Hidden Omega

JAYDEN POV

I looked to the white ceiling and listened to the silence of the entire place. At least at the prison there was noise to occupy your mind. Here, alone, was pure torture.

A knock came to the door and echoed through the silence. I rushed over as my mind reverted back to a few weeks before and knew they were finally home. I threw the door open with excitement to see my new lawyer smile to me and my heart ached.

"Glad to see your out." She analyzed my face and her smile faded a bit. "Its the first time I've seen you with facial hair."

I let her in and brought her to the kitchen table. We sat down quietly, "do you want anything to drink?"

She shook her head, "I'm okay." She began taking papers out of her bag. "I was surprised to get a personal call from Elijah yesterday."

"Does he file more charges against me?"

A slight smile came to her face, causing me to feel anxious but hopeful. "Will seems to have calmed Elijah down. He was the reason you got out."

"Will?" I fought out as I could bȧrėly breath with the pressure in my ċhėst.

"The kids want to talk to you."

"The kids? Why?"

She gently pat my hand on the table, "they miss you." She let out a slight sigh, "but don't get your hopes up too much. They have expressed anger towards you for what happened, but they miss talking to you occasionally. Will said they became used to you being in their lives and they are struggling with cutting off all contact so suddenly."

"The kids want me..."

"Jayden..." she sighed again, "I don't think that's the case. They miss you but, frankly, you screwed up their lives really bad. You hurt their Mom...you hurt them...you tore up the family they finally got to have."

I pulled my fingers through my hair with frustration with myself, "I know that... I know. I'm just glad they want anything to do with me."

We were quiet for a few moments as everything sank in. "Elijah also offered to settle all of this out of court, if you want."

"Yes!"

"But if we do, it's mainly for your benefit. You have to agree to all of Will's conditions."

"What conditions?"

"I'm not sure of the exact details yet, but he mentioned taking part in an experimental medication trial."

"What? Medication? Will is participating in a medical trial?"

She nodded, "he started it a few days after moving."

"Why would he do that? What does the medication do? Will doesn't take medications!"

"It..."

"It what?!"

She gulped and looked away, "it has the potential to break destined partner bonds."

I felt sick, like I needed to throw up. I leaned back in the chair as I tried to keep from losing control of my emotions.

"He can't do that."

"He already did."

"NO!" I yelled and she jumped slightly, "we have a bond! He can't just break it! It's not possible!"

"That's what I think too."

I took a moment and thought about what to do. There's no way a medication could destroy our bond. We're destined to be together for life! Nothing will change that! I have to get him to come to me so he can see a medication can't break us apart!

I messed up and it will take some time for them to forgive me. But they will trust me someday and then we can be a real family. My father won't get in the way this time and I can give them what they deserve.

"I want to talk to him," I insisted, "in person. It has to be just the two of us."

"Jayden," she sighed deeply. "That's a lot to ask. If you push them too much they might insist to go to court." She glanced to me, "I know you said you don't want to go to court, but I'm confused on why. You're an Alpha and he's an Omega. Alphas always win cases against Omegas."

I looked to her before looking down to the table, "winning the kids through force will ruin things more. If I do that, Will will hate me even more and then we can't ever fix things. Then the kids will never trust me and nothing will change."

She anylized my face, "are you sure you don't want to just break things off with him? Then you can move on and they might drop the charges. You might even be able to get your job back."

"I want them. Not my job, not anyone else. I was happy with them, more than ever before." I looked to her sadly, "please, just ask if he would be willing to meet. I don't want to let things continue like this. The kids will suffer more than either of us if things don't change."

She put her things back in the bag with a deep sigh, "I'll see what I can do. But I won't make any promises."

"Thanks."

As she left, I went upstairs and sat in Addie's nursery. I kept reassuring myself that there's no way a medication can destroy our bond.

Doubt kept creeping into my mind...but what if it does work? How can I fix it? I'll have to bond with him again before he can leave me. If we meet in person, I will bite him so we can never be apart again.. He is mine and I will NEVER let him go.
