CHAPTER ONE
Baby, Mama is here” Natasha called out playfully from the parlour. She had not seen Sam for a week and she decided to rush down to his house when she was informed by her friend that she saw Sam entering into his apartment.
Sam told her that he has been working a lot, as they suspect an attempted rogue attack from a neighbouring pack and they are doing everything possible to ensure, they find the traitors.
Her heart raced and she stopped for a minute when she found a bra at the end of the parlour. Her stomach twisted as so many thoughts went through her mind but she stopped herself because she trusted her mate.
She jiggled the door of the Master’s bedroom and found it locked. She took her spare key from her bag and opened the door. The door handle clicked and the door swung open. A fruity and spicy feminine scent hit her face.
Natasha’s heart raced faster and her eyes grew wide as she entered the room. She turned on the light and she felt tiny sweat forming on her forehead as the racing beat of her heart pulsated under her fingertips.
Willow, the Alpha’s daughter was wrapped up in a white Bedsheet and on top of Sam, her hair scattered. She stopped moving as she turned to look at Natasha and then got up abruptly, she held the Bedsheet tightly around her breast.
“Nathy…” Sam called out softly, his voice was full of regret and that was all it took to break down the well of tears forming in my eyes.
“No” Natasha whimpers, the tears making their way out of her eyes like a bag of water that was popped by a sharp object. She took her bag that she dropped on the floor as a result of the shock she felt when she walked into the room.
As she attempted to leave, He grabbed her hands gently, his touch reminded her that she wasn't dreaming and this made her heart sink further into her gut. Natasha turned towards him and the sight of his green eyes, the features she loved most about his face, getting watery broke her even more.
Seconds felt like hours when he tugged her towards him, she stared at the one she had always loved from when she was a teenager and wondered if he had been lying about being busy all the while.
“Did you both have s*x?” she asked as she swallowed so hard, that her throat made an obvious sound. Her heart burned, it felt like her saliva turned into acid.
“We were going to tell you all about it, Natasha” Willow uttered her first words, her voice was filled with pleasure and you could tell that she was enjoying everything that was happening.
“Is this not the first time, are you both….” my gaze shifted from Sam to her and back to him again. “Seeing each other” the words felt like a stone rolling out of my tongue.
Sam drew me to himself, this time, we were so close and I could smell his black leather perfume. “This is my favourite fragrance of his, how could he wear it to sleep with Willow” Natasha's heart wandered, she didn't even know what to think about.
“Nathy, no, we are not together” he chuckled dryly.
“What do you mean, we are not together” Willow asked with a growl.
“Willow, stop it, okay, I am only with you because that is what your father wanted,” Sam said pacing about the room.
Natasha stood there as she watched her life falling apart in just seconds. She just wanted to disappear and wake up in her bed, so it would all become a dream.
The room smelled of s*x and every second she stood there felt like her legs were going to separate from her knees.
She felt herself choking from the smell of sweat in the room, she just wanted to breathe fresh air.
“We are more than s*x buddies or friends with benefits, baby,” she said with a smirk on her face. “Do you need me to define this relationship for you” She scoffed.
“ We can't be screwing each other for months and you think that we are just having fun “ She kissed him and went to seat at the end of the bed, as she packed her hair loosely into a ponytail.
Sam, ran to hold her as she stumbled on the floor “Baby, don't listen to her, I love you” she could see the hurt in his eyes as he said those words and for a second, she doubted everything that she had just heard.
She held his shirt and whipped her head on his chest “How could you do this to us” Natasha said as she cried.
He dropped his chin in defeat, his shoulders deflated. His bare chest went up and down as though the air in the room was too thin. He held my chin up and glanced into her eyes, his eyes pleading but Natasha flinched immediately.
“It was just s*x, I promise, Natasha, it is you I want, I want the one who the moon goddess gave me, not her” he pointed in her direction and stepped closer.
She shook my head and moved away from him “No” she wanted to keep talking but she knew that she was going to wail if she kept talking.
He moved closer to Natasha and held her arms, and when he realized that she wasn't struggling to move from him, he hugged her and kissed her.
He was choosing her over Willow and he was making it clear but it was too late already. Willows's eyes were filled with rage but it didn't last for long, as she went into her bag and pulled out a pregnancy test strip. She raised it with an evil smirk on her face.
“What” Sam and Natasha blinked at her.
She had a small smile on her face as she whispered “We are pregnant” She paused “You are going to become a father soon, Sam”
“No” He was almost screaming, he held Natasha tighter and dropped his head on her shoulder. Natasha felt a sharp pain in her chest, feels like a knife pierced into her soul
“Reject her” Willow hisses.
“I will do no such thing” Sam sounded very angry.
“Then, I will abort the child and you both will leave with the guilt that this baby died because of your selfishness” She shrugged and went to sit down on the dressing table.
Sam’s grip became loosened and at that moment, Natasha knew that she had lost her mate. They've known each other long enough for her to know that family comes first for Sam and he won't trade family for anything.
She inhaled his smell as she knew that, that would be the last time she would be that close to him. She hugged him tight, as she heard his heartbeat, memorizing the feel of the mate bond they both shared but everything ended when he moved away from her as he whispered “ I am sorry”
When he was at the centre of the bedroom, he spoke with a gentle voice “ Natasha, I, Sam, reject you as my mate. He stutters and sobs.
My vision became blurry as I nodded in agreement. Then I turned, picked up my bag and ran out of the door.
