I looked down when my phone vibrated. When I opened the message I smiled and took Hunter\'s hand. "I have hurt you, but I want to make up for it."

"What are you talking about, Will?"

"I\'m a perfect match for your donor."

Everyone froze and I heard Shannon choke up as she rushed over and stared me down, "don\'t joke with us!"

I smiled to her, "I wouldn\'t lie about it."

"Now all you need is the funds!" Asher said with relief but looked to me as I smirked.

"As if I would let that hold you back," Shannon began crying, "the payment just went through for the entire process. All you have to worry about is getting healthy."

Hunter grabbed my arm, "I won\'t forgive you if you disappear again. You are not getting away from me again."

I nodded, "I don\'t plan to leave again."

Hunter stretched his back, "now bring back my niece and nephew. I want to meet them for real."

Cam rushed out of the room, but we were all shocked when Chase was the first to return. He locked eyes with me, raced to me, and tackled me so hard he almost knocked me out of the chair. "You\'re a match?!" I nodded as I rubbed his back, "thank god!" He sat up, wiped his face, and smiled to Hunter. "Sorry, I\'m Chase. I live with Nick and the twins."

"Nick?"

"That\'s not my real name, Chase. It\'s Will." He looked to me with surprise but we turned around to see a very upset Archer.

"You meanie!" He growled at Chase, "you left us behind!" Archer came over and crawled into my ŀȧp. Ashley quickly followed and came onto my ŀȧp also.

I put my hand on Archer\'s head, "this is Archer Cameron Maurer." Cam\'s eyes widened as I moved my hand to Aslhey, "and this is Ashley Winston Maurer." I saw Hunter tear up slightly as I leaned down to the twins. "This room is full of our real family." I gestured to each person, "this is Hunter, Asher, Shannon, Cam, and Sean."

"Its nice to meet you two," Hunter said sweetly towards them, "I am your uncle Hunter."

"He\'s our uncle?" I nodded to Ashley before kissing the crown of her head.

"Yeah, baby."

"Thought I\'d find you here."

We all looked to the door as Elijah smiled to me, "Hunter," I said as I looked back to him, "this is my friend Elijah. He is helping me pay for you medical fees."

"Friend," Asher hissed as I made sure not to look at him, "he doesn\'t look like a friend of yours."

"You must be Asher," Elijah said with a bigger Alpha smile, "Will has told me a lot about you." He walked over and smiled towards Hunter, "it is nice to meet you, Hunter. I am Eljiah Reed. I was so happy to hear that Will was a perfect match for you. He has been extremely worried."

"How did you meet Will?" Hunter said as he glared at Elijah.

"Hunt, stop," I pleaded, "we are not like that. He is a platonic friend." I ruffled Ashley and Archer\'s hair, "and we don\'t need to talk about such things around them, alright?"

I looked up to Hunter with sadness, "you\'re right. Sorry. It\'s been a while since I\'ve been around kids."

I laughed, "well I have been around them enough for the both of us." I sighed before squeezing them to me. They began whining as I smirked, "soon enough, you won\'t be able to say that." I winked at Hunter before letting go of the twins.

"I\'ll go wait outside," Elijah said with a smile.

"You don\'t have to wait."

"Nonsense, it\'s no trouble."

As Elijah left, Chase sighed, "you don\'t need to worry about him. I\'m keeping an eye on Nick...uh Will."

"He gives me a weird feeling," Cam whispered as I looked to him. "Why would he just give you that money. Even as a friend, that\'s weird."

I nodded, "he\'s an odd guy that found my weak spot. Though he does not have bad intentions."

"He definitely does," Asher hissed as he looked to me. I felt my heart race as I fought back tears.

"Momma, that hurts," Ashley whɨnėd as I gasped as I realized I began squeezing them against me.

"Sorry, baby." I whispered before smiling to Asher. "We have come to an agreement and he will not lay a hand on me. Don\'t worry."

"Its not as if anything could happen," Sean mumbled and I was surprised how fast Cam shoved him.

"Sean!"

"What the hell are you talking about, Sean?" Shannon asked in a huff.

I looked to Chase and he immediately understood, "we should get going." I tried to get up but stopped as Hunter grabbed my hand.

"We need to talk some more." He smiled to Chase, "there\'s a playground downstairs. It would be good for the kids to have some fun and not listen to us talk."

