Mated to a control freak Alpha

Chapter Twenty-Three

I cannot stop thinking of Nathaniel.

Sitting on the plush cushions on my window seat I lean my head against the window and watch the rain turn the ground into a muddy slop.

George emerges from the trees and looks up at me.

Turning away from the window I sigh quietly.

As his scent enters the house I run to the bedroom door, slam it shut and lock it with the key.

Sitting back in the same position as before I feel my eyes getting heavy.

"Skylar...please let me in." George whimpers.

"I need you to believe me."

"You're my mate, my Luna, my one true love."

Walking over to the door I rest my head against it and place my hand on the door handle.

Slowly opening it I peek through the gap and see him curled up against the wall across the hall way.

Leaving the door open slightly I crawl into bed and push my face into the pillow.

"Kitten?" George whispers.

Feeling the bed behind me dip, George soon lifts me up and lays me on his chest.

Looking up at him I give him a weak smile.

"We can't find her Kitten..when I ran off into the woods after you, she walked off into the outlands." He frowns.

Humming in response I climb off if his chest and walk downstairs to where I see Hazel holding a young girl who's crying.

"Oh! Skylar! Please hold Annabelle for a moment I have to pee!" She begs.

I nod and take her from Hazel's arms.

The young girl continues to scream cry which gives me an idea.

Holding her with a single arm I sway slightly and sing a lullaby.

"Dancing bears,
Painted wings,
Things I almost remember,
And a song someone sings once upon a December.
Someone holds me safe and warm,
Horses prance through a silver storm,
Figures dancing gracefully across my memory.

warm,
Horses prance through a silver storm,
Figures dancing gracefully across my memory.

Far away,
Long ago,
Glowing dim as an ember,
Things my heart used to know,
Things it yearns to remember,
And a song someone used to sing....once upon a December." I sing whilst swaying with the now sleeping girl in my arms.

Smiling down at her I turn to see everyone stood in the doorway and far corner of the room.

I open my mouth to say something but nothing comes out.

"You have an amazing voice Skylar!" Natasha smiles.

Hazel walks over and takes Annabelle, "I might have you do that more often."

Everyone leaves and George steps towards me which makes me step backwards.

"That song sounded personal." He sighs rubbing the back of his neck.

Raising my eyebrow I cross my arms over my chest.

"I'm going for a walk..." I mumble, walking towards the door he grabs my hand and turns me.

"I'm coming." He says staring dead into my eyes.

Ripping my hand out of his I storm outside into the pouring rain.

Smiling I raise my hands up and spin before shifting into my wolf.
