The Alpha's Exchanged Mate Chapter 18
I detest going to prison. There is a certain type of chill it gives me, maybe because I am claustrophobic and have a weird reaction to being confined in an enclosed space, or maybe because I feel the system is flawed and most people here don't really deserve to be here.The night howlers prison was not really different from any conventional prison.There was truly no joy in such a place as this; as everyone was either angry, scowling, or remorseful, it was all negative feelings, and we all know negativity is contagious."Luna Edwina," the guard greeted, the name sounded so weird, and I couldn't imagine what would happen if Sonia found out. That used to be her title. When I was first informed about the Alpha wanting me to be his mate and requesting my presence, I was excited and happy; overwhelmed was the word. I told myself that the world would finally take me seriously, and I would no longer be considered deficient.But when I was informed he had chosen my sister instead of me, I bro
The Alpha's Exchanged Mate Chapter 19
Alexander's POV...For the first time in a while, I was looking forward to going home. I wasn't sure why I felt that way, but I knew it brought me a tremendous amount of happiness. We are most probably going to have a fight and most likely not agree on something, but for the first time, I was going home to my real mate, and that alone is worth celebrating.I reached home to meet Becca in the central parlor. Why was she there? She should be anywhere Edwina is."Becca, why are you here?" I asked without even answering her greeting."She said she wanted to be alone," she replied calmly."Alone, Alone where?" I asked."She is in the room," she replied."Is she still in our room, or does she mean another room?" I had instructed Becca earlier to aid her move into another room, so I wasn't sure what room exactly we were talking about."What room is that?" I asked again."Your room, sir, " she replied, and then I exhaled. I quickly wheeled myself to the room. After the whole fiasco about sex
The Alpha's Exchanged Mate Chapter 20
Alexander's POV...It was a buffet of seven-course meals, with candlelights and a band to serenade us.There were violinists, pianists, and guitarists. From the little research I did about pleasing she-wolves, I made sure there were a lot of white roses. It was our first dinner as a couple, and I wanted to make it as unique as possible.Edwina was seated across the table, opposite me, dressed in a strapless, high-fashion dinner gown. She makes the most beautiful Luna, her brown hair is packed in a single ponytail, and her eyes radiate from the candlelights before her. She smelled like sweet, raspberry, and apples. She looks gracious and magnificent.I had asked my cook to set up a whole table for us and make it as romantic as possible. I always wanted to do something like this with Sonia, but she always preferred to eat out. She always says if it isn't a five-star hotel or restaurant, she wasn't eating.Since I married her, I am pretty sure I had visited all the five-star restaurants
The Alpha's Exchanged Mate Chapter 21
Alexander's POV...The white roses on the table suddenly did not look as interesting as they had been when the evening had started. In fact, now everything looked drab, and the excitement that had bubbled within me upon seeing the setting for the first time died.I watched as the lights from one of the candlelights died out, and I sighed as a result, it was almost the same way the feeling in my stomach felt. The band that I had hired for the night was currently playing one of my favorite songs, and I closed my eyes and leaned back on the chair, allowing the music to wash over me and calm me, even if for just a little bit. I ran my fingers across my chest, where it seemed to be hurting the most, and for reasons unknown to me, I just couldn't get the pain to go away. I couldn't even explain why it was there in the first place. Watching Edwina leave the room in anger made my stomach churn in not only anger but also frustration. This was not my plan for tonight. At the start of the ev
The Alpha's Exchanged Mate Chapter 22
Edwina's POV...After the big fight with Alexander, I have only found time to do basic stuff. I missed when I was still among the humans, and I could work, but now I have a Luna duty to do. As the Luna, you have to be in attendance in all the gatherings, and sometimes, I feel uncomfortable at the casting glares and the condescending glances. I once heard two women talking about me, again in the bathroom during a function. I don't know what it is with women and gossiping in the bathroom."Poor Alpha Alexander, he had to settle for this woman because of his disabilities," the brunette woman with ugly glasses said to the dark-haired woman. The other woman gave a pitiful look with an exaggerated gasp."I feel for him, he is not even the glimpse of the Alpha he used to be, I heard he is now a joke to the Alpha community." The other lady replied."And this sorry thing for a Luna he had gotten for himself is only making things worse,"They turn to face each other, " I don't know how Beta Ben
The Alpha's Exchanged Mate Chapter 23
Edwina's POV…The minute I heard Ben's voice, I immediately got up and left the room. I didn't turn back to see his face. I didn't want to because I didn't want to be reminded of all the hurt. I don't know why, but I just couldn't do it. I would come back here to face him some other time, but not today. I left the penitentiary building and hurried on my feet outside. My driver must have been surprised to see that I had come out so early, but that was the least of my problems. I entered the vehicle that had brought me here, the one Alexander had prepared for me to carry me around, and I ordered him to drive me from this place as soon as I'd entered.What is wrong with me? Why should I be running away when I'd done absolutely nothing wrong? I couldn't answer those questions, but I did feel a sense of calm and relief sweep over me the minute he'd driven me out of the prison gates.Now, I was back at the pack house. Alexander was there. He hadn't gone to work yet, but he was about to, and