I sighed and looked to Chase, "I\'m counting on you." He nodded before taking the twins who bounced as they cheered for the playground.

I sighed deeply and leaned back in the chair. Cam shut the door before coming over and wrapping his arms around my neck from behind. "You don\'t have to tell them if you don\'t want to. Sean\'s dumbass shouldn\'t make you do something you don\'t want to."

I nodded, "there\'s no point in hiding it, right?" Hunter looked to me with concern, "ask whatever you want to know and I will tell you."

"Then what was Sean trying to say?"

I looked to Shannon before looking to the ceiling, "nothing can happen between me and Elijah even if he tries. I am impotent unless it is with that Alpha." Cam squeezed me slightly and I patted his head, "don\'t stress. After six years, it doesn\'t even bother me anymore." I glanced to everyone else in the room, "what else?"

"Where have you been?"

I looked to Asher as I fought back more tears, "about three hours away."

"Why did you just leave me that day?" Asher demanded as I couldn\'t fight back my sadness. I grabbed Cam\'s arm and looked to my ŀȧp while I started crying.

"It was not by my choice," I whispered, "even after finding out I was pregnant I planned to leave but tell both of you first." I took a deep breath to settle myself, "Jayden found me and I had no choice but to go with him. When I found a chance to get away, I ran and kept running. I left everything and just ran in fear."

"You should have contacted me."

I shook my head, "I didn\'t want you to see me like that. A pregnant male Omega..." I shivered, "there is nothing more humiliating. I didn\'t want you to see how people\'s impression of me become worse."

Hunter laughed slightly, "you\'ve always been a freak will. Nothing can scare me away at this point." I let out a small laugh even though I also want to let out a cry.

"Can I ask you a question?" Hunter nodded and looked me curiously. "How long did you know?"

Hunter sighed as he looked a Shannon and then back to me. "Around the time I asked you to move in. I just could not bring myself to tell you."

There was a long pause before Asher took a deeper breath. "Hunter," he began as we all look to him. "Would you mind if I talk to Will privately for a little bit?"

Hunter nodded before I looked up to Cam. This is one of my biggest nightmares but it has to be done. I would hurt him even more if I said no. Cam let go of me and I stood before waiting for Asher to lead the way. I followed him as he walked out of the room and went to the small sitting area the twins had been before. He gestured for me to sit down and I made sure to do so on a single person couch in fear that he would try to be close to me. He sat on the chair directly next to me and I trembled when he took my hand in his.

I looked my ŀȧp as I fought back tears. I could not look to him. We were both silent until he squeezed my hand slightly and I fought the urge to look to him.

"Why did you suggest that Connor and I get together? I know you put my phone on silent and I did not even realize he had been trying to call me until I was waiting in the coffee shop while you are outside. I immediately ran outside but was never able to find you." I heard him swallow loudly, "you broke my heart."

I was terrified when he suddenly put his hand on my cheek and turned my face towards him. I looked to his eyes as he began crying with a slight smile on his face. "But I will not give up," he whispered. "I love you too much to leave you and move on."

I became aware of the cold part of his hand. I immediately burst into tears and put my hand around his as I took it off of my face. I looked to see the black metal band on his finger and immediately squeezed his hand between mine. I was unable to speak as I leaned towards his hand while still crying.

He sniffled, "I was hoping to see you wearing yours."

I became overwhelmed with desperation for his love. Against my better judgment, I could not stop myself from pulling the necklace from behind my shirt.

As his tongue intertwined with mine, I felt an overwhelming rush of pŀėȧsurė. But the moment it became painful, I pushed him away. I ġrȯȧnėd as I quickly stood and rushed to a nearby bathroom. I ignored Elijah as he called for me when I passed him.

As I got to the single person bathroom, I locked the door before my knees gave out. My entire body was trembling and my heart begged for my body to react to him. But now the entire lower half of my body felt as though it was burning and not in the sense I wanted it to. I let my pheromones out for just a moment to lessen the pain but it was no use. I want him more than anything and it is not possible. I became aware that I was now bleeding from my injury, likely due to running.

"Will," Elijah called through the door, "let me in."

I heard someone else coming towards the door, breathing hard, "get away from him. He doesn\'t want you to console him!"

I turned to the door and knew I was going to hurt Asher by refusing his help. "Elijah," I whispered and they both became silent, "get Chase."

"But..."

"Please!" I begged him, "please.. I need him."
