Hidden Omega

Asher's POV

I sat in my office with my head down. I looked over to the couch and though of the time Will and I lessened his pain. I shivered as I thought of holding him. it was amazing, but did not compare to the time we just held each other while we slept. Sex was amazing with Will, but his charisma and sarcasm stole my heart. Being without him the past six years has driven me mad but also made me love him more. I can't imagine living without him. I don't want anyone but him.

When he showed up at the hospital, I thought I was going to die of joy. But then to see that Alpha with him felt like it strangled me.

How can I talk to Will with that Elijah around him all the damn time? They are even living together! We never even lived together but he lives with that random guy?!

I looked up when a knock came to the door. Ken snuck in before shutting the door again. "Boss, have you talked to Connor recently?"

I sighed as I looked to him in annoyance. "No, why? Is something wrong?"

"I'm not sure. He took a break about 5 minutes ago to take a phone call. Now he's acting really weird."

I got up from my desk, "I'll go talk to him."

We started our way through the crowded top floor and I paused on the stairs. Just Rick and Xaviar were manning the bar. I started moving faster, passing Ken. Somethings really wrong. Connor isn't an unreliable person; he's one of my best.

I went to Rick, "where's Connor?"

He looked to me with surprise as my tone was sharper than usual. "On break. He said he had to do something."

I let out a grumble before storming out the back door. Where the hell is he?! I heard someone yelling in the parking garage. One voice was Connor's, so I stormed over. I began up the staircase to the first floor where I heard him.

His voice kept getting louder, even infiltrating the stairwell. What the hell has him so mad?! I froze halfway up when a large cracking noise. I hurried as I felt a shiver come over me. Something in my gut told me that something was really wrong.

"Connor!" I hollered and saw him look to me in pure horror. He quickly looked down to the ground as I saw he was crying. "What the hell? Are you hurt?!"

He shook harder and when I tried to touch his arm, he avoided my hand. I finally grabbed his arm and he cried harder. His shaking fist stretched out to me and he showed me what he held.

"I..."

The black metal band and chain struck my heart and took my breath. Why?

I glared at him, waiting for an explanation even though I knew. "He...he..."

"He what?!"

His face turned pale, "he and that Alpha..."

I squeezed him, "why didn't you tell me you were meeting him?!" I snatched the ring and chain from him. I then threw his arm back towards him and began running. I raced down the stairwell and unlocked the car. I threw it into reverse as my mind raced. I guessed the direction they went and caught up so that I could see the black SUV.

He's giving up?! No! Will is stronger than that! That damn Alpha! He has to be threatening Will because he would never do that! Not to me, not to us! After all he has been through, he kept this with him. He wouldn't suddenly give it back of his own choice. He would at least talk to me about it!

I finally caught a glimpse of Will. My heart broke and I felt tears filling my eyes. Had he always looked so frail? He hasn't been eating right and has not been sleeping. It's clear by just looking at him! That Alpha isn't even trying to take care of him! Will is like a prisoner to this destined partner curse!

My heart ached but also fluttered as I saw his hand. He's holding the spot where the ring would be. He hasn't moved on! He's trying to make me move on while he suffers!

I noticed their car moving towards an exit and I quickly followed. Where the hell are we going? I was amazed at the houses we passed but made a quick stop as their car slowed down.

Elijah? What the hell? Why is he meeting them? I quietly turned off the car and got out. I stayed quiet and listened to them.

I saw Will and Jayden get out of the car and suddenly Elijah was at Jayden's throat! Will got near them and I saw his face twist to pure rage.

"Stop!" He yelled and both of those ċȯċky bastards froze. "You damn dominant Alphas and your pride! You're acting like children fighting over a toy! I'm not a posession!"

I let out a breath of relief. They haven't broken him completely. The Will I know is not gone, just oppressed and wounded.

"Let's get one thing straight! I am not a mate for either of you. I am indebted to both of you and that is the extent of our relationship."

I squeezed the ring and chain in my hand. He hasn't given up to their control. He is fighting them in his own way.

I watched as Elijah brought Will away from Jayden with kindness. Of those two idiots, maybe I can work with Elijah to save Will from Jayden. Wait for me, Will.. I will get you out of his grasp.
