Hidden Omega

As we finish up the meeting, I followed Eliza back to his office. He held the door open after going in so I knew I was supposed to follow. As I went in, I noticed to dress bags laying across the small table near the door.

Elijah went over and grabbed both of them before extending his arm to present one of them to me.

He smiled were in a goofy way, "I figured you shouldn't look like a host while going to extravegant business events."

I sighed before taking the bag and and unzipping it. Inside was a tuxedo that looked as though it was specially tailored to my build.

I look to him curiously as he gave me a smirk. "Go try it on. I hope that it fits."

I went into his private bathroom and changed into the outfits. As I looked into the mirror, I was amazed to see how much I looked like a true ȧduŀt in such clothing. I came out of the bathroom and saw that Elijah had changed into a similar outfit but with a much darker under shirt.

He froze as he saw me and a lovesick look came across his face. "You look incredible," he whispered as his ears began to turn slightly red.

He came over to me before taking the dress bag, that was now full of my old clothes, and draping it over his arm. He smiled towards me again before beginning out the door and so I followed him.

As we passed Aurora, she blushed a bright red before coming over towards us. She came directly to me, which caught me by surprise. She adjusted my bow tie before looking to me in a very sweet way. "You both look amazing," she whispered before letting go of me. We were both startled when Elijah took my hand and his.

"Let's go, we don't wanna be late."

Aurora look to me with confusion as I allowed Elijah to lead me out of the building and to the car.

After we were both settled, he began driving, but I could tell you looked at me through the corner of his eye. He took a deep breath before letting it out and I could hear him shaking slightly.

"We don't have to go," I suggested and he shook his head vigorously.

"I'm just nervous is all."

I looked at him with curiosity, "as a company president, you should go to these things often. Why are you nervous?"

He finally looked to me before looking back to the road. "My father is going to be there."

I stiffened slightly; holy shit. I let out a deep sigh as I gained as much confidence as I could. "How can I help?"

He looked at me quickly with surprise before looking back to the road. "Are you sure you want to help? It would be a very large favor."

"You want us to be friends, right?" He nodded. "Well friends help each other in difficult times. I can sympathize with your anger towards your father and just want to help you."

He chuckled slightly as he seems uncomfortable. "You truly are unique. That is the first time I felt my heart skip. And you're still the only person that makes me feel comfortable." He paused to try to breath away some of his nervousness, "I have never been to an event my father has held, even though he has invited me to every single one. But with you at my side, I think I can finally do it."

I nodded, "so give me as much information as you can so I can help."

Elijah paused as he gulped and tried to gain confidence. "My father's true family will be in attendance. I have not talked to any of them in many years. The only one I've talked to in the past 5 years is his daughter. The rest of them I have not talked to in over 10 years. If you could," he stated before taking a long pause and I heard him gulp again, "I would like you to play the part of my mate."

I froze as my face began turning to anger, but when I saw his face turn to pure desperation and fear, I calmed myself down. "Why would you want to present me as your mate?"

His grip on the steering wheel tighten slightly, "the last thing that man would want to see is one of his children with a male Omega. It may remind him on my mother and I hope that it hurts him deeply. Maybe he could get just a small ounce of understanding of what he did to me and my mom."

I sighed, "I can do that."

His body seemed to loosen slightly. "I know it is a lot to ask and I am so thankful that you can understand."

I nodded, "I will do everything I can to support you in this. It is the least I can do after you saved Hunter and are taking care of my children."

He smiled slightly but not with any form of confidence. "You are truly a special man."

As we pulled up to a large hotel, Elijah stopped the car and brought the keys out to a valet. I quickly went to him and took his hand in mine. I squeezed it slightly so that he would look to me.

"All you need to focus on right now is showing confidence. I am here for you so you don't need to worry. If you get nervous, just focus on my hand." I then touched his cheek as his face seemed to turn to fear. The fear was not towards me but towards the situation. "Show them how powerful and strong you've become. Prove to them that they are not worth your time and that you never needed them. Make that man regret letting you and your mother go. Present your accomplishments to him and don't back down. Muster all the confidence you can, presenting it in your posture and in your face, even if you have to force it and lie. If you become overwhelmed, leave it to me. These kind of situations don't scare me and I want to help you prove to that Alpha that he is not worth anything to you and that he made a mistake to let you go."

Elijah's face turned to a sickening sweet smile before he leaned down and kissed my cheek. "I don't know what I did to deserve such an amazing person to support me."

