Chapter 104 - Alphas Possession
Read Omega’s Possession by Jessica Hall Book 2 Chapter 2 – Thankfully, I let Thane cook; it was worth giving up my nonexistent chef’s hat for. Besides, if I gave them burnt noodles, it would have left a great impression on my in-laws and probably a bad taste in their mouths.
Dinner was quite pleasant, surprisingly. Leon and Rhen cleared the table, and now with nothing to distract me from speaking with the woman, I kind of wanted to flee, but then Rhen and Leon returned with a cinnamon and custard tart I hadn’t realized Thane also made. And no way was I missing dessert.
Thane snorts when I go to get up but then immediately sit down, seeing dessert. Grabbing my spoon, Elaine gets up, grabbing the bag Raidon retrieved for her, and I freeze. Instead of approaching-II—-me, however, she passes it to Raidon, who in turn passes it to me. I let out a breath of relief, knowing that she wouldn’t suffocate me by coming over.
“I got a few things for the baby and also a few sentimental things from when Raidon was a pup,” she tells me, nodding toward the bag.
“Huh?” Raidon says, leaning forward and looking in the bag. His mother slaps his shoulder.
“Let her open it,” she snaps at him, and I undo the ribbon pinching the top of the bag together. Reaching in, I pull out some pink crochet booties and a blanket. The wool is soft in my hands as I hold it up.
“I crocheted that for your little one,” she tells me, and I nod, thanking her. And Raidon pushes his chair back, and I refold
it, setting it on his lap, so I don’t ruin it by placing it on the table. Reaching into the bag, I pull out a metal rattle with a teddy bear on it. Leon snorts beside Raidon, and Raidon groans, making me look at him.
“Don’t you dare,” he hisses at his mother, making me glance at her while
Thane tried and failed to contain his laughter on my other side. Charles shakes his head, sitting back in his chair and draping his arm over the back of Elaine’s chair. I looked at Elaine. It was quite heavy for a baby rattle.
“Raidon called that his Bam Bam; he had an obsession with the flintstones when he was a child,” Elaine chuckles, and Raidon growls.
“This was Raidon’s?” I ask her, and she nods, and Rhen snorts, making me look at him questionably.
“Always trying to embarrass me,” Raidon. mumbles.
“I think it is sweet,” I tell him.
“Yeah, sweet, when he was a baby, he even took that thing to school,” Thane laughs beside me. I look at Raidon, whose cheeks turn a little red.
“Yep, he took it everywhere with him, had to all but pry it from his hands when he was ten after he smacked his teacher in the head with it,” Charles tells me.” That pr*ck deserved it, calling my mom a wh*re,” Raidon grumbles.

Elaine shakes her head and makes a strange noise. “Anyway, after we all left, we decided to get charms to represent each milestone,” she tells me, showing me hers. She pinches a charm between her fingers. A flower, the one in my hand of Hana’s, had the same.
“The flower represents our time in the facility and us blooming, the same facility she got you from Harlow,” she tells me, and I am taken aback. Some strange emotion chokes me hearing that, knowing that we were connected in a way I never imagined possible.
“The carousel represents my three years on rotation before Hana set me free,” she grabs the next one; it is a little birdcage with the door open. “This one represents my mate setting me free of the cage Omega’s are put in when in the system,” The next one was a medical symbol caduceus and a tassel; these two represent my time in medical school and
graduating.” The next was a ring, “Me finally marrying Charles, and this one,” she holds up an R. “Is for having Raidon, and this is the last one,” she shows me the charm of a baby. “Hana and I got together. It represents our future grandchild,” she tells me, and I nod, looking down at the same charm on Hana’s bracelet.
Hana’s also had the ring. Also, the letters Tand S, which I now know, must represent her children. Elaine leans forward, showing me the other Charms on Hana’s bracelet. One looked like a tiny little mirror. “Hana got this one, said what she sees in the mirror does not define her, she was more than an Omega, she refused to conform,” Elaine tells me before moving to the next one, it was a little book. “This represents the history of Omegas,” she tells me, and my brows furrow.
“History?” Elaine nods. “Yes, we weren’t, always slaves to the system, Omegas were celebrated; revered not how it is today,” she tells me. Hana also had a tiny birdcage, and then I saw a little unicorn.“ This she got after Scarlett passed,” she moved to the next, and it was a little
gavel. “This one was for her fight against the system. She tried everything to get the laws changed,” Elaine tells me, and I peek over at Thane, who is staring at the table.
“And this one?” I ask, holding up the little crown. Elaine smiles sadly. I remember she was happy when she got this one. She was in shock at first,” she whispers.
“What’s it represent?” I ask her. “Becoming equal to her mates,”
“When she took their serum?” I ask her. Elaine shakes her head.
“No, that didn’t make her equal. The serum doesn’t make you of equal power. This made her more than them. It was an older tradition, one that was long forgotten,”
I tilt my head to look at Thane. “I told you my mother was their equal.”
“I thought you meant the serum,” I whisper, and he shakes his head.
“This one represents something more than the serums, more than marriage ever could,” Elaine tells me.
“It takes a very strong Alpha to do that. It’s not in our nature. It goes against everything that makes us Alpha,” Charles chimes in, smiling sadly at his wife. “I have never expected it of you,” she tells — ——— him, and he nods while I turn my attention back to her.
“This one was to represent her becoming their Luna,” she tells me.
“Luna?” I ask. It wasn’t a word I was familiar with. Elaine nods her head, but it is Thane who answers.
“My fathers submitted to her. She became the Alpha,” Thane tells me, and I didn’t even think that was possible, it went against nature and instinct, so I understood what Charles meant by his words. “It also caused an uproar when the city realized they would now be answering to a woman in charge,” Elaine tells me.
