"Jayden....tell me the truth. Do you love her too?"

He looked to me with horror, "I love her like a family member! Nothing else! I only love you!"

"Then why are you not standing up for me?! I got ganged up on by all of them! Hunter, Shannon, Connor, Cam, Sean, Asher, and Elijah all at once! But I still supported you! I chose you over them again and told them you would NEVER do what they said you were." I wiped my face and took a deep breath, "they were my family and I stood up for you and for us!"

Jayden stood and enveloped me in his arms. I tried to push him off, but he didn\'t budge. "I\'m sorry," he whispered into my ear. "I was scared of standing up to them. I worried they might come after you and the kids." He squeezed me slightly, "I\'m going to stand up to them. I\'ll call them and tell them I won\'t marry anyone but you. That I plan to have a family with you and the kids."

"I won\'t be a mistress."

He lightly touched my mark on my neck, "the universe chose us to be together and I marked you as my mate. I don\'t want anyone else. I love you more than anything in this world."

I looked up to him, "then prove it. Don\'t just say you will, do something about it."

He smiled slightly, "I will set up a meeting with my family as soon as possible. I will tell them how I feel and that I can never be with anyone but you. If they can\'t accept that, then I won\'t take over the company."

"I\'ll go with you and show them that I am not just some weak Omega. That I am strong enough to handle anything that comes."

"I love you, Will," he whispered and his fingers brushed my cheek before he kissed my forehead.

Jayden leaned down and kissed me gently. I was startled when he lightly bit my lip and chuckled slightly. "Payback for kissing someone other than me."

I came to a stop and he looked to me with surprised. "I need to check on Addie."

He wrapped his arm around me and kissed my neck. I trembled, "Cora will take care of everything. She wants us to take our time to make things right." His teeth grazed my neck and I mȯȧnėd while continuing to tremble.

Jayden led me into the room and shut the door. His pheromones filled me and my body took over my mind. I rushed to tightly wrap my arms around his neck and he grabbed underneath my thɨġhs. He lifted me off the ground and I wrapped my legs around him too. Jayden pulled me closer to him as he licked my lips and I rushed to open my mouth. Our tongues intertwined as I felt my sensitivity rising along with my pheromones. Jayden carried me over to the bed and slowly laid us down onto it.

He separated our lips and looked at me while breathing harder than usual. "Only you. I don\'t ever want anyone else." I was startled when he suddenly pulled something out of his pant pocket and presented my ring that I left on the living room table. "Will you still marry me?"

I nodded with a slight smile, "don\'t make me have to take it off again."

He kneeled on the bed, took my hand, slid the ring onto my finger, and kissed my palm. His pheromones increased and mine did the same. A wicked, sensual smile came to his face and he licked across my palm. I shivered as I watched his continual gaze and he moved my arm so that he made a line from my palm to my shoulder with his tongue. He kissed my shoulder and nipped my skin where my shoulder met my tank top.

"I don\'t know if you can wear these shirts anymore," he said with a smirk. "I can\'t look at you and keep my pheromones in check."

I chuckled and quickly pulled it off. As I did, he unbuttoned his shirt and tossed it on the floor. I kissed his ċhėst as he traced down my spine with his fingers. He moved to my shorts and slid them off along with my undėrwėȧr. I squeezed the sheets in my hands as he began stroking me and quickly moved further down. He shoved three fingers in all at once, causing me to cry out as I came.

Jayden smirked towards me and began moving roughly in and out of me. I shuddered and bit my lip to keep from crying out again. He rushed to undo his pants and pull them down with his undėrwėȧr so that his member was revealed.

"You\'re mine," he growled with a wicked smile as he rammed into me. I gasped and shivered as he began grinding inside me. He leaned down so that his face was in front of mine and he continued slapping our bodies together. "I love you, Will. Only you. I will not marry or love anyone else."

"Impregnated me," I begged as I cried. "Make all of me yours."

He moved faster and harder as I mȯȧnėd and latched onto his shoulders. As he came inside me, I came too and clawed his back. I collapsed on to the bed, trying to catch my breath. We both paused as the wall connected to the outside of the house rattled.

"The kids are home," I whispered, "we should go downstairs so they don\'t worry."

He ġrȯȧnėd before slowly pulling out of me and I shuddered. I rushed to the bathroom to clean up as Jayden went downstairs to the twins.

The rest of the night was peaceful as we spent time as a large family. Having Jayden sleep next to me all night made it so I got the best night sleep I had in weeks. When I woke up, Jayden was still sleeping, so I quietly left the room after changing. I did me usual morning run before coming home and taking the kids to school. When I came back, I found Cora feeding Addie at the table.

I was surprised to see she had a suit on, "going in today?"

She nodded with a smile but never said a word. I looked up to Jayden as he came into the room and kissed my forehead, "can we talk?" I nodded and followed him into the living room. He sat down on the couch and I sat beside him.

He let out a large sigh, "Cora and I need to go back to Chicago. We have to help with some big issue that came up that could hinder me taking over the company."

I took his hand and squeezed it, "for how long?"

"I\'m not sure yet. But I promise to call you every night and, if you call me, I will definitely answer." He kissed me gently, "I\'m going to meet with my dad too. I\'m going to let him know I plan to marry you, not Jenny."

I smiled sadly, "I understand. But please come back as soon as you can, okay?"

Jayden kissed me again before standing up and going upstairs. Cora carried Addie over to me and, after I took her, Cora picked up a suitcase. Jayden quickly came back downstairs with his own suitcase, waved to me, and they left the house.

I quietly sat in the silence and my mind raced as my heart ached. I\'m alone again? He just came back. But at least he is going to finally talk to his family. He\'s going to make things right.. Then we can finally get married and be a true family.