I grabbed his collar before pulling him back towards me. I kissed him gently before letting him go with a wicked smile. "Don't forget to play the part. We must be lovers tonight or they will not believe our story."

He looked to me longingly before nodding and wrapping his arm around my waist. He pulled me closely to him as I could feel his slight trembling. I look towards have I gave him a confident smile.

"You are stronger than them," I whispered, "and you're not alone. I am right here so you don't have to be afraid."

Elijah chuckled slightly as he seemed to lessen in his light shaking. "You sound like you're talking to the twins."

I chuckled slightly also, "I did not mean to. It is just how I've learned to talk to support others."

He nodded before focusing on the crowd that we were brought into. Extremely beautiful Alphas and Betas roamed the room in extravagant clothing that made me feel out of place. As we continued moving, a few Omegas were scattered within the group and all immediately looked to me as we came near them. They seem relieved to see someone of their gender. And when I gave them a confident smile, they began blushing, but also seemed to calm down.

I leaned in towards Elijah, "do you see any of them yet?"

He shook his head, "you will know who they are when we come across them. They are too arrogant to miss."

"Will!"

I turned as the familiar female voice called to me again. Elijah looked to me in surprise as I sighed. "I didn't expect you to know anyone here."

I sighed again, "she is quite the handful." I immediately gave Isabella a kind smile as she ran over and hugged me, slightly pushing Elijah away. She let me go as she gave me a broad smile and I quickly took Elijah's hand again.

"What are you doing here?" Isabella asked as her eyes became soft, but she continued glancing down at our joined hands. She gave a wicked glance at Elijah, "so this is who you are escorting today?"

I leaned into Elijah with a lovesick gaze to him, "this is actually my mate."

She looked to him, dumbfounded. "I thought you were with Asher!"

I shook my head, "that was a long time ago. Elijah and I have been together for about six years. We even have children together."

"Children?!" Isabella gasped as even Elijah looked to me in surprise.

"Well, if you will excuse us, we are looking for someone." I turned Elijah around with me and began walking. "Sorry, I just went with the flow. We don't have to say the kids are ours."

He smiled, "no, I'm happy you said that."

I smiled before squeezing his hand slightly, "are you a bit more relaxed?" He smirked before nodding, "I'm glad."

Elijah suddenly froze and I looked to where his gaze went. An elderly man that had the same green eyes as Elijah was talking to a group of people. I put my hand on his cheek and he turned to me.

"You are not alone. You are stronger than him. You can do this. Prove yourself and your mother."

He leaned down and kissed me gently. I suddenly felt a rush of ŀust and wrapped my arms around him. He took the chance and licked my lips until they opened. He explored my mouth with his tongue until I finally moved him out and kissed him once more.

I shivered slightly. What the hell is going on? I looked to his eager but surprised eyes. How could I suddenly feel something for him? I even had to fight my pheromones and trembled as his fingers lightly traced my spine.

I looked to him with a scowl, "let's not make a scene." He nodded before letting me go, other than my hand.

He took a deep breath and stood tall. His face turned to confidence before he led me towards the older man. When the man noticed Elijah, his face changed to shock.

I immediately looked to Elijah, "he is not worth your fear. Show him what you can do."

He nodded before stopping near the man. An older woman stood at his side and froze when she saw us. I leaned on Elijah as his hand left mine and his arm wrapped around my waist. He squeezed me slightly as he put on a confident smile. "Father," he stated with a strong tone, "it is good to see you. You look well."

The man smirked slightly, trying to gain his ground. "Elijah, I am surprised to see you. How long has it been? Ten years or so?"

Elijah nodded before looking down to me. I put my arm around his waist lightly before resting my head on his shoulder. "This is my mate," Elijah stated as I smiled confidently at the man. "I thought it was time for you to meet him as we plan to get married soon."

The man and the women's jaws dropped for a moment as I suddenly felt a rush of arousal. I fought a shiver and kept up the act. What is wrong with me? This has never happened before.

"Its a pŀėȧsurė to finally meet you," I said as I looked to the man and smiled toward him, "I am Will Maurer."

The women's eyes suddenly widened as her hand shook. She quickly handed her drink to a woman nearby. "I'm sorry, I did not catch that."

"Will Maurer, ma'am."

She looked to Elijah with anger as I fought my pheromones from exploding. I need to get out of here. Somethings wrong.

"Elijah," she hissed as I looked to his face.. His smile became slightly twisted as his grip on me tightened. What the hell is he up to?
