Rebirth of the Alpha's Slave Mate (Samantha and Kade) novel Chapter 123

Chapter 123

“Luna Natasha. I’ve been looking all over for you.”

Natasha halted her frantic pacing in the garden. It was cold out, especially at this time of night, and she hadn’t even bothered to grab her coat. But she hardly noticed the bite of the autumn air against her skin.

She turned, finding Melvin approaching. Noticing her shivering, he shrugged off his cloak and handed it to her. She snatched it away and wrapped it around her shoulders.

“What do you want?” she barked. “I’m busy.”

Melvin lifted a brow, but then glanced over his shoulder as if checking to make sure no one was watching. Then, he leaned in and murmured, “I heard that Elena found herself in her current situation because she tried to seduce Alpha Kade.”

Natasha pulled her head back and shot her Delta an arch look. “What does that have to do with me?”

“Kade is engaged to another woman-Elena knew this, and yet she tried to seduce him anyway. If she was unscrupulous enough to try that, and failed, then who’s to say what she’ll try with Samson now?”

“You really think…” Natasha blinked, considering Melvin’s words. It made more sense than she wanted to admit; if Elena was okay with disrespecting Kade’s betrothal for her own gain, then she’d probably also be okay with trying the same with Samson.

“Just a warning,” Melvin said, already backing away. “Stay on your toes, Luna. Your position here might be even shakier than you think.”

As Natasha watched her Delta walk away, something ugly and hateful began to curl in her gut. Natasha had seen the way Elena looked at Tyler and Samson-like they were hers to claim.

She had also seen the way they looked at her.

Ever since Elena, or Samantha, or whatever the fuck her name was had arrived, Samson and Tyler had doted on her like no other. They had chosen her over Natasha time and time again.

And then today, when she had returned, broken and dying… Samson had nearly collapsed. He hadn’t stopped thinking about her since then.

Was it possible that, if Elena woke up, she might try to seduce Samson? Natasha had feared the girl seducing her son, but if she wanted to grasp at power, then Samson would be the simpler choice…

Natasha’s jaw clenched. She had to know.

Leaving the garden, she hurried inside and found Samson pacing his study. He looked exhausted, with dark circles ringing his eyes and a drawn expression on his face. He was so distracted that he nearly bowled Natasha straight over even when she walked straight up to him, forcing her to grab his arm and shake him.

“Samson! Snap out of it!”

The Alpha jerked his head up, blinking a few times. As his vision focused, he sighed. “Natasha. I’m sorry. I didn’t see you there.”

Natasha pursed her lips and pulled away, folding her arms over her chest. “You’re still worried about her.”

“Why wouldn’t I be?” Samson sank down onto one of the armchairs by the fireplace and scrubbed his hands over his weary face. “She could die, Natasha. I’ve already grown so attached; I can’t lose her.”

Of course he would say that. Maybe Melvin had been onto something.

Worry replaced the jealousy coiling in Natasha’s stomach. If her position here was directly threatened by that wretch, then this was even worse than she thought.

“She’s just a rogue,” Natasha blurted out.

Samson lifted his head. “What?”
