All Chapters of The Alpha's Exchanged Mate : Chapter 191 - Chapter 200

Alexander's POV...I had seen dead bodies countless times before, but I didn't think I would feel this blank with my one-time best friend lying lifeless in front of me. It had happened so fast that there was no way anyone could throw blames around. Ben clearly knew what he was doing when he attempted to fight the warriors. There was no way he would have been able to escape.Everyone stood startled, uncertain of what move to make next. Bethel seems like the only one unbothered among us all."I would ask for his body to be deposited somewhere far away or burnt. It would be a waste of land and time to bury him right." Bethel muttered, "thanks for the insight, alpha Alexander. Would do well to come for dinner at yours as soon as the sizzlers pack completes its lockdown. Now to avoid further distraction, I would like you and your men off my land."Not arguing because we clearly have nothing else to do there. It was almost morning by the time we all stepped outside. My entire army and I wal

Alexander's POV...Edwina had been crying in her sleep when I got into the room. When I hurried to her side, her eyes were closed, which obviously met she was fast asleep. Her hums resounded.My body and mind were too exhausted to keep an eye on her. So instead, I lay next to her wrapping my arms around her as I shut my eyes for some blissful sleep.Her attempt to move away from my hold had woken me up. "Hey," I whispered, trying to adjust my eyes to the ray of sunlight that seeped in through the slightly opened curtain."Good morning." Edwina's voice sounded coarse. It hurt me as I imagined how long she must have been crying. "When did you return?" She asked, moving away from me as she sat up.I did the same as her, "this morning." I replied, letting out a long yawn as I rubbed at my tired eyes.The way she blinked, it was obvious she had no more tears to let out. Her crying tank was dry. If I was the tank too, there was no way I would seek a refill. Her eyes held such huge bags if t

Edwina's POV...I must say Xander's attitude towards me seems really different, but that will be a discussion for later. And if I must admit, I really like this newfound closeness. At the same time, my head might just be messing around with me.The dungeon looks so unlivable; it's no surprise that hardened criminals are the ones left to rot in it. But the dungeon appeared to be like heaven for my father; he looked so unbothered, and his eyes unrepentant.The moment the guards called him out, he appeared by the cell gate. John snickered when his eyes landed on Xander and me."You have really got some nerves bringing her here." John snorted at Xander.I would have expected Xander to say something, but instead, he kept his eyes glued to me. My hands were sweaty and shaky. I didn't know how I was really feeling. So many emotions rushed through me. Standing unprovoked in front of me was the man that had caused so much pain to my sister and me. The same one who had faked his own death and m

Alexander's POV...I stretched too freely and almost sold myself out to Edwina. She lay sleeping quietly next to me, and the movement I made was too much. It didn't take long for her to open her eyes."Hey!" She whispered, trying to avoid my eyes.She obviously wasn't sure if I was still angry or not. The burst of emotions that had happened at the dungeon was really unplanned. Until now, I had always thought I knew just how to hide my emotions well. Feeling like no one can get me to express just how I feel until I want to.However, I had been proven wrong this morning with Edwina. I wasn't blind to catching the emotions she emitted at the mention of Ben, and it made me boil. I am not ready to be in a competition with a dead man. A match I had unintentionally been in when he was alive. It got me really reeled when John used that avenue to get a reaction from Edwina.I have had just about enough and decided to blurt out my emotions the exact way I feel. I felt hurt, and it was different

Alexander's POV...I should really have a private chat with the moon goddess at this point. Things have been looking fine for the past two weeks, with Edwina and I getting closer and the alliance with the sizzlers pack going well. I felt at peace, hopeful of the good things to come. I had almost totally forgotten about John in the dungeon.Caleb and I had been returning to the packhouse when Carlos called to inform us about John committing suicide. I couldn't bring myself to tell Edwina. Caleb, as always, did the talking. For me, it was the way Edwina's face morphed into an unreadable script."You should sit," Caleb advised, helping her to sit her butt down.I wheeled myself next to her, rubbing at her hand gently. "How do you feel?" I inquired.Edwina exhaled, "I don't know. It feels like it would have been better if he was killed by the law instead of getting away like that."I exchanged glances with Caleb, "so, you are not bothered about it?"She chuckled, "I am glad it's all over,
