She's My Angel

Chapter 14

Ophelia's POV

Yesterday I was Ophelia Roberts, the daughter of Phillip and Libby Roberts. I was human, well I thought I was anyways. Now it turns out I am the offspring of an angel and human. I also happen to be 'mates' with Rhett who is basically a stranger. He does not feel like a stranger but I have known him for less than a week and I already don't want to be separated from him. 

Dr. Hurt, or Liam explained the rest of the day on how my angel side was suppressed by something and because I am the mate of an 'alpha' it caused that side to be unleashed. I feel like my mind is going to explode. I cannot even focus on the fact that Rhett can turn into a wolf because my mind is full of things like my parents are not really my parents and the fact that I am a freaking angel. 

I am not sure what I am feeling. I was scared to ask more about my biological mother even though I wanted to know so much more. The more I thought about her, Rose, the stronger the urge to cry got. 

Liam went on to tell me how my mother appointed him as my guardian and how it was his duty to look after me. 

"If you will excuse me, I have to call Jonathan." This made me snap my head up fast. 

"Why?" I started to feel myself freak out. My biological dad is out there and Liam let on like he helped look for me for a long time but was I ready to meet him? I am not so sure. 

"Because he is your father and he deserves to know you are healthy and alive. I am sure he will be coming here very soon. He lives about three hours away from her." Putting aside my fear of meeting him I found myself curious as to what he is like. 

"Can you tell me about my father please?" Liam looked at me briefly before nodding.

"Jonathan loved your mom more than anything. They met when he was attending college. He was around twenty three and she was, well angels do not age the same as humans so she was probably around one hundred and thirty six years old give or take a few years. They had been together for about a year when she found out she was pregnant. She did not tell him she was pregnant. I think she did not tell him because she knew he would do anything to keep you. If he kept you though you would have been found and probably would have died after an excessive amount of research the elders wanted to do on you." 

I heard Rhett growl which caused me to divert my attention to him. For some reason I felt even more connected to him than I did yesterday. My neck tingled slightly when he looked at me. I wanted nothing more than to throw myself at him and let him take care of me. I scooted toward him and snuggled closer on the queen size bed we are currently occupying. When I am comfortable I meet Liam's eyes. 

"Thank you for telling me. You can call him. I am nervous about seeing him but I guess that is normal. Can you tell me more about being an angel later and what this all means for me?" Liam Hurt simply nods and heads out the door, shutting it on his way. 

"Ophelia." Rhett whispered my name and I felt myself relax even more. 

"Rhett." I snuggled my face into his chest. I instantly felt happier and more refreshed. 

"So I am your mate?" I finally say after a few minutes of comfortable silence. 

"Yes, I am sorry I did not tell you from the very beginning but I was scared you would reject me. I cannot leave without you nor would I want too. You already have my heart and I would do anything for you. I would never hurt you." I know that he would not hurt me. I wanted him to know that I would never leave him or not want to be with him. 

"Rhett, I think I love you. I can certainly say I never want to leave you." This seems to make Rhett really happy. He pulls me closer to him and lightly kisses my neck. The light kiss just makes me want more. I push myself further into him which cause him to groan. 

"Not now Ophelia. You are still weak from all that has happened." I know he is right but that does not help my hormones. 

"Okay. Crap! I just remembered that Hunter said my parents are at my house and they are worried. What am I going to tell them?" Rhett seems unsure at first but then he says,

"Tell them that your boyfriend took you to a specialist that was a friend of the family and that Dr. Hurt did not realize you had checked yourself out and just panicked. Say that they found you had an allergic reaction or responded badly to some cream you used." It sorta concerned me that Rhett was this good at lying. I will brush my concern off for now and focus on the issue at hand. 

I reach for his phone that is on the side table and dial my family's house phone. 

"Mom, dad?"
