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
The Alpha's Exchanged Mate Chapter 26
Alexander's POV...I woke up the following day to the hanging smell of her perfume. I knew she said she would be going to the prison today, but I never assumed it would be this early. I do not like the idea of her visiting her ex-husband in prison, and neither do I like that she has this need to be at peace with him. Like the man fucking slept with your sister, and you want to make peace?But after all the conversations we had yesterday, she had asked me if I had visited Sonia since the incident had happened, and I had said no.When I realized there was a rumor going around the realm about her cheating and being caught in ungodly hours coming out of a particular private house with Ben, I had not believed it. I had thought it was too sudden and stupid to be cheating on me right under my nose. And then I was attacked by the sizzlers and rendered crippled, it was one of the most horrific experiences of my life, and my wife was always absent, it was either she was going to one function or
The Alpha's Exchanged Mate Chapter 27
Edwina's POV...The last time I was sitting at this desk, glaring through his eyes and all the lies he had told me.I hated myself for believing what he had told me all those nights when he came home smelling like expensive female cologne. Whenever I confronted him about my suspicions, he had flared up angrily and accused me of not trusting him.I wish I had listened to my instinct and investigated more. I wish I had chosen not to believe him. I should have analyzed our situation and how often he had unofficial trips to go, and I should have followed him to some of his so-called work functions. But I was the faithful wife who always stayed home waiting for her cheating husband to return home.If I am to be honest with myself, I had always known that Ben was cheating on me, and he had more skeletons to hide in his cupboard than he let me in on. But the only thing I had not expected was that he was having a relationship with my sister, my flesh and blood. That was the height of deceptio
The Alpha's Exchanged Mate Chapter 28
Edwina's POV…Going home, I was truly confused about the conversation I had just had with Ben. He had just openly told me he was planning to escape, and I wasn't sure if I wanted to tell Alex. It could just be his irrational part speaking again, but then I knew Ben. There was nothing irrational about him. When he says something, he almost always does it, and that's what scares me about all these. I needed to make one more stop before going back home. I needed to see my sister.The last time I was there, we left things a little bit scattered, especially with her crazy idea of Alex forgiving her one day.She is still my sister, and I needed to stand by her. I might have chosen Ben to be my husband, but she was made my sister by design, even though it wasn't always like that.I sat in the car; after instructing the driver to take me to the female prison, which wasn't that far, I recalled this was the same car I had fucked Alex in. It was crazy that I didn't care if the driver would hear
The Alpha's Exchanged Mate Chapter 29
Alexander's POV…I felt so weak. Caleb kept looking at me on our way back; he knew I wasn't able to confront Sonia, considering the amount of time I had stayed there. It wasn't that I didn't want to face her, but I felt I wasn't ready.Truth be told, I could say I loved Sonia, and she meant the world to me at a point in my life. But getting the kind of betrayal I did from her came as a blow to me, and it changed my perspective on love. And now, on the other hand, there is Edwina. I think I respect the woman she is, and I like her, but she still seems to be so in love with Ben. After all that undeserving prick had done to her, she still chose to love him. Her love is loyal, and I think that's the kind of love I need, not the sort that Sonia gave, which was only loyal to me in certain conditions.As I wheeled myself into the high-rise building of my company and greetings flew from left and right, I could only wave. Since I got married, this was the first time I showed up to work, and th

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.

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

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

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

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?"

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

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

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
