บท 53: Chapter 52
"It's Elijah's half-brother. I'm not sure of their relationship so I did not want to tell anyone without your thoughts."
My blood ran cold, "I think he has more than one brother. They are not close."
He nodded, "it is his youngest half-brother Jayden Peters."
My mind turned off as I froze. I have to ask him? Of all people, ask him to help save Hunter?
"Will? Are you okay? You're looking pale."
I forced my mind to work as I faked a smile, "sorry, I'm a bit worn out. I think I can find a way to contact him."
"Perfect," his eyes looked to me with slight sorrow, "I urge you to ask quickly. The faster, the better chance for Hunter."
"I'll try to get ahold of him as soon as I can. Thanks, doc." I walked back to the table and put my hand on Aurora's shoulder. "Can you drive me home? I'm getting really worn out."
"Absolutely!" She jumped to her feet before taking my hand in hers.
"I'll call you later this week," I called to Hunter as we walked off. We walked to the car and Aurora drove as I slept the entire way home. When we got back, Aurora dropped me off once she saw Bridget come to the door. I went inside and immediately collapsed onto the couch.
"The kids should be back anytime now." Bridget informed me as she brought me a water bottle.
My head was throbbing from the way my mind raced even when I was sleeping on our way back. I used my forearm to cover my eyes, "you didn't pick them up today?"
"No, Mr.Reed insisted I stay here to wait for your return. He is bringing them home as he only had a few meetings today."
I sighed before kicking off my shoes without moving off the couch. I listened as Bridget put my shoes away before rummaging through something in the kitchen.
Should I tell Elijah about the pregnancy? Should I tell the kids? Should I tell Elijah about Jayden possibly saving Hunter? I have to contact him. I can't risk losing Hunter over that damn Alpha. But how do I get him to do it? From what I know about him, he will want something in return. I have nothing to give him that I am willing to lose. He can't have the kids, ever. I can't become his true mate. He's an Alpha so it will never work. We can't meet face to face or we will screw each other senseless again. My body shivered just from thinking about it. I'm pregnant so how the hell am I this turned on just thinking about him...and us...and last time.
I was startled out of my thoughts when the front door swung open. I sat up and smiled to the twins as they came barreling at me. They jumped on top of me on the couch as they giggled. "Momma!" They cheered as I looked to Chase who chuckled.
"How was the doctors?"
I sighed, "fine, everything is good."
"Have they found a donor?"
I paused before deciding to shake my head. There's a lot I have to do before I tell you the truth.
Archer began kicking Ashley so that he could get my whole lap to himself. When his foot accidentally kicked my stomach and I immediately grabbed his ankle.
"Careful!" I yelled and everyone froze. It wasn't like me to yell at them. I sighed before letting him go and leaning back on the couch.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling sick again?"
I didn't look to Elijah and decided it was time. I can't risk hurting this child just because it is difficult to say and admit.
"I need to talk to Archer and Ashley, alone."
Chase looked to me curiously, "I'll go get changed." He stated before walking off.
"I need to go discuss something with Bridget," Elijah stated before also walking off.
I set Ashley and Archer on the couch before kneeling on the ground in front of them. "I have a question for you two," I said and they looked to me curiously. "Would you like a baby sister?"
Both of their mouths dropped open before they finally processed what I said. Archer began bouncing on the couch as he cheered. Ashley sprinted off to their bedroom with a squeal. She came back out with all types of bows and hair clips.
"She can have my hair things!" Ashley placed the handful of things on the coffee table near me before following Archer into their bedroom.
As they scampered back out with some of their toys, Chase came out and looked to them with confusion.
"She can have this and this and this!" Archer said as he handed me multiple toys.
Ashley pounced on Chase's leg as she squealed again, "it must have been some good news!"
I gave Chase a sad smile before looking to the ground, "I'm going to have a baby sister!" Ashley hollered and I heard something shatter on the ground in the kitchen. I looked up to see the terrified faces of Elijah and Bridget along with the teary eyes of Chase.
Archer raced to me and stared at my stomach, "she's in your belly?" I nodded, "when is she going to be in our family?"
"Next week?" Ashley asked as she came and joined her brother in the act of staring at my stomach.
I chuckled, "she can't join us just yet. She should be born in about four months. That means we have to be really careful not to hurt her, okay?" They both nodded viciously, "now why don't you to go change?"
They both raced off as I stood and looked to the three adults. "A baby?" Chase whispered and I nodded. He began crying and I quickly hugged him. "How can you be so calm?!"
