Hidden Omega

JAYDEN POV

Another knock came to the door and I was shocked stiff as two people came into the room. Cora smiled with a slight wickedness as she stood beside him.

"What are you doing here?" I asked as I felt my heart race and my stomach flip.

The giant smirk on Elijah's face made anxiety explode inside me. The manilla folders in his hand sent my mind racing.

"You weren't invited to the wedding, Elijah. You have no right to be here."

Elijah chuckled slightly, "hello, father. I'm sorry for the intrusion, but I believe you will be glad that I came soon enough." He came closer to the group and we all looked to Adeline as she rushed over to him while Cora came and filled Adeline's previous spot on the couch.

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming, Elijah?"

He sighed, "things have escalated quite quickly and I have not had enough time to talk with you." His eyes locked on mine, "Jayden has been quite busy the past 24 hours. For our mutual acquaintance's sake, I'm going to give you a chance to let everyone know what is going on before I tell them."

I rushed to my feet and over to him. I grabbed him by the shirt and yanked his face closer to mine. "Where is he?!" I growled quietly and ignored Adeline as she grabbed my arm to try to pull me off him. "I know you're hiding him! He is MINE!"

"Come on in!" Elijah called and I was shocked by the two people that came in the door.

"He's not yours and never will be, ȧsshole." Hunter hissed and I let go of Elijah.

"What is this Elijah?!" Father yelled as we looked to him, "I demand an explanation!"

Elijah moved away from me and walked over to the couches. He went to Jenny with a large smile. "Its nice to finally meet you, Jenny. I am Elijah Reed, Jayden and Adeline's half brother." He held one of the manilla folders towards her, "it is unfortunate that this is our first time meeting and I come with bad news. But I feel you should know who you are truly planning to marry." She paused before slowly taking it and looking to me with confusion.

"Elijah," Father growled, "you are stepping over your bounds. Stop. Now."

He went over and extended a manilla folder towards father, "there is no stopping this, father. Jayden has broken the law and is being arrested after this."

Mother yanked the folder out of father's hands as he tried to throw it onto the ground. "Mother, stop!" I insisted as she looked to me. "You know how jealous Elijah is of us! I'm sure he's fabricated something to try to destroy our family."

"If I may," Asher said as he moved closer. "I am Asher William's, the friend and witness to the person filing charges against Jayden. Not a single thing in those documents is fake. Your son is a monster and it's high time you found out what he's been doing."

"He chose me, Asher!" I yelled, "you have nothing to do with us!"

"Him? Us?" Jenny asked with confusion, "who in the world are you talking about?"

Hunter scoffed, "we are talking about Will Maurer. Jayden's OTHER fiance, destined partner, mate of 7 years, and parent to his 3 children." He smirked at me, "well, now it is his ex-fiance."

Jenny's face turned pale as she looked at me in horror and I moved over towards her, "he's nothing to me, Jenny. I had a destined partnership, but I left him for you."

"HIM?!"

"Although they are horrible photos, he is in them." Hunter explained as pain lingered in his voice.

Elijah glared at me, "Jayden found out his mate, Will, learned about you and this wedding. Jayden went back to him yesterday morning and attacked Will. As you will see in the police report," he said as his gaze went to our father's horrified face. "Jayden rȧpėd and nearly killed Will yesterday before trying to confine him against his will."

"Its also not the first time he rȧpėd Will," Hunter added as I frozen in horror. "He rȧpėd Will at least twice before. That is how they conceived the twins and their daughter who is less than 6 months old."

When Jenny tried to open the folder, I rushed to take it. Cora slapped my hand away, shocking me to my very core. "I stood by and watched you hurt that poor man. I WILL NOT let you get away with this or drag Jenny down with you!"

I heard someone choke out a cry and saw my mother's tears fall as she looked in the folder. "Oh my god." She looked to Elijah, "this is the same man you brought to the party? He looks so different."

He sighed deeply, "after being in Jayden's continual care for a year, he doesn't look like himself anymore."

"These...these wounds...oh god!" She looked to me again, "did you do this to that poor boy?"

"Poor boy?!" Father huffed, "he is a lowly male Omega! Jayden was just ȧsserting his dominance over HIS Omega."

"Will is not a thing!" Asher yelled as she stared down my father, "it's Alphas like you that tarnish our gender! Will is no less than you! If anything, he's more than any of you will ever be!"

Father laughed in a way that even caused me to hesitate, "this is why I told you to get rid of that Omega, Jayden. He's not worth the trouble."

I felt anger rise in my, "I would NEVER get rid of Will!" I yelled and everyone froze. "He is MINE! He will ALWAYS be mine and needs ME! No matter what I do, he WILL wait for me AND accept me!"

Hunter rushed over to me and got into my face, "he's already gone! He isn't yours! He doesn't need you; if anything, YOU need him!" He sneered, "I knew you were worthless from the very beginning! So did Will!" I felt my blood boil and my body shake with rage.

I shoved him away and glared, "he loves me!"

Elijah chuckled, "not anymore." He crossed his arms, "and how do you think THEY will feel when they find out? He has to tell them. THEY have already become suspicious of his mental and physical wounds." He turned to mother and gestured towards the folder, "I thought you may want to at least see what your grandchildren look like. After this, you will never see them again."

"They are MY children!" I hissed, "he can't take them from me!"

"Then why didn't you choose them?!" Cora suddenly yelled and I turned with surprise. Jenny looked to her in astonishment. "I love Jenny, but Will and those kids deserved someone who would take care of them! You put them through hell! Even so, he gave you another chance and you chose someone else!" She grabbed Jenny's hand, "you're my best friend, Jenny. I can't let you marry this b***ard! You AND Will deserve better."

"Without this cursed bond, he NEVER would've chose you!"

I ran at Asher and grabbed him by the jacket. He suddenly smiled and looked behind me, "is that enough cause?"

"Keep it short." Elijah replied in a confident way.. Before I knew it, I was lying on my back with my face feeling like it was on fire.
