knowing it is the only advantage he has when it comes to Thane.Staggering, I force myself to move. My breath wheezes as I feel my lung trying to heal from collapsing when Harlow screams when Thane is tossed, and he only just catches himself from landing on her and crushing her. She is now caught between his legs; she crawls out, finally moving and coming out of her shock when Thane chomps down on his neck. Leo wails a howl
Harlow Thane was like a raging bull, as he took me to our room. He went straight to the bathroom, muttering under his breath about being forced to leave. I let him, besides I had bigger concerns, my stomach was cramping, my skin hurt, and I needed to shower desperately.Thane turns the shower on, and sits me on the edge of the bath, he tugs the shirt off I am wearing, his eyes trailing over my naked body. Leaning down, he presses his hand to my belly. Our daughter writhing inside me as if she was doing yoga. He lets out a breath, before crouching between my legs, he kisses my belly, my skin tightens and my belly tenses, as it cramps. He jerks back, looking at it, as I grit my teeth. “You look uncomfortable,” “Duh, I feel like I have been skinned,” I exhale, my back was stinging so badly. Thane nods and turns toward the shower and places his hand under the water. “It’s gonna sting, but we need to get the gravel out,” he tells me, pulling me to my feet just as Leon walks in. Thane g
Harlow POVI made Thane ring Jake to let him know to watch out for Corbin, and it was a good distraction while Rhen took me down to speak with Leo. So far, he has been uncooperative. Unwilling to give up his mate, he knew he wasn’t leaving this place alive. I shift uncomfortably on the couch, my enormous belly tightening, and it is making sitting quite painful with the pressure in my groin. “Who told you about Harlow?” Raidon asks for the hundredth time. At this point, he was like a broken record. Leo just laughs when Raidon punches him, and I flinch. Leo growls, spitting blood on the floor. He smirks at me, with his eyes sparkling with mischief.“You look like your mother,” he says, sitting back in his chair—my brows furrow. However, Leo tilts his head to the side. “And to think her two daughters were right under our noses all this time,” he says, baring his teeth. “You knew my mother?” I asked him. Yet the cogs were turning in my head with everything I knew so far, and for some re
“She’s not even registered. She has immunity since Corbin is part of the state parties.”“Maybe so, but I am willing to bet with you out of the picture, Corbin will register her as his own,” Thane tells him. Leo’s eyes widen, and he shakes his head. It appears this man does have conscious after all. He swallows, considering Thane’s words.“Tell me what I need to know. I will ensure that she ends up in my city; she’ll be safe here,” Leo scoffs. “Bullshit, no Omega is safe anywhere,” Leo says.“She will be because I am changing the laws in my city. Omegas will be free to choose here by the time I am finished with the council’s board of directors,”“Fool, you won’t get rid of those laws. They line the government's pockets. That's why your mother never succeeded. The only thing you’ll accomplish is getting yourself knocked for trying, just like your mother did.”“Well, that tells me a different story then," I tell Leo. He raised an eyebrow at me. “Now, the only reason someone would try to
