My Alpha Mate

The Song Of Songs

Chapter 20: The Song Of Songs.

I wipe my face swallowing the rest of my nutella then look up at Greyson.

"How come you're up?" I mutter while placing the empty nutella can on the table next to the swing.

Yes empty. I have no regrets.

Greyson walks over to the swing, sitting next to me, then offering me the blanket.

"I was restless." He says and I laugh.

"You and me both." I say while gladly cuddling into the warm big blanket.

"Do you want some of the blanket?" I ask. He did bring the blanket and I totally jacked it.

"I don't get cold." Greyson says like he's all cool and I roll my eyes.

Stupid Alpha.

"Oh excuse me, I forgot you're a Big Bad Alpha." I say in a low manly voice and he laughs while shaking his head.

"The Big Bad Alpha. And don't you forget it." Greyson says pointing an accusing finger as I roll my eyes.

"Besides, I brought it for you. After hearing what sounded like a wild animal raiding my kitchen I saw you trying to go stealth mode outside and almost fall as you tried to open to back door quietly. I knew it was cold out so I grabbed a blanket from my room." He was obviously trying his best not to directly laugh at my attempt to be quite, but at least he didn't outright say I did terrible.

"Thank you for bringing the blanket and indirectly calling me a wild animal. You're just the sweetest thing aren't you?" My voice was dripping with sarcasm as he smirked.

"I figured you would've taken offense if I told you that the only wild part of you was your hair."

"Hey asshole, watch it!" My shrieks mixed with my attempt to take the little bit of blanket he had for punishment sent him into fits of laughter as I sulked. I put protective hands over my hair as he looked at me still laughing.

After that I find myself smiling as we look up at the stars in peace.

The silence was welcomed until I heard humming from Greyson that had my ears straining to listen.

"Do you sing?" I ask curiously and he looks at me from the corner of his eye then looks forward again.

"Yeah."

"Sing for me? Please?" I ask and sit up watching Greyson.

He raises a brow staring at me for a while then sighs giving in.

"Well what song?" Greyson asks turning towards me and I tap my chin.

I don't know, there's so many songs. So many genres...

"I don't know. You pick." I say and he nods thinking then clears his throat.

"I heard you playing this song the other day." He adds before starting.

"I, I'm gonna love you, forever and ever and ever. Girl I, I'm gonna hold you, forever and ever and ever, until tomorrow."

He smirks and I gape. Of course, he picks a song that's going to throw me into cardiac arrest.

Greyson grabs my hands in his and pulls me off the swing leaving me at a loss or words.

He sings countless of songs, courtesy of me, and I enjoy every second until he's finished.

He had such an amazing voice, while I couldn't sing to save my life.

I hug him while saying thanks as we sit down on the bench together me laying against him while he plays with my hair.
