She's My Angel

Chapter 13

Rhett's POV

I ignored everyone in the room. My eyes stayed set on my mates form lying on the bed. When she had quite breathing earlier I thought that my life was over, males had filled the room to restrain me when I started to lose it. A male came in that was not part of my pack. Usually I would have guards and pack members throw him in the cells for trespassing. I could smell that he was not a wolf but I could hardly care at the moment when I thought the love of my life, my mate, was dead.

The strange man told me to bite Ophelia in order to save her. At this point I would do anything to save her no matter what the costs. It was hard to believe though that one bite could cure her and bring her back.

When I glanced down at her the veins were still pulsating and shinning although it was dimmer than before. I knew that man who claimed to be Ophelia's guardian was right and that I had to act now. So I bit her, marking her mine. My sanity was hanging by a thin string. My wolf briefly calmed down when I bit her.

Then I waited. I felt everybody in the room hold their breath. They knew that if she did not start breathing soon I would have to be taken care of in the sense of joining her in the afterlife.

It seemed like a life time but I knew it was really only a few minutes, Ophelia shot up breathing frantically. I was instantly soothed but still worried. At least she was alive and that is all that mattered at this very moment.

"Rhett, what happened?" Ophelia's beautiful eyes locked onto mine and I felt myself get even closer to her.

"Sweetheart everything is going to be okay." I did not know how to tell her I had bitten her and what that meant for us.

The strange man stepped forward drawing Ophelia's focus away from me.

"Dr. Hurt? Did Rhett have you come check on me?" Her face twisted up in a confused expression and I knew the feeling I had no clue why he was here besides the fact that he said he was her guardian.

"Um.. no there is much we need to discuss but I will give you two time to be alone for a few minutes while your mate brings you up to speed on what he is." With a short nod, Dr. Hurt bowed out of the room. I turned my attention back on my mate.

"What is he talking about Rhett?" Ophelia's eyes locked on mine and for a minute I could not move. I was still recovering from her coming back to life and dealing with the thought of losing her for good. I barely heard everybody leaving the room as I prepared how I was going to tell her something that could potentially have her hating me.

"Ophelia, I just want you to know that our relationship was meant to be. You are the only woman for me and I am the only man for you. You don't have to express your feelings right now but I have to tell you how much I care about you. Now with that all being said I don't want, what I am about to tell you to affect how you see me or is." I pause to see if she is following what I am saying.

"Rhett I really care about you too. I can't explain why or how but I feel a deep connection to you that is almost scary. Just tell me what you need too."

"I am a true wolf. A true alpha in my pack. I was not bitten to be turned I was born a wolf, the product of the wolfs who love each other very much. I know you may laugh or run from me but that is the truth and if you run I will chase you because you are my mate and my wolf and me would rather die a thousand painful deaths than to be away from you unable to be with you." As I finish I see that my little mate is still in the same position, unmoving from when I started. I give her time to process and hope that she will accept all of me.

"Rhett-" she start but is interrupted by Dr. Hurt barging in.

"Alright I gave you time now there is something important I have to discuss with you Ophelia." I have to bite back a growl as he comes close to her. I don't want to scare her but he is too close to my newly claimed mate.

"We were in the middle of-" I started but was cutoff by stupid Dr. Hurt.

"This is more important at the very moment. This involves you too. So listen carefully mutt." I was highly offended by his tone and name calling but I knew I had to set aside my opinions and feelings until I knew what he had come here for."

"Anyways, I have been looking all over for you. When your mom got pregnant with you I stayed close but she thought it was best if I don't know where you ended up. I argued with her that I could protect the both of you but she did not listen when Rose believes something she doesn't-" Hurt was this time interrupted by my mate.

"You have the wrong person my mother is Libby." She stated it like he was stupid which made me smile.

"Oh Ophelia. Libby is not your mother. I am so sorry I should have started with the very beginning. Your real mom Rose was an angel, she was beautiful you look a lot like her. When I saw you in the hospital I knew it was you before I saw the veins. The resemblance was uncanny. Rose fell in love with a human and she fell hard. It is an unspoken rule not fall in love with a human. That was not the way of our kind. Rose did not listen she loved him with all she had. One day she found out she was pregnant and you should know that angels don't usually get pregnant unless granted by you know... higher power and would only get pregnant by another angel. When she found out she consulted her two best friends me and Xander. I told her to hide herself and the baby because I was scared they would punish her for what she had done but Xander told her to tell the elders. He convinced her that they would accept her and the baby. Rose was four months pregnant when she went to the elders and told them what happened. They gave her two options, she could have the baby taken care of as in gotten rid of or she could have the baby and let them do experiments on it so they could see the affects of a human and angel union. Rose was furious so she came to me and I agreed to help her hide at least till she had the baby. I helped her stay hidden for three and a half months. Then she left me a note saying she had to do the rest on her own. I could not find her anywhere. I did find her eventually... at the humans house. He held her body as she lie unmoving. I thought he had killed her but he told me about how she came to him bleeding everywhere and telling him she had no option."
The room was too quiet when Dr. Hurt took a pause. He looked at Ophelia who was now silently crying. I could see the pain in her eyes and the confusion. My mate was the product of an angel and a human. It seemed insane. I wanted to comfort my mate so I slowly scooted next to her and wrapped my arms around her shoulder.

"Tell me the rest." Was her only response as she leaned into me and waited for Hurt to finish.

"Rose told Johnathan, your real father, that she gave you to a couple that could not have kids and made them promise that they would love you and treat you as if you were theirs and to never tell you the truth about were you came from. She did not want you to know that she had given you up. Rose delivered you but the birth was hard on her. When she got to Johnathan's she told him how she held you and that you were beautiful. He knew that the elders would try to find you and they could do horrible things to you. He was upset for a long time that she did not let him have you. He wanted you so bad. He helped me look for you for years. Johnathan is a good man who loved your mother but after years of loneliness found another woman and I told him I would keep searching for you. Now I found you."
