She's My Angel

Chapter 10

Rhett's POV

Ophelia was still sleeping but that did stop me from having her examined by the pack doctor. I was more than worried. Walking into her hospital room I had been happy to see that she was okay. That was short lived when I saw the vein-like things coating her back and chest. I reached out touch them and they glowed. I had seen a lot of things in my lifetime but not that.

I was hoping the doctor would tell me some good news. Maybe it was a rare allergic reaction or something that is just rare but very curable.

When a wolfs mate is in pain it is like you are hurting just as much as them. My mom was the alphas daughter and my dad was the alphas son, making them a powerful combination and me have double the alpha blood. This leads to being more protective.

I needed her to be okay. If something happened to her, I would turn rouge and be a danger to everyone around me. Someone would have to kill me. It was common that if a wolf lost his mate there was only cure, death.

"Alpha McCain," One of the pack doctors, Christina, calling for my attention. She made me stay outside so she could examine my mate, I did not necessarily like it but I did relent and stay out in the hall.

"Yes, how is she?" I demand.

"The pain comes and goes. I have never seen this. I really wish I could help but this is beyond what I know. I am sorry Alpha."

I could not respond, I was to upset. I push past her and enter Ophelia's current room.

She looked so fragile and innocent. I wish I could take away her pain. I just found her and now I don't know what is wrong with her or how to fix it.

Sitting in the chair next her bed I grab her small hand, enclosing it into mine. Her touch starts calming my wolf down, not much seeing as he knew she was in pain but was enough for me not to lose control.

"Rhett." My eyes snapped up to her beautiful and awake face.

"Hey angel."

"Rhett it feels like I'm dying. I don't want to die." I was never one to cry but tears gathered in my eyes before I forced myself to suck it up. I would not let her see me getting emotional.

"Don't talk like that. I talked to the doctor and you just have a virus. It is going to be okay." A little lie is worth it. It may buy me some more time.

"I never heard of a virus where your veins turn white and glow." Rolling her eyes at me like she knew I was lying.

"Okay, so maybe not a virus but I am positive that there is an answer for all this. I will find it and make the pain go away." I promise her. I lean in a kiss her forehead before standing up.

"I will be back shortly, I have to talk to some people. Get some rest." Turning around I walk out of the room and head back down the hall way.

This was not fair. Not fair for her. She was healthy and all of sudden she is struggling to breath.

We haven't even talked about anything yet. She doesn't know about me or how much I love her. I am shocked she hasn't started panicking about the way I act around her.

All that will have to wait. Right now I had to find out what is wrong with my mate.

Dr. Hurt's POV

Stepping into my office I lock the door and walk over to my desk. She does not realize how lucky she is that she ended up in the hospital, the night I was working.

Picking up my phone, I dial the number I have memorized but haven't called in 18 years.

"Yes this is Liam Hurt. I found her-" Being interrupted I waited for them to finish asking their questions.

"Yes I am sure. Someone must have suppressed her true self but it is not holding. I have my suspicions that it has to do with a certain werewolf. I believe he is her mate. I barely got to see her since he took her but I saw enough to know it will not be long until the dam breaks. Don't worry I will find her and do what I was meant to do." Hanging up, I strip out of my white jacket.

I had already done my research the moment I saw the white veins and knew everything I could possibly know about her.

Ophelia Roberts.

Her mother hid her well.

Ophelia herself is extremely smart, if her grades and early acceptance to college was any indication. She had five best friends Beth, Lacey, Brian, Logan, Hunter. It was job to know everything and anything Ophelia Roberts does or has done.

Stepping out of my office, I walk towards the elevator. My shift has finally ended at the hospital.

I enjoy my job but there was one thing I was meant to do and now I was going to have the chance. I have been waiting 18 years for this.
