บท 47: Chapter 46
I woke up before my alarm and felt as though I had not slept in weeks. Nightmares kept me awake all night. I went out to the living room and opened the window before sitting on the couch and smoking.
I watched as the sun rose and heard, through the open window, that someone was walking nearby. I stood and leaned against the window frame as I looked down to the ground. A young man and an older man we're talking near the door of our house and one left as the other one turned and sat down on the porch area. Clearly, Jayden had made a move or Elijah feared he would very soon. I felt a shiver go through my body as an Omega's pheromones increased within the house.
I put out my cigarrette before rushing back to the bedroom and finding Chase slowly making his way to the bathroom. I helped him into the bathroom and sat him on the closed toilet seat. I rummaged through a drawer and found his medications for heat.
He gulped them down before beginning to shiver. "Do I need to take more?"
I shook my head, "just give it a few minutes. These don't always act immediately. After some time, you will be able to determine it by yourself."
I took his hand and gently led him out to the living room. I grabbed a soft blanket and put it around him as he lay down on the couch. He lifted his legs and bent his knees so I could sit at the end of the couch.
"Why are you up so early? I didn't even hear you come in last night."
"I just couldn't sleep," I replied with a slight smile. "I guess I had a little too much fun last night."
Chase smiled at me, "it's nice to know that you had fun. It's been a long time since that happened."
"You definitely need to stay home today," I finally stated and he groaned.
"But I have a huge test today."
I shook my head as I stared him down. "I am telling you not requesting. You don't wanna end up in a bad situation just because of a test. Your school knows your gender so they should not have an issue with you taking off during your heat. Especially the 1st day."
I suddenly felt Chase's body loosen as I looked to him and his eyes became sleepy.
"They finally kicked in?" He nodded before yawning. Within a few minutes, he finally was able to go back to sleep as I sat quietly beside him.
I looked outside and just watched the world as I waited for the day to start. I looked up with a slight smile as Bridget came towards the living room.
I had heard her quietly speaking to the man outside before coming into the house. "Good morning'" she whispered with a bright smile before heading over to the kitchen.
She began making food for the children, but I noticed that her glance kept coming towards me. She seemed to keep me in the corner of her eye as if she was making sure I wouldn't run. I looked to the bedroom as the twins came out and I quickly gestured for them to stay quiet.
They looked to see Chase sleeping on the couch and made sure to stop in their tracks. I slowly got off the couch, in order not to wake him, before going over to them. I kneel down so that they both could hug me and kiss me on the cheek before I kissed them on the forehead.
"Good morning," I whispered as they both looked to me with smiles. "Let's get you some breakfast."
They followed me to the kitchen where Bridget gave them a bright smile. I left the kids with her as I went back over to the couch and gently picked Chase up. He woke slightly, enough to mumble something, and I gently shushed him before carrying him back to the bedroom. I laid him in the bed and tucked him in before kissing him on the forehead. I began getting ready for the day as quietly as I could. I dressed in one of the suits Elijah had delivered to me a few days prior and made sure to fit the part for my job.
By the time I left the bedroom, the twins were sitting on the couch watching TV with their uniforms on. I went over to Juliet but could not bring myself to smile towards her. She is just another one of his pawns watching on me.
"Would it be possible for you to stay with Chase today?"
She nodded vigorously with a broad smile. "Is he sick?"
I sighed, "he is in heat," I whispered as her eyes seemed to double. Likely this was the 1st time she personally experienced someone going through the process. "Just make sure he takes his medication and rests. Do not allow him out of the house and he should be perfectly fine."
"Alright, then I will take him with me to pick up the twins this afternoon."
I nodded before going and hugging the kids, "you two be good, alright? Don't give Miss Bridget any trouble, alright?" They nodded before I kissed them on their foreheads. I looked over as Elijah came in.
He smiled toward us as my frown depended. "Are you ready for school?"
The kids grabbed either of my hands and I led them to the car. I got them into their seats before sitting in the passenger's seat. Elijah began driving as he kept his eye on me.
"Has he done anything?"
"Not yet. But I know he will soon."
"That's what happens when you poke a bear, moron." I mumbled as I looked out the window. "Do you have something put in place to keep these two safe?"
"I took care of it, so there is no need to worry."
I scoffed, "easy for you to say." I felt a shiver go through me, "it is all just a matter of time."
"I will try talking to him."
I scowled to him, "you will just make it worse." I looked to the window, "you want to make him suffer but, by doing that, you are making us suffer too." I took a deep breath, "hes he found out about them?"
"I'm not sure yet. If he has, it may make him hesitate to find you. He could never be a father. He hates kids so he may not want to be involved just to avoid being a father."
"You seem to know a lot about him."
"Of course, when I heard about his rebellious phase and met you, I wanted to find out anything I could about him. He really ashamed his father by being a porn star."
"I assumed so. Especially since he raped me on film."
"The only saving grace for him is that his face never fully showed on the film."
As he stopped at the school, I got out and helped the twins get out of their boosters. I then took their hands and brought them inside. I noticed a few teachers observing the twins. They must be who he has watching over them. Otherwise, why would they give a shit about children they shunned before. I went back out to the car and noticed, without looking directly to them, a woman watched me from across the street. Is she related to Jayden?
I rushed over to the car and hopped in. I kissed his cheek before whispering, "drive." He looked to me with surprise before complying. "Someone was watching me. I need to act like we are mates, right? That's the only way to keep us safe."
He nodded, "good thinking."
I grabbed the ring under my shirt, "don't get any wrong ideas. I will never trust you. I tried to and you screwed me over. You're just like the rest of them."
He sighed, "I messed up. I know that now but I will work to fix things."
I smirked, "don't waste your time. It won't happen. As I said, my gut is never wrong. And it tells me to never trust you."
Elijah became silent and did not speak until he parked at the building. "I don't want you to leave the building without me at your side. It's the only way to keep you safe."
I nodded, "got it."
He got out of the car and so did I. He came over and wrapped his arm around my shoulders. He led me into the building as I felt multiple eyes watching me. He has to be sending people to watch me. I made sure not to attract attention to myself for the rest of the day. I only associated with Aurora and Elijah for the entire day.
When the day was over, I went with Elijah to the car and we went straight to his house. I noticed there were suspicious cars down the street from the house and there were multiple people watching over the house and there seemed to be more security cameras on the property. How ridiculous. Why am I the toy being fought over by two rich, arrogant dominant Alpha brothers?
