Alpha's Possession by Jessica Hall

Chapter 30

Thane POV

I was not an idiot, I knew what Raidon and Leon were doing in that room while the rest of us were god damn working. Now they were all standing in the damn corridor. “Now!” I call to my mates as they loiter in the office hallway.

They rush inside and I turn my attention back to Leila, who sat across from me. She knew she fucked up, and she glanced nervously at my mates as they entered. They would not help her. One thing we were all in agreement on was that she fucked up. Rhen waits for them to enter before closing the door behind them.

“Where are Zara’s files?” I ask Leila, and she blanches and stutters over an answer.

“Don’t lie to me,” I warn her, and she pinches the bridge of her nose and exhales. When she looks up, Rhen moves toward her, sitting on the edge of my desk though I know he did that deliberately so I wouldn’t reach over and strangle the bloody woman.

“I have her resume and her ID,” Leila offers nervously, and a growl escapes me. I hold my hand out for it, and she quickly rummages through her folders with shaky hands spilling some on the floor in her haste to retrieve them. She produces the few documents she finds and hands them to me, and I quickly glance at them, having seen these already because Raidon and Rhen gave the same bloody things to me the other day.

“Did you check her references?” I ask, knowing she bloody couldn’t have because the owner of her previous work was dead. Leila bites her lip, and I growl at her for her carelessness. Rhen plucks the papers from my fingertips, reading them over again and sighing.

“Not that you can since that place burned down months ago,” he mutters, just as annoyed as me. He understood the risk Leila had put us in.
