The Alpha's Exchanged Mate
The Alpha’s Exchanged Mate – Chapter 65

Author’s POV…

It was a day she wasn’t prepared for, but she knew she needed to brace herself up for anything that might come her way. She sat alone in the empty room, reminiscing of all the things she had done that had led her to this very day.

She used to be the one sitting on that high throne, deciding the fate of the people. That was one part of the job description of being a Luna she liked because it made her feel powerful and like the fate of others were dependent on her, and she loved how that felt.

But here she was now, waiting for her fate to be decided by the man she cheated on alongside a group of elders she might have insulted at one point in her time spent as Luna. Her life was both complicated and sorrowful at this point.

She and Ben were supposed to be facing trial together, but now she stood alone with no one to turn to. Not even her sister, who she thought she was making headway with, wanted to stand for her or by her.

“Don’t worry, baby, mama got you,” she said to herself, rubbing her stomach. Her only form of strength now was actually something she never thought she wanted. When she first got pregnant, her first thought was to get rid of the baby, but she and Ben discussed it, and he was elated. Thank God, he always wanted a wolf baby that would carry on his legacy. Ben knew he couldn’t get it from Edwina. Maybe that’s the only reason he accepted the baby.

Maybe she was all over her head thinking what she had with Ben was more than an affair, and at some point, they did love each other.

Maybe it was just l**t, she concluded within her because all the time she was in the prison cell, all she could think about was Alpha Alex, and she knew she had messed up big time and let a good one get away.

But she was ready to do anything within her power to change things. She was ready to change the way he saw her. If only she could give them the real picture of what had happened and not sound like the victim but her truth, maybe, just maybe, he would forgive her because she was sure at a point in his life he had a soft spot for her and loved her so much.

The door opened slowly, and a guard walked in.

She glared at him, scrutinizing him from head to toe and her wolf said.

“Fake,”

She and her wolf have been keeping each other company lately, and she was almost always in a form that made her access her wolf and yet not shift.

It was her own coping mechanism. The six-foot-three soldiers that had just walked in looked different, his uniform was similar to that of other Night howlers soldiers, but when you pay keen attention to details, you will notice the slight disparity in them.

“You are a sizzler soldier,” she announced, and the man paused mid-way to where she sat down.

“How did you figure out this easily? Is there something that makes it so easy to spot?” He asked with a concerned face. If she was able to easily spot him without trying, then maybe others would, and he would put himself in harm’s way, and that was something he didn’t want.

“No, not really, but I designed the first set of our soldiers’ uniforms myself, so it is so easy to spot a fake from a real one,” she replied to him, smiling.

“Okay, I was sent here by Ben in the name of Alpha Bethel,” he announced, and Sonia rolled her eyes. There were the last things she wanted, more complexity to the more complicated life.

“Truly I don’t need Ben’s help, he should leave me be,” she cried out in frustration.

“He knows that. I am just here to observe and let you know that he is watching you, and soon you will be together as planned,” he paused, “he said I should remind you of the last time you guys spent together and the promise you made to him. He said to let you know that he is still keeping his, so you should keep yours as well.”

She sighed at this point, this wasn’t what she wanted to hear, and neither was it what would bring her comfort. It was actually a greater source of disturbance for her than anything else. The real guard walked in and took her up. At this point in time, she would rather be with the devil than listen to anything that came from the mouth of Ben. And yes, she knew she had played the equal role that led her into this mess she was in, but she also blamed Ben. He had not let her in on the full picture and his motive for doing all this because there was no world where his motivation was love. Instead, it was just filled with hatred on all levels, and that was it for him.

She walked through the hallway that led to the courtroom and remembered the days of glory when she wasn’t being dragged into the courtroom but rather walked in grandly with cheers and applause from all the sides. She would wave at them like she cared, but that was all an act from her side and their side. Most of them weren’t loyal to the throne but rather to the fact that they had a strong Alpha ready to defend them and save them from all forms of harm, but now that was gone, they had all disappeared. She felt bad that she was one of those disloyal people who only stayed for benefits. The hallway was empty, and no fans were cheering or frowning at her.

As soon as they reached the door to the courtroom.

“Wait,” she said. She wasn’t sure she was ready to face anything behind that door.

She thought she was prepared, but she wasn’t, and then she inhaled and exhaled.

“Get a hold of yourself, Sonia,” she said to herself, “your baby needs you to be at your best and strongest,” she affirmed to herself, and her mind flashed back to the last time with Ben when they were planning for this very day but had planned for it together, he had not told her that she would be standing here on her own. And sending a sizzler in disguise of a fake guard that doesn’t even know how to get the exact uniform right.

***FLASHBACK***

He reached out to her, she was naked before him, and he was between her legs. He didn’t want to thrust into her first without her begging for it.

His mouth was exploring her sweet spot.

She tasted sweet, just like he expected, and while his tongue explored her mouth, he allowed his fingers to explore her body. He ran them gently over her perky nipples, flicking each nub which made her squirm before moving farther down. After running over the small expanse of her flat stomach, he grazed a finger over her p***y lips, teasing her a little.

His fingers hovered over her p***y, but he made sure to not connect it, which only made her squirm and whine. He had mastered what her body felt like and every inch in which he had run through as a map. He knew the right spot to k**s, to touch, and to suck. He knew where to tease her and what made her quiver.

He trailed his tongue down her jaw and eventually her neck. He peppered k****s all over her neck, and soon he found her sensitive spot. He teased the spot mercilessly with my tongue, and her loud m***s only served to spur him on.

He moved to her perky nipples and took one between his teeth, enjoying the way her perks hardened even more the moment his lips covered them. He suckled softly on her nipple, licking at them before leaving small bites all over her boobs. He switched to the other one and did exactly the same thing. He was going to be at it for a long time, and he was going to make her beg him before he would f**k her, but luckily for him, she had a wild elastic limit and could bear more.

Once he felt like she had had enough teasing, he finally slipped his fingers into her p***y and played messily in her p***y juice. She let out a loud m**n, and he smirked in approval.

But at this point, she couldn’t do so any more.

“F**k me, Ben,” she cried to him, and he smirked again.

He rose up to her and quickly rolled her to her stomach. She then arched her back, and with one swift movement, he thrust his hard length into her, hard, fast, and quick, and she began to cry out in pleasure.

“Harder, harder,” she screamed at him. She didn’t want him to last long. She just wanted to make him go crazy and drive her wild for the few minutes they would be f*****g, and as soon as they finished together, he rolled to the side of the bed.

“If you ever get caught alone, would you save me or save yourself?” She glared at him. What a strange question for him to ask right after s*x.

She laughed “don’t tell me this is what you have been thinking about,” she said with a smile on her face as she was amazed by his line of thoughts.

“Not really but I need to know, will you throw me under the bus, if you ever get caught alone? Because I would never,”

“We are a team. I would never do so,” Sonia replied.

***PRESENT DAY***

Now she knew it was never a plan of his to go to trial with her.

“F**k you, Ben,” she muttered underneath her breath in regret. He had always played her and had one step ahead.

“I am not only going to throw you under the bus but burn you in it,” she said in anger and nodded.

And the door to the court room opened.
