Hidden Omega

"Either meet me in front of the building now or consider our deal over!"

The phone went dead and I sighed deeply. Goddamn Alphas. What the hell is up with him?!

I rushed to the elevator and went to the main level. I walked out of the front door and looked around. Where the fuċk is he?! Making me rush while pregnant when he isn't even here?!

I froze when a hand wrapped around my wrist and began dragging me off. I turned to see Jayden pulling me to the far side of the building to a small alleyway. His grip was beyond tight and his pheromones blew up. I struggled to keep my mind and on my feet.

Jayden finally stopped, but I trembled as he shoved me against the brick wall. I felt breathless and overwhelmed just by his presence. His eyes finally hit mine, but this time I felt no pŀėȧsurė. I felt terror as I saw his insane eyes and felt his harsh breath.

I winced as he grabbed my chin and got within inches of my face. A wicked smile came to his face and realized he's going to kill me.

"You think you can run from me?!"

I blinked back tears, "Jay, calm down. I...."

He trembled as his face became desperate as his smile twisted to pure pain. "I won't let you!"

"Jayden," I whispered as I used my hand that was not being held to touch his cheek. He finally lessened his pheromones, "what are you freaking out about? What happened?"

"You're moving the kids?!"

I paused; how'd he know that?! I just said that a few hours ago!

"I'm moving them to a different school," I insisted as his eyes softened, "there are issues at their school so I am looking to find another good school nearby."

His entire body loosened and embraced me tightly. "Thank god," he whispered, "I didn't know what to do!"

I gently hugged him in fear of another blow up. "We aren't leaving," I whispered, "I promise not to leave this time."

Jayden lifted his head and gently stroked my hair as our eyes met. I felt a tremble go through my body as he gently kissed me. He held me closer but with softness. His kisses became more loving and my mind shut off. I shuddered as I held him back and allowed him to press me against the wall behind me.

"Jay," I whispered as he growled slightly before his tongue slid in and ċȧrėssed mine. My heart skipped as I held him closer and let a mȯȧn.

"I love you," he whispered between kisses.

When I felt his hand begin moving down my body above my clothes, I felt my heart drop. It's just about sėx again. Groping me in broad daylight, this damn Alpha pig.

Jayden's hand stopped on my stomach and didn't move any further, "both of you and the twins." He stated sweetly before kissing me again. My heart fluttered and strained as he placed his forehead on mine. "I'm a jerk," he whispered as our eyes met, "I'm sorry. I heard you were moving them and I just went insane."

I smiled slightly, "its okay, but I need to get back. Elijah will worry."

He sighed, "I know. I'll see you tomorrow night?"

I nodded before walking back to the building. My mind began to race. Who told him that? As I waited for the elevator, my mind sparked. That bastard!

As the elevator stopped, I rushed out and saw Aurora stand up. I only looked at her for a moment before rushing into Elijah's office. Elijah quickly stood as he saw me rush in. I came over and my fist slammed into his desk.

"David is a spy for Jayden."

He looked to me with shock, "what?"

I sat down in the chair across from him in a slump. "Jayden suddenly showed up here and was going nuts. Saying that I was planning to take the kids away." I glared at him, "not even two hours ago, I asked Aurora if she knew any good schools and that I plan to move my kids. Then he all the sudden knows that information? I trust Aurora and have told her personal things he has never hinted at knowing. It has to be David! He's been here longer than me, so he probably has been here watching you."

Elijah sighed, "I figured it was someone, but not him." He sat down and looked to me, "send him in."

I gave a smirk, "can I at least punch him."

He chuckled, "let this one slide. I got it covered."

I walked out and went over directly to David. He scowled at me as I got close, "Elijah would like to see you and," I got right in his face as I collected all the anger I had in my eyes. "He wants to give his regards to your boss, you snake."

I stood and watched David's face turn pale. I smirked as he slowly walked into Elijah's office. I hope he beats the living shit outta him.

