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
The Alpha's Exchanged Mate Chapter 30
Alexander's POV...It is said we find peace in love and war, and I might agree with that, my mind trailed back to that day my life flashed through my eyes, and I couldn't help but wonder what exactly would be the legacy I leave behind. Before the attack, I had woken to make sweet love to my Luna Sonia.She was lying on the bed, half-naked. She must have slept off waiting for me that way. I had a late night and had slept in the study.After the war meeting, I knew the hours were close, and I spent all night strategizing with Ben. He knew all my plans. He knew all the strategies and Plan B. I was agitated because I didn't know exactly how the attack would be planned. During the settlement negotiation, I had tried my best for us to come to a common ground because I didn't want to engage in war. The settlement had demanded half of the night howlers' territory, and that was like giving all of us to them, and that was a big negative to me.I sat on the bed where her legs were wide spread ap
The Alpha's Exchanged Mate Chapter 31
Edwina's POV...I wasn't sure at this point what to do, I had just discovered two scary facts and a potential threat, and I felt helpless. I wasn't sure if I should let the alpha know that because that would mean treason, and that is an offense punishable by death. As angry as I was with my sister and Ben for what they had done, I knew if I revealed this piece of information to Alpha Alex, he would definitely make sure they pay with their life.And then my mind wandered to what Ben had said about escaping. I wonder if he meant it or he didn't.He is a father-to-be, and it is normal for him to want to be with his child, so I can only assume that he would want to take such a drastic step. But he wouldn't dare? Would he?I got home in time for dinner, and I was surprised to see Alex already waiting for me. I don't know if I should let him know that I was aware of his visit to Sonia.But then, it is none of my business if he decides to tell me or not. We were not yet in the place where we
The Alpha's Exchanged Mate Chapter 32
Alexander's POV...I hated the fact that we had just quarreled over something as irrelevant and baseless as this. When I came back from work and was informed she wasn't back from her visit with Ben, I was agitated, but I also found out that she had gone to see her sister and became a bit relaxed. It wasn't like I was particularly jealous of Ben, but I don't know why she would still love him after all he had put her through. Was she being naive, or was she purposely blinding herself to the truth, which was glaring to anyone who would even bother to see it?But she chose not to see it. She was still naive, weak, and blinded to the fact that Ben used her and never loved her. But what I truly wanted to know was why Ben married her.I have had conversations with Ben, and he had never had any relationship with any humans, so when I heard he had secretly gotten married to a woman who didn't have a wolf, I questioned his choice.He had told me that the moon goddess had revealed her to him, bu
The Alpha's Exchanged Mate Chapter 33
Edwina's POV...I abhorred the fact that I thought I needed to make peace with him that night and went to fuck him in his study room like some cheap stake, and after all that, he still had the nerve to ask me a question that wasn't called for.I went back to the room sad and woke up multiple times at night, hoping he would come to bed, but he didn't. He slept in the study room. Why do I feel bad when it was clearly his fault? I wanted to make peace, and he didn't.I am genuinely trying my best to be his wife, but he doesn't seem to see my effort one bit. I woke up when I could feel the ray of the sun reflecting on my face. I murmured and cursed out because I was aware it was only Becca that could wake me up in such a vicious manner. She is pure evil."Good morning, ma'am," she said with a smile on her face, but I would interpret it as an evil grin considering what she had just done. I needed more time to sleep."Why are you waking me up this early, Becca? I don't have any activity or
The Alpha's Exchanged Mate Chapter 34
Alexander's POV...I woke up early in the morning to the ray of the sun reflecting in my eyes. This must have been one of the most uncomfortable sleep I have had in quite a long time. I was about to stand up when I quickly recalled that I was supposed to be crippled."Good Morning," a familiar voice sang as I was still trying to shake myself back to reality.I looked in the direction of the now opened window blinds, and Caleb was standing there, already dressed with one of his renowned smiles on his face."When I saw Edwina heading down here as I was going back to my room, I thought you two would have made up, and you wouldn't have to sleep on that uncomfortable couch." There was this slight tone that I could tell he was teasing me, but it was too early to get humorous for me. My back is still suffering from the pain caused by the couch. This couch wasn't designed for a six-foot, four inches tall man to sleep on."Well I messed it up again and this time I am not sure she will kiss me

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

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

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

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
