Torture

chapter sixtheen

I had watched her a few times on occasional days, when I could sense her discomfort. She had nightmares many times but some days they were worse than others. I sat in the corner of her room watching her peacefully sleep, before she frowned quietly starting to whimper. She twisted her body from side to side, throwing her arms everywhere.

I stood up making my way to her side but just when I was about to lie down, she lifted her body placing her feet on the floor. I frowned never seeing her sleepwalk before, but followed her out the door curious where she would go.

"Show yourself, I want to see you please." She quietly mumbled still walking down the hallways wondering who she was talking to.

"I know he's behind me, I can sense him." I froze, my eyes widening at what she said sparking more curiosity. Something about this wasn't right, it seemed as though she wasn't just sleep walking but hypnotised instead.

Her body crumbled before me, just enough time for me to run to her and stop her from hurting herself. I clutched her little body close me, her white hair falling on my arms. I stayed by her side until morning, right before she woke up I left. Not wanting her to know that I've been staying in her room for nights now, thinking how the future will be.

I've been meaning to talk to her about this topic, mainly about my son. Excuse me our son, a heir to this pack. I watched her cautiously when she entered the dinning hall, she looked perfectly fine. Her hair neatly tied up in a high ponytail, wearing a pale yellow dress down to her feet.

She smiled, saying her good mornings to everybody taking a seat by my side.
"Good morning, Ophelia." She blushed at my words, carefully reading my eyes somehow entering my head.

"How are you feeling this morning ?" She glanced at me once again, curiously possibly wondering why I'm paying so much attention to her today.

"Fine, Thank you Nathaniel. And yourself ?" Her voice was soft, it was comforting to everybody and most of all the children. They grew a liking to her immediately and she, was more than good with them.

"Lewis can strangely sense when you are around, he immediately stops acting up." Damon spoke out, shaking a teddy before the two boys trying to grasp their attention.

Ophelia simply laughed before reaching out her arms to him, where he happily reached out he's clapping he's hands. She will be a good mother, one day. Soon perhaps, hopefully ? I felt her heart flutter, the happiness radiating off her when I touched her skin and looked her in the eyes.

"How did the dress fitting go ?" I questioned, focusing back on trying to feed the little boy in Ophelias arms.
"Oh you should see Ophelia, she looks beyond beautiful Nathaniel." Isabella cheered out, the other ladies happily joining her.

"Well I can't wait for our day then, to see how amazing you look." A blush creeped up her cheek, a wide smile decorating her face.

"If you have time today Ophelia come visit me in my office, please." She simply nodded in agreement, returning her attention to Lewis.

I met Xavier back in the office, asking him a couple of questions to see if he could think of anything what could be wrong with Ophelia.

"It was strange, she was talking to somebody. But not just a dream she knew I was following behind her, she told them. I don't usually admit this, but I felt a bit scared out." I scratched the back of my head awkwardly, Xavier looking dazed thinking what could be the matter.

"I will look into it, but it is quite uneasy." A knock on the door tuned us both out of our conversation.

Check out my newly published story "the secret fallen." It would mean a lot thank you.
