Hidden Omega

I heard Elijah walk off but knew Asher still waited, "please let me in. I want to help."

"You will make the pain worse," I cried as I shook harder, "we can't be together and there is nothing we can do to fix it."

I heard rushing feet, "Nick!" Chase called as I quickly stood and unlocked the door. All three men seemed surprised at how quickly I opened the door and collapsed into Chase. "What's wrong?" He insisted as he squeezed me to him.

"My wound," I whispered and felt Chase tense.

"Get a nurse," Chase insisted, "quickly before it gets worse." I heard Elijah rush off.

"What wound?"

Chase began shaking, "as if an Alpha could understand! Just leave us alone!" He took a deep breath, "if you want to help, send Sean to the kids and get Cam."

Asher walked off and I could not hold on anymore. I collapsed onto the ground as Chase followed me down. He held my upper body off the floor by embracing me. I felt my pants beginning to soak in blood, "Chase, don't tell them. Please."

He nodded, "I won't tell anyone but the nurse. It's not their business anyway."

"Will!" Cam called as I looked to see him rushing over to me and Asher following close behind. I looked towards Hunter's room to see Sean rush down the hallway towards the playground. "Oh my God." Cam whispered as I saw his eyes lock on the back of my pants. "What happened?!"

I squeezed Chase's shirt in my hands, "I'm sure you can figure it out," I whispered as he looked to my face, "I didn't just get this bruise."

I looked to the other side of Chase as a nurse rushed over. Chase immediately spoke up, "he has a large wound on his back end," he stated, "it's been bleeding for over 24 hours and is getting worse."

"Sir, can you stand?"

I shook my head as I refused to look at her. "I don't have enough energy."

"Let's get you to the nurses station." She aided Chase in getting me to my feet. The other three followed as we went to the nurses station. As they set me on a chair, I ġrȯȧnėd before leaning onto Chase.

"We have this. Go," Cam insisted as he looked to Asher and Elijah.

"But..."

Cam's face turned red with anger, "you want to embarrass him more?!" They both paused in shock, "he got rȧpėd and is wounded! You Alphas can't imagine what injuries he has! Just leave!" He shoved them both outside the curtained area before closing it.

I fought not to scream as the nurse covered and wrapped my injury while Cam and Chase aided as much as they could. When it was finished, we made our way back to Hunter's room. The twins locked their eyes on me before beginning to cry. They both ran to me but froze when Chase moved into their way.

"Momma's got a booboo. You can't grab him and need to be gentle, okay?" They both nodded vigorously before he let them pass. They clung to my legs as they cried and I stroked their hair.

"Its alright, it's alright. Everyone is okay now. Stop your tears." I smiled to them as they looked up. "Can you help?" I asked Chase before he picked up Archer and put him in front of me. I took Archer and put him on my left hip, supporting him with my arm as his arms wrapped around my neck. Chase then handed me Ashley and I did the same but on my right side. They both snuggled into my shoulders, "it's okay now. I'm okay."

"You got hurt?" Ashley asked through tears and I smiled to her.

"The nurse helped me feel better."

"Don't leave us," Archer begged as I kissed his forehead.

"I have never and will never leave you." I said with a smirk, "you can't get rid of me." I looked up as I remembered we weren't alone like usual. I blushed slightly as I saw the stupid grin on Hunter's face, "oh shut up, you moron."

Hunter burst into laughter, "I didn't even open my mouth!"

"I'm gonna throw a kid at you," I chuckled, "I'm armed and dangerous."

Hunter laughed so hard he nearly fell out of his bed and wiped his face of tears, "go home, Will," he said with a smile, "you are sicker than me."

I nodded as my face changed to shame, " I'm okay," I replied. But I need to get these two home. It's been a long day."

"Just write down your new number and address for me," Hunter insisted as I looked to the doorway.

"What is the address?"

Elijah smiled before taking a piece of paper out of his coat pocket and writing down on it. He brought it over to Hunter with a smile, "I also put my personal and work number, just in case you need anything. On the other side of the card is the name of my company that Will is going to work at."

"You're giving him a job too?" Asher hissed skeptically.

"It's part of our agreement," I stated before looking to Elijah. "I guess I can follow you."

He gave me a smirk, "I already had one of my men take your car back to our place. I'll drive you so you can focus on recovery."

I ġrȯȧnėd, "you're very annoying,' I mumbled. "Say thank you and good bye," I whispered to the twins and they immediately shot their heads up off my ċhėst and gave a broad smile to the room.

"Thank you!" Ashley sang as Archer followed with a "good bye!" Ashley immediately turned to Hunter, "bye Uncle Hunter!" she cheered before latching back on to me.

I looked to Chase as he took Asher from my arm so that I could carry Ashley a little easier. "Later," I called before we left the room and followed Elijah out to his car.

As Elijah drove us to our new home, the twins fell asleep on either side of Chase in the back seat. Chase put in his ear buds as he leaned back and rested his eyes.

I laid on the window so that the pain lessened.

"Well I have no doubts that he certainly cares for you," Elijah whispered as I looked at him. "Asher really seems to care about you deeply. He certainly loves you and you love him. It's glaringly obvious the moment you two are in a room together. I thought he was going to kill me on the spot when I came in and was so friendly with you."

"It doesn't matter," I replied with a sigh. "We can't be together either way."

"Are you sure?"

I looked at him and annoyance, "do you think I haven't tried and looked to find a way? Why do you even care?"

He smiled but did not take his eyes off the road. "I want to be your friend," he replied and I scoffed but did not respond. "Truthfully, you deserve a lot more than the cards you've been dealt in life."

"But I don't even know you," I grumbled, "you have no reason to care about me. Do you make it a habit of picking up strangers?"

"I told you, you piqued my interest and I want to help you learn that Alphas can be trusted. Maybe not the one that is their father, but the majority of us are not bad people."

I looked back out the window, "my gut is never wrong. There is something you are not telling me and I want to know what it is. If you were not helping Hunter I would have left by now. I also don't believe that you had a sister like me."

Elias side, "you got me there. It is not my sister I talked about, rather my mother. His mate treated him horribly just because he was and Omega. Until the day he died, he was our biggest fear in this world and made him afraid of everything and anything. The moment we met 2 years ago, you immediately reminded me of him. Being so damaged but yet so strong. It made me wanna help you with everything I possibly could and take care of you since I was not able to do that for her."

"But I don't want your pity,"I hissed and he nodded.

"I know and I do not pity you. Rather, I understand you more than most would and I don't wanna see your children witness what I had to. I want them to be able to see how strong you are and not be afraid of the world like I had to be as a child. I want them to be surrounded by others that will treat them fairly regardless of their or their parent's gender. I want to play the role that my mother so desperately needed from someone. I don't want to see you hurt like she was."

"I'm fine on my own."

He suddenly grabbed my hand and I froze, "please," he whispered and seemed to almost choke up, "please don't push me away. All I want is for you and your kids to be happy."

"But there's something else," I insisted. "I wont trust you because you are not telling me the truth."

"But I am! I just want to help you be happy." I pulled my hand away but did not know what to say. "Please, I will gain your trust. Just give me a chance."

"You own me so I have no choice. You are saving Hunter so I will do what you want." We were silent for the rest of the drive until he pulled into a lavish driveway of a large house. I looked in shock as the house of the elite looked back to me. He drove on a small road that went to a smaller, but equally lavish home. He parked and I stared it down.. What the hell am I doing here? This is too much.
