Mated to a control freak Alpha

Chapter Thirty-One

Feeling the need to pee getting stronger I shove into the bathroom and pee.

George sticks his head out of the shower and looks at me trying not to laugh.

"Shut up...I gotta pee when I gotta pee!" I snap.

He continues his shower and I do what I need to do then wash my hands.

Throwing my hair up into a messy bun I strip down and step into the shower with him

Kissing his shoulder blade he turns round and smiles down at me.

"We can go for the ultra-sound today...to see what sex the baby is.." He mumbles and I nod.

"I want a little boy..." I giggle looking down at my growing belly that's making a barrier between the two of us.

"I want a girl...maybe call her Emily or something like that.."

I gasp and bite the inside of my cheek.

"Do you like that name?" He grins.

"Uh...maybe a different name if we have a little girl. I want her to be a warrior not a weak thing like me.." I chuckle.

"Are you okay?" He frowns.

Humming in response I quickly step out of the shower and change into sweat pants and one of George's shirts.

Pulling on some converse I wait for George.

He dresses in his dark jeans and a white polo shirt and boots.

We walk from the pack house through the woods to the pack doctor and he smiles as he sees us.

Laying on the cold hospital bed that smells like old people I lift up the shirt an grab George's hand.

The doctor puts the jelly on and then moved the little machine over my bump.

Looking at the screen I feel myself starting to cry.

"You have a very healthy baby...strong heart beat, 10 fingers and toes." He chuckles.

Choking back a sob I squeeze George's hand and turn back to the screen.

"Do you want to know the sex?" He asks and I shout a "Yes!".

He moves the little machine around a bit more and grins, "Looks like you've got a little boy on the way.."

Smiling wide, I grab a tissue and wipe off the gel from my belly before raising to my feet.

"A little boy...the packs new Alpha.." I giggle and George gives a joking growl.

"Let's go have some lunch, it's almost noon." George smiles wrapping his arm around my shoulders.

As we walk back to the pack house I see Nathaniel crouching up in a tree.

Is he watching over me?

Protecting me?

Staring at him I feel a tightness in my chest.

"I...uh....I'll meet you back at the house..." I mumble slowing down.

"You okay Skylar?" He frowns.

Peering over his shoulder at Nathaniel who's obviously listening in.

"Yeah...I think I just need to be alone for a little, you know everyone crowding me and not letting me do the smallest things on my own because I'm pregnant.." I laugh dryly.

"Okay..I'll see you back at the house. I love you." He smiles kissing my forehead.

"Me too..." I smile.

He walks away and I wait until he's out of sight before running my hands through my hair.

"Nathaniel...come down here!" I groan.

In seconds I'm on the floor and Nathaniel is pinning me.

"That thing inside of you is going to kill you if you let it grow. Your body isn't made to birth a mutt!" He snaps.

"What are you gonna do?! Beat it out of me!" I growl shoving him off me.

Standing up I hold into a tree and I soon feel a punch to a gut.

Crying out I fall onto all fours and squeeze my eyes shut.

There's then a kick to the stomach and a kick to the head.

"HELP! PLEASE!" I scream as I cough up blood.

Feeling dripping down my thighs I touch my leg and see blood.

"Why?!" I whimper.

"So you can return to me...." Nathaniel whispers before licking the blood off my chin and vanishing.
