Chapter 48

I thought of Hunter and the twins. They need me. I turned to him with full intimidation, "no," I hissed and his face turned to shock.

I took my chance. I grabbed my clothes and shoes before sprinting to the door. Jayden finally gained his mind and tried to grab me. I punched him in the face before getting the door. I unlocked it and collapsed with relief. Elijah caught me as I fell and embraced me. I squeezed myself into him as I finally lost my composure. As Jayden got to the doorway, Elijah had taken off his suit jacket and put it around my body. He picked me up before turning us away from Jayden.

"Remove him from the premises," Elijah hissed but his eyes stayed on me. "Do not come near my mate again or I will involve father and the police. Will chose me, not you." He rushed off with power as he brought me to an empty conference room nearby. A Beta paused at the sight of us and Elijah stared him down. "Don't let anyone come in."

He brought me into the room and locked the door. He carried me over to the table and pulled out a chair. He looked to me with confusion as I did not let go of him nor get out of his arms. I shook my head violently before nuzzling into his shirt. Elijah sat down in the chair and wrapped his arms around me so that he enveloped me in him. I began crying harder as I shook more.

"It's okay now," he whispered into my ear, "I've got you."

He sat patiently and just comforted me as I tried to compose myself. After a long time, my body became so weak that I could not cry anymore. I slumped against him as I slowly stopped shaking. "Let's go home."

I tried to stand but fell back into him. He picked me up, set me in the chair, and kneeled on the ground in front of me.

He began redressing me gently as I laid back on the chair. I could not help even though I wanted to do it on my own. His eyes only met mine a few times and reflected my pain. Once I was completely dressed, he put his jacket back on before hoisting me to my feet.

I leaned on him as he aided me in walking out of the room and to the elevator. How does he know that I wanted to walk out of here? That I would be mortified if I had others see me being carried out.

Elijah brought me to the main level and I was surprised to see Aurora stand up off a chair near the elevator. She had both of our things and stared at me in relief, terror, and sympathy. Elijah nodded to her and her eyes began welling with tears. He led me out of the building and I heard Aurora following us. Elijah brought me to the car and gently set me down in the passenger seat. As he went around to get to his seat, Aurora leaned down to me.

"I will take care of everything so take some time to be with your kids." She whispered before placing our things at the space by my feet. She leaned over, buckled my seatbelt, and kissed my cheek before shutting the door.

Elijah began the car and started driving towards the house. I looked over to see his hands shaking on the wheel as his face was stiff with his teeth clenched. He seemed unable to speak and I knew past events of his mom must have surfaced.

"I will be okay," I whispered and he looked to me with surprise, "I messed up. I'm sorry."

He suddenly pulled the car off the road, unbuckled his seatbelt, and lunged over to me. I fought my body to not back away as I saw the tears in his eyes. He embraced me as he shook and cried. He must have seen his mom go through something like this before.

"I failed to protect you. I can't express how sorry I am."

I laid my head on his chest as I heard his heart race, "you did nothing wrong. It was just a freak accident. I will be okay." I lifted my head and met his gaze, "you saved me after all." He suddenly leaned in and kissed me as he cried. My body wanted to reject him but my heart ached for him. I allowed his tongue around mine as he seemed to try to sooth me with his gentle movements. I moaned and my body shivered, which he responded to by removing his tongue and kissing my lips repeatedly.

He finally separated us and began driving, but held onto my hand. I watched our joined hands for the rest of the drive and only looked up when he stopped in front of the guest house.

"I want you to come to my home, but you want to be with the kids, right?" I nodded, "then I will call the doctor to come here. I will stay at your side and take care of you."

"You don't..."

His gaze looked to me with desperation and pain, so I stopped my reply and nodded. He got out of the car, came to my door, opened it, and picked me up out of the seat. He carried me inside and Bridget shot to her feet with shock.

"Will," she whispered as she saw my tear drenched face.

"Go start a shower." Elijah insisted and she began to rush off but stopped when I spoke.

"Not the one in my room. I don't want them to see."