Tuesday came and went quicker than expected. Work without David was a lot easier, catching up with Kat was relieving, and, surprisingly, Jayden had to cancel at the last minute for our planned meeting. I woke up Wednesday to a quiet house and realized Bridget must have already taken the kids to school. I was confused when the doorbell rang as I wasn't expecting anyone since Elijah wanted me to take the day off. I rushed to the door but paused as a mail carrier greeted me.

"'Morning," he said with a slight smile before presenting a clipboard to me. "If you could sign, please."

I quickly did so and he handed a small package to me, "thanks," I said before he walked off and I shut the door. What the hell is this? It's got my name on it but I haven't ordered anything.

I brought it to the couch and stared at it. I racked my brain to determine what it was and double checked it had my name on it. My curiosity got the best of me and I finally unwrapped the paper covering it. A dark red box with gold trim looked back at me. I finally opened the box and froze at its contents. A thin, silver chain going through a white gold ring band. Don't do this, you dumbass. We were just starting to get along.

I took a second look and noticed something on the band. I took it out of the soft cloth surrounding it. Three gems and two words brought me to tears. I squeezed it in my hand and held it to my ċhėst. That's cheating, damn it. My heart fluttered as I began crying.

My phone rang and I sighed, "hello?"

"Sounds like it got there."

I sniffled with a slight laugh, "that's a low blow."

Jayden sighed in a lovesick way, "did I get the gems right? I'm not really good with that kinda stuff." I looked back to it, "two diamonds for Ashley and Archer and the doctor said mid-September so I got Sapphire."

I choked up, "yeah that's right."

"I will have her name added once we decide on it." He said kindly, "consider it an apology for canceling last minute."

"I didn't need an apology."

He sighed, "but I want to keep to my word, regardless of how important it is. I'm doing my best to gain your trust."

"I nearly had a heart attack, thinking you got me a ring like an idiot."

"I made you take off one that was important to you," he said in a deep side. "I hope this can repair some of that loss."

I smiled slightly, "thank you, Jayden." I whispered, "its incredible."

I heard him gulp, "would you come to dinner with me tonight?" He paused as I froze, "not because of our deal or our kids or our destined partnership. Could you just eat dinner with me?"

Fuck. What do I do? "I don't know," I stated with hesitation, "you're moving too fast again. I'm still trying to get used to this."

"Please, just dinner. I just want to spend time with you."

"Alright," I said with a sigh, "come get me at 8."

With pure excitement in his voice he replied, "I'll see you then."

I hung up the phone and looked to the ring again. I slowly laid down on the couch and just looked at the ring. All afternoon and evening, I could not keep my mind off of the ring hanging around my neck. When I got a text from Jayden, I got ready as I knew the kids were asleep and Chase was out with his "friend". Bridget had agreed to secrecy as she knew this was important for the kids. She would always support Elijah, but also thought Jayden should be a part of the kid's lives.

When another text came, I rushed out of the house and snuck out of the property. Jayden was standing, waiting beside his sports car and quickly stood at attention when he saw me. I went directly to the passenger's side and he got back into his side.

As he began driving, he gently took my hand in his. He brought it to his lips and kissed the back of it gently. He kept my hand as he continued driving.

"I've missed you." He said as I saw a smile come to his face.

"Missed me? We saw each other just a few days ago and talked on the phone."

He brought my hand back to his lips and kissed it three more times before moving our hands to rest on the console. "It feels like a lot longer than that. And I enjoy talking on the phone, but it is nothing compared to being with you."

"Don't become clingy," I mocked as he chuckled.

"I'm doing my best not to be so clingy, but I can't help it. I'm so crazy about you and, then our destined partnership added, makes me feel like I am going to die without you at my side."

"Focus that love to the kids. They are the ones you need."

He squeezed my hand slightly, "I need you too. I love the kids and need them with me but you are much more than that. I..." he paused and seemed to be unable to find words, "I don't know how to explain such strong feelings. There aren't words that can describe it fully." He began gently rubbing my hand with his thumb, soothing me somewhat. "You're all I think about every moment of the day, night, and even my dreams. All I can focus on is how much longer it will be until a see you.. I keep racking my brain for how I can gain your trust, express my feelings, and prove that I am different from the jerk you knew before."