I squeezed him slightly, "Because this time I don't have to do it alone," I whispered and I heard him choke up. "I have you with me right?"
He nodded but still kept his face against my chest. My mind clicked and I knew exactly how I was going to pull this off.
I lifted Chase's head so that he looked towards me. "I actually do have some good news about Hunter but it is not set in stone yet. So I did not want to say anything in front of the twins."
"What is it?"
I gave him a sweet smile, "they may have found a match. They may have found a donor."
Chase began crying again as he squeezed me tighter, "Who is it?"
I looked up to Elijah and put on a brave face so that he would not figure out my true plan. I sighed, "that is the difficult part. The person wants to keep anonymous so they only know his phone number. They cannot seem to get ahold of him."
"Then how do you expect to find him?" Elijah asked with confusion.
I thought through my answer before expressing it. "The doctor was able able to tell me his name but I'm not allowed to repeat it to keep his identity confidential. From that, my friend was able to get his address. I am going to try to go tomorrow and meet with him."
"Well then I will..." Elijah began but he stopped when I shook my head.
"The doctor is worried that this man might not want to do it if people know who he is. I am not sure of the reason, but he wants to remain strictly anonymous. If they were able to reach him by phone, they would not even have told me his name. I need to go alone to meet him and see if he would be comfortable saving Hunter."
"But..." Elijah tried to begin again but I stared him down.
"I will be fine. I am not going to risk losing Hunter just to avoid that Alpha." I looked to the twins as they came out of their room.
For the rest of the night, I focused on the twins and how I would make this all work.
In the morning, I stayed in bed after sending the kids off to school. I did get did not get up until around noon and got dressed in nice casual clothing.
I stuck my only safety net for this plan into my coat pocket before going out to my car. I drove it to a shopping center closest to Jaden's office.
From his level of security recently, Elijah likely bugged my car. I was not dumb enough to bring it to my real destination.
I walked a few blocks to Jaden's building and went in to the front receptionists desk. Two women, one Omega and one Beta, looked up to me with annoyance. I'm sure they were not pleased to see a male Omega in such casual clothing coming into their building.
"May I help you?" The Omega asked even though her face did not change.
"Yes, I am here to see Mr. Jayden Peters." Both of their faces soured further so I quickly continued. "I have been sent by my boss Mr. Elijah Reed, his brother, to give him some important documents."
"What is your relationship to Mr. Reed?"
I smiled before pulling out a business card and handing it to them. "I am his personal secretary and, with his busy schedule, he was not able to come on his own, so he sent me in his place."
"All right," the Beta hissed, "you can go see his secretary and he will take the documents from you. Mr. Peters is very busy."
I nodded with a smile before going to the elevator that she gestured towards.
"Go to the top floor and he will meet you there." I got into the elevator and, after the doors closed, I leaned back on the wall and tried to catch my breath. I quickly pulled the blue syringe out of my coat pocket and shoved it into my leg.
It burned horribly but it was all I could do to make it so he didn't know I was coming. I had to keep the element of surprise or this would not work out well. As the doors opened, I quickly tossed the syringe into a nearby trash can before smiling up to the gentleman that waited nearby.
"You were sent by Mr. Reed?"
"Yes, but I would like to speak personally to Mr. Peters."
His face seemed to twitch as he tried to keep his facade of professionalism. I finally took a deep breath before staring him down with as much intensity as I could muster.
"I'm tired of this," I hissed as he looked me in surprise and annoyance. "Tell your boss that Will Maurer is here to see him and will only come in if he stays at his desk and does not come near me."
As I said my name, the man's face went pale. "Will Maurer?" I nodded and he quickly rushed over to his desk. I followed slowly as my body began to tremble with fear and with arousal. He quickly picked up the phone and relayed my message before looking up to me and nodding.
He gestured towards the dark oak doors to the left of his desk and I made my way over to them as my heart sped. I squeezed the last part of my safety net with my hand that was still in my pocket. I held my breath as I came into the door and shut it behind me. I leaned back on it as Jayden tried to jump to his feet with an excited and relieved face that made me even more uncomfortable.
"Stay seated or I will leave," I demanded and, with an annoyed face, he complied by sitting back in his chair.
"Will," he whispered and my knees tried to give out as his pheromones exploded. I fought mine back as they wanted to reciprocate and entice him over to me quicker.
"Stay back!" I hissed as he got up and started walking towards me.

K_B_Bloom Hi all! I realized it's a bit of a let down that this chapter only gets the main characters to the same point in the story. So I am releasing another chapter today! Hope you enjoy!
