She's My Angel

Chapter 9

Rhett's POV

It has been about five hours since my mate has left and I was miserable. My mom and dad kept rubbing my shoulders and giving me pity looks. They never had to go through this my mom is a wolf and so is my father. When they met by the next day they were fully mated. 

I am okay with my mate being a human. Actually by her being human I feel more protective over her. Why did she try to distance herself from? I know she feels what I feel, I can see it in her eyes and in the way she leans into my touch. 

I should be looking over blueprints for the new set of bunks being built for the pact. The sad thing was instead of doing that I am staring at my phone wondering if it was to soon to call her. 

Reaching for the phone, it begins to ring. Caller ID says Ophelia. 

I had to calm myself down, I really don't want to sound to eager and desperate. Waiting after two rings to pick it up. 

"Is this Rhett?" Definitely not my mate. 

"Yes who is this. Where is Ophelia?" I started to feel uneasy.

"Well..um.. She is in the hospital. This is a little awkward. Maybe you remember me I met you once. I am Beth, her friend. She kept saying your name so-" Everything froze. My mate is hurt, hurt. In the hospital. I need to see her. I should have kept her at my house with me. 

"Stop. Why is she in the hospital?" I was in full alpha mode. My wolf was severally close to snapping and that would not be good for anyone. 

"She fainted. They won't let us see her because we are not biologically family. I don't know what happened she just fainted." Not wasting anytime, I ran through the house heading outside. I passed many pack members but the only thing that mattered was seeing her. 

"Be there in 5." I hung up, not waiting for a response.

Ophelia's POV

"I am fine, now can I please leave?" I have been arguing with this doctor for the last ten minutes, he still will not let me leave.

"Ms. Roberts we still have run tests and-" I never lose my temper but I was close.

"I am 18, Dr. Hurt. I feel fine, no more pains. So can I sign myself out." He let out a frustrated sigh. 

"I am concerned about those pains but I cannot make you stay." I went to reply but a nurse walked in telling him he was needed at the front desk. Saying he would be back in a moment. 

I was not going to wait around for him to come back. I at least could get dressed. The clothes that I had been wearing earlier were folded on the chair against the wall. I turned my back toward the door and slipped on my pants. Slipping off the gown, I hear the door open. 

I was about to yell at the person walking in without knocking but when I turn around I am facing a angry looking Rhett. 

"Rhett!" I yell as I grab my shirt covering myself. He wasted no time in coming to pull me close. He was breathing hard, scaring me a little. 

"I am ok. I just had a faint spell." It was like Rhett did not hear me. All of sudden I feel his hand running down my back. I felt pain. Extreme pain that had my knees buckling. 

"Ophelia!" I could hear him but could not respond. I look down at my chest and see that the veins are are glowing. Because that makes perfect sense. 

'Just imagining it Ophelia, just imagining it.' I chanted to myself. 

"Ophelia, angel look at me." Rhett captured my head between his hands. As I stare into his eyes my breathing started evening out and the pain eased. 

"Rhett it hurt so bad." His face held so many emotions and I felt bad for being the reason. I went to stand up but Rhett had other plans. He swept me up in his arms and headed out the door.

"Rhett what are you doing? Put me down!" Ignoring me, he continued down the hall and instead of going to the elevator he started down the stairs. 

"I am taking you to a family doctor and do not argue it is done decided. We will figure out what is happening, I promise." I trust him. I really do but I just knew I should not feel like this and it made it hard for me to go along with it.

"I will not argue if you promise me one thing." Rhett looks down at me and nods,

"Anything." 

"Tell me why I keep feeling this way around you, why I always want to be around you. I know it is not normal." He was silent for a minute.

"I will tell you everything, after you see the doctor. You have my word." 

I smile up at him before resting my head on his chest. The pain was still there but right now it was more of an ache. Poor Beth and the rest of the guys are probably worried sick. I will call them when we get where we are going.

Finally being able to relax, I drifted off to sleep.