She nodded before continuing on her way. I leaned into Elijah as I felt the extent of my exhaustion. I could hear a t.v. going and sighed as I knew they were okay.

"Has Chase come home yet?"

He shook his head, "he should be back in an hour or so." He whispered back before quietly bringing me to the nearest room that we did not use. Bridget rushed off, likely to grab a towel and clothes or check on the kids.

Elijah aided me to take off my clothes and paused as he saw that I was still rock hard. I looked away as I felt my face turn red. Why won't it go down?! Calm down!

I jumped slightly as Elijah wrapped his hand around my member and began stroking me. I looked to his sad face and began to shudder. "Just let it out."

I rested my head on his chest and began panting as he alternated between stroking me quickly and then gently. Quickly, I came and groaned. Elijah walked me over to the shower and helped me inside.

"Do you need me to help?" I shook my head before shutting the door.

I began cleaning my body of his scent but knew I had to get out his semen if I wanted any chance of avoiding pregnancy. He was successful with just one load last time, cuming multiple times would make it really likely if I didn't act fast. I used my fingers to gently dig it out but could not hold back my quiet cries.

"Are you okay?"

I paused, "yea, just give me a sec." I quickly dug all of it out before washing my ass out. I then moved on to the back of my neck. Each time I removed my hand from the wound, it was covered in streaks of blood.

"Should I call the doctor?"

"No, I just need gauze and tape." As I finished cleaning up, I heard Elijah began rummaging through the drawers. The door opened and shut quickly before I saw Elijah's hand extend a towel to me when I turned off the water. I gently dried myself off and got out. I held onto the wall to steady myself.

"Get dressed so you can sit while I dress your wound."

I turned away from him and took the pile of clothes that was on the counter. I removed the towel and put on the underwear and sweatpants. I could feel blood dripping down my back so I left the shirt. Elijah led me to the bed in the room and turned me slightly so he could access my neck. He began dabbing it with hydrogen peroxide that stung. I groaned, "almost done."

"Okay," I whispered and patiently waited until he was finished. He moved on to placing antibiotic ointment on the multiple punctures before placing gauze and medical tape over top.

"I'm back!" Chase called from the front of the house and I paused. He will figure it out. But what can I do? I can't hide it. I stood and Elijah followed me. I slipped on the shirt and went to the front of the house.

"Momma!" The twins chimed as they ran over and hugged my legs. "When did you get here?"

I smiled to them even though I felt like passing out, "sorry, I had to shower before I came to see you. I smelled!" I smirked to them before kneeling down. I kissed their foreheads but froze when Ashley's eyes widened.

"You got hurt!"

I avoided Chase's gaze, "yeah, I was clumsy. Don't worry so much!"

"Hi, Elijah!" Archer sang as they smiled to each other.

"Hey kids! How was school?"

"Good!" They both replied before looking to Elijah as he gave me his hand. I took it and he hoisted me to my feet.

"Is it okay if I take your Momma to rest? It has been a long day."

"Let's go back and finish your show, kiddos!"

"Okay!" They called before rushing over to Bridget.

Chase finally came over and grabbed my arm. I looked to him as his eyes filled with tears. I took his hand in mine before slowly walking to my room. Elijah followed us inside and shut the door. Chase's hand lightly touched the back of my neck as he cried.

I hugged him as he cried and shook, "don't cry."

He squeezed my to him, "how can you be so calm!" He looked to my eyes as he continued crying. "Was it consensual?!"

I felt weak as I sadly smiled, "my body doesn't care. Neither does his." I wiped tears off his cheeks, "I will be okay. So please don't cry."

"Chase, Will should lie down. His body is really weak." Chase gave Elijah a stern glance before aiding me to lay down on the bed.

"Can you go keep an eye on the twins?" Chase nodded before kissing my forehead and leaving. Elijah pulled a chair over beside the bed and sat in it.

"Try to sleep. I will keep an eye on everything."

I nodded before buying my face into a pillow and forcing myself to sleep.
