Chapter 60 - 59

Thank you to many of you leaving wonderful review and comments on this story!! It really means a lot to me! So, as a thank you, I already added my normal chapter a day and will be releasing two more (totaling 3 chapter releases today!!) One is the POV of Asher, so I hope you enjoy!!

I handed the phone to Jayden as he looked to me with surprise.

"This is the sonogram photos of the twins around this stage of the pregnancy."

He looked to the picture with amazement. "They were so small."

I smirked, "they were twins sharing the same space. They were expected to be small." I looked to the time and reclaimed my phone as I stood. "We need to get to our appointment."

Jayden quickly threw away the trash before following me to the OBGYN portion of the hospital. We sat for only a few minutes before the doctor met us. Her face lightly blushed when she saw Jayden at my side as we stood.

She cleared her throat slightly, "you must be the dad," she presented her hand to Jayden, "I am Dr. Tregard. It is nice to meet you."

Jayden took her hand and shook it gently, "thank you for taking care of Will so far. And for getting us in after hours."

She smiled brightly, "absolutely! I'm sure you are excited to see your baby."

His face became gentle but enthusiastic, "you cannot imagine how excited I am."

The doctor gave me a kind smile before gesturing for us to follow her. She brought us to a room and Jayden sat with anticipation. The doctor set up the sonogram before moving around to find the perfect location.

"Dad," she said quietly, "come meet your baby."

Jayden's face lit up as he rushed over to my side. The doctor moved the instrument slightly.

She made a large circle with her finger on the screen, "this is her." She stated and I saw Jayden's hands squeeze the side of the table I was on. "Here is her head, heart, hands, and feet." She said as she pointed to different parts of the screen.

I looked to the screen and focused on the gentle beat of the baby's heart. I did not look away until I saw the doctor pick up a box of tissues and move them toward me. What the hell? I'm not crying. I was shocked when she moved them past me and to Jayden. His eyes were welling and he quickly took one, but turned away as he used it. What an Alpha.

As the doctor finished, I got off the table and slipped on my pants and undėrwėȧr before taking off the gown. I paused when the doctor moved closer.

"You are really starting to show." She said with a chuckle, "just a few days ago there was almost nothing and now I can just bȧrėly tell."

I smiled to her, "I guess after my twins, my body can hide a single child."

"I keep forgetting you had twins. You must have really taken care of yourself! You have almost no stretch marks!"

I chuckled, "I didn't have much to do so I dedicated my time to taking care of them and me." I laughed, "I was put on bedrest at month six, so I was pretty bored."

I looked over when Jayden handed me my shirt. I put it on and was startled when he wrapped his arm around my waist.

"Doctor, what do we need to do to keep Will and the baby safe?" He looked to her with sadness, "I wasn't able to be with him when he went through this process with the twins so I want to know how to help them this time."

The doctor thought for a moment, "really, there is not much that needs to change. No heavy exercise, straining, drinking, smoking, and limit caffeine consumption. He needs to get lots of sleep and keep the twins from accidentally bumping into his stomach." She smiled to me, "but Will is the expert of his own body. He will know when things are too much or if something is wrong."

"Thank you, doc." I said before she shook my hand. She followed by shaking Jayden's hand.

He took mine immediately after and suddenly began gently rubbing my palm with his thumb. "Thank you." He said kindly before leading me out of the room.

I followed him out into the parking lot and to the car. As I buckled in, I jumped slightly as I felt Jayden touch my stomach.

"She is amazing," he whispered before looking up to me, "you are incredible."

I felt my face heat up and quickly looked away. "I didn't do anything special." I mumbled before I thought of what I decided earlier. "Could we make one quick stop?"

He looked to me as he began the car, "where?"

I fought tearing up, "you want me to cut all romantic ties to Asher, right?"

He tensed when he heard the name, "you aren't going to see him."

I looked back out the window, "I want to meet with the person I want him to be with." I whispered as tears began welling up, "he can give Asher the last of our bond." I held onto the ring around my neck and shook lightly.