The Alpha's Exchanged Mate Chapter 24
Edwina's POV...Warm and fluffy.Those were the first thoughts that ran through my mind the moment I roused from my sleep and gained consciousness. Everywhere around me felt soft and very comfortable, and my entire body felt lax and fully sated. The cool satin material of the sheets against my skin caused the hairs on the surface of my skin to rise, and the cocooning warmth that surrounded me brought back the memories of the previous night. The last feeling of sleep in me ebbed as a blush rose in my cheeks when the event of the previous night rushed through my mind-sending my mind reeling, my cheeks heating, and my body tingling. And then, finally, the scent of Alexander filtered in my nose, and I flipped my eyes open, taking a subtle sniff at the air, and smiled lightly when the intoxicating scent drowned me slightly. I turned around on my side, and the sight of an empty bed made a frown paint my lips. My side of the bed was warm, but Alexander's side of the bed sent a chilly fee
The Alpha's Exchanged Mate Chapter 25
Edwina's POV…The knock on the door had been so loud and unexpected that it caused me to flinch, and almost at the same time, I was moving in the opposite direction of the room, pulling my sweatshirt down and trying to gather a semblance of organization. I moved in the direction of the door, ignoring the look of annoyance and frustration that was currently painting Alexander's face. The moment I pulled open the door, a maid stood there with her head bowed, and she had a small envelope in her hands. "I was asked to bring this here." She said simply when I only continued to watch her in silence, and I furrowed my brows, taking the envelope from her hands. "Thank you." I said quietly to her, shutting the door gently without waiting to hear her response. I clicked the lock back in place before turning back around to face Alexander. The Alpha currently had his brows creased in question at the envelope in my hands. "What's that?" He asked as I moved in his direction, holding out his h

Authors POV...Becca searched around the kitchen uncomfortably, trying not to meet Caleb's eyes. It was just as Ramona had said; he looked terrible. His eyes obviously were sleep deprived. She had been trying her best to avoid him all week, and it worked. Becca didn't get to see him, just as she had wished.Watching her every move, Caleb walked towards the kitchen island, taking Ramona's seat. He sighed in exhaustion."Until when would you keep doing this?" He asked, holding his head together with his hands.She gulped hard, toying with her fingers. "did you know about Ramona coming?""How was I supposed to know? I haven't spoken to her in weeks. I was surprised myself to see her here."Searching his eyes for any form of lie or pretence, Becca saw the naivety in his eyes. It was obvious Caleb had no idea of Ramona's coming. She inhaled and exhaled at the same time, trying to steady her breath.It wasn't worth brooding on too much; Becca herself was tired of being so far away from him.
The Alpha's Exchanged Mate Chapter 216
Authors POV...Ramona searched around the crowd, trying to see if she would get a hold of Becca, but she seemed to disappear at every chance she got to approach her. One thing about the gathering of night howlers is how merry they all become and how they know how to party till the day ends. Especially since the alpha had finally gotten back to his feet. Annoyed at how hard it was becoming, Ramona made her way towards the podium area to ask a guard where Becca was. The guard directed her to the kitchen.Her heels clattered against the hallways as she manoeuvred her way around the pack house. Getting into the kitchen, Becca was there as she had been told. Standing at the edge of the kitchen was Becca, who seemed so lost in her thoughts. Ramona bit her lip really hard; she felt so guilty.For the past three weeks, Ramona had forced her way into Caleb's home to have him bend to her wheel. Unfortunately, Caleb seems to be much more determined than she was to not give in to her advances.Ev
The Alpha's Exchanged Mate Chapter 215
Edwina's POV...For what seemed like a lifetime, he didn't say a word. I was getting bothered, and my standing didn't feel good, considering my position. I would like to think that Xander reads my mind. Almost in a split second, he had dusted a chair that sprouted out from among the piles of antiques in the space and had me seated on it.I gulped nervously, feeling bad for thinking ill of him. "Xander..."He held a hand up, "please let me finish." He pleaded."Okay." I let out in a whisper.Still standing, Xander had his back turned to me, obviously trying to hide the tears in his eyes. "over the years, as I grew, I leaned on Ben as he was the only person really close to me. I felt safe trusting him with all of me. Also, the idea of family grew within me so much. I couldn't wait to have a Luna. When I did come of age, I pleaded hard with the moon goddess to show me my desired mate. When she showed you to me, I was too greedy and thought I was doing it for the sake of the pack. Eventua
The Alpha's Exchanged Mate Chapter 214
