The hated witch

4. Sensing him?

*Ophelia's Pov*

After my and my nana's talk, I got ready for the day. Coming down the stairs again I saw a fully made breakfast with a huge cake on the dining table. As I made my way towards it I couldn't stop but stare at the mouthwatering cake.

Let me tell you my nana is the best baker you'll ever meet.

Afterwards, I was so full I had the feeling that if  I moved I'll explode. But it didn't stop her from handing me her presents, which I am still currently opening. In my opinion she gave me too much, but she meant it's an important birthday and I shouldn't make her mad by not accepting her presents.

An angry grandma is a scary grandma, believe me.

''Open your last present.'' I look at the table were all the opened presents and torn wrapping paper laid. Under all of this was a small little box, wrapped completely different, looking dusty.

I took it in my hands, blowing off the dust, immidiately sneezing afterwards. My nana chuckled and encouraged me to go on. 

I pulled open the mesh, letting it drop on the floor. Carefully pulling open the wrapping paper, because it seemed so fragile, I pulled it off fully.

I gasp loudly seeing what it was. There were noumerous pictures of me as a toddler, baby and every one of them was with  my parents. A beautiful necklace so shiny and so much detail. That was no question my mothers.

(imagine without the earrings or not how you want but in the story the earrings probably aren't exsisting.)

But that wasn't the last thing inside. There were my dad's colourblind glasses, which might sound weird but it was actually a real cute story. My dad was colourblind since birth and has never seen any colours. Me and my mom wanted to make him the best birthday in giving him these but since we hadn't have much money I scraped out everything out of my piggybank to buy it. Obviously my mom paid the most for it but I was to little to realise that.

 My dad was a strong man but as we gave him the gift and my mom told him about me spending everything till my last penny on it, even he cried some tears.

Tears were by now falling freely down my cheeks. I have really something my parents had and they gave it specifically to me, I mean I hope they did. Or maybe my nana just kept them and now gave it to me as a present. Anyways it means so much to me.

My nana caressed my shoulder ''Your parents told me to give it to you on your 18th birthday. Also there is a letter inside, written by them.''

So I was right about that, and I let out a happy chuckle, excited to have something from my parents, making me feel as if they were alive.

I slowely took out the thin paper. Opening it I saw the most beautiful handwriting in ink ever. No question that this is my mothers.

Dear Ophelia

We are deeply sorry that we left you with your nana. It pains me and your father till this day and I wish we wouldn't have to do that, but we did it for your protection. We can't let our baby girl suffer.

Remember we are always watching over you, and no matter what, listen to what your nana says and your own instincts, they will lead you the right way. We are so proud of you and love you deeply.

I know today is a big day and you are probably afraid but don't be. We were closer with werewolves than you think, he will love you, I promise. 

Stay safe, you are our princess always and forever,

In love Mom and Dad

I could barely read anymore, my vision was so blurred by my tears. I covered my mouth with my hand to stifle a huge sob, that threatened to escape. 

Nana was quickly by my side, giving me the biggest bear hug ever. Even though it was sad, this was the best birthday present I've ever gotten.

And that's how me and nana spent the whole day in our cottage, playing games, eating until our stomach were bloated and watched movies until my nana fell asleep. 

I was still wide awake, so I got up, turned off the tv and covered my nana with the blanket on the couch. 

Stepping out on the front porch, I inhaled a deep breath. Today was exhausting, no question, but also really amazing. Leaning againt the railing I look up into the night sky which was decorated by thousands of stars. Mom and dad were defenitely one of them. I spotted two big ones close to eachother and I smiled at them.

''Hey mom, hey dad'' I whispered up in the sky. It may be childish and people might not believe it but they said they're watching over me and also my nana told me when I was young, if I miss them i should just look up in the sky and search the biggest two stars. They will sadly not answer me but listen and support me from above.

The cool breeze of the icy night releasing some tension in my muscles and clearing up my mind. Or some of it.

The whole mate thing still didn't really sit right with me. But I promised myself I will give him a chance, hopefully he is the same as my granddad and dad. I hope.

Suddenly a huge gush of wind rushes past me, just one and then it was gone. I immidiately straightened up my back, looking around the source for it. Were my parents trying to contact me? 

I shook my head at that thought, that wasn't possible.

Tingles start to run through my body, but nobody was there. I looked around because the first idea for the source I had, was my mate. But there is nobody and as far as I know, werewolves aren't invisible.

My heart rate began to raise and the air shifted instantly from cold to warm. The tingles over my body only increased meaning he is coming closer.

I heard a loud deep howl in the distance, goosbumps instantly arise on my body. A shiver in delight runs down my back at the beautiful sound. 

But suddenly the nervousness got the best of me, I quickly shook my head to snap out of my daze, and basically ran into the cottage.

Slamming the door behind me, my chest was heaving up and down in a fast pace. Not noticing that I closed the door so loud, my nana stirred a little.

Luckily she didn't wake up, and I quickly turned around to lock the door and proceeded to do that to every window too. 

As I headed upstairs to go to bed I still heard several distant howls, coming from the same wolf, always sending a wave of pleasure through me.

 I thought about what I just did. I mean yeah, I am going to give him a chance but not tonight.

Let's see when he finds me. 

Come and get me mate.

A/N 

I really don't know what to think of it. Btw my updating times are different because I once got  asked about it.

I never was one to hold onto a timetable, because I am a very spontanious person. Also sometimes I just don't know what to write and have no motivation.

In my opinion my writing is wayyy better when I feel like I wanna write and not when I am forced to.

Thank you :)