"Alright."

I gave Jayden directions to the bar and got out my phone. I dialed his number and listened to it ring. I sighed when it went to voicemail.

"Hey Connor, its Will." I stated as I fought not to weep, "can you meet me in the bar parking lot in 15 minutes? I have one final thing I need from you." I hung up the phone before wiping away some tears. I leaned on the window as I fought not to cry more.

"Who is this person?"

"A fellow male Omega that treasures Asher." Was all I whispered before becoming silent for the rest of the ride. As we reached the parking lot, my entire body trembled in pain.

I was relieved but also heartbroken when I saw Connor standing in the middle of the first level. Jayden stopped the car near him and unlocked it.

"Regardless of what happens, stay here." I took a deep breath before opening the door as Connor moved closer. I gave him a sad smile, "you look like you've been doing well."

He scowled at me, "what the hell do you want, Will? You have fuċkėd him up enough; don't expect me to let you near him."

I took two deep breaths, "I don't want you to let me near him. I want you to end his pain."

I used my shaking hands to unclasp the chain around my neck. I squeezed the metal band in my hands before handing it to Connor. He looked to me in shock as he hesitated to take it. When he finally took it, I fought my instincts and let go.

"I don't want to lead him on anymore." I gulped and faked a smile as I began crying, "I have given up the fight. I hope that he will forgive me someday." I touched my stomach, "I already hurt him by having two children that were not his; I don't want him to find out about a third."

Connor's eyes doubled in size as he began to tremble. His face became twisted in rage, "you are weak!" He yelled, "you are what makes people look down on our kind! You have selfishly destroyed Asher's life!" I was startled when he suddenly slapped me, "don't ever show your face near him again!"

I nodded, "I won't," I whispered, "please make him happy. He deserves that and someone who can make him forget."

I turned and went to the car. I got in and pushed Jayden's hand away as he tried to touch my red cheek. "Take me home." I insisted as I zipped up my jacket and pulled my knees to my ċhėst. I wrapped my arms around my legs and leaned on the window.

I looked out the window and my hand automatically went to hold the ring, but it was no longer there. He is not mine anymore. I can't let him be. He has to let me go because I can't do it.

How can I keep going without him? How can I look at Ashley and call her name without thinking of him?

God, I love him so much. I probably will always love him.

If only I had realized it before. Then I may have not joined the industry or met Jayden. Then we could have been happy, maybe even had our own family.

I fought my voice as I cried and squeezed my shirt where his ring used to be. I kept my eyes closed and thought of his face and the good times with him.

I looked up when Jayden stopped by Elijah's house. We were both surprised to see Elijah standing, waiting at the front gate.

I wiped my face off before getting out of the car. When Jayden got out, Elijah lost his composure and rushed over to him. Elijah grabbed Jayden by the shirt and Jayden reciprocated. They both got in each other's face as they seemed on the verge of fighting.

"Stop!" I hissed as they both looked to me, "you damn dominant Alphas and your pride!" I yelled. "You're acting like children fighting over a toy! I'm not a posession!"

They both paused before letting go of each other. Elijah began to come over to me, "Will."

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

Jayden became outraged, "All he gave you was money and a place to live! I can give you that!" He gestured to Elijah who stared him down, "he is not your destined mate nor the one who can save Hunter, I am!" He came over and tried to touch me, but I moved away. "You do not need anyone but me! I can give you everything you need or want!"

Elijah rushed over and shoved him away from me slightly, "you can't give him refuge from the one thing he fears!"

"I can protect him from anything!"

Elijah gave a twisted smile, "even from yourself?" Jayden froze, "I'm the only one that can understand his needs and protect him from a world that hates his breed. I also can keep him safe from your full control." Elijah looked to me, "I won't let your family destroy another man just because of his gender! You're just like our father and will hurt Will just like he hurt my mom!" Elijah turned to me with a sad smile. "You've been crying," he whispered before wiping my face further. "Let's get you inside.. The twins are worried about you."
