The long awaited chapter of Jayden's POV!
As I sat in on a meeting that barely held my interest, all I could think about was Will. I thought back to the night we were finally reunited.
When I finally made it to the party, mother found me with her face was nearly white, even with her tanned complexion. She made a beeline towards me and grabbed my arm.
"Elijah is here," she whispered and I looked at her with confusion.
"You are that upset just because that Omega's child is here?"
She shook her head vigorously. "He brought someone with him," she state it as her eyes locked on mine. "What is the name of your destined partner?"
"Will Maurer."
Tears began welling in her eyes as her grip tightened on my arm. "Elijah brought him here," she whispered as I felt my entire body tense. "Will Maurer is his mate."
I felt rage overcome me. How dare he! Will is my mate and mine alone! Elijah has to be lying. Will can only be my mate. I stared my mother down as she looked as though she was going to cry.
"Where are they? It must be someone else."
My mother shook her head slightly. "They walked off a little while ago. His mate seemed to not be feeling well."
I began pushing my way through the crowd, desperately searching for Will or Elijah. I hoped to find Elijah first so that I could beat him for what he is trying to do. He will be lucky to get out alive. I continued searching the crowd and locked eyes with my sister. When she immediately looked down to the ground, I knew she had to know something.
I rushed over to her as she tried to back away but stopped when I grabbed her hand. "Where is Elijah?" I demanded and she looked at me in terror. "Who is with him?"
She looked to me with tears welling in her eyes, "he left. With Will Maurer," she whispered and I immediately let go of her.
"Left where?! The room?!" I demanded as I felt my body becoming hot and this time it was not just from anger, but also from pheromones flooding over me. It had to be Will, my Will.
"Out the front door," she stated and I quickly ran through the crowd.
I have to stop them. I have to reach him and I will never let him go again. As I finally reached the door, I threw it open as my heart skipped. It really is him. My Will. He is more beautiful than ever and I don't remember feeling so strongly towards him before."
Will!" I yelled and was thankful when he turned around. But I was startled when I saw the fear in his eyes. "Will," I repeated again as I felt pure relief and desire.
I was startled when I saw Elijah grab Will's arm and toss him into a car. Elijah gave me a wicked smile before rushing over to the driver side and getting in the car. I ran as hard as I could to catch them. I have to get him! I have to reach him! I want him! I need him! I was forced to stop when Elijah's car was so far away that I could barely see it any longer.
For two weeks, I had my men watching every move made by Elijah and Will. But I was never able to find a weak spot in their daily plans so I could get to Will. I guess Elijah is smarter than I originally thought.
Finally, I recieved the call I was waiting for. They found a weak point where Elijah occasionally was apart from Will, while they were working. I sent one of my men to watch for a perfect moment and stayed within a few blocks of the building.
In the afternoon, I was called to tell me that he had been moving around the building other than the floor Elijah was on. Now is my chance! I quickly snuck my way into the back of the building and rushed to the 10th floor, where he was spotted. I searched the floor and froze as I felt my body heat with arousal. He's close; god I want him so bad! I found a bathroom and rushed inside.
My body let out all the pheromones it could as we locked eyes. I rushed to shut the door and was able to get him alone with me. We fucked each other like crazy until that fucking brother of mine suddenly got in the way. He had no right to take away MY Omega!
I was brought out of thought as the meeting ended, but I was still only thinking of Will. He has to be mine. Elijah has him confused; we are destined partners and will end up together regardless of his meddling! We love each other and he is just getting in the way.
I ignored multiple people that seemed to try to talk to me. Unless they want to get repromanded, now is not the time . As I stormed back to my office, I pause when I saw my female secretary give me a proud smile. I gestured for her to follow me into my office. As she shut the door, I sat down at my desk and she quickly came to my side. Valerie does not tend to get excited, so I knew she had to have something good. The question is is it related to work, my family, or the only person on my mind?
"It was a lie," she stated with a broad smile and pure confidence.
"What are you talking about?" I hissed. "I'm not in the mood for games."
She sat down across from me at my desk. "They're not mates," she said as her smile turned nearly wicked. "Elijah does not have a legal mate."
My body loosened in relief. He has not taken him yet, he can still be mine entirely. "Have you found anything else out about Will? Like where he's been for the past 6 years? And how Elijah found him before I did."
She sighed, "Will must have friends in high places. Every time I try to look up something involving his name from the past 6 years... it's like it disappeared. I was able to go through some of my connections to find out that some of his records have been hidden by people with lined pockets. It seems that a Mrs. Juliet Lane has been one of many covering up that information. I am still unable to find how Elijah and Will met or how long they've known each other."
I slammed my fist on the table as my blood began to boil. "They are living together! How can there be no information about how they know each other and how they met? There has to be something!"
"Elijah has made quick work of hiding any information about him and Will from the recent past."
"Then what about those children?" I demanded as she looked to me with hesitation. Clearly she was wanting to look for another job, being so incompetent. "How hard was it to find out who the parents are of children?!"
She sighed as she averted my gaze slightly. "I cannot find information on either Elijah or Will having children." She seemed as though she had something more to say but stopped talking. I quickly gave her a glare that forced her to continue. "But the children do not look much like Will. I am guessing that they may be Elijah's illegitimate children. From what your mother said at the party, he may have had these children with someone else and is now claiming that they are his and Will's."
There was a knock at the door that made us both stop. "What?!" I snarled, but looked up in surprise when David came into the room. He had a confident smile on his face that made me feel a tad relieved. "Valerie, leave us be for a little while. David and I have something to discuss."
She nodded before quickly excusing herself and leaving the room. David nodded towards her as she left before coming over and claiming her spot across the desk from me
"So?" I asked as I tried to keep my voice from showing how anxious and angry I was at this whole situation.
David let out a sigh, "Elijah has been on edge for months now and Will has not come back in nearly 4 months. But I believe that Aurora may know more than she lets on. She has been talking to Elijah a lot more and has been leaving for appointments frequently."
David paused which made my body begin to heat up in rage. He came all this way just to deliver that?!
"But we were able to get some information from Mr. Parker last night." I paused as I felt a smile coming to my face. After what that man has done to my mate, I hope they did not get their information easily. "He knows where Elijah and Will met."
When he paused my rage finally came out and I screamed, "out with it!"
He stumbled on his words slightly before finally replying. "W...Will has...has been working as a host and met Elijah 2 years ago. They apparently hit it off very well, but will continued working there until just a few months ago."
Maybe I should just go get rid of Elijah. By that maniacal smile he gave at the party, he has to be just using Will to piss me off. How dare he treat Will like a posession!
"Keep your eyes of Elijah. He has kept Will locked up for 4 months so he has to be planning something."
David nodded before standing and leaving the room. I leaned my chair back as I envisioned Will. His lips on mine, holding him in my arms, his sweet, sensual moans in my ear...
I grumbled when my company phone began to ring, "WHAT?!" I hollered as I heard my male secretary shudder.
"Sir,_________ is here."
My whole body shivered as I tried to understand what he said. My mind is playing tricks on me! That can't be right, he must have misspoke. I can't feel him near.