Edwina's POV...I stomped my foot through the hallway in annoyance, indecisive as to why my emotions were spluttering all over the place. I could blame it on pregnancy, knowing quite well it wasn't just about that.Tears laced my eyes as I bounced off the walls. Seeing him stand in all of his glory, like the Greek god most books describe, was overwhelming. In all truth, Xander is a good-looking man. Every of his body structure, from the chiselled jawline to his legs, made my clit ache.I was wet beyond measure, and if he slipped right inside me this minute, I was sure to orgasm right on the spot. I feel angry at myself for having such thoughts, considering how much he had disregarded me. But what to do when I miss him so much? I ache for his touch every night, and my urges had mounted since I got pregnant.Probably, just maybe, I would have held back on my sexually consumed thoughts if he wasn't looking so much like a snack. It's been a month, and I must say every day is more than ten
The Alpha's Exchanged Mate Chapter 213
Alexander's POV...I shifted uncomfortably in the wheelchair, eager to stand up and not have to deal with the facade I had been living in anymore. Glancing to my side, I tried to keep eye contact with Edwina. It was obvious she was doing everything she could to avoid my ears. A week after she found out about my true disabled state, I tried to get on her good book, but she never paid me any mind.I had thought coming out to the pack members would be easy, as I had informed Caleb to arrange the process after a week when I might have gotten back with Edwina. To my disappointment, three weeks went by with myself and Caleb wallowing in self-pity and none of our women paying us any mind. For myself and Edwina, we have been going back and forth on her forgiving me.But she had been really adamant about not wanting to talk to me. The last time I tried to reach out to her, she had told me it would take her a very long time to accept the new me, as she had put it. Sounds frustrating, right? I m
The Alpha's Exchanged Mate Chapter 212
Edwina's POV...I rolled to the side of the bed, trying to find a comfortable side of the bed to rest in, but I couldn't. I had been awake since about seven am, but I couldn't find myself standing up from the bed. I just wanted to remain there, most especially to avoid seeing Xander. At the same time, I was aching badly for food and a nice cup of tea. My baby and I had awoken with a craving for food.Turning around to get a hold of my phone, I attempted to dial Becca when there came a knock on the door. As I got off the bed reluctantly to open it, I hoped it wouldn't be Xander. Nothing has prepared me for such a discussion this morning.Opening it, I found Becca by the door with a platter of food. "Oh my goodness, Becca! You are godsent." I muttered, opening the door widely.My eyes glazed at the sumptuous sight of the breakfast of bacon, toast, scrambled egg, sausage, some freshly made juice, and a cup of tea to cap it all."How in the world did you do this? Do you live in my mind?"
The Alpha's Exchanged Mate Chapter 211
Authors POV...Caleb scoffed in irritation as he threw daggers at Ramona with his eyes. It had been hard for him to get over how low she had stooped to get back at him. Having her appear in his home looking all relaxed made him boil terribly. He had just taken a pill to suppress the headache threatening to split his head. The moment his eyes landed on Ramona, it seemed to be coming back with full force."Answer the fucking question. Why are you here?" Caleb blurted again, his eyes catching sight of Xander wheeling himself towards his room.Ramona sat with gait, staring at Caleb with a straight face. She had no intention of backing away from fighting for his attention. She had known the kind of ruckus the video and document she had sent to Becca would cause. However, she was less bothered about it and couldn't care less about what anyone thought of her. She wants a home with Caleb and being Ramona, there is no way she would let it go that easily without a fight.Becca was way older tha
The Alpha's Exchanged Mate Chapter 210
Alexander's POV...Eyeballing his ass out, I turned my back to him, trying to wash up the used cups. One thing I loved to do was handle my chores. Before I got confined to the wheelchair, I used to swing by Ben's place to crash after a long day at work. We end up cooking and washing up ourselves. They were sweet memorable moments. I wanted to distract myself from responding to Caleb, or should I say, I was trying to gather my thoughts."Why aren't you saying anything?" He pressed on, raising his head fully now."Can you not." I inhaled deeply, scratching the back of my head. "I hope you haven't taken my advice of keeping something from your woman because I think that has cost me my small family."Caleb snorted, mumbling under his breath. "guess that's too late. But tell me, what happened?""Edwina saw me on my feet," I told him.He started with a perplexed look on his face, "Saw you on your feet? How did that happen?"I rolled my eyes, sitting my butt on a stool. I sighed, "so, yester
The Alpha's Exchanged Mate Chapter 209
Alexander's POV...Woke up to a cold side of the bed. The bags underneath my eyes were enough to act as an airbag during an accident. They were so heavy it felt like my eyes were under pressure.I had waited up for Edwina to return to the room, but it was obvious that wouldn't be happening. I was surprised to find out when I drifted off to sleep, though.My mind wobbled, and all I wanted was to stick to the bed and never have to come out of the room. Different emotions flowed through me. Now that Edwina knows my truth, I feel compelled to let the pack members know too. Truth is, judging by Edwina's reaction, I'm really scared the pack members, too, would be disappointed.I groaned inwardly while pulling at my hair. I can't believe this shit is happening right now; I thought everything was falling into place, and I would show myself to my woman at the right time. I can tell she hates me now and compares me to that fucking Ben. Now I have stooped so low to cursing the dead. I might go b
