The Alpha's Exchanged Mate Chapter 40
Edwina's POV...I know the only reason Xander wasn't blowing up at me was that he had promised me he wasn't going to get angry at me, but I could see, with every fiber of being in him, that he was mad at me. I could have prevented all this; I could not have let Ben escape if I had only told them the day he had told me. Now we have a fucking walking, living, breathing problem in our hands, and that was the most catastrophic thing I could think of right now.I was gazing through the window of the see-through glass as I saw him talking with Caleb, he was downstairs, and I stood on the balcony surrounded by pink flowers upstairs. He was strong from left to right, and you could tell from all his facial expressions and indication that he was super agitated and perplexed about what to do. I was also.I knew this wasn't the right time to start casting blame on anyone, but apart from Ben, who was foolish enough to escape, again, I blame myself. Maybe I was too naive and indeed a good person. O
The Alpha's Exchanged Mate Chapter 41
Edwina's POV...If there were one thing I could openly say I am happy for, that would be the truce with Alex. Should I call it a truce? I could just say we found a temporary common ground.It's been three days since Ben's escape, and everything has been silenced. We were still trying so much to manage information and limit people's access to the night howlers pack.I stood in front of the old painting of the late Luna, Alex's mum, and then recalled the secret about Alex's birth that had accidentally slipped off from Becca.I was still finding it so hard to believe that such a huge secret had been kept from him in the past, and he still doesn't know,He has indeed been through a lot, and I can't help but wonder what specifically has been deliberately kept from him.If he doesn't know that his mother wasn't a wolf but rather a human, such a big detail that was skipped, what else doesn't he know about?My hands trailed down the rungs, and I took note of every piece of painting on the wal
The Alpha's Exchanged Mate Chapter 42
Author's POV...He stood gazing through the window blinds at her. He stood at a distance that was safe, close enough to get a perfect glimpse at her but also far enough not to get noticed, her dark wavy hair blowing with no synchrony as the standing fan was doing enough justice to her. It was doing its work.She wouldn't notice he was there. He had never been the one who was good enough for her,She was walking from the home office today as the Alpha had called her over to tend to some needs of his.He shouldn't let himself be distracted by her, but her beautiful, curvy body makes it so hard for him to concentrate. Her straight legs fall out perfectly, revealing their glory under her black straight gown, they were crowned with thin heels, and she could just be called a Luna if only she were. No wonder she had always kept high standards for herself. No wonder she had always thrown herself at the Alpha before he disappointed her by choosing another woman as his Luna, but she didn't let
The Alpha's Exchanged Mate Chapter 43
Alexander's POV...I glared at her as she stood gloriously naked before me, her perfect curves being highlighted in the beam of the sun. It cooperated to make her gleam so bright like the ray of sunlight she isShe shined so bright; no wonder the moon goddess made her mine, my Luna. The water dripping down her skin made me want to trail them up with my tongue and lick every curve and corner of her body. She was exceptionally beautiful, and she knew it. She smiled at me when she reached out for the towel hanging on the toilet rail and wrapped it around her body.Fuck this wheelchair!!!If I wasn't still confining myself to the restriction of its wheels, I would have reached out to her right now. I would twelve her from behind, yank the towel out of her body with no apology, turn her to face the wall, and fuck her right here and right now.But I was still so much not willing to give up this act, especially not for some temporary form of pleasure. It wasn't worth it for the greater and b
The Alpha's Exchanged Mate Chapter 44
Authors POV...He knew this wasn't all it seemed to be, she sounded like an entirely different person, but deep down, this has always been what he wanted, to be noticed by her, that when she finally sees him as worth her love, he would have measured up to her standard.But now that he has that, she even came to offer a truce to him. Why does he still feel strange and indifferent about the whole thing?He left her office after a short casual chat. He could even consider them friends now. But why does friendship feel like that of one with fringe benefits?He walked past the hallway and took the stairways leading to the ground floor. He wanted to go talk with Alpha Alex.Then when he was about to take the last turn, he bumped into Becca, who was holding some toiletries in her hands and all of them fell off."I am so sorry," he said as he quickly bent down to pick them up for her."It's nothing," she also bent down to pick them up, and in the course of that, their fingertips touched.Ther
The Alpha's Exchanged Mate Chapter 45
Alexander's POV...I am so fucked. Once I heard the door open, my mind left my body, and I was finding it hard to breathe. All of a sudden, the spacious room became so much thinner, and everything appeared to be smaller. My lungs closed up against each other as I struggled to grasp for air. A moment of anger had ruined months of work. I didn't want to look at the door as the figure quickly rushed in. I could have run back to my wheelchair, but my head had already calculated in a matter of milliseconds that it was impossible to make that run. And then I gazed up at the mirror, and a sense of relief came unto me immediately as the curvy shape figure I was expecting to see turned out to be a masculine, muscular figure.Fuck!!!Fuck!!!Fuck!!!It was Caleb. Caleb just discovered my secret.He stopped halfway through as I could see him perplexed. He was totally and utterly confused.This wasn't what he was expecting to see, as I could see him puzzled as his head cried out to understand exa
The Alpha's Exchanged Mate Chapter 46
Edwina's POV...When I exited the room the first time and heard the sound of broken glass, I wanted to turn back.No, I rushed back, but then I saw Caleb enter the room before I did and felt that he was in a better place to help than I was.I turned back again and went to the balcony of the pack house. I could see the whole of the night howlers' territory from up there, women, children, and men whose life depended on a battle with no hope of winning. That must be a whole lot of pressure on the Alpha, and with Ben on the loose, it must be extra pressure on him.The fact that Ben knew all the ins and outs of the territory made it worse. He could go in and out without being noticed.When I was married to Ben, he would tell me about the tunnels and channels leading in and out of the territory that only he knew about.No wonder it was so easy for him and Sonia to cheat without being noticed for a long time.The only time they were noticed was the time the Alpha became crippled, and they th
The Alpha's Exchanged Mate Chapter 47
Author's POV...He drummed his pen against the table in hopes of distracting himself from the pile of work that was currently sitting right on top of there, staring at him. But his efforts proved futile because no matter how much he drummed, the work remained on his table. Being a Beta was no child's play, and the fact that he had to spend hours working non-stop already proved that fact.Sighing heavily, he picked up another file from the pile on the table. He began scanning through it, the words were starting to become a blurry mess to him at this point, but he pushed on. A small knock came on his office door, and if it were not for his superhuman hearing, then he would have missed it. He crossed his fingers and silently prayed to the goddess that it wasn't more work, any more than what he had to deal with at the moment, and he might be passing out. "Come in," he called out, and the door opened to reveal Ramona. "Hi." She said, offering him a small smile which he happily returned

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

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
